David Sprouse Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 kiss of god (i just rerecorded this and it's short!) 1
Douglas Kirby Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 Nicely done David - that was very pleasant - I thought the length was fine. I thought the mix was excellent through my headphones.
Bajan Blue Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Like this David and I thought the mix was spot on What did you use for the violins / cello etc? Cool Nigel

I think it is more forceful. 17 hours ago, jack c. said: wonderful tones.jack c. jack, thanks for the great review! 2 hours ago, Bajan Blue said: Like this David and I thought the mix was spot on What did you use for the violins / cello etc? Cool Nigel Hi Nigel, thanks for listening. It's all VSL. I was hoping for antiphon with the opening chords, but it didn't quite make it.
Makke Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Lovely composition and devout moods. Pleasant orchestration and sounds. Good job.

PhonoBrainer Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 I think I heard this before? This mix has a lot of "tension" in it which makes for a good listen. Was that an organ or oboe that came in in the middle? Nice tone on that. I hope God had a breath mint. cheers, -Tom
David Sprouse Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 Tom, Yes this is one you've heard before. I remixed it, and it's a little more forceful. Thanks so much for taking the time out of your busy day to listen to my music. Stay well!
David Sprouse Posted July 18, 2021 Author Posted July 18, 2021 Wookie, I'm honored that you took the time out of your day to listen to my music. Thanks for the bump!
SUPAREELS Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 As usual I'm taken by the maths in this piece. I look forward to a longer set with a title like The Tortoise & the Hare, I believe your music could paint a fantasia kind of feel .. Just an idea .. ish. I continue to love your work because I wouldn't know where to start so I find it engaging and different ... in a good way. Thanks for the post David Stay safe Steve
mark skinner Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 David , I liked how massive the total mix was. It reminded me of a production I once heard while visiting my Grandmother. Giant cathedral , massive pipe organ , excellent string section. Besides the composition , you captured the room nicely . Nice and inspiring. mark
Lynn Wilson Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Your orchestration is brilliant, David. I love the mix for this song; it creates tension, then releases it, making this song breathe with life. What an imagination you have!
noynekker Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 David . . . I never know how to critique the "Classical" stuff . . . so, I'll just say I had a few listens, and enjoyed both of them. Sounds well orchestrated, and balanced . . . you've changed up and moved through the orchestra sections to make it interesting. You mention using VSL, and there are a few places where the strings get very intense, and I can hear the "digitality" of them . . . so wonder if you've ever experimented with any analogue, tube, or console emulator tricks to mitigate that ? I only ask, since I've noticed it in some of my compositions, and sometimes in Jerry Gerber's posts of his midi / digital symphonic projects. Regardless . . . I always like the projects you post here, you have quite a range of styles you're involved with.

Thanks for the post David Stay safe Steve Steve, virtually all my math teachers...highschool through college were musicians. I made this piece for you hopefully someday we'll have some frothy coffee together. :D:D 1

freddy j Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 This song has a lot of majesty and dark tones to it. I too am impressed with how we you have arranged and mixed this number, and the creativity behind it!
