Reviews for "Sanctuary"

This one of the most developed "epic" orchestral pieces I've listened to on Newgrounds. And as a classical music lover with a musician boyfriend (thus, forced to go to a BUNCH of wind and orchestra concerts), this sounds like one of those pieces that directors would usually have their symphony ensemble perform. Reading from your description...I mind as well not point of what you already have said, but simply say, good job ;) Keep it up, I'll be looking at more of your work.

Definitely would be great by itself, in a short, or in a game.

Step responds:

Haha you speak about going to wind/orchestra concerts like it's a bad thing! :P

I'm thrilled that you think this sounds like a piece you'd hear played by an ensemble. Having a track of mine played by some sort of orchestra is something of a silly dream of mine - I know it'll never happen but nevertheless I think it would be absolutely incredible.

Thanks for the feedback!

I dont always review but you qinned congrats as the others ars saying this qill be the peak of a movue or story part iof some game o you can make your wnstory ok godd

Step responds:

Typos much? :P

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing!

I think everyone is wrong!
This belongs in the intro of an RPG or an MMORPG or any medieval game that begins cheery and happy.

A movie is cool too, but this is only 4 minutes.
A separate story can go with it, but imagine playing that story instead.

5 stars, you have talent, use it wisely since it gets harder to find talent every year.
Good luck!

Step responds:

Haha, could be! I didn't make this with any intention of it being used anywhere but it can fit in different scenarios I guess :P.

Thanks a lot for the review!

So, so BEAUTIFUL. It's a really great and emotional piece. I know you've put a lot of effort for this one. I may not be able to make music, but I know good stuff when I hear one.

And thank you to firethunderclash for the imaginative story! It really suits the song!

*p.s Somebody should really make a movie out of this. ;)

Step responds:

Thanks a lot man! I'm surprised you find it emotional because I never actually put any emotion into my works; I just try and go with whatever sounds cool. Still, I'm happy with that!

Yeah, firethunderclash wrote a really fitting story. And I'd obviously be absolutely honoured if someone made a movie for this but I doubt that will ever happen, haha.

Thanks a lot for reviewing!

Very well composed! I can think of a very good story that fits into this music. I'll say the main character would be John. I have a lot of details in this story so be prepared for a long review:

Background info: An invasion has been going on. John and other soldiers are trying to fight back the invasion. However, the invaders are winning.

0:00-0:15 - John is walking back through a forest to protect his village.

0:16 -0:20 - However, as he moves the last bush he finds out his village was invaded.

0:21-0:32 - John could not believe it. He looks at each house only to find bits of wood and furniture
and also dead bodies.

0:33- 0:43 - He soon reaches his house that is just the same as the other houses except one room still stands: his parents' room.

0:44-0:57 - Slowly, he lifts the tavern, shaking. Fearing of what to find in there. Then, a single tear is shed from the main character.

0:58-1:06 - He saw the most horrible image that will stick to
his mind for eternity: his parents bodies lying on the floor. Dead with blood oozing out. More tears came. The tears that exploded with anger and revenge.

1:07-1:27 - He prepares in a secret hut. He takes a knife, a map, a sword, and rope. He then put puts on a coat and walks out of the hut.

1:28-1:48 - He travels through a forest, a desert, a mountain range, and exits from another forest. Each scene has different camera views.

1:49-1:57 - Tired from all the walking, he notices a cliff.

1:58-2:10 - John gets a good view of the castle the invaders live.

2:11-2:27 - Night falls, John quietly climbs over the wall with the rope and sneaks past the guards in the courtyard.

2:28-2:56 - A series of scenes happen. John runs a hallway in the background while scenes appear of events where John is sneaking past the guards.

2:57-3:00 - John slows to a stop. He is just outside the king's room.

3:01-3:07 - John creeps behind the king slowly and knocks him out with a punch.

3:08-3:19 - Slowly he takes his sword and with the utmost hatred, drove it through the king's heart.

3:20-4:00 - He returns back to his village (without getting caught) and buries the bodies of his parents. Mourning over their faces as rain continues to fall. A tear from John falls down and makes the last note as it his the ground.

This is just my view on how I interpret this music. Although I do say this piece could also represent someone trying to find safety. Anyway, awesome piece and continue to make great music!

Step responds:

Aw dude that's a really imaginative story. I was following it along with the music and hearing the music fit so perfectly in your story that I got the chills!

Thanks a lot man, really creative scene. I'm glad you liked the track :3.
