Some dramatic chillstep with a hint of epic orchestral elements.

If you're the kind of person that seeks thrills and what ever, just skip the intro by forwarding to 0:53. I don't recommend it, I'm just putting it out there in case you are super impatient.

Enjoy!

The intro and the drop dont actually fit in one whole song.
They both sound differently really. and the part at 1:55 is a bit overdone.

I love the style you based the track on, the eerie, classical style piano however I felt the dubstep could've been approached differently, I personally don't like all the high frequency synths used in the main chorus section, however the arp is very nice. I think this track would've benefited it more if you made it more minimalistic like the old dubstep vibes,rather than the punchy "in your face" style of dubstep you was going for. In relation to the intro I think It would've been nicer if you used more deep, sub heavy bass sounds that the wide, sustained bass synths. I also felt your drums lacked the weight which could've been fixed with tidier EQing and compression. overall its a nice track with an interesting atmosphere that could've been aproached differently

Kabalist responds:

I have also considered changing the vibe of the chorus to something bassier. I appreciate the constructive criticism, and I will certainly take note on this for the benefit of my music. Thank you, neB!

Thrills don't always have to come through fast-paced genres! I enjoy every intense moment as a thrill, such as your wonderful piano that starts of the track. I do have to say though that your drop is pretty messy and seems to be forsaking a lot of clarity in exchange for loudness. It's interesting because I've never really listened to chillstep as dramatic as this one. It's usually very minimalistic with some ambient themes. Or maybe I just don't listen to enough of it. What would you recommend?

I love arps, and the one in this piece is no exception. I always find plucked arps to be great in orchestral pieces because they just seem add an aura of mystery and epicness to everything. All in all, this is a good track that unfortunately has some noise conflict diluting the mix. Nothing some EQ tweaking can't solve.

Kabalist responds:

I'm really glad you liked the intro! I've been working on the mix lately, and this song is currently undergoing some changes.

Well, people define chillstep in different ways. I think what separates chillstep from any *insert random word here*-step is that it doesn't necessarily focus on a bunch of wobbly mumbo jumbo, but instead creates room for other musical aspects which, in this case, is orchestral elements.

If you haven't already, you should check out NG-user Haywyre. He's a great artist, although he might be more in the dubstep area.

Thank you for the constructive criticism, Josh! Sorry for the late response.
Take care.
