"Hiya, Ingo.. thanks for your time.
yes, everything is sequenced... I'd normally play the guitar parts myself but do not have a 7 string guitar for the low end.

"Hey, Dane.. Thanks for the comments & your time.
I agree with everything you say.. Had a few 'normal life' problems to deal with hence the delayed replies here.
All sorted now so I can get back to working on this…"
"Good stuff here DC, good sounds, good ideas. I like the overall concept of a mix of styles; I'm not sure about the style labels you mention but that's another discussion. The video idea sounds great and that should help to unify your…"
"Hello DC
A brave attempt indeed.
It will benefit integrated with the video.
Did you mean avant garde in the quasi-popular music sense or contemporary, now, new ideas and things.
I'm no fan of metal music but I'm ok with experimental…"
"Very nice. This has kind of a modern "James Bond Theme" feel to it."
Experimental
this is purely experimental; attempting to fuse many different musical styles/ feelings.I'm writing stuff for a music video I'm working on where alien characters are playing all the instruments.I'm writing an avant-garde section (still a work in progress) that I'm starting to feel could be something on its own?The female vocalist will pick up an electric violin in this section dancing/ moving with the <steampunk, ballet dancing female alien bass player> ha, yeah I know:) hopefully, it…See More

"Potentially an interesting discussion.
I'll respond even if I'm not one of these lovely people thanks to being completely incompetent at writing melodies for the most part.

Chord progressions/ sequences.
Personally, I feel folk put too much emphasis on the melody at times & often do not consider the power of chords.When writing, one could have a basic melody in their head & try to make it: <better?>' by changing the melody..IMO, the chords underneath can dramatically change the <feel> of a melody without actually changing it...Have of you lovely people tried/ experimented with this?Peace.DC...See More
"Saul said:
Thank you DC, I hear what you're saying. Do you have any suggestions how the piece can be made better? I willing to listen to any helpful opinions.
Honestly, Saul my friend- I've listened to it 4 times now & IMO it's a…"
"Hello, Saul... a lovely piece, well-programmed/ performed & mastered ... though I must say the constant hard attack of the high solo sting/s kinda spoils it for me- that's just my opinion of course.
Peace.

"Hi, Rob...This is the question posed in your opening post:
I'd love to know what you would do in my position?
Rob...I Would luv to have Vinnie Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl performing all my drum parts for example, but that ain't…"
"Hiya, Dane.
everything is recorded dry in high-quality software like the Spitfire libraries. By default, everything will probably have a little reverb added- just turn the reverb off, or any other effect that might be added.
Peace.

"Hiya, Harmonius. Kontakt is brilliant, it pretty much sorts out everything you import automatically.
Have you tried/ heard spitfire's: 'British drama toolkit? Superb for feeling in a piece.. I use it often.
DC..."
"I like that very much.. Maybe come down 2 semitones where this clip finishes, keeping the same feel in the background but change the melody the 'lead' instruments are playing? Just a thought...
Peace.
