bjornpdx Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 David, While listening I kept thinking that your song sounds like someone telling a story. That was before looking up "tone poem" and finding out that's what a tone poem is. Very creative! Reminds me a bit of Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev. Thought I heard a bear sneaking up on me in there! -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi David - I hope you are well. Strings and percussion sound great mate - just those BIG drums that get squashed when they come in. This is an excellent composition - I listened to the end and it kept me listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Daryl, I tried using rx 7's declip on those horrible drum passages in order to make them better. It improved a little, but they're still squashed. Glad you liked the other bits. Cheers!

Makke glad to see you. How are things in Finlandia? I just listened to the Sibelius violin concerto for the umpteenth time last night. This is a cool clip: Take care.

I used to have a finalized (hardware). When you get the settings right they work really well. I think I would like the software version way better than the hardware version! Yes the TC Electronic finalizer does some things that other mastering products don't do. It's great for dialing in things quickly.

Lynn Wilson Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We've come a long way since camp Granada (hello mother, hello father). I used to live in Portland in 1986 and hung out at Apple music. I wonder if we ever ran into each other. Anyway, if I ever go camping again, I'll remember this! Nice job, David.

Have a nice weekend! Greetings Makke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hung out at Apple when it was at the first location. Bought many cigarette -smelling pieces of kit from there. I can't remember when they moved, but by the time I was re acquainted with PDX they were out of business. You must know Portland Music ...they're still around. Thanks for listening to this rather lengthy piece. :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my composition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Interesting piece, sounds like Peter and the Wolf and an occasional bear ramble into the scene and perhaps Bigfoot who I have heard might be in Oregon ? Having done many years of camping I can relate! Some of your sounds at night in a campground in the woods would get my attention! Lots of images come to mind listening. Some of the themes could be pieces on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
