Hello AllMy first real post on the forum. I'm blind folded and ready for the firing squad. This composition is intended to be cinematic piece inspired by the Dark Knight Rises film. Since I aspire to compose for film and television I figured this was a good place to start. I know the brass is a little thin (i'm still learning the mixing aspect of this game).
