Like a very lovely video game theme, but with lots of journeying through moods. I should listen to this piece some more to figure out more about shades of determination.

A whole orchestra can be quite overwhelming, can't it?! It takes some time to warm up to it and change certain habits a bit. But you've done some sweet composing for sure. I already expect that I keep some comments for the forum, because it may fit a few more entries. I hope, you'll get to read it and would want to.

I'm hearing some nice leads and ideas, but don't think the overall arrangement is very strong. Too much bass - padding - melody following chords, imo. More melodic interplay between instruments would have been nice and could have added a whole new dimension.

Powerful sound, but doesn't really develop into a strong theme.

Nice transitions, but for me it sounded a bit too much in terms of low end and perhaps too much variation.

Intro: 
All of a sudden during one of his live gigs
DJ Duckpower collapses on stage…

00:15 - His whole life and all the things he did and the choices he made flashes before him. DJ Duckpower meets Lord Yama and his heavenly assistants. DJ Duckpower pleads to Lord Yama to live again so he can clean up his act. Lord Yama teaches DJ Duckpower how he ought to behave if he wants to return to life.

03:14 - DJ Duckpower recovers from his fatal accident and wakes up to life again.

03:53 - DJ Duckpower stands up on the stage and grabs a microphone wanting to explain to everybody what just happened him…

04:13 - DJ Duckpower starts to very enthusiastically teach and preach to everybody in the crowd about his near death experience by spittin' rhymes over a beat!  He tries to convey his message in various ways.

07:26 - Hardly anyone in the crowd believes in DJ Duckpower's amazing story and start leaving the place not wanting to listen…Like they were all having a (N)Ear Deaf Experience… Only one person in the whole crowd applauded.
DJ Duckpower is not the slightest affected by all of this and is still very content and thrilled with the amazing experience he had… :)

08:08 - Happy ending outro flute…..or wait…since there's really no end and also no such thing as ”death” why should the track actually end like that? DJ Duckpower starts to contemplate the following: - It's impossible to subjectivly experience annihilation! :)

09:00 - Lighting up one more fatty… ;)

DJ DUCKPOWER'S NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE

Made using GHOST 0.3.6 for the KVR One Synth Challenge. Everything is done via synth, no samples or external modulation used.

This was a lot of fun to make as I used to spend a lot of time trying to make rock tracks using very old MIDI gear (like, SC-55 old) by manipulating them as much as I could. I went with a similar approach here.

Ghost in the mirror (OSC 164)

28 instances of GHOST in Reaper - An unfinished track, just didnt have enough time to commit to this project. 

Probably one of my favorite plugins of all time. Endless possibilities here with synthesis. Glad finally someone pulled of an FM serum. 
The synth has bugs, like loading states, inability to assign modulation and some other rare glitches but for the most part worked well. Looking forward to the development of this beast. It was a ton of fun playing with it.

Another entry for KVR's One Synth Challenge - finally an orchestral library (Spitfire's FREE BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover)!

Another Starry Night

schiing - Another Starry Night (with Spitfire's FREE BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover)

Here's something a bit different. The 'One synth challenge' this month was to use Spitfire Audio's free BBC symphony orchestra sample instrument to make a track. Gave it a shot. Full classical or film score or what ever.  What do you think?

Made in Ableton LIve 11 using Valhalla Vintage Verb, iZotrope's Neutron 3 and Ozone 9.

Fanfare I (OSC 165 BBC)

Made with one instance of Alchemy in Logic, played live for OSC 167. Tried to reproduce the sound i remember playing recitals as a kid in a large hall that was rented out at the time. I used a compressor to ensure no peaks and a channel eq with a gentle shelving cut to remove some low-end flutter I couldn't figure out how to tame with synthesis or Alchemy's built-in EQ. No other plugins. Fun synthesis challenge, combined with a compositional challenge.
