[Music] Symphony No. 1 in D Minor

[haloOfTheSun]

So, I know some of you have already heard this, but now that Silver has it hosted, I can link to it with those fancy mp3 tags.

IMO, this is the best thing I've written, and one day, probably a few years from now, I'll have a live recording of it. Until then, you'll have to settle for this.

NOTE: I've just recently listened to this through my computer speakers and must say it sounded 10 times worse than through headphones. I recommend listening with headphones if you can.

I. Overture ~ Misterioso

I'm trying to listen to it, but it's taking forever to load.

The first half of the overture sounds :O though


edit: I wish I could write symphonies.
I just don't think in movements, I think in short sections, like verse chorus preverse interlude etc... =\

I just finished listening to the second movement. It's awesome. I should take that second movement and put it in my morrowind audio folder so I can listen to it while I explore! Because it's perfect for that!

Awesome so far.

Thank you very much. I'm re-recording though. Apparently I've been using Garritan wrong,which would explain why some of the instruments are so weak sounding (brass in particular). 

[Moss.]

fuck you it's too good 

[haloOfTheSun]

I say that to myself about your stuff.  If we combined to become one super-composer we'd be UNSTOPPABLE! 

[Moss.]

AND ALSO ONE SUPER-MODERATOR AMIRITE LOL

Heard/Hearing the first part, great job Halo <3

[haloOfTheSun]

Re-recordings are complete, and are now up. The brass are much stronger and the woodwinds are a bit higher quality. If I had another gig of RAM then I could've done some really nice strings, but oh well.

And thanks again to Silver for going through the trouble of hosting this and then uploading the re-recordings like a day later.  <3

It's really quite profound that someone could make such touching, insightful music without real instruments. Truly beautiful Halo.
