"Go West, Young Man" - Composed by Chris Ryan

[dandoneganfan]

I posted this and "A new tomorrow" in my facebook account :)

[justcallmemrmetal]

First time hearing you, and oh my god. This is absolutely stunning, i don't think words can do proper justice to how beautiful this sounds. I can only tell you how much i love this through words, which might not seem much, but its all i can do; if there was a way that i could possibly tell you much i love this then i would. Amazing work here man, keep on making music, you will get extremely far one day!

[KLGAviation]

@justcallmemrmetal Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it!

[jdrcomposer]

Spent the last hour or so going through your stuff. Truly amazing, in every aspect-especially love this piece, very heartfelt.

[KLGAviation]

@jdrcomposer Oh, wow! Thanks so much JD!

[Matam1991]

This is absolutely beautiful. I hope you continue following your dreams. God bless you, my friend, in all that you do.

[KLGAviation]

@Matam1991 Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[Gabril224]

brilliant exelente mi amigo

[KLGAviation]

@Gabril224 Gracias!

[RoederGaming]

Wow, I could just feel that song going down my spine. I'm not going to forget this.

[JavelinaRides]

I bet there is a great big bottle of Tequila awaiting!!!!!

[MemphisSweden]

That was georgious! Stunning work Ryan, just amazing. You´re a brilliant composer.

Regards , Memphis @ soundsonline.

[KLGAviation]

@MemphisSweden Thanks Josef! Really appreciate it!

[kramer727272]

I can imagine riding in a horse drawn carriage going from east to west when I hear this, and seeing Yosemite for the first time, untouched by mankind. This would be great for a western.

[StationOneZero]

i think of True Grit when I hear this

[starcobra123]

Brilliant simply brilliant

[GWScores]

Yep. Still my favorite.

[KLGAviation]

@GWScores I'm still counting on you to help me get this story on the silver screen, George!

[PatrickGillMusic]

Still loving this track Chris.. I think I can understand the meaning behind the song title now ;). Something I will have to do myself!

[TifShao]

Just BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO !

[ManiMcLethal]

fuck... I don´t know what you have in your head, but is something amazing

[halynamyroslava]

A lot of thanks

[FrankRMusic]

Really nice music production. Very good. I sub for more;-))

Best wishes, Frank

[KLGAviation]

@FrankRMusic Thanks for the subscription, Frank!

[allenwutten]

Thank you very much for inspiring me....T_T

[ResistanceODST]

This doesn't have nearly enough views.

[FrogEthic]

@ResistanceODST Agreed!

[danielwills93]

Hi, is this just the Gold edition or the pro XP too? (the orchestra not the piano) :-) great themes in this!

[KLGAviation]

@danielwills93 Thanks! This EWQL Symphony Orchestra Gold, don't think they make pro XP anymore.

[ShiningHourPop]

This is a really fantastic piece of work. As much as I loved John Barry and his score for Dances With Wolves, there are definitely a few scenes your music could easily replace very well such as The Ride To Fort Hays. Very impressed! What version Mac are you using and did you have to put EWSO on a separate hard drive?

[KLGAviation]

@ShiningHourPop Thanks for the listen! I love John Barry's work in DWW, so it's an honor to even be put in the same sentence as him. For this piece I used a Macbook Pro running Pianos Gold and EWQLSO on the main hard drive, but I've since changed my setup.

[DillonB1234]

I don't know if I wrote a proper comment on this piece yet chris, but even if I did I will now again.

Honestly, this is brilliant. And I don't say that lightly. I like this a lot more than many scores on my ipod. I think this is more passion filled and inspiring than many famous film composers now adays.

Truly remarkable Chris. I nearly cried. Very few pieces have done that to me

I hope to one day compose something this great.

Just wow...that is all

[KLGAviation]

@DillonB1234 Thanks again Dillon! It's always great to get feedback from other composers.

[KLGAviation]

@ForCarolToEnjoy Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!

[ugottheblues]

you should upload scores

[KLGAviation]

@ugottheblues If you'd like to see a copy, shoot me a message! I'd be happy to email it to you.

[anewdayproductions]

this is absolutely sensational chris. i really appreciate your attention to detail.

