Marching Season - Original Garageband Composition

[3lderz]

only thing missing are the snares

[3lderz]

I am not kidding, this made me shiver. Almost near the experience where I am sitting on the football stadium bleachers watching the marching band perform this.

great work!!

[Anglerphilable]

[Kmanflyaway]

Genius

[michelchain]

Pretty good. Congrats!

[Atreju74]

Great music! It sounds epic, Hans Zimmer style. Would you allow me to use your music on YouTube Video projects? We plan to invent an internetTV project at school and it would be nice to get some great music tracks for these clips.

[slovensko2222]

Oh my god... This is so fucking amazing, dude. I can't create something at least good in garageband and you compose masterpiece like this... You are like another Beethoven!

[zds1396]

Holy shit, i wanna do this for the marching band feild show at my school

[XNozza]

Age of Empires? hahaha so many memories....

[superknife24]

dam, this makes me wanna buy the jam pack. apple should really use these to advertise their products

[frostblade808]

This could easily be put into any strong RPG game like World Of Warcraft or Rift.

[Zarren364]

brb, I'm gonna go wave the world.

[Kierpm96]

Listen; you need to make an album and sell it. This and your other garageband orchestral pieces are not just a little good, they are insane. You have got some serious skills right there

[TheMRM262]

were those choir voices I heard at 1:20?

[Kierpm96]

@TheMRM262 I think so. If you get all of the Boldt packs there is a choir. Make sure to donate to him though because he is awesome..

[Gotfish]

i noticed that some track volumes were raised in the middle of the song. how do you do that?

[nekokyuuketsuki]

Are the tuned drums part of a "jam pack"? The only way I can get my drums tuned is to have a bass track lined up with the drums.

[christophe323]

Where do you get your inspiration? I am 25 and can't even come close to this. This is absolutely amazing! Future Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, future award-winning film composer! This is grade a stuff!!

[XxZmoK3sxX]

you should give a tutorial about how to make stuff like this

[MusicalWolfe]

Thanks for sharing! This is amazing work!

[rl1993]

Sounds alot like songs from the Age of Empires Series, particularly I and II.

[nickeo47]

this shit is fucking ligit well bloody done WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePooPooHeaDZ]

i cant stop coming back to this song its just so good

[EZbakeROFLcakes]

diod you use any plugins or non apple instruments? this sounds awesome :)

[ThePooPooHeaDZ]

luv it

[MrRobh12]

thats amazing .. does the symphony orchestra pack work on OS 9??

[EasyLivingToGo]

i just got the symphony orchestra jam pack. do you have any tips on what to do with it?

[byrnesbs]

Comment on the instrumental I made on my home page. please

[music310lover]

This is awessomee:)

kinda reminds me of the narnia soundtrack:)

[9frankg]

Im blow away. P.S. you have a lot of time on your hands.

[ardel15]

@9frankg No, this is his busy schedule. Composing could be his future professional life, meaning he'll devote much of his time to making music. Someone could say you have a lot of time on your hands because of what you like to do often, but you wouldn't see it that way about yourself.

[kdawg12334]

how old are you?

[coolperson58946]

@kdawg12334  17

[kdawg12334]

@coolperson58946 dang im only 16 and i dont write symphonies and stuff like that..lol. i just stick to basics

[norwedgianawesomenes]

@coolperson58946 do you go to a spesific music college?

[coolperson58946]

@norwedgianawesomenes nope. still in high school. my only music class is my band period

[kdawg12334]

@coolperson58946 nice so am i. these compositions make me want to start reusing my garageband. haha. but i never could get jam packs for it though. so thats why i went on to other, costly programs. /:

[apatheticzealot]

I've listened to this and some of your other stuff. Excellent. You really need to buy yourself logic studio Pro though. The strings on garage band are passable (somewhat tinny and obviously sampled), but logic's samples are professional, superb and the libraries are extensive. You can import all your old GB stuff to Logic as well. The difference will be astounding.

[curtithird]

can you post a soundtrack download of all your best songs? PLEASE?!?!

[Turok4458]

This, is, AMAZING!

[Useregistred]

Hi, congratulations for the track, very good!

Do you used a keyboard to do this?

Bye.

[RkdKu]

This is almost good enough to join the Musical Hall of Fame.. Alongside the world's greatest composers.

