Hi everyone. I've been away for sometime now :/

Anyway, this is my first attempt at an orchestral score on a bigger scale, inspired by some time I spent this summer in Croatia (especially the coast), and wanted to share it with you and maybe get some feedback. What do you think?

I like it. Reminds me of a movie score, a motor car driving on a mountainous costal road.

Very impressed.

Nice sound. Gives me images of people dancing the tango.

Thank you @CaliaMoko. Glad you enjoyed it!

It's funny that your signature is "You're never to old to try new things". I like to think this track is exactly about new things - either remembering a new thing you tried, or wishing for a new thing yet to come.

@Keith

You are the 3rd person to say that about the road and the coast! I guess you are right, even though I didn't have that particular image in mind when I did write it. Thank you!

I really like the musical atmosphere. Nice counterpoint. Good sound. Intrepid, sensual and beautiful melody. Reminds me "Mr. Selfridge" soundtrack. Nice job.
My best wishes from Chile.

Beautiful;

sounds, like real instruments.

This is gooood....nice music idea and very melodically sound. Lots to enjoy here, with a mix of traditional and orchestral. From 1:04 to 1:28 I thought it could do with another melody on top and it seemed to be more of a backing when the lead dropped out. The bass guitar throughout is great, as it gives the piece quite a groovy feel.

Because of the mix of traditional with orchestral I wondered whether the intro should have been played on an accordion rather than a piano? Just an idea though...

[Dimitris]

Thx for the good words guys!

@MartynRich YES! Initially it had an accordion as the solo intrument, but abandoned that idea because i really hated the Sibelius sound library for the accordion or even bandoneon! I've even downloaded some accordion sounds for the midi output to sound better but it was disapointing...

@TheButcher I'm glad you think so It was a lot of effort to make it sound like that, and still I'm not totaly happy with it, but it's ok I guess.

@Max Adam Thank you from Greece!
