Film Score... need help

[richiebee]

Anyone with 5 minutes on their hands... could you listen to this, and see if you recognize any of the three main themes. This is something I'm working on... I've done the composition and arrangement, but before I go and record it all properly, I want to make sure I haven't subconsciously taken someone elses work - I have been known to do that before and my tutor says the best way to avoid it is to ask people to listen.

It's a rough mock up to say the least which I've done in several pieces and put together just for this listening session, so excuse the crap mix, crap sounds, excessive reverb, a few wrong notes and other shit... it's just the musical themes I'm asking for help on at this point.

Ta.

I do like soundtracks and a good movie for me owes a lot to its soundtrack. Having said that I'm no soundtrack expert but this doesn't ring any 'sounds like' alarm bells for me except for a few moments at the start which you generally hear in a lot of tension moments in scores.
Can I ask what program you used for the orchestration?

I do all my scoring in Cubase. The sounds come from various VI's.

This one I split up into several projects which is why there's such disparity between the sections. I've put them all into one now and re-recorded all the instruments.

I'm feeling better about the sounds now, next onto the mix...
