:yes: I could totally picture a show to that, like I was at Disney World.  Good job! Planning a future in this?

Nicely done. One comment - some sequences sounded very Batman-esque (Val Kilmer era)

Doesn't really sound like music for martial arts, but in and of itself it's pretty good. :)

[color=66ff00]Very good.
Did they put on a demo for you to allow you to orchestrate the timing of the music to their moves?

Why did you change styles though? The introductory section had a fairly oriental vibe to it which then switched into a sort of Danny-Elfman-esque industrial feel.

Not that I think that this is a bad thing, just strange.

Heya!
Thanks for the comments, guys! :)

...we recorded the choreography, once it was done and then I tried to make something out of it...it worked out pretty good, although we had just around...something like six hours for actual practise with the music.

@EtherShock: Planning? Yes, indeed...now it would just start off and pass the planning point... :rolleyes:

BTW, about the Batman thing...noticed it afterwards. It contains a small Batman-motive (with different timing tho). That happened definately not intentionally. About the era. In fact, that motiv was used in the Batman film of 89, that Elfman scored... :)

Why I changed styles...well, I just kept working and it kinda fitted to the picture. Apart from that...traditional asian instruments often have a comic like character to me...and the show was rather meant to be dark (somehow...almost all martial arts show are...mmmh...next time it'll be funny ;)), so I sticked with the modern orchestra type, when it came to the faster passages...
