    Infidel Armies

    Thanks for listening, and for the good feedback. Definitely it's a bit disjointed for a pure musical piece. It was conceived as a compose-to-film challenge I set for myself; trying to work up an action trajectory based on an animation storyboard, so it's got sort of a "false epilogue" section...

    Infidel Armies

    My latest... Hope you enjoy I got some good feedback on my last piece; about my soundspace not sounding very unified. I just sprang for MIR, and I think it's an improvement for putting these disparate sound libraries into the same room in a (fairly) convincing way. Composition and...

    Triumph In Defeat

    I know, right. Some articulations have really slow attacks, and low brass is tough because you don't necessarily want that crispy sforzato sound right on the beat, but the legato notes can ramp up to full power so slowly. At times, I've gotten so frustrated with overall un-tightness, that I go...

    Seeking Critiques

    Thanks, legit criticisms. I'm definitely re-examining the intro dynamics. The old-fashioned comment probably fits, based on the composers I like who aren't much in vogue these days (Big fan of Alexander Courage, Lalo Schifrin, Elmer Bernstein, etc.). And I think there's a bit of Bach, Handel...

    Seeking Critiques

    Thanks Ryan, good feedback. I should probably slowly build the strings up... i.e.: save the most relentless for last.

    My First Classical - Flowing

    I agree with most of the other comments. Maybe put it away for a week, work on other stuff, then give it a fresh listen and pick out a few parts where things are seeming to gel, and where a distinctive melody comes out. Then try orchestrating that same melody in a few different ways, switching...

    Triumph In Defeat

    Hey Jeremy. Nice piece. Intriguing sonics that I assume came from the Neutron. The only thing that stood out to me is that maybe the horns figure that comes in around two-thirds of the way though is perhaps a bit behind the beat and should be nudged earlier.

    What do you think of this?

    Hey Frederick, I just checked out all of your links. Great stuff, and your production chops make me feel like a rank beginner. Thanks a lot man, lol. :( Just curious though (if you don't mind sharing): what's your signal chain for achieving that epic baritone guitar riff tone? I can never...

    What do you think of this?

    Fair point Frederick. My real name's no secret: Mott Jordan. Nice to meet you. Since I'm also an animator and an illustrator and graphic designer, I just have an umbrella name for all of these: Mysterylab Media. It's just brand recognition that is conducive to crossover work: Whenever I have an...

    Seeking Critiques

    Here's a new piece I've been working on. Contains a few awkward transitions where I may insert some measures, and I would welcome feedback / other composer references for inspiration. Also seeking feedback on production. Drums: Spitfire Albion One + Drum Fury Strings: LASS First Chair...
