Just wanted to start my stay here with this new song that I composed under the influence of our amazing artist Mike... I've ever loved his instrumentals so I decided to make this 18 minutes long song, all by myself. Yes, 18 minutes long... 6 months of work and tons of fun! Hope you will have the patience and maybe you like "Escape to Jupiter": "Escape to Jupiter" song link -------------- "Per aspera ad Astra" Back to top

Ginger Daddy Group: Members Posts: 401 Joined: April 2002 Posted: April 25 2011, 16:59 Hi, I agree with the comment about the reverb on the piano at the start, it needs a bit more to fit in with the other 'reverb heavy' instruments. Anyway, I really like it so far (just a few minutes in). Will pop back and comment when I've fully listened and digested... but that will probably be later in the week (sorry!. Cheers, Terry. Btw, are you the Corrado Rossi that was on Chillout World? If so... HI! -------------- http://purplerhapsody.co.uk - no words, just emotions Back to top

HR lover Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Sep. 2010 Posted: April 26 2011, 03:45 Great song, the beginning sounds like a cross between Amarok and Tres Lunas to me. You should be one of today's best selling musicians! How did you make it? What software have you used? -------------- Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. Back to top

Redman Group: Members Posts: 4 Joined: April 2011 Posted: April 26 2011, 12:10 Hey guys, thanks so much for your response: didn't think to receive such a quick and interesting comments... - The reverb on the Piano? Will think about that, even if I like this "presence" of the Piano as lead instrument; but probably with a bit of more reverb it could sound more natural... - @Ginger: sure, it's me! It has been a great time... maybe do you know some news about the site and Kopi? - @HR: I used Cubase with Hypersonic2, EW Symphonic Orchestra Gold, NI Atmosphere, Stylus RMX and The Grand2 (now I have EW Pianos, but probably I will keep The Grand2 for this kind of song) And guys what do you think of the last section with that particular rhythmical structure (8/4-8/4-8/4-7/4)? Thanks again to everyone! -------------- "Per aspera ad Astra" Back to top

ex member 178 Group: Members Posts: 251 Joined: Oct. 2010 Posted: June 05 2011, 16:32 Wow! A truly exceptional piece of music... so many changes of direction which is very Mike Oldfield in it's feel. Glad I took the time to listen all the way through. I can tell it's been a labour of love this composition and great finale'. Do I detect some tubular bells at the end!!?? Back to top

Ginger Daddy Group: Members Posts: 401 Joined: April 2002 Posted: June 06 2011, 11:44 Quietman's response made me go back and listen to this again as I realised I'd only listened to it the once. It really is a masterpiece. Really good job Corrado. As for the 'missing beat' time signatures... I love bits of music that pull it off without sounding weird although I find them hard to write. I did a 14/16 piece once, and a 5/4 bit... really hard to program into the sequencer!!! Your orchestration around the 5:40 mark is excellent too. As for Kopi and the ChilloutWorld site, I've got no idea what happened... the site started to be used a lot by people who were quite selfish and a large number of spammers appeared too. Nobody seemed to be able to keep on top of the spammers and I eventually just gave up and stopped visiting It's a shame because it really was a good site for instrumental musicians.
