Yeah, you're a beast. This is pretty awesome. Rules of orchestra....only something that applies to the "industry standard" folk. I guess when you're schooled a specific way, you're taught that things should sound or be mixed a specific way and therefore equate that with ones own 'likes' or 'dislikes'.

I find, if I close my eyes and let the music do, as intended, it all works out.

In the end, you dont have any clipping, no frequency mashing or crowding, so all the sounds and instruments are clearly doing their jobs.

The industry standard in music can be subject to change...otherwise we become limited.

Good story, Dan. I look forward to more of these. It's a wicked look inside your mind and soul.

One of my inspirations is Nobuo Uematsu, I remember one of his great tunes of the past that he had louder timpanis, and orchestra arrangers questioned it yet he still wanted it that way and it sounded awesome haha.

Thanks for listening!

Really good. I have some issues with the way the timpani interact with the rest of the instruments, especially in the first few measures. It seems like you've cleared out the orchestration for them to come through, which isn't absolutely necessary, and in my opinion doesn't sound good here. It would be appropriate, I think, to just cut violas/cellos and other bassey voices while the timpani play.
Also, the mixing is a tad off. I can't offer specifics because I also can't mix.

DanJohansen responds:

I'll be the first to admit that I don't always follow the rules of orchestra when I use orchestra, I do things the way I like it, so I kind of expect some to not 100% like the way I mix certain instruments. Glad you enjoyed it though, appreciate your time! :D

A Masterpiece and interesting story about it. The singing at the end is also very appropriate.

DanJohansen responds:

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it that much :D
