Masquerade

Its a good start man. Youve established a chord progression and a good home base. My ear wants to hear theme that stands out in a register above the cello... but I like that you have interplay betwee…

Duel on the Cliffs

This is a little action sequence that I wrote that is quite difficult. It is inspired by a scene in a series of fantasy novels I have read; the Legend of Drizzt. The music depicts the sword duel betw…

Dark Places- Cello quartet

Perfect for an overcast Sunday Afternoon!. Good sounding recording as well. Must be nice to have the Wife on hand for recording such things. Makes me want to record a guitar quartet.

Greetings, Who wants to listen?

Again, thanx for the comments. I think some times its just nice to have reassurance from other musicians / composers rather than friends if you know what I mean. And your last comment Ray, about ever…

Greetings Josh!
Thank you for your kind comments on "Glen Onoko" and "Tiny Bouncing Objects CGI". Listening to your first title "Drizzt vs. Entreri" I can easily envision the music in a D&D or other RPG as a unique boss fight or MMO exploration area. It catches that feeling quite well. Keep it up my friend!

Hi Josh,
Thanks for taking the time to listen. I'm listening to Duel right now, but I'm not sure that my laptop speakers will do your orchestration justice. I'll have to return tonight on a real system with better speakers. Until then, happy writing.

Hey Josh, I love your stuff dude, especially The Way We Were. That to me has a very subtle hit of James Horner or someone similar to him. I'm kind of hearing some hint of Titanic maybe, which I loved btw. That music told a store, it wasn't overly complicated compositionally, or Orchestration wise but was soulful, melodic, etc. All are great though! Thanks for the compliments on Mystic Forest, I'm taking a class on writing to picture so all those cues are short because they were written to short scenes. All could are crying for more development, and will get it in due time.

It's great to meet you and stay in touch.

It's not bad, but be wary of slipping into some generic fantasy game style. It does flow well, and the beginning is decent, but what really gets me into it is the dramatic buildup starting at 1:10. Actually, it's that piccolo/flute that really does…

Wow, that was something out of the ordinary. I almost felt out of breath, somehow. I can definately see a struggle and very exciting moment with a lot of tension. Fantasy genre, could be, but I wouldn't have pinpointed it without knowing. It is ver…
