So I'm about to go to bed after a shitty day at work. My mind keeps coming back to James Horner's inspiring score for Avatar. James Horner has long been my favorite composer, my musical idol, and one of my biggest influences. I went to see the movie mostly because he scored it, but came away surprised and impressed overall.
Anyways, here's my first attempt at some of the music from the Avatar OST. It's from the track "Becoming One with Neytiri/Becoming One of the People." It was performed live on my Roland RD-700 with the SRX-11 expansion card. Hope you all like it ^_^
It's 4AM here and I'm surprised my upstairs neighbors haven't stomped on the floor and shouted that Eywa has heard me and to go to bed. Comments always welcome.

Critique - You should add variation to the timing of the melody. The melody's notes are separated by either 1 barline, half a barline or a quarter of a barline. I'm not sure if that's the right term used - if it isn't, the song plays at a beat-per-minute of 120ish. The melody's notes are separated by either 1 beat, two beats or four beats, it seems.
I think the challenge with this particular score from James Horner is there aren't a lot of passages that translate well to piano, or even just solo piano pieces, like in his scores for Titanic or Bicentennial Man. This piece in particular is a full orchestra, boys choir, ethnic chanting, and a host of other instruments that have long sustain times. But you do make a good point and I'll keep working on it :)
