My second (and last) piece for AIM 2016. It is rather simplistic this time due to the artwork. It´s just piano and string quartett this time (with some downtempo percussion). I don´t know what I thought when I made the double time part close to the end but I liked it somehow...

The track was inspired by this beautifully, abstract artwork from Fridher ( http://fridher.newgrounds.com/ ). Here is a link to the original art:

Hey! Thanks a lot! Glad you like it. The track is CC, so feel free to use it if you give credits for non-commercial stuff. If you plan to get filthy rich and make millions with it send me a pm before ;)

Finally listening to this now, and I am blown away by the atmosphere! It's incredible.
Great use of both the piano and the string quartette. The percussion adds a lot as well; what did you use for it?

You also know how to make good use of dynamics :O
I like the simple ending too. It's good that you weren't afraid to make it too slow. Atmospherical pieces kind of lose a bit of charm if they feel rushed :)

Awesome job, dude!

Azhthar responds:

Hey! Thanks for the awesome feedback! I hope Japan was good ;)
Actually I think although the track is a bit repetitive already it wouldn´t have harmed the piece if I would have made the buildup even slower... The percussion I used was from Damage (exept these thundernoises at the beginning which was rain after granular synthesis and filtering).

I'm a sucker for Ambient tracks, I just love how the intro feels so cinematic and booming. I hear explosions in the background, as if a full-scale war is being fought between God knows what factions, with what ideologies and lives at stake. The strings are nice, maybe with a little bit of extra reverb they would have worked just fine for this track, though I understand if you probably didn't want to abuse it.
Pretty swell composition, I like it

Azhthar responds:

Hey! Thanks a lot!! It´s good to hear that the music can generate some pictures ;) I thought about more reverb, on the strings, too, but I was afraid to drown them.... I liked your submission, too! Good idea to include the vocals ;)
