The world of dreams is indescribable, immeasurable, inconceivable; we wander through it often, but cannot understand it. The journey through a child's dreams is even more boundless, and, being young, and not yet reaching his full potential, he has visions of himself becoming great, heroic even, but these are just dreams, and just like all dreams, the self-ambition of becoming great fades back into the serenity of abstraction...

This pwns whatever the hell retards we have composing the crap I play in Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Its a very emotional piece, that changes with flowing like a river or a stream. Very cinematic, and its beautiful. I cant say much else really.

I love this some ( and so I'm going to tell u a story that i made and sounds like it...) it's sounds like your dreaming walking around then it feels like memories come and you sometimes feel happy & sad but then something a surprise came and you were so happy like you were a child giggling around but then some one took your parents away then you felt so sad you were going to cry then someone tries to cheer you up and you felt better then you stayed in your house.. alone then you knew that this needs a remodel so you remodeled it and it was so beautiful it made you so happy then they came again and you decided don't give or cry in the end you woke up and found out that you were in your bed but you noticed you lived in the same house you remodeled. and so that was it hope you reply ^^

Yay storytime.
That's pretty much what I had envisioned prior to and while writing this. You had a different take on what the dreams were, but that was interesting and I could see it working with this piece just as well.
Thanks for dropping by. I'm glad you seem to enjoy a lot of my songs :]

If I rate you against the other composers on this site it's because I don't know how the review the piece based on its own merits. If I compare you with cinematic composers I'm missing the mark by about five miles seeing as though this is programmatic it clearly does not function as a film soundtrack. If I compare you with the student composers that are studying composition around the world and give you a 3 it's to inflate myself as one of said composition students. If I compare you with the greatest composers of all time I'm not actually helping you at all, I just sound like a douche for comparing apples with oranges. And here is a list of names I like to throw around like certificates of how well rounded I believe I am as a musician, and also just to sound like I'm helping you when in reality I'm mostly showing off
(I mean, you obviously haven't heard of Stravinsky, what a no-name).

Who knows, maybe I had good intentions? Maybe, until I send you an obnoxious PM full of baseless accusations.

Hey would you look at this! It's right underneath this text box I'm typing in:

"If you are giving this submission a low score, please offer constructive criticism that will be useful to the artist. The review space is not a place for you to act like a total asshole."

ANYWAY, you captured your mood very well, sometimes I wanted a fuller orchestration because the celesta has a tough time supporting the texture by itself. Slightly unrelated: whatever happened to your GPO :( Back to the orchestration comment, it's really a question of texture and supporting the more mobile and essential elements at spot like 3:52 where the drama could be enhanced by some subtle additions that don't take away from the skeleton already outlined there (melody, violin runs, bass line), same thing with the couple of spots with timpani and horn/clarinet (and eventually violin) melody.

Blahdiblah, anyhow amazing work, see ya ;)

this really brings back like final fantasy moments for me (which is a good thing since i'm a huge nobuo uematsu fan) i would love to hear this by a professional orchestra, there's a simplisity to it which really makes you drift along with the music, like an actual dream, but very powerful at the end, i loved every bit of it, in fact i'd be honored if you would critique my song. thanks a lot for writing this beautiful piece and good luck in the future
