Thanks so much! :D
Once again you NGADM guys put out a classical piece that I just can't overlook. How are you guys so amazing?
Right from the start, I could tell this would be a piano feature. And also it wasn't just the piano, I was right. Now, generally I find piano features to be relatively mediocre, at least, compared to bombastic electronic pieces and crud. But you've managed to make this a bit more interesting.
I highly appreciate your use of panning here, it gives the piece more depth, thus attracting more interest. Although I would say my right ear enjoyed it a bit more than my left.
Your piano sounds really good! Definitely better than what I have to work with. Not to mention all your other sounds as well. They combine together to form a perfect atmosphere.
What else can I say? The piece has great melodic content, but, for me, there's so much that it's hard to remember all of it. But it's a pleasure to listen to! Good job, and good luck in NGADM!
Jabicho responds:
Your words mean so much! I'm still learning how to find a good panning spot, I'll put it a little more to the left then, thanks for that XD
I'm happy you like it! thanks again for your praises and suggestions, it means a lot :D
This song is so beautiful o.o The melodies are amazing, and with songs like this, people generally disregard the mixing, but the production quality on this song is great too!
But man, the composition is so good in this song. Everything from that soft beginning to the magical ending was great! There were so many melodic gems. 1:45 in particular stood out for me, since it's a beautiful way of playing some of the simplest notes possible - the first, third, and fifth of a scale. I mean, those three notes can make such nice motifs. Everyone does it - garlagan, that Book Thief movie, the seatbelts jingle on airplanes, etc. - but you made it sound really nice and original here, and I really commend you for that :D
All the strings scattered throughout create so much dynamic variation throughout the piece. 2:29 was another of my favorite moments in the song, because of the intensity of the strings that brought out the melody, and the way you had guitar in so many places just added to the strings/piano combo.
If I were to nitpick at some details, I would probably say that the panning was a little distracting for me, but looking at 1f1n1ty's review, it looks like that's definitely not a problem for other people :D Anyways, great work, and good luck with the NGADM! :)

Hi Man!
Thanks so much!
Ahaha, Yees, sometimes the simplest notes sound so catchy, I had a lot of fun playing that part XD
I'm so happy you like the composition! and the strings and guitar too :D
Thanks again, for everything, your words mean a lot! and looks like we're in the same group XD Good luck to you too with the NGADM! :)
You were right. The headphones did make this sound amazing. Such a journey this piece takes me. The piano sounds amazing. I love it's melody. Very good use of panning.
I am a fan of your strings and that flute? That plays at certain parts. It gives off this ethnic sound.
I wish I had more to say. But I'm lost in words. I feel so soothed listening to it. Very well done and a definite download :)
Jabicho responds:
Thanks man! this means a lot :) I'm very happy that you liked it, and for your words, I can't thank you enough for that.
Oh that one is a tenor sax, but I changed it a little to sound a bit different XD I'm happy you like it too :D
NGADM Review
Lovely piano intro :) Really the whole song has a beautiful feel to it. The name is very fitting as well. The little bells with reverb really bring home the feel of imagination to me.
So starting with composition, you did a really solid job. You didn’t do anything too crazy, but it wasn’t really necessary for a track like this. Your melodic themes are beautiful and I love hearing a unique melody within each instrument like you did in this track. I hear too many tracks that are just bare basic progressions where none of the instruments could stand alone as a melody in their tracks, but yours is different. And all of them tie together to be very pretty!
I don’t really have a lot of bad things to say about this track. I suppose some more realism in the instruments would be better. The overall sound and composition is really lovely. Nice work :)
8.5/10
