Grand orchestral spaghetti Western in the style of Ennio Moricone

JohnHuldt · Jul 8th 2015

Hey guys. I did this as a composing/arranging job for a client who'd written a theme (literally, I got a phone recording of him singing the theme and strumming on a electric guitar) and this is what I came up with. Not a whole lot of electric guitar on this but some twangy tones can be found. Profiles by And44 at TAF as usual

Great arrangment John, lots of tracks on this one ! I have just a minor dislike for the intro harmonica, it sounds a bit too midi to me, maybe you'll grab a real one and kemperize it ?

Or a baritone guitar?

Well done! You've done a great job of a composition in that style. It would fit right into the soundtrack

Very good, is Clint Eastwood staring in that one?

Believe it or not but that is a real harmonium. The file that was sent to me was really harsh sounding though and I had quite a bit of problems with it. The harmonium is real, so is the flute and all guitars, most percussion. Strings, brass, choir etc are all VST's

Great job!

Wow, that's strange. I too thought that it's a really nice track except for that fake sound.

We have been scammed It's not the first time I think real horns or real harmonium sound midi , I'm used to the roots sound of blues harmonica and horns , if it's too clean it sounds midi to me !!!

Anyway it's a great job you did
