Great Work ! . . . But

I don't mean to sound stupid or annoying, but how do you make these pieces of music.

MaestroRage responds:

hmmm, it's a long process to be honest. Composers tackle songs in two primary ways, they will either build chords first, the foundation before they build a melody, or build the melody and the foundation later. In my eyes both ways has it's strengths and weaknesses. For example in this case I built the melody first.

The chord way in my opinion allows you to make a piece that flows better as it all blends together easier, but as a consequence the song becomes a tad lame, sometimes losing it's power, it also has little room to pick up and start jumping around. I might be wrong but I always find making an action track much more difficult if I make the chords first.

The great musician who said this eludes me now, but he said "To orchestrate is to create, and this cannot be taught, but the art of orchestration can."

I can't tell you how I compose my art, only how I compose my music :)

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[_-={Wolven Shrine}=-_]

Lets take a look

Before 1:20 it sounded as if a wolf is crying out desperately for
(What I mainly think) a pack live beside.
And at 1:20 he may have found one and and the pack is for a large battle. At 1:52 they spot the enemies and charge at each other, the dramatic battle endures, then at 1:13 the wolf receives a fatal blow, cries in pain or for help then dies.
Great song tells a story in a way.

MaestroRage responds:

A well timed story OptimusWii. Well woven together with a tragic end to boot. I didn't quite use such a story to create the tune, but it fits just so damn well :(

Thank you for the review and story, i'm glad you liked it!
