Well, it might be more interesting if you sped up the tempo. There's not really a good melody in there, though. Your attempt at melody just sounds kinda random. The whole bass routine got REALLY boring after using it during the whole song.

yeah it gets a little boring after a while. make some chorus and add some instrumen repeating the "melody" a marimba perhaps?
stringswells playing the bass note and the fifth may enhance it a little but dont over use that.

thats all the pointers I have at the moment.

thanks for the ideas, ill try them when i get home

edit:
i made some changes to it, also i understand its slow, but when i set the tempo to 175 it doesnt seem to export at that tempo, if anyone knows how to get Sibelius export at a differnt tempo can you tell me.

if you want sibelius to export at a different tempo then just right click anywhere and chose text and then metronome mark. click inside the white box and choose the fourth note and then type in =175

the song...

the changes that you made made it a little more interesting. it sounds really wierd towards the end though.


edit: after closer inspection I yhink this song is strangely notated. the three begining notes in the bass klef of the piano should be at the end of the previous bar... am I making any sense? if you change this it will be probably be alot less complicated.

and hey IŽll post some ideas for you

sorry that I took a very long time to answer.

It gets a bit repetitive. Maybe a stronger melody would cover that up. ;) The strings are nice as well. The timing gets a little bit awkward by the end (for the piano, I mean).

Try finishing it; it's not that bad. :)
