    Just wanted some feedback on it. Not quite in the realm of film score, but whatever.

    Thanks Bregt.

    Wyatt, I like it. Reminds me of Shore's "Treebeard", with a hint of Elfman's "Planet of the apes".

  5. Wyatt, I enjoyed the whole structure of the piece: especially the middle section that started ~1:30. And after hearing this energetic portion it flowed quite well into the end section. It mirrored the beginning section (?) with the isolated rhythms. As a start to the piece though I personally thought that the choice of sounds was a bit harsh and it detracted from the actual rhythms you were laying out. Does that make sense?

    Reminded me of something John Carpenter/Alan Howarth would put together.

    Thanks for fixing the link, Bregt.

    Thanks for your comments, Peter, I'm happy to hear you liked it.

    FalkirkBairn, first off, thanks for all the feedback. Your right, the end is supposed to bring back a familiar feeling from earlier. About the instruments at the beginning, the very beginning part was supposed to sound the way it did, kind of to give somewhat of an uncomfortable feeling, but a bit later on when all of the instuments join in at the beginning, I think I will change that part around so things won't sound so... overwhelming. Thanks again.

    I have to say i liked the piece a lot 'cause its concept (evolving around the clock and clockwork) is pretty tight, coherent and musically imaginative. Works perfectly. I also liked too, how it starts randomly and sparse and kicks into motion via driving rhythm and repeated motif from that point onwards. Good idea, would be good if you expanded a bit more though. Keep it up!
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Thankyou very much, Demetris, really glad you recognized the theme of the whole thing. Yeah, I agree it could have been longer, I'm not planning on changing the length though. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

    I preferred "Flutes" (which actually vaguely reminds me of Orbital/Paul Hartnoll).
    As for "Clockwork"... sorry it didn't quite do it for me.

    Thanks for taking the feedback in the way I had intended - constructive. It certainly was an uncomfortable listening experience! But reflecting on that aspect of the piece, having this section the way it was affected how the final section came across. By changing the first section may reduce the effect of the final section? I dunno...just thinking out loud.

    Could anyone tell me how to host a song as a quicktime file? Like the ones on the "Guess the Score Game" thread, for example.

    The files used for guess the score are just MP3 files, it's your computer that's opening it with QuickTime. wink

    I think the Apple equivilent is just an M4U file. confused
