Reviews for "Sanctuary"
Step responds:
D'aww thanks :3.
This was very enjoyable.
Step responds:
Thank you very much!
This is... epic! You're a real music genius! The song and the story fits real well. It starts with a gentle music, then getting more "fiery", it's like telling the feeling of "struggling"... or something like that, then it gets gentle again, the composition is awesome! I downloaded this XD
Step responds:
Hey, thanks a lot for the review! I'm glad you liked the mood changes and the composition.
Thanks again, much appreciated :3.
You and your orchestral genius... I swear dude, if I had half the talent you had... well, I don't know. But it'd probably be awesome.
Description: TL;DR: This is an awesome song that took a LOT of work, time, and CPU.
Overall, this thing sounds like it's for the intro of some epic movie that takes place in the medieval era, and there's dragons and wizards and trolls involved in some way.
I'm not really sure how to give any criticism on this, being this good, great composition, awesome use of orche-- HOLY SHIT THIS WAS MADE WITH A DAW?!?!?!?!1? (Joking of course, already read the description. ;)) So I figure I'll give some vague ideas for a possible movie or Flash or something.
First minute is like your "so and so productions presents... in association with blah blah blah pictures... and music by Stephan Wells... yada yada yada pre-title credits... TITLE IN BIG LETTERS!!!"
The middle seems like a "we are now showing several views of the town this story takes place around," and see a shadowy figure run past the camera for a split second, we switch for a few more views, then we see them again; it's a young boy around 12 or something who later turns out to be the hero or something.
Then the ending is like he catches up with his best friend who later sticks with him for most of the movie (and dies near the end from a self-sacrifice or something), they have a small conversation before we switch to the town square or something, where they meet with someone else just before someone runs in injured for some mysterious reason...
Man, I just read all that, and realized if I can make all that up, why can't I write a freaking 5-page essay?!
Anyways, awesome work, man. Stuff like this is why you're on my favorites list. :D

Hey man, thanks for yet another detailed, large review!
"You and your orchestral genius... I swear dude, if I had half the talent you had... well, I don't know. But it'd probably be awesome."
Haha thanks! A lot of it comes naturally though. I don't know much music theory and all I know about making music is from personal experience, rather than research. So yeah, even though you call it a talent, a lot of it is just thanks to over three years of experience.
"Description: TL;DR: This is an awesome song that took a LOT of work, time, and CPU."
Yeah I could've just written that :3.
"Overall, this thing sounds like it's for the intro of some epic movie that takes place in the medieval era, and there's dragons and wizards and trolls involved in some way."
Did someone say Skyrim?!

Lol thanks!

Wow, it's awesome to think that my song made you think up all that! It's also great to know that my music sounds like it'll fit well in a movie, since while I'll probably be a programmer or something when I grow up, I think film scoring is really cool.
"Anyways, awesome work, man. Stuff like this is why you're on my favorites list. :D"
Heh, good to know! Thanks a lot for the awesome review!
I'm working on a fantasy story, and this music is really helping to put me in the mood to work on it, and come up with ideas. It's really good, and gives me a lot of great images. Remind me to contact you about putting this in the trailer if I ever get a movie deal :P
