Original Music Suite - Snowflight

[AndSimbaToo]

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it! And you are correct, I do use Sibelius for composition and sequencing...it seems to work well, but I'm unaware of most other software available to me for that purpose (lots of other programs that can sequence seem to do the notation part very unintuitively, as they're usually geared towards mixing and such). Do you think Sibelius is adequate as a sequencer?

[Cobalt Katze]

As a sequencer, no. It's great as a composing tool and for creating great-looking sheet music though.

As far as sequencing goes, I use Cakewalk SONAR which is quite intuative and makes a lot of sense to me. There's a ton of other ones out there though, some exclusively for Macs, some for both Win and Mac.

[Hathorym]

I currently use Finale 2007 for my compositions. While the sequencing certainly isn't as robust as I would like it to be, the functionality of the actual composition is something that I really enjoy working with. I've never actually played with Sibellius, so I can't give any sort of opinion on it - though if you have used both programs, I'd be interested on your take.

[Francis the Talking Mule]

Nicely done...the Forest song wouldn't sound out of place in a Final Fantasy game...very jaunty. Also, were you in any way inspired by the work of a Japanese composer named Jo Hisaishi? A couple of parts of the Outskirts tracks made me think of his work (he usually composes film soundtracks).

[Cobalt Katze]

I absolutely love Joe Hisaishi's music There was definately some inspiration there, as well as Final Fantasy.

Thanks!

I am in awe... Can't even type...

Wonderful music, CK! I'm listening to your entire reel right now!

very nice work cobalt, great settings in tone. Looking forward to taking another listen at home with some headphones instead of my simple speakers here at work.

[Cobalt Katze]

Very nice stuff! I finally got a chance to sit down and listen to the whole suite. It captures the feel of a journey exquisitely, and is an excellent set to listen to while exploring parts of Kojan.
