Very nice
Very great piece. Mills down there is full of shit. Amazing build. I love the total grandness of this. Keep it up, fav'd
This sounds familiar
I finally found out. It's fairly close to a video made by Ringling College students of a game trailer called Epsilon.

They aren't the same, but it sure does remind me of it. Love this song just due to the deep emotions one can feel or create for that matter from this.
Checked out the trailer, I can see how you'd hear similarities, but honestly, the song in that trailer is much better than mine! haha.
Really cool trailer though, was well produced!
Anyways, glad you liked this older track from me.
Cheers,

Beautiful Imagery
This is an excellent piece as far as imagery goes - it makes for wonderful background music and would well set up the scene of an epic battle of sorts. I still think it could use a little more layering, rather than string chord progressions making up the bulk of the work, but in and of itself it still is good. The harmonies are lovely though and I love the flute at the end (I wish my recorders would record so nicely) Even the guitar blends in well. Definitely shows a lot of promise - keep up the good work and ignore unhelpful flamers who say otherwise ;)
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I did originally experiment with more layering in the song but I just couldn't get it to sound right so eventually ended up giving up on the idea. At one point I even had soft guitar solos going through much of the piece over top the synth but it just wouldn't sit in the mix properly.
I also need to work within a 2 gb memory budget since FL Studio won't address more than that. This song hit 1.6 gb in samples so I was nearing the edge of what I could physically do with it.
If you're curious, the flute was recorded using a matched pair of Apex 185 mics in a stereo configuration. Nothing fancy! They're lower end home studio condenser mics but they sound fantastic. Paid $165 for the kit, with shock mounts, hardhsell case, omni and cardioid capsules and wind filters. Not a bad price!
Thanks for the feedback.

yep
one of my favs for the contest. the beginning reminds me of some dramatical films, great emotion captured here. hm I must say I don't really like the guitar, you should've kept it orchestral. but the flutes are great I love it when live instruments comes into play and the calm outro fits perfectly.
so nice work overall keep it up.
