I like the eeriness of the piece. Makes me feel uneasy. Also, I love how you edited the youtube video! How did you get the visuals of the MIDI like that?

Well big journey, very interesting atmosphere you got here, I don't know if that was intentional but its like you played two different songs on top of each other which creates a big clash and lots of artefacts that may sound very experimental. But at least its very creative. There might be a bit too much reverb on the piano that we lost most of its essence. A part from that good job :)
Got OoT Shadow Temple vibes among other things from the first track, nicely done! I like how you used panning to create space in this arrangement. It's both harmonious and dissonant and yet fits so well together!
The piano in Akt 2 gives me the chills. I've listened these tracks a few times, and I can say they're very memorable. You have striking melodies rising out of a unique dissonance. Using so much disharmony was risky, and I think you pulled it off fantastically by using a great arrangement and having repeating motifs.
This was extremely surreal and evoked otherworldly imagery that's usually difficult to conjure up with such a minimal arrangement of acoustic instruments.
I really enjoy the soothing composition. After listening to your other tracks on youtube, I kind of wish you add some of the touhou style synths inside haha. Just a bit curious about how it would sound like in an ambience atmosphere.
Great work nonetheless!
WOW!
Akt 1 is a big, interesting, well-crafted and mesmerizing composition... The leading flute alone is mesmerizing, and the instruments accompanying it make the picture even more beautiful!
Akt 2 - A quieter composition... and no less good! A beginning that seems to say “it's about to get hard”... but the track on the contrary becomes more and more ominous and melancholic!
Overall... It's beautiful! I love long soundtracks: They allow to reveal the melody to the fullest! And you did it!
I can definitely say - that your publication is in my favorites (I'll even save the tracks to my playlist, hehe).
Rawr :>
Nicely done, interesting atmosphere, interesting coposition.
I think on the constructive side, I think the piano maybe sounds a little heavy/MIDI.
I think in terms of space, I would do more for near/far, i.e. drier reverb and more delay for closer things and wetter reverb with less delay for farther things.
I am feeling vibes of Schnittke :)
Certainly it makes the melodies far from something of easy listening. I think that the second one being less intense might be a better suiting for the theme as being less distracting. Both are for sure quite atmospheric just like venturing into the places no one should ever venture to.
If you want any advice I would recommend to make instruments less equal in future for this type of compositions.
Good job on composing and finishing!
