Powerful

Nice opening chords. Though I have to agree with Gravey, the arpeggiating strings could probably use some work. Not only does it seem to be highlighting some odd notes, but I think in general it's just a little too loud. Given how their range is generally much higher than everything else playing at the time, it could probably stand to be a little quieter.
Though in saying that, the ones that come in at 0:44 work very well. VERY well. At 1:25 now and I the one fault I can find is with the arpeggiating strings. The piano and brass entries are very nice, very powerful. Especially at the 1:50 mark, where everything kind of culminates.
The build-up is nice and structured, in general it's got a lot of promise. Even if this is a WIP, it almost works as a loop by itself.
It's got the promise of a beautifully majestic air, I'd be really interested to see how this sounds once you're done with it. Nice effort, overall. 7/10, 4/5.

well, when i get the final product out, i'll definitely let you know my friend.

It sounds like it could turn out to be something very nice. I think the velocity on the arpeggiating strings feels a bit odd. I think they are emphasizing some odd notes in their pattern. Maybe rethink that a bit, but they do sound nice overall.

I like how it is building up with the legato strings and brass. It has a nice fat sound, which lends itself to building nicely. I'm excited to hear the final product my friend. :-)

3/4 and 5/10 overall. As always I'll wait to hear the final product in order to give a real score.

I fixed the Strings, and i'm thinking about adding a guitar solo in after the demo ends. with the right distortion it would sound kickass. of course id be the one playing it :)

Beautiful and strong

Thsi is a simply wonderful piece. Starts out beautiful, then gets stronger and more warlike. It's coming along wonderfully. I am thinking what'll be added is a kind of battle part, then a solumn after-war. Well constructed.

Very Nice

I like it, it's very subtle and solemn, but powerful nonetheless

Theledge93 responds:

thank you.