[ilyas64]

Absolute Amazing. I wish that I have half Talent as you have.

[rider5ify]

how da hell is ppl doin dis wit garageband...not fair lol

[GikoTuttoFare]

Ma come Fai?

How you realized this song?

(excuse me for the bad English)

PLEASE ANSEWER ME!

[rider5ify]

this sounds so fuckn official omfg is this the jam pack??

[omgharajuku]

LOL it almost sounds like a song from super smash brothers!

[AsFunnyAsSmosh]

you should get your stuff published

[SuperFajar]

@AsFunnyAsSmosh jup! make an album and then you should release it! :D

[MrROTD]

this is professional grade guy

[MrROTD]

holy this is epic

[NarrowDesigns]

Your work reminds me slightly of some of Howard Shore's stuff. Seriously. And if you don't know who that is, he's the composer for all the Lord of the Rings music, which is also genius.

[Bestcanadianhunter]

Masterpiece. you have a great musical mind.

[Genralosity]

the intro, omg, lol i felt on the way to like a lion king heaven, amazing, seriously guys, listen to intro its AWSOME!!!! lol u should get publisher i heard other somgs, u could be a big hit!

[SmileyAngel4444]

this is awesome, man!

[STEAKJOHNS0N]

epic! you know your notes well

[philtesonevids]

very cool! I love Jam pack 4, it's the bomb!

[rlm380]

you have talent

[LeMightyJer]

BREATH-TAKING!

[littlefracture]

you know, you should seriously consider becoming a composer for an ochestra band. those people make lots of money i think :)

It would be a great feeling having a huuuuge orchestra playing the music you wrote!

[Hitsugayafan12]

Band ftw!

You've inspired me to do something like this for my marching band! I miss it as is. :(

[skonicki28]

sounds awesome

[SpeedyBoo]

This song is also very good... You make very nice chords choices, in a nice composition. Great!

[darklorddaviddd]

sounds like age of empires the game

[ilikeMAC40]

this is absolutely amazing, how long did it take to make it?

[babybayo]

only using the Jam Packs???

Great man!!

[bogidol]

I Like it!

[dakoolmusicdude]

That is awsome!!!! It makes me want to go buy a mac just to make songs like these

[TheGGBProduction]

omg this is amazing, keep it up

[GRonnoc]

Love the marimbas, I've always been a fan of that instrument :)

Similar style to your last ones, and I agree you've got a TINY bit of Zimmer to your style, but enough to keep yours from being a unique style.

[GRonnoc]

Sorry that should say that you've got a tiny bit of Zimmer in your style, but little enough to keep yours unique.

[buddhadonut]

mallet percussion FTW!

[bub777]

The first 40 seconds remind me of Age of Empires.

[hawkeyefan111]

wow i just love the last 20 or 30 seconds! A masterpiece

[darinarrick]

Please don't stop. Gorgeous!

[lpianol]

This sounds great. I actually hear a lot of Hans Zimmer in your writing especially in the heavily orchestrated parts. Very Nice, and keep up the writing!

[grabenoe]

Nice - now i'm curious - were you inspired by the Pirates-Soundtrack?

[coolperson58946]

somewhat... i can see how they are similar though. both are written in similar time signatures and have similar instrumentation.

[SaganeShow167]

@grabenoe i was thinking the same thing

[HitokiriBattousaiKun]

extremely nice man, good work. 5/5

[flynorppa]

awesome!!! what all instrument you use?

[coolperson58946]

do u mean what are the instruments that i used?

[flynorppa]

yes

[coolperson58946]

from the top down: Cathedral Organ, Choir, mixed string section, Cello soloist, mixed brass section, trumpet section, piccolo, french horn section, trombone section, tuba section, chimes, glock, crotales, xylo, 2 marimbas, timpani, percussion section, piano, harp.

[flynorppa]

nice! how long goes to write one song?

[coolperson58946]

depends.. i worte "Original symp garage comp. 2" in one week... bout 2 hours each day... but, this song took significantly longer... i started writing it back in april, and i finished it yesterday. i kept getting stuck for weeks. i would write like 10 measures then throw it out.. I couldn't decide on anything. but finally i got a few measures together that sounded acceptable..
