Hi to all.

I became in love with classical music first time a few years ago when i heard certain orchestra playing Dvorak's "New World Symphony" live. It awoke some new aspect on music in me back then... slowly i caught myself experimenting with it, and i made a few pieces using my PC .. when MOTS came out i was really amazed, listened to it million times a day, and i still think it's one of Mike's greatest works ever ...

So, now all of the sudden i wanted to share some of it with you people and hear what you thought of it. This particular orchestral piece was written just about the time when MOTS came out... it's not actually quite finished yet

Thank you for your comments.

A very dynamic song.
I liked the style and the usage of each orchestral part, specially the brass with the percussion.

Good work

Lots of changes in style throughout the 6 minutes. My favourite was also the timpani and percussion early on.

One difficulty that I have problems with is trying to play my MIDI keyboard so that it really sounds like it's a violin, cello, etc, etc and there are a couple of places where the orchestra sounds real and a couple of places where it sounds like a keyboard - no idea what to do about that but just thought I'd mention it.

What orchestra plug-in are you using?

Cheers,
Terry.

Thanks to all for reviews

I appreciate that very much. My favorite part is that brass+timpani also

I'm using Edirol orchestral plugin within FL Studio and M-Audio Oxygen61 keyboard - nothing fancy but it works just fine. I guess the sound of "realness" depends on the plugin you're using...
