This music has been composed for the "Bleeding Fingers Contest" proposed by Hans Zimmer (Inception, The Dark Knight, The Thin Red Line, The Lion King...). The goal was to remix a track he has written specially for the contest.

The original track (https://soundcloud.com/bleeding-fingers/destinys-door-master-mix-48-24) is composed of two parts, I wanted to have four : a dim percussion introduction, a strong second part, a short respiration and a climax. Reorganizing the percussion part was then a must and was very inspiring ! The whole orchestra has come very naturally, juggling between thrilling violins and energizing trumpets. I've used an oboe and a harp for the respiration part to make a real difference with the two power parts. In the climax part I've changed the way the trumpets and the violins are answering each other to help the listener to perceive all the instruments.
Working with the vocal stem from the original track was amazing. By cutting, de-tuning and stretching it, I have managed to keep a musical link with HZ performance (I could not allow myself to use only the percussions !) and to add a dramatic mood in my composition.

I am really happy to participate to this contest, it is such an enriching experience to share, comment and compare with other contestants.

And don't be shy to download it : SoundCloud's compression destroys a bit of the punch of percussions :)
