Cool stuff, it really convey the danger and mysterious, there is a bit synth going on that probably distrupt the old city in desert ambience, and maybe the high pitch can be a bit lower so it doesnt hurt the listener but that just me. Keep up the good work!
I rated you good in the composition, but I think some leads were a bit distracting, to in the spolight, but very interestiing piece so it passes, and maybe its no so much the composition, maybe it was the mixing that did it feel a bit clashy, then again that could have been want you were going for.
Anyway, great track! Take care :)
Heh I like that you used video footage of Petra.
The composition is nice. I think the mix is a bit thirsty; people go too dry because it can be hard to make a very wet reverb sound clean at least initially. Cut out the highs and the lows (cutting out the lows is a trick I got from Ty).
Also, near = drier, louder, more delay to the reverb (i.e. if you're standing 2 feet away and there's a wall 100 feet away and you yell, it'll be really loud compared to the echo, and if you go up to the wall, the echo will be much closer to the same volume as your yell, and there will be almost no delay between your voice and the echo). Mixing in space like that can help make things much clearer. The delay makes things sound crisp, while the reverb still adds the color.
Great work! :)
Nice ambiance, nailed the vibe. I like the not too often dissonance and the melodic reverse synth. Good job.
Nice track! I really like the sounds you used and how the piece evolves. The soft high-pitched percussion sounds combine well with lower droning sound throughout. The synth that comes in around 1:09 and adds tension and drives the piece forward. The piano at the end has a kind of unsure feeling to it. All these choices I think ties together the whole mysterious atmosphere well. Great job! :)
Nice work with creating the ambiance. It certainly gives impression of ancient sites. Good job!
I liked your music. The sounds used for the background are, so to speak, ideal, they fit perfectly, I am simply delighted, plus the panorama works interestingly with the listener.
The only thing is that it seems to me that the timbre and intonations of the main descending theme in a narrow range are not quite suitable, they rather evoke associations with a spaceship than with ancient ruins, but this is only my impression and I do not insist that it is true for everyone.
In terms of composition, everything is done well and you can feel the immersion. I also cannot help but say how atmospheric the video sequence is, I really liked it.
Thank you for this experience and your music!
Thank you for you featback I really get the part about the track sounding like a spaceship it kinda does but it also Remembers me of an old desert ruin and thats why i chose this vibe for the track.
