[200monkeys]

Never cease to amaze

It seems like every song I listen to has the same review I agree with, but seemingly with by different people. Just to continue such a tradition, I must say I have never heard a piece of yours I do not find amazing and beautiful.

As for the review before mine, I got the same image in my head before I even read your review. o.o Creepy.

It takes true talent to write a piece like this and at the same time "Rage of the Champions", two truly opposite songs.

And I must say, I prefer these more serene songs to your more action-packed songs. Mayhaps because your "action packed" ones would fit better in a film or something visual with them, while this song is less dependent on visuals (excluding mental visuals that is).

Please continue with this, for I know you have more fans than you could count :D

MaestroRage responds:

I personally like these types of tracks more too, not because they don't rely as much on mental imagery, but more so! At least in my books, because the song is moving slower, it has more time to let me wander, and let me create, and that is by far the most wonderful thing that music can let you do. On the other side of that coin, like you mentioned, it can potentially also serve to only soothe, to let the mind release it's active state, and drift for just a while, into emptiness.

I will continue for as long as I can 200monkeys, hopefully that will be for a long while, I am having far too much fun living in these worlds.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

A different approach to the story, if you will

The Audio Portal here has created a place for great imagination to flourish, both in the artists that compose masterpieces like this one and others, and for those who see what the music creates. Im going to take a different approach to this, if you dont mind, Maestro.

I see a young boy waking just after dawn, emerging from a small straw and rock hut on a damp and foggy morning near the seashore of old Ireland. Walking among an old, well-trodden path from his house, he smiles joyfully at the insects flitting about in the heavy morning air. He reachs out to touch the long, dew-covered leaves of the reeds along the trail as he saunters. He emerges from the trail right at 1:20 (as the choir enters) into a clearing right onto the fine sandy beach. I can see him standing, staring off into the distance as the water laps around him.

Truly well done! I love it Maestro.

MaestroRage responds:

I don't mind the new approach at all! In fact I would embrace a new story!

And what a story it was. The pure and unbridled peace and emotion inducing view is one I would sacrafice a lot to see. Sadly I must make do with my imagination, and though I closed my eyes and tried my hardest to live this boy's life, it was simply not enough... I will have to one day compose a piece for this story.

I thank you for the story PolarBearWP, and the review. I am glad you liked the piece.

I like it

Usually, I expect classical songs to have a BIG MOMENT or something, but this song made it very clear to me that that is not necessary.

MaestroRage responds:

It is usually a wise thing to have a big moment, unless the song is built to not have it, like this one. Steady, ambient, linear in emotion.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the late response :(

Speechless

As the boy stands before the ruins of such a happy place destroyed by man, as man see and hate one another it makes the demons cry to see such hatred. When demons cry places are destroyed and when demons cry to release an anger upon man.

That is why demons prey on men of hatred and war and when the innocent soul is met and shows heart and not violence, the demon accepts it.

You can call them demons, but I call them angels, angels referred to as demons by man.

You have made another great audio and I truly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Thank you for another great experience.

MaestroRage responds:

Hello TGO.

A very very interesting concept you have written here. I have never once thought of demons in this nature, and truth be told, it is very endearing.

Listening to this piece with your story, it sits very well, and opens up volumes of stories and ideas.

Thank you for THAT experience! I am glad you liked the piece, thank you again for the review. I apologize sincerely for the late response :(.

im glad im not a demon right now

got song reminds me a bit of FFX though
And u sure now how to make demons cry

MaestroRage responds:

I only decided to make this by seeing the demons cry themselves :(

and then they insulted my mother which sent me into a working spree.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it :D
