Make It Rain - TON Ocarinas in Fantasy

This is my ultra-last minute entry for the TON "Ocarinas in Fantasy' competition. I dared to enter the Contest :3 although I just started playing the Ocarina a few weeks ago - but I already love it!

I composed this today as it was raining heavenly and I tried to capture the mood outside - Magical effect of this song: rain starts is falling down...

Ocarinas used Focalink Double AC
Background Music: Yamaha Keyboard using NI Komplete Sounds.

Good luck to all the participants!

Hey everybody, sorry I have been away for quite some time - but now finally added a link to the Instrumental Version (Backtracks) - you'll find the link in the description box!

So you just started playing ocarina, and you already can do a vibrato? You're a quick learner.  Amazing composition. You need to practice your breath control, the sound is to "airy", but for a few week of ocarina playing you're doing great.

[MelanieAlessandra]

@Gyzyn Thank you for your kind words and for the advice! :) Yes I still have to practice a lot, breathing techniques are very tricky :) The vibrato was something I wanted to be able to do sooo badly so I practised a lot on that, but still am not satisfied with it :/

[Winzra]

I think everything has pretty much been said but you did such an amazing job! I hope you continue to nurture you awesome talents!

[MelanieAlessandra]

@Winzra omg, thank you so much :**) Comments like yours are really encouraging...I already have some plans for some re-arrangements, but unfortunately I'm lacking the time :( But I'm definitively going to upload something soon.. thanks again for your kind words :*)

Wow you're this good after just playing for a few weeks, I'm envious! I played for about 2-3 months now and am not this good yet. Did you play any other instrument before?

[MelanieAlessandra]

@Darkanii Thank you!! But I'm really not that good :D haha, there are some _really_ skilled ocarina players out there on YT ;) I just love making music and with the ocarina it was like "love at first sight :D" I have been playing the piano for quite some time, maybe this helped a bit.

Gosh, why is it that some people get to just be born with talent? I try everything to compose but after like a thousand tries I only come out with like two good songs. And they aren't even that great.

[Gyzyn]

@MelanieAlessandra Don't be too harsh on yourself you're doing great for just a few weeks of practice. You will develop a good breating in no time, just practice.

[MelanieAlessandra]

@GlassedGamer Aw, thank you so much, glad you liked it! :*) I'm kind of a newbie myself - but I try to practice as much as I can! So go for it, and hope to see some ocarina playing from you soon! :D
