Two soundtrack pieces

Post by jeanette_c »

Hey hey, it's two for the price of one today. :)
First here is Fog and white roses:

OGG version:

A little piece of incidental music I wrote for the telling of a fairytale (the Chinese nightingale).
And here is sea of pain:

OGG version:

This soundtrack-like piece I wrote on a really bad day to get the sadness out of my system. This one is almost entirely done in Yoshimi, with a very subtle layer of VPO3 strings in LinuxSampler.
Both pieces are quite different, in that they are straightforward and painted in broad strokes. Raw emotion rather than involved polyphony.
I hope you enjoy them.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

I put on "Fog" and started to read the Guardian. It fitted the my sad mood totally -- reading of the hatred of immigrants, war "everywhere", consumerism robbing this planet of life.

It also has a 70s mood that I like a lot. So I am sad and happy. :)

Then we got "Sea of pain". This is a brilliant composition!!! Carpenter, right? :)

I like this more raw style. You are a very very very talented composer, and sound maker, but this time I think you focused on something else, that raw feeling, and I can hear it.

Life sucks sometimes. But tomorrow might be better.

Thanks for sharing @jeanette_c. You made my evening a bit better, at least! :)

Hi @oscillator , thanks for your very kind feedback. Hm, I didn't think of Carpenter at all, but I can see where you're coming from. Yes, that day, when I wrote Sea of Pain, was unbarable. But it passed and "tomorrow did look better".

Raw emotion is good: more Tchaikovsky, less 20th century brainy classical music :mrgreen:
Gorgeous pieces, even if a sad mood was what led you that place. I hope you're feeling better now!

These are both very well done. Powerful emotions, especially the second one.

Sea of pain is great at creating atmosphere with so little arrangement. Very nice synth work!

Fog and white roses is a nice and moving composition. For being a symphonic piece played by a computer, this is not an easy feat to achieve!

Hi @Basslint , thanks for the nice comments. There are lovely electronic and sampled sound colours available, but I'm always surprised at what the VPO can achieve. I did play the piece though, with some quantisation maybe. I don't write scores. that would be a horendous amount of work and a real feat to get it to sound so alive.
