A very intense piece. Love the tension and build up. Great production as well. Very menacing. Very delicately crafted.
Best of luck in the contest; not that you'd need it by the sound of it!

Thank you, and good luck to you as well :D
Full marks here, man! I wish I could do orchestral stuff myself, but my mixing programs just never seem to be able to give me anything even close to realistic sound....I don't know how you did it, short of actually hiring a durn orchestra, but this could easily be seen in any epic movie soundtrack.
DamienFleisch responds:
It's like most other forms of music, just takes some tools, practice, and time :)
Thanks for the review!
I couldn’t help but smile when I started to listen to this. Very Stravinsky like and a few others. TOO Short! Could’ve listened to this for another ten minutes or more…don’t want to be too greedy. I really like the timbre and quality of these instruments. I’m getting jealous quite a bit listening to this.
Those chords are piercing, and listening to them a second time through, they’re still giving that same effect. This piece isn’t going to get old anytime soon.
DamienFleisch responds:
I had an ambitious idea at the outset to start with the melody at the beginning and slowly expand it to a tone row which would have made it much longer. Unfortunately, I'm going to be busy the next couple of days so I had to finish it, temporarily. I'm glad you heard the Stravinsky too, he's a huge influence on me :D
Thanks for the review, and I'm really looking forward to hearing what you've come up with!
