Album: Dream Saga Symphony

All original, composed with synth. All choir vocals by me.

 

This is the last part, representing the phase of dreaming when reality fades in. There is a brief moment in the dream when you realize that it is a dream . It is like an enlightenment when the mind makes sense out of everything. It can be a feeling of relief but then sadness , because you can not return to this dream and perhaps finish anything that is left unresolved . You must leave it behind. I tried to portray this as a "bitter-sweet " sound (happy, but with a subtle hint of sadness ).

 

Now that the project is finished , I guess I should give some general information about how it all happened. The first idea came to me many years ago. I love music , and I am very interested in dreams and the subconscious mind, so I thought about making music that was like a soundtrack to a dream. A few years went by and I forgot about this idea for a while. Within the past few months, I began to experiment with making symphonic music, and I really enjoyed it. This made me remember the "dream soundtrack" idea, and I decided that I should compose a symphony with many parts, each representing a different section of a long dream. That is how the word "saga"came to me. It's like the dream is an epic story, like a book or a movie.

 

There are three main reasons why I decided to undertake a project that would be rather difficult for me (considering I have very little experience with this type of music).

1st: To test myself and expand my horizons. It is important for an artist to try something different once in a while. It is a great way to develop new abilities.

2nd: I have always enjoyed symphonic music, even before I started creating it. Some of my inspirations are Muse (particularly the Exogenesis Symphony), Era, Luca Turilli, Philippe Giordana (and other symphonic metal composers /bands such as Aquaria ) and Hans Zimmer. His soundtrack to the movie "Gladiator" is ingenious . I have always paid much attention to the music in movies, so it is natural for me to attempt to make similar music that evokes images and emotions (I hope).

3rd: The most important reason why I have worked on this is because of all of you who listen. When I first started, I never expected such a positive response. Your kind comments have deeply inspired me and I can not thank you enough for giving me the desire to complete this project. So a HUGE "thank you " to: Rana, Spartano, jorual, samp, Kourse, sandro-glavina, Guitorb, djshisha92, skiron, Soundmacher, holie, ArtistW, redisland, VickyDan, kathyjuan, audionaut, smartsmurf, woha, and TylerDream. I sincerely appreciate your support, and you should know that you all are the reason this symphony has been made.

 

Well I believe that's all the information anyone might like to read. As usual, the picture is from google. It looks as if the mind is calm and rather happy, because the stress and chaos is coming to an end. However, when you observe the beauty of the imaginary world, you are still reluctant to leave.

 

Thanks for listening and dreaming with me!

Hi

 

So you finished the saga.......if this work is really all done by yourself (i guess so), then you reached a level that the most of us aren`t able to reach. You got the ability to transform emotions into a wonderful kind of music. I enjoyed listenenig to all of these parts, really.

But....what comes next? Is it possible for you to climb a higher degree of increase? Yes. You should try to compose a professional soundtrack - for a professional movie. 

 

With best regards

FANTASTIC job in a great, great atmosphere....and....many thanks for mention !!!!! ciao da sandro

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Firstly my appolgies for being late...but just could not help it...with the fasting month of Ramadan all teh routines change, thereafter Eid festivities and with guests at home and office starting in a full swing it was just so very difficult to manage what I love to do i.e.music.

 

A truly commendable project you have concluded and as I have said earlier you are on the road to the glory my friend...your music ideas and inspirations are indeed have a distinct flavour which reflect amazingly through  the music that you create. It is not an easy task to put together what one really want to represent but for you it appears that it just flows from within and anything which has a heart in it connects very easily.

 

Splendid track and I just wish that the journey could have continuedd for a lot many more tracks...