[Ryuthedragon91]

Just tell me how someone can dislike this music.

[realseoul]

This is really inspiring. How long did it take you to 'compose' this?

[KLGAviation]

@realseoul Glad you enjoyed! I can't really give a solid time frame because I love letting things develop over time, but it was sort of a summer project that I worked on whenever I was free. Though, I will say that orchestrating it was 90% of the effort (and 90% of the fun)!

[ShunkawakanOkawingha]

This truly captures the beauty of the west for white and Lakota alike. I salute you and your effort to remind us of our past. Whether it is one Lakota going after his fist tatanka, (buffalo) or a cowboy rising ove the crest of the hill to see freedom horizon to horizon, this music, this beauty, is waht unites us all as one. You are helping to tie the circle of the medicine wheel. God Bless you

[Video182]

dude i am just listening to this because you had the audacity to say you were like frezned, and wow, beautiful. dont say that about music much

[KLGAviation]

@Video182 Thanks dude! Glad you found your way over here!

[YThemertY]

Chris... thsi music is one of the best I have ever heard.

On my playlist "EPIC MUSIC".

[KLGAviation]

@YThemertY You're too kind... I'm glad to hear it's made your playlist!

[Themenkreisel]

I love it so much I listen to regularly



[KLGAviation]

@Themenkreisel Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[unclejohn90]

Absolutely brilliant. I'd pay money to hear this in a concert hall any day.

I can definitely hear the James Horner influence with this piece, he's one of my favorite composers as well.

Please keep writing.

[KLGAviation]

@unclejohn90 Thanks for the kind words, John... I'd love to get this performed one day. Have a great week, and stay tuned!

[nextg]

Hello! I am a filmmaker but am a composer on the side with a lot of influences. And I too have been thinking up many, many compositions since I was a child. I have been looking for good orchestra plug-ins for GarageBand myself, when I stumbled upon the EastWest collection. This absolutely magnificent piece you've written makes me want to purchase it even more. Keep up the good work. :) Matt

[KLGAviation]

@nextg Hey Matt, thanks for the listen! The EastWest collection is fantastic - I highly recommend it!

[nextg]

@KLGAviation You're welcome, and thank you!

[iWagn3r]

Are you saying that you composed this with software and the let it play by an orchestrate?

[KLGAviation]

@iWagn3r I composed and recorded this using software, although I would love to have it played by a live orchestra!

[iWagn3r]

@KLGAviation

Wow I am totally amazed - I didn't know there is such a great Software!

Could you please tell me/us what's the name of it?

Again: Wonderful job - this theme is fantastic! It brings pictures from "Legends of the Fall" to my head and I really can hear some Michale Giacchino in it.

[KLGAviation]

@iWagn3r Thanks again! "The Ludlows" was definitely an inspiration. This was composed in Garageband using EastWest SO Gold and Pianos Gold.

[sendaantigua2011]

Just marvelous!! it makes you dream of the undreamable!! =) ♪ ♪ blessings  =)

[Pedy1968]

This wonderful song touched my soul! Thank you so much for this!!!

[BaerchenprinzBln]

Your music is touching and inspiring! I almost cried, I don´t know why. But tears of enchantment. So don´t feel sorry to compose beautiful music. Thanks for sharing your talent. Wow. ΛNDЯÉ ☺

[KLGAviation]

@BaerchenprinzBln Thank you for the kind words, André!

[jaredmusic100]

I really love your composition. I compose a little myself. What would you recommend to someone like me who would like to improve their composition skills. What do you think about studying orchestration? Do you know of any good books or websites where I could learn on how to compose for an orchestra? Any advise would be helpful. Once again I love your music!

[KLGAviation]

@jaredmusic100 Hey Jared! Thanks a ton... ah, if I had to offer any advice, I would simply say write, write, write. Generally, everything you write will be better than the last thing you write---you'll only get better. As far as orchestration goes, I learned by listening, but depending on how you work there are definitely good resources available. Try doing a google search for "Principles of Orchestration Online" for a pretty good interactive crash course on classic orchestration! Best of luck!

