Thank you for the detailed comment! Means a lot to me, especially coming from someone as experienced as you. Haven't noticed the similarity to Pachebel's Canon until you pointed it out. This is wild! Bach is definitely a source of inspiration for me (mostly subconsciously, I'm not well versed in formal analysis), and, of course, directly followed by Kondo.
Thanks! I don't know much about orchestral libraries, so I wouldn't know what the limitations of BBCSO are. I am getting into this, can you recommend some other tools for orchestral work?
I took much inspiration from other orchestral composers in this community for this one. There are some true wizards here. I do love what orchestras have to offer. Will have to figure out percussion and such next. I'm definitely having a blast! Thanks for listening.
I still have to learn how to create an "epic" orchestral work. Will probably require percussion and such. Challenge for next time! I'm glad you liked this.
Nice job turning a common theme into a nighttime and daytime version in Our Time on the Skyway. I love the harp in the night version. The piano parts in Sailway Traffic in the Rain and The Hill that Touches the Sky are wonderful. very well written soundtrack. Thanks for sharing!
Subtle and dreamy intro. That drawn out IV-I cadence there is really beautiful. I like the gradual buildup in this piece, up to a joyful bouquet of orchestral sounds. Nice job putting this together!
I love those arpeggios in the background. Subtle fairy fountain / wishing well vibes, very appropriate for falling stars or somesuch, too. Thanks for sharing!
This track is full of emotion, nice buildup, too and great attention to detail ( the short harp arpeggios here and there), very magical. A pity there is no streaming link. I bet more people would listen to it if you had one. I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing!
Aww! This put a smile on my face from the beginning. Nice job with the vocals and instrumentation. And thanks for this Jam, really awesome to have this community!
Really nailed the beach vibe with that subtle reggae vamp and the plucky instruments. Kept me on my toes throughout. Sounds like a great tune for a beach workout, very motivating!
Very effective opening with Great Voyage. Instant nautical feel with the short strings, drums and the flute! Also captured the "starry" part with the high pitched chimes in Among the Stars. Some subtle retro vibes in this soundtrack. I can't really tell what it is, maybe the instrumentation or some of the beats? It definitely fits the story you are telling. Thanks for sharing!
Neat buildup. That middle section came out really powerful. Nice attention to detail, too with those wave sfx in the background and little accessories here and there (that harp glissando). Then the vocal part in the end is unexpected but totally fits. Nice job!
You really delivered on the promise of a distorted star. Ha! What a saucy mix. The techno is strong with this one. Gives me Frank Klepacki vibes. Really unique and creative take on the theme!
Very unique entry with the robo voice. I can hear you put a lot of effort and thought in this, to great effect! Really creative take on the theme, thanks for sharing!
That's an impressive amount of music for the time we had! I like how each track has its own distinct feel, and how you reuse a main motif throughout. Also nice contrast between daytime and night themes using different instrumentation. You used strings for the nighttime for the most part, which is pleasantly consistent (except in Enemy where it is the other way around). Nice work on the story, too!
Catchy theme! I like how you use it throughout in different variations. On the Sea has an instant nautical vibe with that fiddle. Workshop is my favorite, presenting the theme in a whimsical way with that yogurt container percussion. What a great shop theme! Made me smile. Neat work!
I love that smooth intro with the cello, then the ascending fifths in Gates of Desire, very cool. Seafaring has an instant nautical vibe with these percussive elements, very effective swells in there, too. Troubled Waters is creepy and menacing with the short string vamp in the background and the deep notes. Great buildup, like a storm or something worse is approaching. Where the Stars touch the Water: Probably the most cinematic track of all. How very nice to hear the intro theme again here (the fact that I recognized it again means it is a catchy theme!), wraps it up nicely.
This is awesome work for a week, very professional quality. Thanks for sharing!
