Something I wrote a couple of hours ago, not finished by far but i won't have time soon to write so i figured i'd share it now. The legato patch of the celli is doing whatever it wants tbf (a shit load of hall effect on delay too), hardly following the notes i write lol.. but i want the leading melody to be on celli so i guess i have to deal with that. The ending is quite promising if developed I think.

PS: The goal by showing unfinished work remains the same: i want to hear advice in the making, so i know what to stress on, what sounds weird, etc. to the unbiased listener.

Nikolay Kirov - Emotional/Uplifting Celli (sample)

Something pretty weird I wrote a couple of hours ago. Choir entry at 30 s. Distortion and clean el. guitars at 49 s.
Yeah.. I'd probably like to make something more modern but.. nah... "conventional" music is boring :D

PS: Still experimenting a lot with composition (started off about 8 months ago). Don't plan to limit myself to a particular genre - it's not really fun to compose if I follow a definite structure.

Nikolay Kirov - Strings & Rock

Another song that I wrote several months ago but never got around to fix it (I still think it can be improved a lot but I have no time to do that). I wanted to make sections of the song like a little story - e.g. how at around 0:55 s there is a silence at sunset. Then the darkness of the night would come with the "hauling" sounds of the wolf at 1:15 s, represented by the high-pitched bassoon and the alto soloist.

Cover Art by Hannu-Pekka Peuranen.

PS: Definitely not my proudest orchestration. Wrote it about 7 months into my hobby composition endeavours. Unmixed and Unmastered.

Nikolay Kirov - The Wolf in the Dark

A more 'peaceful' fantasy track I wrote recently. The plan was to use this as an intro to a much longer piece of many more melodic and rhythmic parts but I can't seem to find the time and nerves to finish it. Well, if even only one person genuinely enjoys it, I guess that'd be pretty much all I'm trying to achieve.

Nikolay Kirov - Elvish Passage

PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at Safran/Onera. As a hobby, I compose orchestral music of various genres in my limited free time. So far I've written music in mostly the medieval, classical, emotional, uplifting, ambient, folk metal and epic genres. Still learning a lot by experimenting with anything that i feel like.
