Actually it's not very new. I composed it around 5 years ago and started recording around 2,5 years ago. Now I mixed it just a couple of days ago...

The composition itself is called "Waterwaltz". It's quite long (over 7 minutes), so I edited out almost 3 minutes of the slowly developing intro (and a bit of the outro as well) from the mp3 file in order to keep just the middle section, where the main "action" takes place, so to speak.

Frankly I'm afraid that my long time affection towards Mike Oldfield's music shows in this track and perhaps too obviously so...
Let me know what do you think, okay?

Great arrangements of this song...but not exactly my type of music though! I like the earlier ones much better.

Thanks for letting us listen to your compositions Gulliver, please let us hear more!

Indeed great arrangements. Nice agressive vibe. First I had to think of the tv-works from Jan Hammer; only the last bit gets into Oldfield.

Thanks for listening and for your comments, guys!

Working on my next tune...

Btw, I forgot to mention that the sounds of purling water were taken from Kit Watkins sampling CD "Ambient Realms"!

Gulliver....I dig it! I can also hear the Oldfield influence, though it's not over done. I like the glokenspiel (sp?), if that's what it was (I have crummy PC speakers). The outro was also nice, though I get the feeling that this is where you edited out some of the time (?). I like the feel at that part of the song though.

Can you tell us about some of the instruments used? Sounds like a lot was involved in recording this.

Anyway, nice job!

Thanks Odyssian, I'm glad you liked it! I think that "glockenspiel" part was some "bells" sample from TS-10, don't remember its name though. Yes, I edited out almost 40 seconds of the outro as well...
Among synths my main instrument for this piece was Ensoniq MR-Rack. Also TS-10 (especially its ability to play ASR samples) was used quite a bit... And I gave a fair use to my both Yamaha guitars (acoustic and electric) of course.

That's great that you can play guitar. I actually bought an electric in hopes that I would find time to use it in some of my music. That was 5 years ago, and it still hasn't happened. ;-)

In order not to start a new thread I would post my new track right here...
It's almost in its complete form, for this mp3 copy I just faded it out a bit earlier than it goes in original.

O'TAHT (Fighting The Nonsense)

Waiting for feedback.

Very good stuff, great beats and melodies. Have you done all that on the computer or what? You have to release a CD soon

@ befrost: Well, yes I recorded it with a computer, though NO sequencing here!

All the guitars, keyboards and bass were played in real time. Only the drum loops were heavily edited (spliced, diced , etc.) of course.

Yeah, thats what I wanted to know.....if you played some real intsruments, or if you composed it with some program on the computer. Anyway, O'TAHT sounds really good and it would be nice to hear some more stuff in the future!

Hey Gulliver, what happened to your tune O'TAHT (Fighting The Nonsense)? I was about to listen to it once again but it was'nt there.

Hehe... Sorry befrost... And thanks for your interest to my humble work!

I removed it from the host's site. I won't keep files over there for too long... But I'll put it back (extra for you!

) tomorrow or during the weekend, if that's okay. I'll let you know when it's there so you'd be able to download it and keep that mp3 for yourself. (Though mind you, the album's version is longer and sounds better! ;D)
