"Great!"
date: December 30, 2008
Hey, sorry I didn't get to this till now. I read your PM and then forgot about it... :P.
but anyhow, I think this is a great song! Very atmospheric and often subtle with the instrumental layering. I personally would've like to see a more intense climax, but that's just a matter of a composer's preference.
I agree that the software sounds great! It's very realistic, I may need to upgrade my own software some time...
The only complaint I have about the song is that in the beginning that high percussion note doesn't really fit in too well. Although it's percussion, it has a tonal quality, and keeping the note its playing constant wasn't really fitting with the chord progression, and it was kind of diverting the mood that you were trying to create.
Other than that, great work! I don't mind the PM at all, in fact, I appreciate artists letting me know when they release new works!

Author's Response:
Thanks for the review, Sycross. I assume that, with the percussion, you're talking about the anvils. I can see how that might conflict with the tonal aspects of the rest of the piece; but I'll have to listen closely to see if I can detect it. I thought I paid close enough attention to that, but I'll go back and have a few more listens.
In retrospect, I think that I could have done better with the climax. Then again, me adjusting that depends if I can make time to put that on my list of things to do haha.
The new software is incredible and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. Well worth the money (yes a lot of money) spent on that. I would also recommend you have around 4 GB to run it because I run out of ram ALL the time with 2 GB. Ah well.
I'm glad that you liked this one, I'll let you know when I post up some other pieces. Thanks again for the review!
