[Music] Overture

Establishing themes and giving myself ideas for my biggest project yet... a ballet. I'll be more immersed in this project once I'm done writing nocturnes. The best part about this is that I have some friends into choreography so this might actually be created as a ballet. Lucky me.
So... feedback, criticisms, comments, rants, whatever. I'm aware that the start isn't very audible, but it's not that big a problem. You have volume buttons.

Man, don't you know you're supposed to write overtures last?

I actually haven't listened to this, I'm just saying. I'll listen later.

[pacdiggity]

I do know that. I'm just shit at doing things properly, and I thought doing it backwards would let me hammer some themes out.

[haloOfTheSun]

It's not like there's any right or wrong way, most people just find it easier to do the overture last so they can handle the themes better.

This is a bit strange for a modern ballet, because the music sounds antiquated. Perhaps that was your intention, though. It's a good start, but nothing really stood out to me as a strong theme, which can still be fixed. I'm assuming this is just a first draft or maybe even just a sketch.

[pacdiggity]

That does make sense. I just have trouble establishing themes in the first place, so I thought it would be easier to get that out of the way so I can expand them later on.

The idea was to play each theme at least once, and I think the most I did one was twice, which probably explains why nothing stood out to you. I could break it down and say where each theme begins and ends, but I guess it's not all that necessary at this moment.

Maybe I can use this as a starting point for the project, and once I'm done with everything else I'll rewrite it?

[haloOfTheSun]

I forgot to mention that the reason nothing stood out was likely because it's an overture and I don't know what comes next.

Nothing wrong with rewriting things; that's basically what a sketch is.

[pacdiggity]

Yeah. Thanks for pointing that out and giving me ideas. :3
