Hmph
And there I thought you'd gone and offed it, leaving Newgrounds in the wake of your career, but here I find you are still submitting and producing that awesome music.
As usual, you have a firm grasp of dynamics and the intricacies of creating feeling in a piece. There was a slight problem, there's a bit of muffling so it's hard to catch the articulations in the parts where a lot was going on.
Otherwise, brilliant!

Superb !
I found myself humming along, and that rarely happens to me on NG. This is absolutely beautiful, the instrumentation is perfect and the melody is strong and well assigned to all the instruments. Not much else to say except that it's a wonderfull song !
Wonderfull
I've listenned to it about 10 times already and its still as good as the first time, such power. Its relaxing in a kind of way and adventuresk in another. A marvelous piece you did there, I'll download it but only so I can listen to it everywhere :P. 5/5 Long time no see, I'm glad you're back.
The progression of the phrase....Minimalism.
In this piece, I could see a very lucid motif within the song. The clear sound of each intrument stands out that every one of them paints a picture, adding an excellent details for visualizing the image in listener's mind. Though I'd say it's a repetitive in terms of motif, but you've used the techniques such as allowing the instruments to take turns to play the melodies, and blend in some counter-melodies to create more strength and intensity while introducing the transitions of the breakdowns and new motifs in Edgen style.....Um, like this part starting from 1:39 could be a great example....Right, the use of high strings to make the song feel "uplifting" and grand. :D
Although very few people visit you in NG nowadays, but I'll constantly check out your work, Edgen because you've given me a great inspiration to be a better composer in classical fields. I kinda see what the real beauty of classical and ambient is like when you really want to bring out from it. It can be deeper than any other genres, I believe. :)
