very epic

What this piece does best is that it immerses you in a grand and epic scene. The overall structure and the way the piece progresses from a sense of tranquility to intensity are wonderful. The instruments are well picked and the balancing on them is good. It would have been easy to make the electric guitar at the end stick out like a sore thumb, but I like the way it enters and then helps to elevate the final section.

Despite the evoking of epicness and grandeur, I find myself struggling with connecting this entry to its inspiration, and I think it comes down to the composition. To me, this feels like an RPG battle sequence and not so much a space/sky theme. The strings, the faster-moving chord progressions and supporting percussion all feel too fast-moving and I think there could have been more time given, musically, to take in the scene.

Overall, this entry captures the right scale; I just wish it connected with the artwork more instead of coming across as a battle theme.
