A sort of Thomas Newman pastiche, but I have tried to stick with my own aesthetic approach to composing

Nice composition :) I can definitely hear some of Thomas Newman's style in this.
Would love to hear more from you in the future!

Cheers pal :) I have a goal of composing and uploading one 2-4 min piece every week, so hopefully I can achieve that (might be tricky with a lot of other stuff going on). So will try different styles, mostly within the cinematic genre. At the moment I am working on something a bit more "epic", Elder Scrolls type music

I continue to be impressed by your work, man. Beautiful piano throughout. It really creates a lot of space for climax, but I think you could've done a bit more with that. I understand this was made for a short film or something, but as a stand-alone piece, it might need some sort of dynamic contrast and melodic development in order to be structurally complete IMO. Still, this has a beautiful ambient vibe to it which I love. Keep it up, dude! ;)

erlendflatin responds:

Thanks buddy :) This was composed as a sort of aesthetic study, as well as experimentation with modal textures, which is why the melodic development seem to be floating a little back and forth ;) But thanks for the reviews, it is always nice to hear some positive words about ones music!
