bjornpdx Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 A work in progress. I like the melody but the arrangement could be a lot better. I wrote this a few years ago with a flute and guitar instruments but I decided to change to violin and piano which sounded better to me. The piano part isn't how a piano is usually played I guess. I used the violin and concert grand instruments from the Kontakt Factory Library so nothing fancy there. Thanks for listening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikF Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hey bjorn, nice composition, I hear this as an oboe and harp tune😊 Rik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 Thanks Rik I did have it as an oboe and harp at one time and it almost worked IMO. I should look at that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 cool composition and I would consider continuing to find instruments - the piano is decent, actually, maybe some more natural room reverb on it. The violin to me is super artificial - and dry - maybe reverb helps that along, too. Extra kudos for some nice counterpoint along the way! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Nice. Everything works well together. As far as instruments, you could go with many, but I like piano/violin. 🙂John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 pretty tune Bjorn - I agree with Tom on the artificial nature of the instrument sounds. Why not try something artificial and use synth sounds? I still think it would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 amiller Thanks. Appreciate the listen. Tom I tried lots of different violin and string vsts and they all sounded too much like violins - that kind of scratchy sound they make that I don't like. The factory violin in Kontakt sounded pretty good to me. Gonna try using straight ahead synth sound instead as per Daryl's suggestion below. JohnB Thanks for listening and commenting. Daryl Thanks. See my comment to Tom above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The phrasing of a violin can be difficult to achieve even with the best libraries. I 'd also try switching it out with a synth lead, moog etc... If you have a decent harpsichord vi/patch you might try that in place of the piano too. The use of different instruments might help inspire the arrangement or compositional changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I liked it Bjorn - you should do more compositions like this - I think you have a talent for it. Very cool. I enjoyed the listen very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
