Re: Forward in Slowly Evolving, PIANO-Themed INSTRUMENTAL CUES
Well done, Arttu!!!
I was also forwarded for this one I especially like the lift at 1:11. Very unexpected and the mood fits the brief just right!
Best of luck!

Re: Forward in Slowly Evolving, PIANO-Themed INSTRUMENTAL CUES
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback Mark! You're absolutely right about the piano on the intro and the outro. I'm really only starting out (done music professionally for a couple of years) and I've been on this path for some time to try and maximise and optimise everything, practically put everything on steroids. This is because I've been stressing out that my track would stand out and especially commercial music.
I have recently learned, that can, of course, be fun and somewhat useful in some cases, but for a piano tune like this or classical-sounding music in general, its not. Another thing I've learned just in the last few months is that when working with advertising music and audio branding, the clients usually don't want any steroids on their tunes, they want something that will sound good, set up a mood but DOES NOT JUMP OUT if it's not deliberately meant to do that. And this has led me thinking that maybe submissions here should be less loud and smoother to work more universally to get more forwards or eventually even actual deals?
As for the outro, I hardly have any time to finish my songs so the outro usually sufferers from that I think I should put a sign on my studio wall that says: remember the outro!!!!
Anyway, hope you're having a great weekend!
All the best,

A few of the notes jump at at me as being quite hard on the piano on the intro..there seems to be a thing for softer velocities but turned up louder these days..it builds really nicely though, I just wonder about the ending..seems a bit ambigious .
