[SPAM] Orchestral

So, this is my final project from school, an 8 minute
orchestral piece.

It's a mockup (obviously), so there may be some parts that
sound fake, so bear with me. I was going to do a better mock
up, with better sounds, but frankly I dont want to invest
all the time in doing another mockup of an entire orchestra
right now... maybe someday later. For now, I just hope you
enjoy the piece.

Its pretty soft in the first half, so you might need to put
your volume up, but just beware, it gets FFF in the second
half.

Anyways, enjoy...

those drums in the begining sound a bit too dramatic for my
taste, but i like when they calm down and the flutes (?)
come in..very glass like with those string arangements..the
second part gets a bit too dramatic for my taste again. the
1st part is nice, not so fond of second though..but i
suppose you needed some variety.

Sorry, but I didn't much enjoy it.
...seems at times you were going for something like Fratres
by arvo part, or whatever. It just turns out to be a
hodge-podge of very bland ideas. It conjures no emotion from
me. I'm not the musician here, but I think you might agree
that the harmony is boring and the melody lacks...well, a
melody--or a melody of consequence. It's also evident that
you really don't have much of a "voice". Nothing in this
composition is "individualistic".

Nothing "sings", nothing is bright or colorful.

Sorry, but that is what I think.

Agreed about the flute part too.

The string arpeggios do seem Glass-like in their
introduction, but lack any development. Even Glass, with all
his repetition, will take his ideas through some kind of
relevant change that not only evoke an emotional response,
but also presents his "voice", which can be pleasant to hear
at times.

The title was enough for me to go "Oh.... no."
