A constant train of thought, similar to the styles of my 3rd-5th nocturne and my Requiem for the Great Citizen. Same story/idea as my previous submission, Dechire par la Distance.

Thank you everyone for listening

"Very calming"

date: April 16, 2009

I very much enjoyed this piece of music, I found it beautifully sorrowful. I am sure Mozart's contemporaries would have credited this sort of stuff well! :-)

"I wish I coulda played some of these in band..."

date: March 8, 2009

I've been sifting through some of your songs after hearing the intro to the "In my arms" colab. Your stuff is amazing! Each piece just screams out emotion and invokes so many stories and images in my mind when I listen to them. I can't help but keep listening to more songs. I really wish that I could have played some music like this back in band class during high school. If this level of emotion can be achieved through synthesized instruments, just imagine what real musicians could do!

"Great"

date: December 29, 2008

The buildup of intensity at the beginning is just great. The thing about it is it could go anyway. It builds up the tension, and the piece needs the melody and the key to define what that tense emotion is. With the entrance of the melody, that definition arrives, as a wistful and sad longing.

I hate to keep talking about one part, but I think that buildup of the string at the start does more than that; it adds a sense of fragility to the piece and to the emotion portrayed that really adds to the overall feeling.

You used the different instruments effectively, noting their timbres. One thing I like is when you introduct that slight happier melody (you know what I'm talking about). And it had that triplet in there that adds an effect on the theme that is trademark Winterwind lol. I love it when you do stuff like that.

What really brings this piece out, as I've said, is the fragility and poignancy of the melody and the emotion. The instrumentation is strong in that it further strengthens both these.

You did a great jarbs. Do some more lol.

"io have to ask..."

date: December 11, 2008

im sorry to be the one that sounds like a dick...but i have to ask...did you really compose this? i mean it sounds great? but did you play the violins that are in the song? the flute? all these different instruments..did you play them and record them or did you direct an orchestra? or is this synthesized or mixed violins from different places that you put together...i mean i dont know how this works so im just asking =D

ahh well iono how much you already know so i'll assume you know literally nothing. There's this thing called FL Studio (8 XXL) which is a program that hosts things called VSTs (virtual instruments) that creates sounds, in my case, imitates realistic instruments, ok i just realized i dont wanna explain this, sooooo
thanks for the 10.
