People commented that the piano and various other instruments were falling flat in previous songs (not exact wording), so I decided to take the dynamics up a notch or two. It starts out fairly slowly, Personally I picture with my minds eye floating through a muggy swamp towards a great temple hall. You'll know once you've reached the hall..

For sure.

Update: I changed a few things to make the song flow a little more smoothly in its first transition and other minor changes.

Let me know whatcha think.

Nice flow...

I like the creativity used with rhythm here...

Thank you.

Standard rhythms aren't nearly as fun as experimental ones. Maybe not necessarily to listen to though.

great

Very nice song, The piano parts are excellent. I love the sharpes thrown in on occasions. Strings are great, it adds a subtle movement to the peice where a steady beat is not really needed. This does work well without a drum beat.. people need to realise that there are different motives for creating music and its not always wise to include a "beat". Done perfectly.

Laters dude.

"jstick"

Fr0zEnPh0eNiX responds:

Ahh thank you, I knew you of all people could appreciate that =)

Yeah it's meant to be more of an elegant piece, it isn't really something that I felt required a beat, thank you for supporting that decision.

I may integrate more modern sounds to some later pieces for something more practical.

This here is solely for my enjoyment however, and anything else that comes of it is purely a bonus.

You're the man.

Good Song

It seems you used a good VSTi for the piano. But sometimes everything seemed offbeat, and it didn't harmonize well. But it recovered from it. Good polyphonics here. The breakdown/build-up/whatever around 0:30 was kindof wierd, but it got better.

Good Song.
4/5 - 8/10 - Needs something more, like another instrument. It felt empty, just can't quite put my finger on it.

Fr0zEnPh0eNiX responds:

I know what you mean, especially at the 30 second mark (approximately)... the transition can be a little harsh. Admittedly the original way it was felt too sudden, and I was experimenting on how to make the transition work and give that "change of scenery" feeling.

I think I get what you mean about the missing part of the puzzle... and I think that ultimately comes down to some sort of bass instrument. Toward the very very end you start to get a taste of it, but it's already too late.

I'll do some experimenting and likely just update the file as I go.

Thanks for the constructive feedback!
