Hy!
I must say this song is really impressive. Altough I couldn't hear out the story-elements you pictured in the comment, the song was build up wonderfully. The instruments were sounding outstanding - almost like a real orchestra. Especially the woodwinds were brilliant.
I was missing the "chase" scene - there were not much dinamic parts in there (or at least they weren't recogniseable for me) but the "dancelike" part was great.
With some more dinamic melodies, some percussion or even with staccato woodwinds it could have been even better but in this for is great to (= faved and fived:))
Great job mate, keep up the great work!

Thank you! In a sense it was a real orchestra, just a small one, there were 17 or 18 performers.

Hy!
I liked this track very much - it had it's developement, and a constant structure. You could feel that this is one big song. And I loved the slower parts.
This is a calming and relaxing piece - it's almost like a painting for me only with sounds. Wonderfull... like a classical piece.
Congrats!

Hy!
Great sounds and quality. I loved it - especially at 1:30 with the key change... great job.
Liked the percussions and the end too and the choir was fitting too. The beginning was like "The Rock" - really military like and epic.
Freat job! I loved it.

... since I've heard the first tunes!
Hy Skragga!
So I had to grab my keyboard and write a review about this song. It's great! I loved the instruments you used here and how you varied the same melody all over the song. Great job.
I loved it all around. I don't know how vengefull it is but nevertheless it's a great song. I loved it - especially that the song is a big one piece: has it's beginning and it's end, no sudden cut, sudden fade out.
About you mentioned in the comments: I'm absolutely the same case: epic/sad/noble/ moods are easier to compose for me as a happy track. And even if I try to make such it becomes epic, and always has a sad edge.
So Congratulations!
5/5, 10/10 favd!

I almost always make my songs sound complete, making a full intro and outro, except for songs that are ment to loop (e.g. Bloodstained Sunrise).
I already noticed the melody thing about your work for sure :)
Thanks for all the compliments about teh song, glad you liked it!

"This song is a calm island in this running world"
Hy maestro!
As I can see you're not wasting your time! And the instruments in your songs become more and more realistic.
This song - as I mentioned in the summary - is a wonderfull and calming piece. I could sit here and listen to it eternally. The flute reminded in some parts to Lord of the Rings hobbyt theme but only with some notes I think. And the flute instrument has some wonderfull quality. I thought at some parts that this is maybe a real instrument plaied by someone...
The other great sounding instrument is the cello (violin?) - a bit sad but rather uplifting and calming. Simple and wonderfull as I could tell about this song too. Nothing too variated but effective.
Great job again maestro! 5/5, 10/10 and faved as so many times before. Keep up your great work!

Hy maestro!
I'm glad to listen to your newest submission and I'm glad to hear that you're back to crush some more >:)
The electronig gitar was a great sound - it totally reminds me to a soundtrack but I can't tell you wich one... Besides this - it 'rocks' in all meanings. The choir staccato is also great...
But the thing that most caught my ears are the brass (or french horn?) riffs as the blows before a new segment (as at 1:40) and the brass staccatos are also beyond superb quality... I whis I could have such stuff... I'd gladly pound around with them...
To be honest I havent heard the low 'plucked' staccato pizz stings... I understand the concept and the image you wanted to show it this way, but at the beginning it was a bit too random (for me of course). After that you arranged them in a more rythmic way - I liked that. Maybe something that could have been more usefull in the beginning too...
Otherwise nothing to complain about... only that you've forgotten to write some review about my latest tracks. >:)
So great work as usual. Keep it up! 5/5, faved, 10/10, oscar and golden globe nomination and whatever you whis..:)

ah yes, I just recently found the trumpet and trombone flutter, which is what you hear at 1:40 and at the beginning (think around 0:23). They added a great quality to the song I don't think I could have achieved otherwise.
The brass staccatos are actually a very big blend of everything I had in the brass section. By themselves they have a rather flimsy and uninspiring sound. However blended together and enforced at certain areas i've found that they can make a very gritty, very rough texture which was very ideal for this song.
I realize the beginning was random, and this is kinda how I wanted it. Having it pluck with the rhythm just seemed... not to work. I mean the flash portal doesn't vote on a flash in a predictable fashion. You get a cluster of high votes, then a cluster of bad, a mess of both, etc etc. This is why I did it the way it did. I agree whole heartedly with you, for story telling purposes, it had to be done.
I forgot about your new track X(! Thank you for the reminder, i'll get to it right away! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Altough I'm a bit exhausted I could get held back myself writing a review. I was really cuorios what you've created this time.
You mentioned you were just playing around with the instruments and such but I could feel (and every track of yours is like that) that you had a straight and clear vision you wanted to picture with your music.
This time the song is more string heavy than the others but the flute-like instrument is there too. I like the percussion set in the beginning. Really diverse and gives a good plus to the song.
After the first minute you've started the string heavy part. A lower end strings would give more deepness to the song after my opinion but otherwise it's great in this way. I like the way you organised the stings and the crashes.
Good job again. I like your style, keep up the good work!
5/5, 10/10, faved.

The percussion used here I had created for some older songs. Those songs were more percussion based, but for this new one I wanted more strings. The flute is one of my favourite instruments, at least for now, so I can't help using it for flavour. Plus, I played with some mixer settings to make the sounds a bit clearer than my other songs. But this is a track that I could not fit thematically into any precise idea. It's mostly improvisation, it's kind of how I felt at the moment. Thank you for the review and vote.

After two of your songs I couldn't go pass your first track submitted on NG.
And I'm not dissapointed listening to it. The songs mood is rather similar to Sweet Surrender but it's not a problem. I loved the dark atmosphere it sets and the constant build-up.
Again great flute-like sound.
I love the strong atmosphere you creates every time in your songs. It's almost touchable in the music.
Again 5/5, 10/10 and faved. I've added you to my favourit composers list too. I'll watch your work as my time enables to me. Keep up the great work!

Hy there again!
This is the second time that I feel I have to write a review to your songs. This one is pure emotional and deep song - I love how you created and instrumentated this one too. The flute-like sound was an absolutely chilling one - it gave me a shiver to hear it with the whole melody.
And these chymes-like sounds were also a great addition. The whole song had a fantastic atmosphere and had a great harmonic sound. It's a pleasure to hear it over and over.
Congratulations mate! Keep up this great work!
5/5, 10/10 and faved!

Hy!
I loved the complexity of the whole track! Altough the beggining percussions was a bit like a chaotic set up but after a while I could figure out the rythmics.
Otherwise this song is a wonderfully constructed and instrumented one - I could feel that the main character steps closer and closer to his origin - his home... Beautifully created atmosphere. I give this track to my favs and fived.
Great job!
