Hey, I just wanted to ask you if you've got any experience with the VSL special editions? They're for once running a student discount so I was thinking of buying SE volume one (the one with all common instruments, basic articulations). Is it well worth its money?
this is the one in question: http://www.vsl.co.at/en/211/261/2064/2067/1751.htm |
Yes!! I recommend VSL Special Editions all the time to people looking for a great entry-level library. It's awesome, comprehensive, and very flexible.

Thank you for your kind words! I recall nearly replying to this comment sometime, but I clearly forgot. :P
If you want, you can check out my Newgrounds page - it's where I usually post music nowadays, and the stuff on there is a bit more high-quality: http://descara.newgrounds.com/audio/ |
I must have forgotten to reply to this. Thank you for the link! I really did enjoy the music a lot!

Not much of a UG-goer nowadays (like I ever was) but I just had to say your sig almost made me spit my tea out. |
Haha, nice. Glad to please at Xiaoxi's expense.

Neat! Sätter igång och meckar ihop det. Kan ta ett tag känns det som, vissa har bara uppladdat otaggade .wav's : Ska jag posta i originaltråden eller starta en "31 day 1 song May challenge - compilation"-tråd el. dylikt tycker du? |
Det är ett riktigt pilljobb ibland, riktigt schysst att du gör det. Posta gärna i originaltråden och sen kan du starta en ny tråd med det namnet du föreslog, blir perfa!

madbasslover wrote on Jun 12th, 2011 4:03pmSo, I downloaded the May challenge album and then logged off. I listened up to your track and have now gone to all the trouble of re-opening my browser and logging back in just to tell you that your track is brilliant. Captured the mood it was going for perfectly, especially at the end. quote |

Hey, I posted in the 31-day challenge thread but thought I might drop by here too. Just wanted to say if you don't feel like organising all submissions I'd be happy to help out! Only thing I'd need is any submissions sent to you via PM, obviously.
... och nu inser jag att det är nästan som i helgen när jag satt och pratade med en kille som kom upp med några schweizare i en timme eller så innan vi insåg att vi båda pratade svenska. Nåja! |
If you're still up for it, sure! I haven't gotten any PMs for some reason so it's all in the thread.
Haha, gjort samma sak många gånger, särskilt på universitetet.

Xiaoxi wrote on May 19th, 2011 5:58amHey sorry for the delay on your questions but here they are:
sul pont/tasto to norm: can be switched fairly quickly, but usually we'd switch at a down bow where we can readjust the position. It can be done like the way you're talking about but it'd feel a bit awkward and less controlled. In the tempo you have either way is feasible.
Regarding the harmony, it's not that a few of the choices were boring. Rather, they are unconvincing due to inconsistent voice leading. m.15-16, a few unprepared ic1 dissonances between vln2, vla, and vlc. m.34-36, the voicings of the harmonies aren't very smooth or convincing, starting with the D-7b5 in m. 35. The direct modulation right after this is also almost too out of place. There are a few other places with similar problems but you get the idea. quote |

Xiaoxi wrote on May 7th, 2011 4:29am(continued)
I'd also like to hear a more functionality within the quartet. The first violin seems to be carrying a foreground melody the entire time, but the way you have this set up texturally could have so much more contrapuntal possibilities, which can be extremely effective in a slow piece. You should also learn more about timbral possibilities of the string instruments (eg, playing sul G on violin, etc). That kind of consideration can have a huge impact on the tone of your piece, even with the same notes! quote |
Xiaoxi wrote on May 7th, 2011 4:28amIt's a very good piece. Orchestration wise it's all very feasible and effective. However, this feels more like something that would be appropriate as a film score than a concert composition. I get that you are trying to create an atmosphere but there should also be focus on motivic development. There are some moments in here that could be thematic, or cellular, and it would be nice to hear those get restated in different contexts. The harmonies are very interesting at times but there are also many places where I'd make different harmonic choices. I don't know what your intentions are, but the way you treat some of the voice leading would be considered problematic in strict functional harmony. If that wasn't your concern, then don't worry about it. quote |

Glad to hear you like classical!
Awesome tracks you got there for that matter. Is that your singing on some of them? |
I sang on "Thorns" and did some narrative parts on "Imminent Cosmic Cataclysm". The covers were done by my old singer Tony Noyes and the Wrath of Wolves material was sung by Joe Lawson.
