    This

    Also, would it be possible to feather in the transition at 1:58 a little more?

    Sounds really good overall!

      Thanks for listening and joining me on this adventure!

      There is no post added to these tracks, these are live-performance songwriting demos, so it's unlikely that I will be adding any automation.

        Parts 3 and 4 are blocked out and started sequencing last night. Tying to make a little more space, memory wise, to squeeze in a horn line! Really like how Part 3 develops in particular, there are two string parts that alternate between contrary and parallel motion creating an interval pattern of octave, major third, minor third, perfect fifth, and then it reverses. Over that I think I play every 80s Alex Lifeson style guitar chord lol.

          Part 3 is done but I caught a summer flu! So, minor setback for a few days...

            Quick update -- suffered a minor setback, in that the MC-500 ate my floppy disk! So, I've had to rebuild the song from scratch! I've since worked out some improvements to the arrangement and also some redundancy/back up in case of another catastrophic failure. Lesson learned! But the piece is almost complete now and sounds better than ever!

                lol . . . were they out of 5 1/4 floppies? Those have better digital tone. :P

                  Okay, I'm in the thick of it now, putting the finishing touches on the demo. Here's the solo section from the fourth movement. More to come!

                    I like it. Still feel that the guitar is a tad buried though.

                      Here's the big finale for the song; it still needs the final synth parts but even without that it's suitably epic.

                        Thanks for listening. Still early days for the demo.

                          I like part five the best. I'm picturing a movie where the lead character has just suffered defeat at the hands of his enemy and is stony-faced driving down a dark road at night. Possibly with sunglasses on. :P

                                Very nice! Sweet voice samples & the synth sounds massive! Like the way it builds & the guitars come crashing in...oool lead swells at the end there too. Interested to see how it pans out...certainly has an EPIC start to it
