Very Epic, get me feellings of some kind of norther village cold and harsh ambient, boats, fishermans, a blacksmith, hammeringits a complex world the one you create with your music, thanks a lot for so great work.

The composition and textures here are awesome.

I feel like in the mix, some of the instruments are a little dry and flat and bring the sound forward too much. More space, more playing around with reverbs would make the mix work better.

I think with organic instruments like this, spending more time on the dynamics of the stringed instruments would help set everything in better. Then again, more reverb can often mask the midi sound.

Very well done though, I liked the composition. I actually disagree with a below commenter - I think you did a great job of portraying a storm rolling in, but where the storm is beautiful rather than a threat. I might make the sound maybe a little more "slow and rolling" to really bring that in, but it's pretty close as is in how it communicates. Reverb would really, really add to that sense of space! I'd love to hear you layer and play around with big, clean reverbs and post it in the discord, tag me.

The sounds of this song take me straight to the north! It's very interesting how the music builds up, exactly as I would imagine in a thunderstorm. If I have anything to say, it's that I wish the song was longer, it seems to end too soon.

Hey! I did a review of your entry via video. I posted it on the Jam discord but appreciate everyone might not be on there. Here's the video timestamp for your entry: https://youtu.be/1-aLhBdNCKE?t=13257

I think you nailed the start of this piece, it does really evoke a peaceful rivers, and things do pick up with the percussion and war drums. I don't think it gets quite to the mood of a ominous rolling storm like you described, but that may just be me. I think it may come through better if there was a break in the middle of the piece for another section or a key change to really accentuate the darker nature of a storm. That being said, I think the melodies and choice of instruments really bring out the "spirit of the north" so you definitely got the theme right. At some points the layering with the instruments felt a little clashing and that may be due to them occupying too similar of volumes or frequencies. I think this might be easily resolved with some stereo panning but I'm sure there's other ways too. Overall great work! I found the piece very listenable!

Nicely done, really sounds like a classical northern song if that makes sense and if i'm right on what I perceive a nordic sound would sound like.  I like the not too often thunder sound effects and the build up using the same instrumentation only increasing velocity and playing a little differentely.

I'm not from the north, but the vibes from this one felt like spot on on the theme. Authentic brave heart vibes. Loved the instruments and the way the piece develops. Great tune!

Never knew you could actually use Godot as a video editor, but cant say I'm surprised since Godot is so flexible😀.

Liked the feel of the track a lot! Only little thing I felt might make it even better, is making the dry instruments like the bouzouki and others more Wet with reverb so they would blend better with the more "in a big room" sounding Cinesamples Musio sounds.

I'm not sure if you have ReaPack installed for Reaper, but I highly recommend installing that and checking out all the great free community made plugins and scripts posted on the Reaper forums. For example Saike has made some great reverbs, synthesizers and other effects: Saike's workshop, and since you use orchestral stuff there's a handy articulation manager called Reaticulate which lets you control keyswitches from their own lane in the midi editor.
