Music (genuine GE Style)
killermonkey:
Listening to your works reminds me of when I used to listen to old school Metallica songs played out on MIDI (back in 1997). They had the beats and the melodies, but they lacked the background effect, punch, and overall atmosphere required of Metallica (not to mention the killer riffs and vocals).
You would have to capture the MOOD of the level / game in order to truly succeed amongst our current sound artists. Listen to their music and do a side by side comparison to yours, you will hear what I mean. The music is there to engage the player, not to just be in the background to drown out some other shitty sound effects.

Go ahead and post this Goldeneye track you speak of to give us a sense of your feel for the Goldeneye mood. Writing music for Goldeneye is very different from writing in the style of today's epic shooters as your music seems to tend toward (COD, Halo, Rainbow Six, etc).
I did listen to several of your tracks, and noticed a wide range of apparent skill. "The CBD Commando Theme" was very good with an obvious grasp of samples, whereas others were noticeably weak (such as the "Fight on the Edge" - those machine gun marcato strings need some work). I might recommend purging some of your older works from your page as you continue looking for new projects, as they might actually work against you. Better to have three or four killer tracks up for people to listen to than ten with several so-so ones mixed in.

Hello guys,
wow thank you very much for all the comments, I really appreciate it. You are absolutely right, the big range of quality in my pieces commes from the fact that some of them are a bit older. I am going to delete some. The CBD stuff is quite new actually, and meanwhile I have even better programs.
Here`s the Goldeneye track, hope you`ll like it:

Hear that? That's Lars hopping into the Justicemobile, coming to break your kneecaps for soundcrime.
