Toward the end, this actually reminds me of many of my own works (but without the icky screeching and dissonance).

It actually reminds me of two pieces of John Williams' music - where the tripod comes out of the ground in 'War of the Worlds' and the sequence in Indy 4 where they activate the counterlevel to enter the temple near the climax. It also had sprinklings that reminded me of my recent 'The Old Empty Barn' and a bit of Thunderbirds and a hint of Disney's Dinosaur 1998 showreel. (Yes, I really did think of all that as I was listening to it, aside from Godzilla of course).

I thought of dinosaurs (though not from any specific media item, except for maybe that thing from Fantasia involving The Rite of Spring) too. But I read BlueBerry's commentary before listening to the big booming brass parts, so my mind was clouded with prejudice.

Yeah, if you have the 'Dinosaur' 2-disc DVD set, go to the showreel section and watch the two reels, you'll see what I mean.

First part you pretty much got bang on :P That kind of pushing driving rythm I stole from WotW for this. Just suited it so well I thought! Not seen the other movies, be interesting to see what you mean :)

And heh :P I've never actually seen Godzilla, I just had the image of a big dinosaur smashing things up in an epic manner :)

Whee! My John Williams obsession has finally given me something useful in return! *high fives* It's a decent piece, and yet your own :) The track from Indy sounds very similar to the WotW piece. And when I meant Godzilla, I didn't mean the movie, just the mental image too for me :P

The little bits of the (what I think might be) trumpet at 0:43 seems to be a little out of time, when it tries to hit the offbeat =/

Otherwise, I really liked this piece. Curious as to how you made it, though o.0

*nods* It is deliberate, the idea is to convey the stamping of the dragon. Like a 'Kerrr-LUMP' sound crashing down on a car or something. It could do with some tightening I agree ^^

I made it using my sequencing software! I always like creating these things as it's not like you can lay down a track for the whole sequence and spur things off it; what I usually do is come up with a story idea in my mind, think of what instruments would be associated with them, then what architectures / ideas etc fit those instruments and the scene. Mostly this involves recalling scenes from movies or ideas I have seen before and trying to string them all together. Finally I input them into the sequencer and fiddle around until I am happy, this usually takes a few interations.

Glad you enjoy, thanks for the q's! :)

oooooooooooohhhh awesome =D

What software? =D

nvm XD I just looked down at another comment you made =P

What software do you use, Blueberry?

A rather dated piece of sequencing software now, Logic Platinum 5.5 Pro for the PC, with Edirol Orchestra for the samples and a few other random VST's for their sound.

Hey, you say "rather dated" yet the sound it produces is excellent!

You've won me over as a stalker. Um, sorry.... watcher!

*blink* *blink*

There's sadness behind the destruction?

*scratches his head*

Those little creatures called... hy00mans or something? Nice and soft on the outside, crunchy in the middle!

More seriously -- this piece is wonderful. Triumphant, and strong, and powerful.

haha :P yes very crunchy (with a hint of gooey)!

Thanks dude :o)

The sweeping, melodic moments are quite lovely in the beginning, and I enjoy the chord progression.

thanks! I'm hoping to do more orchestral stuff, I like those sweeping bits, indeed I am trying to steal as much of John Williams as I can

Indeed, the skills of "The Maestro" are certainly something to aspire to. But don't neglect doing your own thing too, mate!

Har of course! Badgers know best ;)

hehe sounds like somethin i herd in a videogame but il have to say its very well done i give it two paws up :3

hey thanks dude :o) and heh yeah it does a bit