[o815ceanic]

there's only one man on our little planet that can make me feel what i felt when i first heard this beautiful piece : MICHAEL GIACCHINO

thank you

[brettcallan16]

absolutely amazing, Chris! I really don't mean to seem like the ex-roommate-of-your-current-ro­ommate stalker, but from one musician to another- this is brilliant! congrats on all you've accomplished so far and may you continue to be blessed, man! keep pursuing your own big dreams- I think we'll see great things from you, sir!

[KLGAviation]

@brettcallan16 Hahaha no worries Brett---and thank you! I really want to get this one performed, we'll see what happens. And by the way, Cali is absolutely fantastic. I love it here!

[mobius1aic]

Wonderful piece of work you have here.

[mitchnutt216]

It boggles my mind that this composition received a "dislike." Certainly everyone has their unique preferences, but the amount of work that went into this is evident. Beautiful!

[wounkas1111]

This is the first time in my life that I comment on youtube.

I just created a new account just to let you know how impressed I am with the superb, amazing, breathtaking music.

As long as we live, we keep encountering new wonders in this world... you're one of them

God bless you

[KLGAviation]

@wounkas1111 Thank you for your kindness---I truly appreciate it!

Chris :)

[MusicBySav]

Your music is very inspiring and beautiful. A song like this is so fresh and new, yet you make it feel like it was always there. Thank you =]

[HTGioMez]

Simply wonderful! I wish I could produce something like this! I really like your style.

How did you orchestrate this? I'm using EW/QL products too inside Finale as VST plugin. Do you use a sequencer?

[KLGAviation]

@HTGioMez Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I orchestrated it in Garageband using EWQL SO Gold and Pianos Gold.

[MissEleonora777]

is wonderful compliments:) You're very good God bless you greatly

[Gir0flee]

This is really great!

[nhickification]

Magnificent music! We happen to have the same gear and I'll be posting soon!

[scaper3]

This is really magnificent... and credit to you for noting your influences without sounding like them! I'd rank this amongst the best compositional work I've come across on youtube - very moving and stunningly orchestrated. Those sounds are superb, too.

Best, Ray

[sevcik2]

Your music is simply wonderful!!!

[CallingHeartRecords]

This piece should have millions of views by now. I never get tired of listening to this wondrous piece of yours. What makes music like this so moving over all other forms of music in the world is that it allows one to move the heart in a very deep and soulful way that other music can never achieve even with words.

The only other composer that comes to mind when I listen to your heartfelt music is film composer, John Barry who until finding you, has been my #1 inspiration for film music.

[KLGAviation]

@CallingHeartRecords Thank you for your comments, James. It's an honor even to be placed in the same sentence as the brilliant John Barry!

[mitchnutt216]

@CallingHeartRecords Completely agreed.

[CallingHeartRecords]

Bravo! 

[Nordsternfreunde]

thank you JUKEBOX4YOU for sharing

great

[halynamyroslava]

!!!!!

[dadinnewmexico]

Spectacular, once again!!! THANK YOU! :)

[SaltyTank07]

Wow!  Really great. I can hear the Michael Giacchino influence.

[alexlamymusic]

Really awesome stuff man!

I really mean it, I spend a lot of time seeing what other composers are up to and you'd be surprised at how much bad stuff there is around, this was literally a breath of fresh air, something that made me think 'ahh the future of this industry has some promise'.

Also I wanted to say well done on the mix as well, I know East West sounds very well and you've succeeded in making them sound realistic.

If you have any time please check out my channel too :)

[djcalibar]

absolutely genius !

[axt121978]

Good job!

I invite you to listen to my works for symphony orchestra. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Cristian Axt

[MussiqueClassique]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StationOneZero]

my God

[brainymarge]

makes me think of Dances With Wolves, great

[misslexire26]

It's beautiful Chris. Congrats on the semester in Hollywood. I adore your music. It's such a wonderful piece and it reminds me of all my favorite movie composers - John Williams, Howard Shore and the like... my friends give me crap for liking movie composers, but just look at the beautiful things you can create. :) You have the talent... good luck!

[KLGAviation]

@misslexire26 Thanks! I'm glad we share a passion for film music... it's some of the strongest material out there---never let anyone convince you otherwise! :)

[DanielCiurlizza]

@KLGAviation Indeed it is. I second that.

