Latest Composition: Nostalgia
Started Mar 20, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
It's a short piece, but I didn't want to try to make it longer just for the sake of making it longer. "Nostalgia" I think fits the piece well because I hear elements of sadness and joy, which…Continue

Andrew Highland replied to Karl Whelan's discussion Extracting the sound from my head."I have experienced the same type of thing as Karl and Gordon. I think the hardest part of translating that amazing symphony in your head into something someone else can hear is figuring out the instrumentation - the symphony in your head is a…"

It's a short piece, but I didn't want to try to make it longer just for the sake of making it longer. "Nostalgia" I think fits the piece well because I hear elements of sadness and joy, which generally seem tied into the feeling of nostalgia.Instruments used:Ensemble Strings x 3Bass PizzicatoFlutePiccoloHammered DulcimerHarpFrench Horn x 2PianoChoirAny feedback appreciated!See More

Andrew Highland posted a discussionMy Newest Song - Age of Aggression
Hello all! I just joined the forum today (awesome idea for a forum) and thought I'd share a song I finished today with you all to see what you think. I'm totally satisfied with the melody and structure of it, though the crescendo horn at 1:34 I think sounds a bit too harsh. If anyone's knowledgeable in Kontakt 5 it would be awesome to get some advice on accomplishing that - I've maximized the Wetness and Minimized the Dryness of the crescendo horn instrument and it still sounds not quite to…See More

Dang haha, yea I listened to you're pieces, sounds like you went through a full out upgrade! What are you using for you're other orchestral sounds outside of strings? I'm pretty fed up with everything im using right now, I have a lot of good synths, but nothing good as far as real sounds go. I was looking into VSL, I really want to start buying some of them pretty soon. That's crazy tho man, sounds like a horribly painful process to make a song come out properly. What kind of computer you ganna get? And hey thanks man, I've heard of Tales of Symphonia but I never got a chance to play it. I really love most of the music from square enix, there a huge inspiration to me.
Anyways I added you on skype so let me know when you're free!

Hey man, haha we're pretty much the same person as far as composition goes lol, video games, movies, and hip hop lol. But yea i'm down to jump on skype sometime and talk a bit. I'm ganna go to your soundcloud in a minute and listen to the other stuff you've wrote. I actually work on my hip hop stuff the most since it seems to be my worst genre, plus my brother is my officially signed artist so I gotta make sure he has product lol. But yea man lets talk. I'm honestly trying to basically start up my own music production company, so if you like the stuff we're doing, you're welcome to join the team!
