Music (genuine GE Style)
Wake[of]theBunT:
Ignore vc, it was a metallica joke directed at killermonkey, see the quote he posted? Nothing to do with your music, he went off topic.

Now a refined word from me, I finally get your intention now that ive heard this sample track.....you want to make your own movie SCORE in the style of GoldenEye but more friendly to videogame music? Pretty neat if thats so because you REALLY stay close to serra's style.
The one thing to note is your arrangement is a little too messy, and its not mastered well at this point.
My final question, are you planning to be doing original eric serra score style for our levels, or taking each levels arrangement from the GAME and tailoring it to an eric serra score style with your samples. Thats the only thing i cant work out :P
mookie:
No, it was a subtle anti-anti-piracy dig.
Just listened to the GE one and to me it sounds off. The sound effects are all over the place, they feel scattered, everything seems to be off the beat like a junior high school band, and there doesn't really seem to be a melody beyond the normal four-note 007 theme.
I really liked CBD even though the style doesn't really fit what's already been done for GES. The only weird thing about it (for me) is it sounds a lot like Kiss Him Goodbye.
Goldenzen:
Hi there,
thanks again for your comments. This song was just an example to show what is possible. I can try and work out more complex song structures and look for the song to be a little more less messy as some of you described.
@wakeofthebunt: Yeah ! That is absolutely my intention. I like Serra's style but also the GE game music (still got the music on my MP3 player ). I want to get beat and the rhythmic of the GE game, the dark style of Serra and a good load of my artwork to make it special.
To be very honest I would like to do my own tracks, but if you need me for something else we sure can talk about that.
Could you please also describe what you mean with the "bad mastered" thing ? How could I do it better ?
If you like we could get in touch or talk about an "auditioning piece": I do a piece of music you could need, with some of your instructions. Together with your great hints I am sure we can work out some good tracks.
Thanks and cheers,
Yannick

Complex structures only work if the smaller components compliment one another, and facilitate larger sections, if not the entirety of the piece itself. There's no point in putting a fugue in the middle of an expanded rondo from if it doesn't make any sense.
If there's one lesson I've learned, it's that simplicity is unmistakable - in more ways than one.
If the orchestration, harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic motion are intricate, concise, well arranged and implemented, then the form can be very simple.
I would recommend not only listening, but studying the work done so far - it will give insight into motion (the "plot line,") provide ideas for variations of the motifs, and illustrate examples for how to foster continuity between musical concepts and ideas into a manifestation through sound.
Jonathon [SSL]:
I personally liked the overall sound his track, it reminded me (a lot) of my favorite part of Eric Serra's GE Movie soundtrack, "The Goldeneye Overture", with the background ambient noise, the strings playing the bond theme, and the timpani (I think that's the name of it) playing a steady beat in the background. Also, it's much different than anything I've heard from Basstronix or Audix, in that it has a much darker sound very reminiscent of the movie.
Only complaint is the seemingly random bits here in there, kinda like what mookie said.
(Examples: the seemingly random background sound effects at 0:51, 1:00, 1:22, especially 1:34, and 1:41, and the like.)
