New from the Mediterranean Area

[TDM]

Hello everybody! My name is Tanju Demirhan but I call myself TDM (Tanju Demirhan Music) since it's easier for people to remember 😅

I'm a turkish selftaught composer and guitarist. I was born in Germany but live in Antalya (Turkey) rightnow - my German is stronger than my Turkish and English 🤣

I'm actually a chemist with a master in Biochemistry/Biotechnology but you know how it is, most people study what they don't really wanna do their entire life.

I write instrumental music, most of the time orchestral/trailer/movie music (I guess it's called Epic Orchestral?), some rock and metal music but I also got myself a bit into Electro Pop (still none published).

I'm open to almost any kind of collaboration as long as it's something I'm used to but would also try new things 😅

But I don't sing or write lyrics - that's really out of my talents 🙃

Hi TDM,

 

 Welcome to Songstuff! Nice to meet you. We have a Collaborations board that you might be interested in.  Lots of lyric writers on the boards, too.

 

If you have any questions just ask.  See you around the boards!

Hey there TDM, good to have you with us. Looking forward to hearing some of your tunes!

[TDM]

Thank you very much @Peggy! 

I'll certainly have a look around 🙂 

 

Hi @john, it's good to be here 🙂 I'm excited myself to listen to what the other members shared on the forum.

Nice to meet you TDM. I just joined around a week ago. Enjoying it so far. Your music style sounds very eclectic, look forward to hearing some of it.

[TDM]

Likewise @An Abstract Mouse 🙂 

Lets hope my music taste won't give you much of a struggle 😅

[Tonedead]

Hello Tanju Demirhan. I'm new here too. My name is Troy but I go by Tonedead because Troy is just too easy. 

[TDM]

Hey there Troy! Nice to meet you! "Tonedead" is quite an interesting name 😄 hope you're still doing well with music 😜

[Tonedead]

It keeps me sane 

[TDM]

I can very well understand that, it's the same on my side. 

[TDM]

Hey @VoiceEx

Wow that's a huge list 😅 Thank you so much! That will really come in handy 😄

[TDM]

I'm not sure if I'm good enough to create my own samples that way but I guess it's worth a try. For now I use the libraries below (copied from another forum i wrote this topic about):

From Cinesamples -
For Brass - CineBrass Core and Pro

Strings - CineStrings Core 

Woodwinds - CineWinds Core and Pro
Harp - CineHarp
Percussions - CineToms, Deep Percussion Beds 1 and 2, CinePerc EPIC, Drums of War 2
Choir - Voxos
Piano - Piano in Blue
Solo Cello - Tina Guo Acoustic Cello Legato
Solo Violin - Taylor Davis

Other Brands -

East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Gold Edition (I'm actually disappointed by this library. The percussions aren't that bad tho)
LA Scoring Strings 2

LA Scoring Strings 2 Sordino
Cinematic Strings 2 (my favorite)
Afflatus Chapter I Strings (very good library but didn't use it too much for now)
Native Instruments - The Giant (Piano)
Tonehammer - Epic Tom Ensemble (I guess that one isn't available anymore)
Sample Logic - Cinematic Guitars 1 and 2, Cinematic Keys, HAVOC
Impact Soundworks - Shreddage
MusicLab Real Guitar
MusicLab Real LPC

KeepForest Evolution Devastator Warzone (Free Edition)

KeepForest Ferrum (Free Edition)

KeepForest Risenge (Free Edition)

 

Alex Rome Sound Eternal and Mainstage Vocal Collection

 

Duende Sounds Evince

 

that's pretty much the most important part (probably less than half of what i own).

I still didn't release anything with the newer libraries or Sample packs tho.

 

[TDM]

I sometimes combine the same instruments of different brands to get a rich/different sound. But other than that i only play with EQ, compressors some effects and other dynamics to get a different sound or I get myself a new library 😅 . I focused a bit too much on my writing skills than my editing skills 🙃

[TDM]

Oh those are some good idea to be honest. You really made me think about creating my own sounds. I mean, I thought about it some time ago but not really seriously. 

I think now it's a good time to try something new 😄

[TDM]

Thanks @VoiceEx, this will really help me on my first try 😁

I should have an usb-condenser microphone somewhere at home (it's from Guitar Hero 😂) i guess it should work. 

Problem is that I need free time for that. If i can manage to try it this week i will totally load up my results 😅

[Gtar Pkr]

Wow! Lots of nice arrangements there!

 

"Still none published..."??

I wonder if that could be due to a simple matter of sound?

While sampling through your "Soundcloud" I noticed that every recording was very "bright".

 

Welcome to SS!

I'll keep that in mind @VoiceEx, thank you 😄

And my brother is bringing his Oculus when he visits me in about a month, gonna be my first time on Beat Saber 😅

Thank you for the warm welcome @Gtar Pkr 😄
Yes all my Electro-Pop projects are still a bit far from being finished (same as tons of orchestral ones). But the reason is that I don't find enough time to really sit down and finish those. Sometimes I also lack the mood to work on them. Though this time I had another project to finish first - my second collab with Carl Davies (will publish that soon... hopefully). The newest song in my "spotlights" on Soundcloud is the first collab.
 

I hope you meant "bright" in a good way 😅 I'm still trying to get a better quality.

Look forward to hearing it!

We'll revisit sound later then lol, see you out there
