---- So here I am again after a long absence from Newgrounds. I've decided to return with a bang and as a result, I'm uploading a song which I believe is honestly one of my best tracks, and also the one which I worked hardest and longest on.
This track will serve 2 purposes, It will first and foremost serve as my submission to the Orchestral MAC 2012, hosted by BrokenDeck. It's a pretty large competition with some of the greatest names on Newgrounds regards Orchestral music (such as PeterSatera, Bosa, Supersteph54, samulis, etc), so I doubt I'll make it that far, but I can honestly say I gave it my all.
The song's second purpose will be as the Title track of my new album (Eye of the Dragon) which I will be uploading on my Bandcamp Account (erikscerri.bandcamp.com)
. I am uploading this Title track on Newgrounds as a preview of this album, which will be available soon.
Regards the song's production, this track is a result of 41 hours, 38 minutes of work. It is also my longest track to date, and definitely my most detailed. I spent a lot of time humanizing, desyncing, harmonizing and EQing to attain as much perfection as I could. I know quality isn't such a high factor in this MAC, but I still tried to give as much realism as I could.
Regards instruments and orchestration, I used: violins, violas, cellos, double basses, flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, french horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, harp, piano, alto singers, bass singers, tenor singers, 2 solo singers, a range of percussions (cymbals, timpanis, godzilla hits, djembe, etc), koto, accoustic guitar, xiao, dizi, electric bass, clean electric guitar, glockenspiel and probably some others which I'm forgetting.
As for credits, I can't list all the people who helped me with this here, because I'd never finish, but I'd primarily like to thank Supersteph54 for giving me a shit-tonne of criticism and tips and Logical-Defiance for his help.
So that's it I guess. 267 Patterns, 128 Automations, 67 Play Instances, 164 Bars and 41 hours of work spread over 2 months. I sure hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed making it. Feedback is very much appreciated!
Enjoy!!!

It's a fantastic piece for sure, but I think it should have been tad more dynamic. I'm not too sure how to say this in English, but the overall emotional output of the song ranged from epic and heroic to gentle and heroic, and that's it. It tells a story, but it's a one-sided and therefore less interesting story, in my opinion.
I hope that even made sense :/
Yeah it kinda made sense. I tried to make the piece as emotional as possible and it might not work out with everyone, which is entirely fine.
Thanks for the review! :)

I've never heard so many instruments in a single piece...i was lost, i was on an epic journey in my mind...it was movie trailer epic honestly my first impression was more drums in the beginning, but the drums were definitely made up for in the end. I think you have a fighting chance in the competition with this track! Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to so many comments most artist don't do that...congrats on front page!
Heh, that sure was a whole lot of instruments :P
Thanks for the review!
