As for title of this song, I was inspired by the name of the book from poet Khalil Ghibran.

I tried to mix melancholy part, with faster gradations.

In this work I put synth pads together with orchestra. It was quite challenging, because my previous attempts failed. I cannot say I am 100% satisfied, but I made a big step forward ( imho ). In the end I spend some time playing with details, spicing different parts of song up.



Tears and a smile

Hi

I am based in Prague, Czech republic and I produce orchestral music as my off-work hobby. I focus mainly on trailer music, music for movies, games, and advertisements. Genre varies from simple piano songs, over electronic to full orchestral songs.

This portal gives me the opportunity to get some feedback on my work.

Update 2015/2016: 
    You might be wondering, why so many of my songs disappeared and are no longer available? Reason behind this is, that despite I liked those songs and music ideas behind them, I did not like their technical quality - simply starting from selection of inappropriate virtual instruments or instrument libraries, lack of mixing skill and eventually inappropriate mastering or no mastering at all. Yes, it might surprise you, but as amateur composer, I am doing it all currently by myself. Putting some song to private stack was simply by listening to it and thinking: "i like that, but why the hell does it sound so terrible?".
BUT don't worry, I'm returning back to each of those songs and rewriting it from scratch, so they all will be back some day.
