[InvictusSanguis]

Wonderful!!!

i have heard all of your songs and i just signed in to comment!!!
i found you through the game "armor mayhem" where your song "enigmatic legend" plays as intro and it fells just epic!!!!
really it gave me the shivers when i heard and saw the intro the first time!
great music!
and also this one is one of my favourite's!
so could i ask you what programm or what do you use for making this music?
i don't know anything and i just signed up and asked myself this question so could be so king to answer me this question^^
great music you are making! keep up your good work!

TheBenjerman responds:

I'm glad you like my music! I generally write through Cubase using the EastWest orchestral libraries and Native Instruments' Komplete 7. This particular piece was written on Sibelius and exported and tweaked on Cubase. I think I used the "Black Grand" piano synth in ONE by Vir2 instruments.

Again, thanks for the review, and I'm glad you like the music!

Beautiful.

Really, really lovely piece--can't wait to hear the live version. :)

Are you inspired by Nobuo Uematsu or Mitsuda Yasunori? Or japanese pop at all? The progressions in the first part really heavily reminded me of some of their work (and consequently, stuff I play, as I'm heavily influenced by both).

Only issue I have is there seems to be -a lot- of reverb at 2:14, could be scaled back a bit. But otherwise, excellent piece. 5/5 10/10

TheBenjerman responds:

Thanks! I would have responded sooner, but I seem to have missed this before now!

I've certainly heard and enjoyed both composer's works, but really only in passing. I do look up to a number of the composers at Square Enix though, and I am influenced by classical Japanese music in general.

And I can understand how you would get the idea from the chord progressions. A lot of popular Japanese composers are very into added-note-chords and mixed-modes.

And yeah, there is a lot of reverb at 2:14, could be excessive, but I kinda like how the main accompaniment comes out of the ambience of the previous section.

Thanks for the review! I'm going to have to check out Square Enix again. ^_^
