[Lunatique]

Some WIP music crap. Just some very short clips to get the idea down before I forget them--kinda like a sketch.

[url=http://www.ethereality.info/ethereality_website/music/Lunatique%20-%20Invasion%20(unfinished).mp3]Invasion (unfinished)[/url] - This is an orchestral piece depicting a battle scene in a fantasy story. My attempt at orchestral score.

Welcome to Delphie-16 spacestation (unfinished)[/url]
This is essentially futuristic elevator music. When you dock the Delphie-16 Spacestation, an announcer will greet you with a prerecorded message, welcoming you to the spacestation, then give you some basic information about the station itself. This is the music that plays in the background during the announcement..

In the sci-fi stories I write, the future is an optimistic one where mankind has colonized various star systems, planets, and moons. In that future, there are many spacecities, spaceports, and spacestations orbiting around. Spacecities are basically cities built in outerspace, large enough for a local government. Spaceports are smaller, about the size of a town, with commerce and entertainment as the main focus. Spacestations are the smallest, with the larger ones being the size of a giant shopping malls--containing retail stores, medical services, parking garages, motels, and refueling stations. The smallest spacestations are no bigger than a refueling station, medical clinic, and a convenient store.

What You Don't Know (unfinished)[/url]
For this track, I envisioned a scene where someone has become suspicious of a loved one (could be a lover or a family member). That suspicion leads to the person one day deciding to follow the suspicious party from a distance, to find answers to that suspicion. The pursuit starts out in the suburbs, then into the city. At the end of the track (climax), we find out just what dark secret is discovered (maybe the lover is having an affair, or maybe the daughter is a prostitute). You only hear a solo cello right now, but later on in the track, I'll be adding other solo string instruments to play countermelodies and harmonies. The percussion will also get more complex as well, with a bit of synthy bleeps and squelches here and there for the mysterious ambiance.

Easy Breezy Solitude (unfinished)[/url]
With this track, I was remembering back to my lonewolf days (before getting married), just driving down the street on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I was a total lonewolf, going places and doing things alone, and I loved it. But being married is awesome though.

added another WIP track.

Nice, I like the spacestation track, in the 'Easy Breezy' the loop transition was noticeable so maybe smooth it out a bit.

[[Shizo]]

Sweet dude, they all sound nice!

However, all of your songs have bass like "bzz, bzz" instead of "BOOM!!1 BOOM!!!"
I know it's not the kind of style you're after, but it would be interesting if you made a lil test song to see if you can put as much bass in it as possible LOL.

Hey Lunaw00t. :D Nice to see you posting some tracks, hehe.

The piano and cello piece, "What You Don't Know" is my favorite of the bunch, I like how that one is going. Have you listened to any of the Silent Hill series music by Akira Yamaoka? This track reminds me of some of it. :D

nice stuff overall. \m/

These are really good Lunatique. Keep it up!

pb - it's just a snipped looped once on purpose or else it's too short. It won't be like that when finished.

Shizo - it's probably a matter of taste. I can't standing ridiculous booming basses that serve no purpose in the composition other than to be "cool."

Hamster - Thanks! Yeah, I've heard the Silent Hill stuff. I like the ambient/abstract soundscape stuff more than his melodic stuff though.

I was thinking along the lines of tragedy/drama like Mystic River, Magnolia..etc, or maybe a thriller like Unfaithful.

Nilwort - Thank you!

I somehow missed the Delphie-16 track before. I like that one a lot. The strings work well. It's worth finishing. Don't let it get too jungly, though.
