very nice

wow im glad i came to your page. this was a very nice piece. relaxing indeed. kind of reminded me a bit of Joe Hisaishi especially the soft piano. what program do you use if you don't mind me asking? the flute sounds were great. my only recommendation would be to try and make the piano less programmed sounding unless you are trying to get that video game style sound in which case it works.

anyhow, the first song i submitted is a classical one. id be interested in knowing what you think and if you have any ideas on how to finish it.

5/5!

I've never heard of Joe Hisaishi... but now I must find out who this artist is! I love landscape music like this, and if he does the same, then i'm totally there!

I use Fruity Studio's for my compositions, however the sounds you are hearing have nothing to do with Fruity (which serves only as a host program), the sounds you are hearing are VST's, from East West that is pretty much a library of high quality samples.

The piano does sound programmed, I had to use a rather lower quality one as I don't have the RAM to host all these instruments plus the 400MB piano :(

I'll definitely check out your submission.

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

"The song is quite Serene."

I love how you made this, the male, and female choir really supports that flute. The flute seems to take a pretty nice lead out in the beggining, those chimes were 100% clarity right when I heard it, you could listen to it's pure quality sound perfectly, and for the finishing touches was your piano, could have been a bit louder in my opinion, but it did play it's job well! I hope to hear more of that flute, you really know how to play it. How I wish I could become like you. I berely have the time to compose now, it's like having 6-8 hours of homework here everyday. Well done my good friend, please Private Message me for your next submission. 5/5'd

I'm glad you didn't find the chimes too loud quickshot, it seems that the common census is that they are. I really should watch out for volume levels better, get some better earphones.

I love that flute too, don't worry you will hear more of it ;).

Same here my good sir :(. Homework, real life issues... it's getting too time demanding, but with the spare time I find, I make.

I will pm you the next song that comes out, thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ;)

great work

I feel so safe in a area where no danger could ever happen.
you make songs so well.
I really hope you make more soon.

Again...

I could see this in a Shining Force game. They seem to like to have endings where the main character(s) just walk across a field or something afterwards.

I think this would be a great melody for the ending cutscene, where Max or whatever you chose to name him walked across a frozen ocean on his long journey back home.

Another peice you made that brings stories to my mind, thank you.

can't think of a long story for this one

i get the feeling of a few friends returning from war sometime in the high of winter, seeing the beauty that would have escaped them before the war.