[javilack]

@misslexire26 Amen to the brother

[DanielCiurlizza]

Ahh yes, this again... listening to this for the 4rd time since you first brought it out. Very much in the style of Giacchino for a minute.

[Salchichonio48151623]

You're a true genius. This is such a beautiful piece. It really makes you fly to those dreamy far horizons.

[KLGAviation]

@Salchichonio48151623 Thank you!

[Samubiche]

i think you have a great futur ahead of you

[pligana]

[tonydmen1]

awesome

[elettrofisa]

Wonderful video 5*

[orionedwin]

Just lovely . . . beautiful sounds in this composition; it sounds just like an orchestra. May I ask what program you used?

[KLGAviation]

@orionedwin Thank you! I use EastWest SO Gold and QL Pianos Gold running through Garageband.

[princesseblue1]

Magnifique!!!

[AlmaMahler16]

...sognante... e pieno di poesia...

[AlcidesConstante]

Who never had dreams, small dreams, big dreams? It is a so beautiful music, a soundtrack, the soul of a movie! Bravo, Chris!!!

[nonmipresento]

...si veramente bello...nmp

[cuoylyf]

Magnifique!!!

[ossama2000il]

@cuoylyf Thanks dear Isis for this great share,this is truly wonderful dear,i really love it,so beautiful piece of music.

well done.

best wishes for both.

[princesseblue1]

@cuoylyf thank you Isis, I enjoyed so much!!

[ComposerSyterious]

This piece is very relaxing; their is nothing irritating about this piece at all. the piano parts sound like it could be a certain nocturne style piece. Extremely good quality. I have similar feelings to what jijaat said, I would like it more if parts of it were more upfront, but my compositions are a lil' crazy. lol

Great job, and very movie like near the end.

[ComposerSyterious]

@ComposerSyterious * jijgaat

[jijgaat]

Hey,

This sounds really great, I am really impressed by the good quality and strong writing! Really cool stuff. Only comment I have is that this is kind of going on without really grabbing my attention. This music did great as background music. Although I think sometimes it's good to have your music more upfront, even though you aspire making music for films or games. I am really curious about your future works :).

Take a look at my work too please.

Kind regards.

[karencm09]

Very beautiful!

[IsisSlovenska]

Magnifique!!! love it!!

[HeyItsHollyYo]

Love it! Keep it up!

[SaiteK1911]

This has kinda small Lost theme to it.

GJ.

[jprince815]

this is very good. i definitely sense some Jurassic Park inspiration.

[JonBrooksComposer]

Sounds great...  Well done! :-)

[DillonB1234]

great job man!

[HTGioMez]

Beautiful!

[Pianopod]

This is worthy of a blockbuster!

[StarWarseu]

incredible, excellent job.

[polhas]

Beautifully and so imaginatively orchestrated. Bravo!

[SharpWMusic]

"This one goes out to anyone who has ever had big dreams!"

Amen

[OrchestrationOnline]

Hey Chris - I've actually been all over "The West" - from Washington, Idaho, and Montana, all the way down to Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, and pretty much everywhere in between. If some young documentarian was creating a new series about the places I've seen, and the poetry they inspire, then they should hire you and use this clip as the theme music. That was some perfectly-conceived, gracefully-orchestrated cinematic music of the first water. Go get a job now in the industry.

[KLGAviation]

@OrchestrationOnline Thanks for the feedback, Thomas! Glad I do it justice. As for getting a job in the industry, I wish I knew where to even start, haha...

[JimOnex]

EXCITINGLY peaceful ... quieting ... how better to fall asleep. THANK YOU!!!

[WizardWalk]

Beautiful work! :-)

[FrankACcelli]

Hey Chris. It's been awhile. I can tell you have been busy, this piece sounds amazing. Kudos dude, god I sound like Hurley ;-)

[Harzmusic]

Beautiful. Very well done dude. The theme reminds me of something... Don't know what it is... But very nice work!

[phoobingcamel]

Absolutely marvellous, Chris! A beautiful, well-arranged piece of music like always :-)

[hardvenomrule]

Excellent work, as always!

[Furiousity]

I like this :]
