Hi Jake!

Quite interesting. I think that there is a bit of over use of percussion especially in the central section. Tubular bells are better used ti pick out cadence points etc rather than be used as a melody line.

It definitely portrays the title well!

Thanks. And i am quite aware of my chimes (tubular bells) repeating a lot, but i thought it added to the song quite nicely. Anyhow, I might think aobut changing it- but then again i may not.

Thanks for your thoughts =)

I'm not sure what to make of this - is it meant as incidental music, game music or a concert piece?
I did try but it wasn't desolate enough to be desolate nor powerful enough to be martial. A little more reverb might make it darker, and quietening the V-motif after it's initial entry in favour of other voices getting through may help.
However, you're the composer - it's your call.
Cheers,
Reith

Yeah? I don't think of myself as negative or positive. Your original post said "Comments please".

It would have been nice to know what the music is for as I could focus my comment better. However, if what I said is unacceptable, just say and I'll delete it.

cheers,
Reith.
