Since I haven't composed anything new in a little while (remixes don't count as compositions :-P) so I decided that I would show you guys what I have been working on for the past couple days

It isn't finished, as all I have is and intro-ish part followed by a verse. (Which are kind of similar btw)

Please give me some C + C on this one, because I am experimenting with different instruments and such and I would like to know if I am getting the right idea. Don't be afraid to tell me if I am completely off either

It is titled 'Through the Burning Fields' because, well for some reason, when I listen to it, I hear a sort-of fire-ish quality... very hard to explain

Its a good start.

Try not to loop things too much though, if you need to loop something then you should altar it with either different instruments or adding more melody / harmony. This way it wont sound too repetitive.

e.g. after playing the main idea twice through, add another instrument playing the same melody a 3rd above the old idea. This will create a good harmony to the melody and it wont make it sound repetitive.

You could even add a whole new section in the middle where the chords change for a bit (only about 4 bars (or measures)) and then return back to the main idea.

That's pretty cool. I like the semi-haste feeling it has where you aren't sure if you're supposed to out-run a forest fire or just chill in a generally less-than hospitable place. It can be used in both instances.

Thanks man, I appreciate that I was thinking the same exact idea about the less-than hospitable, only in my vision, I had some sort of dictator in mind.. possibly some evil guy that just happens to be your friend, with burning torches or something in his place

Well, it is a cool sound you have there.
Oh, and an oboe

I would have to agree with epithika though; it is rather repetive and would do good with either some alternations or (at least in my opinion) more melodical passages here and there. Perhaps sooth the whole thing down a while in and put up a part with harp arpeggio and a flute, then erupting out into that more rhytmic theme again.
Or a cembalo... yeah, that could sound really good in this song.
