All original, composed with synth. This is the intro to my new project, a symphony which is the soundtrack to a very long dream.
Have you ever had a dream that seemed to last all night? Sometimes I do, and I often remember every part of the dream. That is how I thought of this title, because it is as if the dream is a saga, a long epic story with many parts to it. There will be many parts to this symphony (at least 5). This intro is called exploration because it represents the discovery and examination of the dream world (when the dream begins).
The picture is from google images. It looked like it fit the music well.
Very well done! I like the way that the final chord is suspended leaving the listener anticipating the next movement(I assume the different parts will be something akin to movements since you refer to it as a symphony). It is short,as one would expect for an "intro". The melody is repeated more often than I would have expected for an overture. But then,it's not an overture is it? An intro.
Dreams are great! One school of thought suggest that when we dream we enter another dimension. I think it's just our way of making sense of everything that bombards our subconcious during our waking hours.
Its all falling in place for you Travis. Dreams / premonitions or call it the awakening of sub concoius mind working at a higher level of intellect but indeed the reality of your dream has started in the right direction reflecting through your music. A Beethoven in offing - should I say :)
