Sand Castle Suite Op. 11 by zeroAcademy 10 months ago
thank you, good music on your page too.
"War Game Suite" Op. 17 by zeroAcademy 10 months ago
well. thank you all; so many good things smiley

@ kristyjo: quote: "it sounds more like the background of a movie or well-made video game"

you catched it man; it is exactly what was conceived for, as title says; an intro for last generation war video games.

Initial woodwinds part is done with bass clarinet followed by bassoon and flute. Than, in second movement the unison by english horn and cello solo, followed by strings and a tenor voice on male choirs.

About strings, may be they are not convincing and timbres are confused, especially on higher parts in last movement because i doubled them (lush and half-trillo strings together) trying to give out a sensation of "tremor", reflecting the sense of tension created by war.

Prishtina by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks guys smiley
Yes Ananga, what I tried to give out was the idea of two different contemporary worlds..
one represents the reality in the place, and the other represents the superficial routine of the rest of the world, as it happened..

Academy Suite Op. 5 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks.
No, no segue... When i was in the ending, after all that repeating and shifts, i felt nice to close in such a suspended way.
Anyway in a compilation it would be close to another track, even if probably with a totally different style of music, with no silence in the middle, as i do practically always.
Some sounds of Korg 01 were a bit fake, even if not bad, compared to actual samples.. I have to convert most of my tracks with new sounds, as the ones used in War Game Suite Op. 17, the most actual thing i did.
Sand Castle Suite Op. 11 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Tnx Maestro. smiley
Nuvole (Clouds) by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Honoured smiley
2000 Suite op. 4 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks. You right.
I always repeat myself I do too much things together or for too much time..
When I realized I was trapped in the shifting cage, the piece was ready to an end, so I left it.

The chronological order of my classical tunes starts around '95 until Op. 17 done in 2006; this was done in 90s and, during years, I hope I lost a bit that tendence.
Fireplace by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
True. Crash cymbals on 01w were not violent at all.
Yes, the guitar is keyboard played, as the rest.
The very end was not intended to fade out completely but to suspend in reverb.
Anyway, thanks.
Ballerina by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Grazie.
al contrario: avrei tanto voluto una chitarra vera, come del resto per tutti gli altri strumenti che uso, vorrei fossero quelli veri, ma mi sono sempre dovuto accontentare dei synth che ho avuto.
Più che altro a distanza di una decina di anni da quando sono stati fatti, dovrei dedicarmi a ricampionare i miei brani, magari implementandoli con cose attuali, ma sono più di 200 e io sono pigrissimo.

Thank you all.
I Camel smiley erano e sono tutt'ora bravissimi.

Festival Suite Op. 2 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks.
You right;
I just used 'suite' term in every classical title 'cause in Italy it's easier for copyright by CD, with no need of the whole printed score.
Total Dance by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thank you very much and thanx to Illumination Radio for the confidence in hosting a long track like this.
White Wolf Suite Op. 12 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks a lot. smiley
Korg rulez! Triton and/or Karma model actually are the best keyboards ever made, i think.
01W model have been a great keyboard made in early '90s as a direct evolution of mythical T series, and both had great samples (a bit too high in frequencies, regarding strings)...
But now Korg keyboards are much more cool and powerful (and expansive too smiley )
Anyway, i always say myself i have to resample all tracks with GPO, because it's a pure synphonic library and sounds more realistic..
One of these days..
Arcadia Suite Op. 1 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks guys, glad that You like it. smiley
Arcadia Suite Op. 1 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
tnx dragon.
Canyon Suite Op. 9 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
He he, thanks. Games music composition is cool..
The War Game Suite Op.17, more than this, was born oriented to that (the name refers to it also, as a possible video game soundtrack).
Carnival Suite Op. 10 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Glad for you in your part of the planet adsl runs so fast, but in Italy still costs too much to have an adsl over 2/4 Mb and its not guaranteed.
So the point is not how iComp can deliver files, but how users can download them, and i consider it means emarginating people if i upload files downloadable only at high rates.
In fact, as i said, for me it's impossible to hear your tunes if not waiting and waiting and waiting...
Carnival Suite Op. 10 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks.
After a lot of tests, i found this is the best compromise between chance to listen almost all parts with low loading time:
mp3, 44,1 Khz, quality: high, 64 Kbps, mono.
The result is quiet acceptable and can compress 5 minutes of music in 1 Mb.
Of course there's a loss in medium/high frequencies, but the whole sound, especially on good speakers, i think is quiet good for websites use or flash, and yes, it assumes this retro mood smiley
5/4 Riff by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thank you all guys smiley
Solaris by MaciekDobrowolski 1 year ago
very evocative.
"War Game Suite" Op. 17 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Tnx all. smiley
"War Game Suite" Op. 17 by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
I considered that GPO & EP sounds deserved an AAC 128 Kbps version that rends justice to original global sound.

Enjoy.
Sunrise In The Woods by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thank you very much.
You know what?
I found it dangerous in my iPod when driving.. 'cause I was falling asleep..
Take care please smiley
Sunrise In The Woods by zeroAcademy 1 year ago

Trekking Through The Hills (v1) by Tobz 1 year ago
these are fake sounds.. much more than GPO.
Stonecrasher by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Honestly..
I consider him a genious, as guitarist and composer (Frank Gambale school), and overall is a good guy.
I truly hope he will be famous in next years.
Isole by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Of course, as everyone of us, i suppose...
the difference is i'm the ignorant part of it. smiley
Total Dance by zeroAcademy 1 year ago

BimboBluesBase by zeroAcademy 1 year ago
Thanks You all.
I've been asked for the grid of this tune.

Here it is (* means 2 quarters each chord):

Bbm7/4 | F7/5+ | Bbm7 | *B7/Db *Db7 | Gb7 | *F7/9/5+ *F7/9- | Bbm7 | *F7/5+ | *F7

(repeat all, then chorus)

Gb7 | *Fm7 *Bbm7 | Ebm7 | *Fm7 *Bbm7 | E7 | *Gb *Ab | Bbm7 | *F7/5+ | *F7 (repeat all)

A 128 Kbps mp3 of this base (4.7 Mb) is available here:

Enjoy.
