Bob Morabito replied to Vn's discussion Patxi's Ghost"Very evocative, and mysterious--the eerie other worldly sounds paint a very convincing and enjoyable journey for the listener. Im drawn into this world and enjoyed it immensely.

Kjell Prytz replied to Vn's discussion Patxi's Ghost"Very well done. Intelligent and emotional music. Although being cinematic, it certainly doesn't need a movie, it creates its own images and exactly those you depicted.
Congrats to you

Gav Brown replied to Vn's discussion Patxi's Ghost"Hi Vn,
That's some good haunted house music there! I don't usually follow "cinematic" works that much, but this one is several cuts above the pack. Good imagery, which captures the intent of your description quite well I think.…"

The door behind me shut itself! Torn curtains glowing in the moonlight swayed eerily. A chill…See More
Vn replied to Kjell Prytz's discussion Piano Quartet Oceans of Time"Nice piece. Very calming. At 58s, I do find the strings suddenly drop out - it seems like a few notes didnt play there for a bar or so? Rest of the mix sounded good to me.
Thx!

Vn replied to Gav Brown's discussion Just for Fun!

Vn replied to Bob Porter's discussion Is it harder to write fast music, or slow music?"In my experience, when writing for film/video, if the tempo of the sound track is 'fast' I find i have to come with with more notes to cover the same length of film as opposed to something 'slow' where I can evolve a few…"
