Feb 2022 superskirmish skirmish ss020422c electronic electronica symphony girl-with-guitar no-excuses
This is my entry for the above mentioned skirmish. I am usually prone to more or less symphonic approaches, so I tried something different this time - I wanted to use my new-learned guitar skills (I've been practicing for some weeks now, wheee!), do a nice sound carpet with weaving layers in more classical instrumentation, and play some guitar over that.

Hmmm. Guitar reminds of early Mike Oldfield. Nice sound that is.

Ooh, I really love the interplay of those piano and guitar lines. This sounds anxious to me with the insistent piano arpeggios. Love it when the synths comes, especially the analog Moog sounding one. VERY cool stop and start not at the end that took me by surprise. Really well done and I really enjoyed it!

Way to take this opportunity to explore and to take risks. Solid backgrounds and production. Love the guitar counterpoint and synth lines.

This is amazing work for a skirmish! Something about it really reminds me of maybeshewill, one of my absolute favourite bands (though maybe that's just the piano and guitar). The feel of this is superb.

This is awesome for a skirmish track. Coming up with this in a short amount of time is an achievement for sure

Wow Chris, I could not come with this idea in a skirmish. This sounds completely epic and could be the intro to a symphonic metal album. Great!
@mikeb Feb 2022
The guitars give it a biting piercing feel, and with the continuing piano part and blend to non-guitar parts toward the end, it could be the opening theme for a new suspenseful movie.

This is wonderful. It definitely took me on a journey. I like how the guitar and piano enter into a call and response sometimes.

This certainly has the depth and variance of movement you'd expect to find in a symphony.
So, that's the first movement done! On to the second!
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
Sehr schönes musikalisches Motiv vor einem reichen, "blühenden" Hintergrund. Awesome guitar play as well!
@mikehex Feb 2022
Nicely done! Really rich soundscape with good interplay of the different elements. Great skirmish
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Really cool - a truly symphonic feel to this work!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
This is really engaging and intriguing full of a wonderful juxtaposition of melancholy and hope. I love the richness that is conveyed and the surprises and swells amid the movement.
@pabrizzer Feb 2022
