    Three guitars could indeed create the depth needed in layers. That's really a good suggestion to keep in mind, thanks!

    Over a year of learning later... here are two of my recent compositions which are completely different from what I’ve posted here before… The files are exported directly from Finale through Garritan because they are only the basic composition yet. https://soundcloud.com/wendy-van-der-donk/movement-of-human-behaviour https://soundcloud.com/wendy-van-der-donk/silence-wendy-van-der-donk-b-c I have grown into a way of composing that is very natural and organic to me, instead of wanting to achieve a certain genre or style. I don’t even know what style it fits, maybe it can be pushed into some classical genre although I doubt all “rules” are met. Now I’m still pondering about how to translate these compositions into songs to be performed live. Being a guitarist and wanting to do lives it will probably be something like a trio with guitar, bass and keyboard. It will really need some depth and warmth in the arrangements to create an ambiance and I worry that the sound would become very thin. Some thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I agree, it would be interesting to see what would happen if he'd try to step away from the same image he uses over again for a while. A fresh wind can do alot of good. But it's offcourse safer to stay with what has already proven to work, so I can understand.
  4. Zijn er hier ook songfestival kijkers? Wat vinden jullie van Birds, zal het scoren? Ik zelf vind wel dat het eindelijk eens een volwassen sound is die Nederland stuurt. En Anouk's attitude lijkt ook mee te vallen.

    A late reaction but I have to say that I really like Satin Lullaby. I like how it's sweet and dirty at the same time.

    I actually have used EZ Drummer in these songs, and am fiddling with it lately to get a more realistic sound before I record new songs. And don't worry for sounding mean or something, now I know about the things I should focus on improving and that is a great help.

    Thanks, and I'll work on making the drums more lively next time.

    A musician's corner Without a band, but with songs lying around I decided to make a demo called BIRN BIGITHI under the project name A White Flag in Barren Fields just to satisfy my own need of creating and learning. Hurray for technology these days. Didn't bother to attempt singing though, but do write lyrics/stories for my songs. You can probably hear the VK influences as it really inspired me years ago when I was in the beginning of learning songwriting. Genre: Poprock/hardrock Below are some short clips,Can't get it to work So you can listen here http://www.facebook.com/AWhiteFlagInBarrenFields/app_2405167945 If anyone is curious to the lyrics and full songs the DEMO EP can be downloaded at: http://www.mediafire.com/?b1z4xmp5e88vf1g Your Shady Pleasures Habel ~Because of the Destruction~ Unfamiliar Amenity Glass Tree I learned alot from the process and now have some more songs in the planning which will hopefully be of better quality.
  9. only the last part of the YT link, so in this case WBvZRx7W9Ds WBvZRx7W9Ds Thanks
  10. WBvZRx7W9Ds This has been on repeat for a few days now, I like how it's kind of hypnotic.
  11. Heb nooit iets om anime gegeven, alleen K-on gezien op aanraden van een vriendin omdat het zo heerlijk herkenbaar was allemaal. Niet gitaar kunnen spelen met bevroren vingers, girlband perikelen dat soort dingen.
  12. World/reality haha foutje, Googelde op TR forum en kwam hier uit. Wel jammer dat er dan zo weinig van over is, het had wel iets. Ik hoopte toendertijd stiekem ook op een lokale muziek beweging, dat het hier of in europa tot iets nieuws zou groeien ofzo.

    How to survive a Gazette concert in Germany: Wait at the very back of the line, and whatever you do... do not stand in the crowd at the concert. Just distance yourself a bit. I went to the 2007 or was it 2008, gig in Köln and naïve as me and my friend where we waited in the line where people started pressing and shoving far before the doors opened. At the concert itself when the first notes sounded everybody packed up tightly in a flash and started jumping, pushing and doing whatever to get further to the front, resulting in having no other choice than jumping along, being very short I just quickly went to the back of the hall (Which wasn't very easy since people just would't or couldn't let me through). Apart from the music I really didn't like that concert and the vibe there, have been to rougher concerts but never experienced anything like that hostile atmosphere. Maybe the band felt that atmosphere too and so held off any more Europe tours? I'm still curious if they will have one in 2013.
  14. Nieuwe Dutchie meldt zich. Ben al een paar jaar niet meer naar concerten in Nederland geweest en eigenlijk helemaal niet in de scene actief, maar nadat ik gisteren een item over Lolita's in Man Bijt Hond zag bedacht ik me, hoe staat het er nu voor? Herinner me dit forum nog als Tainted Reality en zo kom ik hier terecht. Jref is ook niet meer wat het geweest is en Vknl lijkt me aardig dood. Zijn er andere Nederlandse forums waar iedereen heen geëmigreerd is, of zijn jullie wat er qua online peeps nog overgebleven is ? Worden er überhaupt nog meets gehouden?
