This track is for the NGMT contest that's currently going on. It's split into three rounds, and each round has a different theme and challenge. I couldn't take part in Round 1 since I had A-Levels but after I finished them I just had to take a shot at this round. I even asked Echo to help out, so this was a pretty ambitious project, especially since the challenge of this round was to make a track in 3 days! The theme which our tracks had to follow was:
"Biodome - On a new planet or future earth where the surrounding environment is hostile, a biodome is a place where normal life can still exist."

And we had this awesome artwork to inspire us:

The contest runs on a system of votes; whoever takes part is allowed to give in one vote. 16 people took part, 13 people gave in their votes, and this got a total of 4 votes, which was enough to win Round 2! There were plenty of other tracks who deserved to win though, and to be honest I'm surprised this actually came out on top!

For this track, I used:
East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver
Omnisphere
Sytrus
Vengeance

And Echo used:
East/West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum
East/West Symphonic Choirs
VOXOS
Cinebrass

We worked like crazy on this track. It was started a day late, so we only had two days. Over the course of those two days I worked on the track for a total of about 15 hours, and that's not even factoring out the amount of hours Echo worked on it as well!

Props to whoever got the object-oriented programming reference in the title by the way :3.

Hope you enjoy it!

Beautiful, I'm loving the ambient theme in the beginning coupled with that soft percussion. I think the orchestration and the arrangement are top notch, they splendidly convey the mood and that amazing space exploration atmosphere... I can't believe you came up with it in just 2 days. Simply five out of five and a new favourite.


Step responds:

;_; Thanks, that means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere especially; this is probably one of my most atmospheric tracks.

Thanks again!

Oof. I'm overwhelmed. I don't know why, but when I listen to your work, I always have a kind of movie playing in my head. That song that you both made is epic. I really liked the strong part at 2:50, but the whole song sounds and is epic, no exaggeration. I also liked the ending after the stronger part. It was a great way to end the song after that final climax.

Your song is fully worthy of his score and my 5/5. I seriously hope that you'll "Step" forward and do some even better songs with Echo, you are both Epic musicians. (With a capital "E")

(English isn't my native language, so don't mind if I did a few grammar mistakes or anything like that.)

Keep it up! ^^


Step responds:

Wow, that's some really high praise. I can't thank you enough. The strong part at 2:50 is something I'm particularly proud of, mainly since there was so much hype to get to it with that long buildup that once it finally comes I just threw everything I've got in it to make it sound as "massive" as possible. I wanted to add something climactic in there to highlight the enormity of the biodome I guess.

Your English is perfect by the way.

Thanks a lot for reviewing, means a lot!
