Being that I don't hear too much strictly-orchestral style, I composed a quickie one. It's short, but came out fairly decent. I call it "Stars" because I couldn't think of a good title. ;D This tune focuses on the Fusion's realistic sounding strengths.

As always..... !!!
You should doodle some more in this area - sounds good. The woodwind sounded great to my ears (though perhaps I might have transposed the glock up an octave ... sounded bit 'gamelan' as it is with the vibes).
And I'd love to hear you develop that theme with strings and stuff. But who am I to criticise?!
As always..... !!!

Funny you mention the transposing, because I had a bitch of a time deciding what key to place this in to keep the flutes realistic. I needed to have all three ranges (lo, mid, hi), hence the Vibes on the low end, the Glockenspiel on the high and the rest in the mid-area. I originally had a contrabass on the low end but it stuck out too much. However, I may re-work it. I'm fairly certain my next release of tunes will be orch based. Many orch sounds on the Fusion are to-die-for. ;D |

I think the flutes and woodwind in general were ok ... it was just the 'gamelan' nature of the vibes and glock that bugged me a little. But just my personal opinion (FWIW... and who am I to criticise).
But I would like to hear whatever you might come up with on the orchestral front given your talent with Fusion.
There's a challenge for you!!!!!
