Gourmandises remake

[Marka]

Hy,

I've finally mustered up the courage to try to create my first real composition and I decided to create a remake of Gourmandises (using Muse Score).

As a starting point I took melodies and harmonies from this video: Gourmandises piano howto youtube, fooled around while trying to figure out the rythm but failed and resorted to online tutorials.

Anyway, after some hours, this is what I came up with: Gourmandises-remix.ogg <-- it will be updated!

I used only the piano, bass guitar (fingered) and synthé strings, all part of the fluid synth soundfront.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main point:
I would be really happy if you shared your thoughts with me. This isn't of course the final product and I want to make it as good as possible with my rookie skills.

For all those interested, here is a derpy-looking pdf (sheet music):

It sounds solid to me. Good job !!!

Well I don't know squat about making music and I can't read sheet music either, so I can't offer any help there. But as for the sound, it pretty much matches the basics of the actual song, so thumbs up man!

Thank you very much for your response. I'll try to get one of my friends to help me mix the thing and add percurssions.

First of all, what I don't know about music could fill a phone book.
I listened to the first 2 parts and I wasn't quite sure where you were going with this. Sounded like you were in the ball park, but still had a ways to go, then all of a sudden the tempo picked up at the 1:07 mark and it sounded great, then you stopped and you picked up again at the 1:27 it picked up again and I said Yes!!!!!.....it was awesome. Then the chorus part sounded real good. Once you connect all the dots, I think you'll really have something.

Thank you very much. Though, I've got the chord progression and the melody from the Gourmandises piano howto on youtube, rythm from some other source (don't remember where exactly). I don't deserve much credit here.

I can add the percussion if you'd like .

... and the singing part...

Edit:

... and make a special episode of my youtube channel series as a music video.

Hy!

That would be really nice. You can find the wav files here: zip_file. Check the /deli subdirectory, there are wav files for all 3 instruments.

EDIT:
I would like to do Amélie'm a dit next... what would you like me to change, where should I improve?

Thanks i'll be working on it
