My first journey track, I had a lot of fun with the orchestral elements and bells, the melody probably a little hard to follow but I was mainly focused on the cinematic areas such as the full strings. But overall I hope you enjoy it, the end might be a bit rushed as well. But still thanks for listening. Also you heard me, START THE HOLY MUSIC.


and yes this is based off of waterflame Welkin series, though it sounds nothing like them.


damn this got low ratings

Hey man. Thanks for your patience! Finally have a relatively free evening.

I like the creepy pads at the beginning - there's something ghostly about them. Some of the other instruments sound a little out-of-place, though, like the bass guitar that first comes in at :19. The part at :43 was a bit dissonant for my tastes, and had a lot of murky low-pitched tones that didn't mesh too well together. The rest of the piece feels a bit disjointed, with a lot of sudden transitions and isolated ideas for riffs that don't really feel like they're leading anywhere. I like the crackly atmosphere and effects at around 2:20, minimal though they are, and the rhythmic content during some of the busier sections of the piece was cool too.

Again, I'm going to suggest that you think more comprehensively about the chords you're using at a given time, and make sure that all of the notes sound good with all of the other notes. It might help to write the chord/melodic progression in a single instrument first before you assign different aspects of it to different instruments. And remember that a little repetition across different sections of the song is a good thing; right now, this piece almost feels like several separate songs played in a row, which is a bit jarring.

When you feel like you've incorporated my advice, feel free to PM me again. Cheers! :)

Well that was a bit much to read, but thank you anyway, I want to keep getting better so all I can say is thank you for your honest opinion. Thanks man

Truthfully, this reminds me of when I was just starting in music and making my first tracks. A lot of time has passed... Keep it up, keep practicing, and improving!"

Creeperforce24 responds:

I am always trying to improve, but I’m very bad at making music(especially before 2023) but thank you for your kind words, and if I can FINALLY GET DISCORD. Maybe I can collaborate with you or somethin


Also congrats on the front page
