Hi kids,

this is a project I am workin on. I had some tremendous collaboration from members of the "other" place, members here too.

DavidK-violins and Keyboards
Jimi2toes-drums
Mixmkr-guitar
Rawtunes-guitar
Joro-guitar

This is still a ways from being done, particularly the ending. Not really mixed yet, looking for any mix/eq/technical advice, I am not so good at that stuff.

This is an arrangement of an obscure classical piece by a composer named Christian Sinding/

Sinding suite for violin and rock band, mvmt. 1
 
This is EXCELLENT, period. The first part has a dramatic motion picture soundtrack feel to this. I brings images to mind through the music. Part two has operetic/sound stage feel to it - like a river dance kind of. Incredible energy expressed in the violin playing. Part three mellow guitar takes it out quietly and soothingly - maybe too short a section though compared to the rest <edit> never mind you say the ending is not complete yet..... The mixing is great, and special effects well done. As I said, excellent!
 
Great tune man.
Outstanding violin, great arrangment, reminds me of curved air.
really enjoyed this tune man, cant wait untill you finnish it.
Nice breaks, this is truly great prog.
congrats man :)
 
random thoughts:

the intro is too long, but I found a wildcard in it I could use in my own music.
the main song is pretty good. Isnt there a big group that makes music like this?
the playing, of course, is top notch.
I would have like to hear a song that built on the wildcard in the intro.

well done.

Good work!

I too see 'soundtrack' written all over this. Hard to place the exact form of cinema though, 'cuz the intro reminds me of 1850 and the meat of the song reminds me of... reminds me of... Yes. (The band)
 
That's beautiful. I especially liked the delicate sections, such as at 1:30. A touching performance.

Beautiful sounds. Tell everyone, nice playing, all around. Very well put together. I do equate some of it to Yes, as far as how it flows. Very nice. I personally think it sounds pretty well mixed. I can hear all parts pretty well. Nice tune, very nice.

SHUT UP!* I'm speechless. How can I call what I do homerecorded music when y'all do something like this! Is there going to be a series? Your violin sounds wondeful.

Are you talkin' 'bout this Sindig?

after listening to this a few more times, I am really liking it. Of course, I tried unsuccessfully for two hours this morning to rip of that wildcard but it was not coming together. YET. I'll still do something with it in the next day or two.
 
Wow, that was great! Segments reminded me of Yes, early Crimson, U.K. and even E.L.P. but without actually copying those bands. Nice!
 
Needs some contrapuntal figured bass action to counter the transsiberianness :D Not that I'm biased or anything ;)
 
Sounds great!
I like the keys at 3:13.
And I like the end too.
The guitars kinda remind me of the guitar at the beginning and end of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.
If you haven't heard the overture from Dream Theater's Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence, second disc, well you should. lol. :D
 
THanks fellers for listening :cool:

The intro is original, I wrote it. Make sure you send me plenty of royalty checks when you turn it into your big wildcard hit :p

Is there going to be a series?

Yes. This is only one third of this piece, there are two more movements. The intro is long on this because it is the intro to the entire piece which will take about 18 minutes.

Wanna add some? It definitely needs something down low. I tried some synth stuff but its not working. :(

Thanks again :)

I could take a crack at it if you can wait a few weeks, I'm not home until Jan. 8. Is there a score (I hope :o )?

Hmmm, Score?? Maybe I can dig up some piano version somewhere, I did this by ear. In real life, the piece really doesnt go much like this, this version is fairly abstract.

Interesting fact: I recorded the fast stuff with 3 strings ( violin has 4). Not nearly as impressive as it sounds: I broke a string yesterday and I am incredibly lazy. I thought about it for a second, and realized that the lowest string (G) is not used or needed for the entire tune!! Quite a coincidence, not many pieces are like that, especially one that has about 1000 notes in 2 minutes.

If you just have the changes during the fast part, that would be good.
