This is duel 2 between Mandi and I. The idea is to take a number of criteria and compose for one hour and see what we can come up with. The criteria this time around was chosen by me, which was as follows.

Key- C Minor
Lead Instrument - Oboe/Bassoon
Image- A lonely spirit lives in a giant ice cavern sitting on a large ice block, the place is well lit by refracted and bent light creating tons of shiny and colorful cold surfaces.

Her half is called "A Distant Dream"
The next half is mine called "Alone in Ice"

We hope you enjoy this duel! Let us know who you think won!

Overall I like both of the compositions - you both (rightly, I think) wrote softer, slower pieces that express that lack of movement and activity in the image. I like the higher chime-like sounds in "Alone in Ice" that really express the crystalline, fragile nature of the environment.

My one small criticism would be that I'm not sure that using counterpoint around 2:36 is very effective. The lonely spirit is alone, so having two melodies working together does not seem appropriate.

Great job overall, though.

"Masterful"

The audio portal is so troublesome. I'd love to be more critical of the things I listen to, but it always seems that I run into too much quality... anywho, the last time I reviewed one of your works was February of last year -- I figure it's time to get back on the Maestro (and LadyArsenic) bandwagon.

A duel huh? Well, I do hate to say this, but I think you lost Maestro... Mandi's felt more natural. No disrespect or anything, but the haunting environmental effect was just devastatingly effective in the beginning.

I figure that although artists like to read compliments all the time, we reviewers should be critical too, so a few things of note -- these are both minor comments and are both addressed at Maestro:

- I felt that the high strings (probably intended to increase the drama in the piece) at around 2:07 were a bit... shrill. That might've been the intention, but I think it also might've been my speakers -- I adjusted them and it seemed to feel much more natural.

- Though I love the bassoon, I don't think it worked as well in the piece as the oboe did in the opening. That just might be out of my personal preference though.

As for compliments -- well, you guys know that you're great by now. I don't need to inflate your ego. :D

Cheers, and good luck!
