So it is a natural minor that becomes harmonic; anyway, American soundtracks (and especially trailers) are now inflated with the usual atmospheres.
It's not necessarily to talk about what I have done, but I have written a few pieces with 300 changes of atmosphere, which do not turn out predictable in the points where
one expects them, but there is nothing to be done; usually the phrase I hear is "too many rhythm changes, too many sounds, it should have been simpler", even a Dies Irae
I wrote, using electronic, acoustic, and symphonic sounds; I should "fix" it a bit, but it has its own coherence, as it actually reprises a theme from a piece belonging to the
same concept. It is obvious, of course, that I didn't write it properly, and I didn't claim to do so, but I think it can be well placed in the footsteps (but not predictable ones)
of the pieces one might listen to when dealing with certain soundtracks.
When I write that type of piece, I like to use sequences and arpeggios of synthesizer sounds, perhaps mixed with string parts, French horns, or soloists, and along with these
electric guitar parts; I repeat, these are not pieces with a defined and well-structured formal connotation, but if we want to call them collages, works in progress, that's how I feel like writing
when I make that type of music, and at least there I try to feel as free as possible, but without using the shortcuts that software provides, otherwise it is no longer inventiveness or an attempt
at invention, but a copy and paste.
Sooner or later I will let you hear it; years ago I let someone listen to only one part (cut even more, moreover, but I was told that I wrote it poorly, and the effect I wanted to give I obtained badly,
a thing I never said, moreover, and above all I did not draw inspiration from Subsonica as I was told, but from what I felt like doing, and I am not afraid (in this case) to say that I sought atmospheres that would catch the listener a bit by surprise, while remaining mindful that we are not talking about symphonies, or pieces written with a certain criterion, but for the pure pleasure of making music with a PC.
What you have proposed is not bad, especially for those breaks inserted in the middle of the "dramatic" part; I understood, and tell me if I'm wrong, that you wanted to re-propose in a certain sense the usual atmospheres, the usual sounds, but interspersed with ironic sparks, as if to say "you're tired of the same old story", do something alternative.
