A song created for the MAC contest, which you can read up about over at http://www.newgrounds.com /bbs/topic/900800

Uploading the video which goes with it soon, I swear ;D! It will be eventually viewable on my profile page.

Regarding the piece itself, it's a soft gentle opening, of a very ethnic, fantasy oriented setting. A warm and sorrowed vibe which empowers itself gradually, until it builds up a tense chaotic anger, that resolves almost instantly later on, to end again, on the same gentle note it started off on. The title refers to the world to which this song belongs, it forms and is created from darkness, nothingness, and ultimately that is where it will return.

Enjoy!

delicate madness

i am the nightmare
i can not wake from the mirror
reality inside of me
i am the nightmare
i am the fear
anger and hate manifest
i am the naked truth
a thousand broken memories
i am the shattered youth
i am inhumane
a thousand forms with the same name
i am the mask you can not bare
i am your naked fear
i am the nightmare

This is just awesome

Sometimes a piece of music makes me feel some way, but the really good music is, what doesn't change how I feel, only magnifies it, so I can understand it better. This is just the kind of music that changes meaning with my mood. You have an amazing skill with this kind of music, all of your themes are a masterpiece, keep it up!

good...

to the preveos guy your expernces werent as bad as trying to run from death,its cald hands enveloped me,then blackenss there was no heaven no hell just a black abyss,i soon wock up pain rushing though my body my eyes watering....

It seemed so real...

Have you ever had that one dre...nightmare that just made you...feel...honestly i cant describe it. That one nightmare....oh i had it....and i can remember it. Its burnt into my mind, and sometimes when i close my eyes i still see it. The screams...the pain...and the horrors that....seem incomprehensible.

Here is what i saw...

I was flying through space, without any mechanical assistance. Watching the planets become blurs and the stars becoming smears of brilliant, vivid colors across my spectrum of vision. I then stopped and landed on a planet. Oh what a beautiful and strange world it was. Creatures that just...that just seemed to defy all laws of nature...and yet they were..they were perfect. Flora that are just unexplainable. They just seemed to dumbfound me. Then without warning...I blacked out. When i awoke...I felt it. The pain of hundreds of tiny creatures tearing and clawing at my gut, the heat of an unnatural flame that drenched the world, the unnatural angles that did but also didn't exist, and...and the scream if billions of souls captured and tortured. Then the little creatures started to grip and tear at my insides... I felt every tiny finger...every god damn cut and rip that those ugly and deformed creatures did to me.

Then.....I woke up screaming and grabbing along my gut trying to throw those imaginary creatures off me...

I hope i don't go back...

this was truly a real dream i had...

Masterfull

Let me share a secret with you:

The pieces I love the best - are the ones that channel their emotion into me. It can be mentally through the whole piece (making me feel sad, angry, happy) - or it could be a single instrument or melody that allows me to physically feel the emotion.

A vibration in my neck (around the adams apple)
The trembling of my heart
A bucket of watter poured over my innards
Squeezing my innards
My hair standing on end
My skin stretching

and many others.

Those are my favorite pieces.

The instrument you start using at 0:14 is beautiful. As i'm sure you can tell based on this and past reviews - I love tremolos.

The string's in this piece are dissonant and hauntingly lovely. The percussion is done masterfully.

The climatic change is done flawlessly and I can see the fields and village getting shadowed by a cloud of disbelief and darkness.

The pizzacato strings are great. They are actually the exact same starting notes of a riff I learned to a well-known rock piece today. But i'm sure you didn't know that =)

Great job with this piece - everything was done flawlessly.

If I had to add something - possibly a glockenspiel during when it gets dark? I think that would add a nice effect.

I think i'm going to have to give this a 10/10... and I don't give many of those =)

I jut agree with you "MusicalSerenity" the best music Coment ever Discribed this wonderful fealing!
