Hello! I am a novice composer so I don't really know if you'll like what I can do - but hell, why not give it a shot? With a lot of feedback I may be able to come up with something you like.

Here's something I've made. I tried to capture an "epic" feel, I guess it's most suited as some kind of theme song.

well, im impressed, i think you would need a concept for the main melody if you want to make main music for mod. I thought about it but couldnt find an easy and appropriate prox. What did u use to create that ?

Thank you. And I used Sequel (http://www.sequel-music.net/), with MIDI recording.

nice job man.

Overstatement

www.youtube.com I don't care about quality or downloading as much as convenience for this sort of thing.

Hmz. it's got ups and downs.
Some instruments are good, but some transitions arent good.
It lacks an overall theme. Too much switching of styles/background instruments IMO.

Thank you, any particular transitions you don't like?

The first time of the violins,
the addition of slow strings to the fast piano (but gets better at the end),
the slow ending part is really different from the fast piano bit.

Is it the addition of strings or the change of chords you don't like?

Yes... I'm not too happy with the ending. I'm going to try to improve that.

It's perfect, I like how you build it up from the beginning and the ending is not bad at all, it it creates a nice ending to loop it! (Just make it loop immediatly aftr the endng, you'll hear it's perfect).

Could you give some portfolio perhaps?
And soem information on this song, like, how did you came up with it, how long did it take, would you be possible to create soem kind of theme that keep coming back (a real good example is the music from Medal of Honor Allied Assault and earlier, it has a particular tune that keeps coming back, it's magnificant).

Add me to Xfire, and Ill share some with you.

frvge said the most important flaws.
i like the beginning. it's epic, but not creepy enough, it doesn't convey the moot to sneak around and the suspense for the mercs not knowing when someone attacks out of the shadows.
do you know pandora tomorrow main theme and menu music? would be awesome if you could create something similar.
