Favorite classical pieces

Well i did the vivaldi stuff even though wavels has never been back lol
I thought it sounded like a good tune to rip up so i did.
This classical piece has got the full electronic natmoon treatment.
Used virtual classical instruments as well as drums and synth lines and sounds that i made up meself.

Sounds a bit weird but i still liked it.
Maybe i will work on it more in the future sometime but i have had enough of it for the minute.

Enjoy another free weird track to listen to when you are bored,stoned or want something different

OK here you go wavels.
Not really my thing and after 5 hours of doing it i have had enough
Anyway my head and ears are aching now so i uploaded it to one of my many fake name accounts as its a cover and i cant upload it to any account that i am not prepared to have deleted at a moments notice.

I tried to combine some classical elements with some 60s doors style organ sounds and some new electronica bass backing tones.
Drums are made using an orchestral drum palette and a basic drum synth.
Electric distortion guitar may not be so good,but after so many listens i can no longer judge it properly.

Took ages to get the panned element right to try to make it sound more like it was really being played by a band instead of me in my bedroom.
EQ was done with pc after i rendered it.

Hope you appreciate the effort even if its not to your liking

Sorry for my disappearance from this thread but I did not have the time necessary to sit and listen with serious intent.....

Wowee, you are quite talented nat, you did a great job, I was afraid that you would trample or otherwise obscure the beautiful melody with too much rhythmic background....Instead you actually accentuated this sublime melody with very creative and lush, suitable ornamentation in the background!!!!

I have played this for, and shared it with some of my friends and they all love it.
Beautiful!!!GREAT work!!!

Thanks for your effort!

I must admit to being MOST pleasantly surprised, if not blown away!!!!!
WOW!



Wowee, you have boatloads of talent Nat!

Yeah man thanks for the kind comments.

Was a difficult thing for me to do as i had never listened to Frank Zappa before then and this is not my usual style of music.
I tried to keep it real and not clutter it to much,sounds like i succeeded from your review.

I thought the 60s organ sounds helped to make it warm and real,i tried to achieve the effect that it was really being played by a group instead of just me.
I used light touches on the drum sounds by limiting the velocity and speed of the strikes in the sequencer to try to achieve the sound effect of a real drummer as well with the use of the cymbals and hi hats.

Maybe one day i will get a job making music until then i will keep making music for as long as i can for fun and achievement and listening pleasure.
Thank your friends for having a listen as well and thank you for the great review,i know you have a lot going on right now so i appreciate that and i am very glad that you liked it

For me, most anything from Igor Stravinsky, Fredrick Chopin and Nicolo Paganini. Especially Paganini's 24 Caprice's, good stuff ....

I definitely agree with Wavels re: the discussion from earlier in this thread. I think that Classical music should remain in its proper context- covering it on a synthesizer is just silly and adds nothing. What really bothers me about this is Tiesto and his bunch turning Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' into a trance cover version. It doesn't even work as a trance track, and is totally an abomination for classical music fans.

Anyways, I like Bach a lot, Mahler, Prokofiev, Brahms, later Beethoven

Yeah but just because your a die hard classical fan you also have to realize that you have never even heard Bach, Mahler, Prokofiev, Brahms or Beethoven only the modern day orchestras version of their works.
Saying that these guys work is an abomination just shows you to be a narrow minded snob.
Bach and Beethoven would not have been impressed with your single minded prejudiced attitude

Ouch! I really don't think you're on the right track at all. Do you really think Beethoven would want to hear his symphonies arranged by some amateur on a Radio Shack synthesizer? He'd probably like them the way they were originally written. And don't give me the line that I'm not REALLY hearing Mahler's 1st Symphony when I listen to a recording- the instruments that are playing the music haven't changed in centuries, and many of the stringed instruments being played by professional musicians probably date back to a period contemporary with Beethoven's life. Besides, there's this field called MUSICOLOGY, not to mention these things called SCORES AND MANUSCRIPTS so nothing is changing with contemporary performances except maybe our A is 440 instead of 450, and maybe tempos differ, but what's the matter with some interpretation?
You're barking up the wrong tree here. I just like classical music played on the instruments for which it was written, instead of some crap cover version.
