bjornpdx Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just some noodling around with synths. The title doesn't mean anything, political or otherwise. Well, maybe it does.

PhonoBrainer Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I like the tone of the Grandeur in a piece like this. Did you have a delay going on it, or play it that way? Either way, sounded nice. You have chosen the synths that are all distinctly different, one from another, and mixed them so try all fit into a cohesive whole. Good job! -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks Tom I used uHe Colour Copy delay effect on the piano. You just need to play one note at regular intervals and it fills in some pretty interesting extra notes, which I guess is what delay effects do, but this one's better than others I've used.

Well, maybe it does I love ambiguity in lyrics and titles; so good on ya there! Well done BTW. 8 hours ago, emeraldsoul said: You have chosen the synths that are all distinctly different, one from another, and mixed them so try all fit into a cohesive whole. Good job! Tom has summed it up succinctly! for whatever reason FireFox and/or the forum software is not allowing me to hit the enter key and leave my signature. Or, a "sad" emoji (not about the tune, just the stupid software); oh well.... the other Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 You know Bjorn - I thought this was impressive - a nice job indeed. You're quite a better composer than you think you are. Excellent mix and I really enjoyed the listen - cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 kloon, "the otherTom" and Doug I do appreciate the listen and the comment. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcumpian Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Sounds pretty good to me! I like the way everything meshes together. You've got a really nice bed laid down here, I would just like to hear a real melody to take it from ambient to another level. Really nice job on what you've got!

amiller Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 So much talent on this forum. Very cool piece. Thanks for posting.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Very nice to listen to. I think the score is well down. The instruments well chosen. The balance great. My only nit pick is the dynamics, particularly the cymbals swells and crashes as well as the tympani drums. The perceived volume increase doesn't push the song forward like it should. I can hear the volume change but I don't hear the dynamics of a volume change. Nicely done. You are talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Dan Thanks. I'm thinking about doing a melody track on top. amiller, Gerson Thank you. Jim Yeah, I never seem to pay much attention to the drum track. IDK I just can't hear if I'm improving things or not when adjusting volumes and such. Appreciate the insight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Very trippy piece Bjorn! It has a great foundation to put some vocals over. I love the feel of this. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I missed this one, too, but I'm glad I finally caught up to it. This may inspire me to try another instrumental because I have so many VSTs waiting to be explored. As one said above, you're a damn good composer! You put just the right amount of textures and layers in this to put me in a mood! Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Bjorn, your creativity is so Deep and Divers (that's british spelling...divers). Do you do any other of the arts? Loved this, some of the best I've heard around here. Great for a sunny morning in Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
