Topic: A couple of instrumentals.

Hi all
I thought I would post these up been a while since I have smile
Just a bit of info on them.
Afghanistan Part2 follows Afghanistan but can be a stand alone piece.
The first part is "Letter home" followed by "RPG attack" then "Aftermath"

D.Day is as the name implies as about the build up of ships on the horizon on that momentous day that changed the world.
My Dad was there and it's a little bit of a tribute to him.

Re: A couple of instrumentals.

hi Tony. i've said it before and i'll say it again; you are a talented musician, writer and arranger. you should be writing scores for hollywood movies or tv dramas. these are two excellent compositions and i could almost see the scenes that would accompany them. fab.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: A couple of instrumentals.

Hi Phill sorry I took so long to reply to your good comment.
I've always a bit reluctant to post them up on Chordie as it's principally a guitar site.
So any comment is welcome.
Have a great Christmas and new year.

Thanks Peatle for taking the time to listen and comment.
have a great Christmas and new year to.

Re: A couple of instrumentals.

Magnificent work, Arkady ...excellent in fact. Ambient music (may I call yours that?) always stirs me, since my earlier days of following Tangerine Dream. My preferred way of listening to this is not as background music, but foreground music. Comfy chair, head back, eyes closed, and cranked up loud ... the total feel of the composition is all encompassing. Love your work, mate ... five stars!

Arkady
The D-Day tribute was mesmerizing !
How do you achieve that sound ?
Do you use a synthesizer or something ?  The music matches the battle for sure.
I agree with what  Jan said - ought to be a movie soundtrack for something.
Excellent stuff !!!

Hi Jim thanks for the good comment it's appreciated.
Mostly the sounds are created in an ap called Music Maker with the use external  guitar and keyboard when needed.
It's basically the use of FX and track mixing to create the final product.
LOL I've lost count of how much I bin when creating a piece.
Have a great Christmas and new year.
