a two days work tune

stamvas · Apr 21, 2006, 11:58 AM

I had some free time so I composed this tune. Everything came out of the bassline. Composed in reason with some kx fx and then some multiband proccessing in Audition. It sure needs tweaking though.
I'd like to know how nice you find the mixing work because my audio hardware (speakers etc) isn't really good.

here is the link and feel free to comment

hi stamvas,

thats GREAT, I love it!!!!!
what a summery sound! great chord structure. LOVE the arpegio at the beginning, but you d probably guess that i would say that as Im a sucker for them and use them in my songs alot!

i cant hear it too loud as new baby is in room but will listen again in the morning mix wise.

really good though, might need some more variation though perhaps as it keeps to the same melody too much, perhaps??

I agree with your advice, a little variation is needed.

I used to play the trumpet but this one is on-keyboard-sample-played and a little quantized afterwards.

thanks anyway for your positive comments.

Very nice

I wasn't sure what to expect, when it first started out, it reminded me of a Wham! song or something, hehe, but that quickly changed. I like the way the song develops, and changes over tome. Maybe just add a little more variation after the middle part of the song. You have a great combination of sounds in there, and I like the Star Trek sounding thing you have going on. Overall I think it is really good. Nicely done

man you really made me laugh saying "the star-trek thing"

. Your comment on this sound is very successfull.

Thanx for taking the time to listen to it(and comment on it). I'm not going to change anything in the track for the time being because I'm making a few new track for the soundtrack of a short film.

cheers!

Yup, that's what I was thinking of.

BTW: By Start Trek thing (for anyone wondering), I meant the spacy flute sounding instrument that comes in around the 1:20 mark, which made me think of the theme to the original Start Trek series.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it is closer to the "Dr.Who" series theme sound.

Russ · May 13, 2006, 03:08 PM

No, I am definatley thinking of Star Trek (you can listen to it here (Theme/Opening Credits) the part starting @30 second mark), but I do love the Dr. Who theme.

You're damn RIGHT! but...
check this one too
drwhotheme

but in fact it was a little more whisling sound than singing-synth

Russ · May 13, 2006, 03:22 PM

Ooh, that is a bad version of the Dr. Who theme (is that you?)

BTW: If I recall correctly (it was a very long time ago), it was the ending theme of Dr. Who that I liked.

In any case, I look forward to hearing your future stuff.

stamvas · May 13, 2006, 03:34 PM

we had a fun time with this sci-fi flash back and it would be a pitty to noy listen to dr.who ending theme so here it is this time original and not by me(hehe)
ending theme

Russ · May 13, 2006, 03:39 PM

Now thats better, hehe.
It's been fun
