Good premise.

Keep it simple, stupid. An excellent premise to build a piece on. And you do that all the time. Often creating things that are well defined in their own way.

This is especially important for games, movies and similar entertainment pieces which have other things occupying the audience' mind. Thus a clear motif is the part they remember when considering the music/audio.

You've done that in this piece. Which makes it perfect for the animation. Though I wonder just a tad about the content.

Content should be appropriate to that which it is intended to embody. In this particular point, the Ocean's bottom.

I don't suppose you've actually seen much of what goes on down there. Have you?

Because peaceful is something I'd hardly call it. Or at least, you could say it might seem that way...

Except for the great proliferation of fanged and clawed nasties that like to munch on each other. I'm serious. The undersea creatures are demented horror shows. They're weird, they're wonderful and they're utterly horrifying.

But there's a lot of beauty down there too. Luminescent plankton and other creatures live down there in abundance, plants and corals specially adapted have inspired artists ever since they were discovered. I shouldn't have to point out that Avatar took much of it's inspiration from the stuff down there.

No. Calm just doesn't quite fit. While the song may be very appropriate for a moonlit lake or snorkel run. The ocean's bottom is a beautifully wicked place. A place to inspire the most demented of artists, and the ones who just like to stare in awe at those utterly impossible creatures down there.

Also. Water is a horrible, implacable enemy. It's a tempest when whipped up by the wind, and a patient foe when beating against the walls of stone in cliffs. It wears away endurance and heat when you swim in it, and wears away the hardest of stone. Water is a beautiful thing when calmed, but when enraged it is a terrible, terrible foe.

Essentially. Do your research. Whatever theme you wish to encompass, ensure that you've covered your bases properly when it comes to knowledge, so that you know how to represent it properly.

I'm only deducting one mark because I believe your friend would have found it entirely appropriate, and would have been more than satisfied. But had you been attempting to do a standalone piece, I would have docked many more points for relevance.

The song is otherwise very good. It creates a very calming atmosphere and you've certainly hit that particular mood smack on the head. It would also be very very appropriate in a song. So kudo's well done.

Just remember to know what you're playing about next time.

Krayon.

Nice

Very soothing low strings and the piano, as always, is beautiful :3 I've loved how you've put syncopated rhytms into your pieces giving them a poppish feel while keeping it classy. Nice litte change up near the end. I would love to hear what you could do when using dissonances similar to eric whitacre are put into your pieces. Absolutely beautiful again my friend :3
