This is a whopper of a composition, wow. I'm sitting around the two minute mark before 35 seconds and already awed with your use of that choir. It sounds quite organic for a synth, and of course beautiful chugs. Your composition surpasses the limitations of those violin leads -- long my least favorite synth, and your writing is pensive and pleasing to the ear.
The proceeding section is thoughtful and full of soul. Loving the progression.
4:22 sounds great, I think some of the best guitar writing I've heard from you. Some of the articulations on the guitars could use more modulation on the velocity, but it's a synth with probably less round robins than we want, who cares. The piece is so far wonderfully varied, yet remains in the same character.
5:51 is brilliantly transitioned into and gives a sense of awe. I'm amazed I haven't gotten bored. I generally see such a long track, eyeballs widen, and I question whether I have the attention span to finish.
6:50 is another nice shift in tonality. I think it may be my favorite so far. I'm amazed this song has received so little attention relative to its quality. I'm curious as to your flute library, bass amp, and what you used to get that gorgeous clean chorused tone.
Actually, I wanna know how much RAM you think you had stacked on back in 2013.
8:46 sounds like a breakdown from a song all its own. Is that Emissary amp? Sounds familiar.
Leads are really nicely written through 9:32. Could have probably used either a legato through the runs or keyswitched some double pick noises so the attacks sound less machine gunny, but I'm really just nitpicking here.
10:28, the strings sound pretty synthy, but as with everything throughout, your writing really triumphs over the limitation of the software.
Through 11:08, I really love your chugging. Shredding to hell. The cutoff is a bit abrupt therefrom, could use a mute noise to complement the cymbal choke, but again, nitpicking. The composition flows naturally from that moment and had I not been writing this as I listen, I would have totally forgotten about it.
12:43, the deathmarch is in full swing, and I recognize where I've heard this melody before. Guitars coming in sound pristine. Some of the higher powerchords don't sound quite as intense -- I think that's just the samplebank itself being quite mid-heavy and chunky.
So far so good as we move on into the next marching snare section. Your cinematic percussion here carries very well, and I enjoy the dissonant locrian and harmonic minor elements going on here. If I used a wrong word -- oh well it's been years since I took theory and myself compose largely by ear. Can't wait to see what else we have in store.
15:53, my anime face is uwu at that entrance. Blazing fast, and low tuned baritone guitar on the rhythm. I always feel like you're pushing the envelope for what synths will and won't do under pressure. A swell finale.
Aaaand now I've finished and can solidly say thanks for the recommendation. Remind me to snag some more of your albums :3
