Description
An ancient ruin shrouded in mystery and danger. Adventurers venture inside, unaware of the secrets and perils that await them. Will they uncover treasures or awaken something best left undisturbed?

I had a hard time with this, I feel I could do way more with this song, maybe I will revisit it in the future.

Setup:
- Spitfire Audio LABS:
-- Male voice: Micahs Choir
-- Female voice: Gaelic Choir
-- Bell Tree: Cristhmas
- Taiko Drums by Sample Science
- BBC Symphony Orchestra Free Edition:
-- Tubular Bells
-- Glockenspiel

Digging the beginning, with the gradual growing of density, giving a sense of wonder and discovery. The drum pattern works great to give this combative, ritualistic mood. I also liked your voicing of the choirs. And the bells bring a nice touch of calling into reunion, the meeting of the people living in this city we are just entering into.

Very nice, love the instrument choice as well.

Oh, interesting bass sound. Sounds like bass flute (i don't remember the name). The atmosphere was pretty cool, and it well fit the theme.
Good job!

Very cool mix of atmosphere you crafted there, still soothing but with a bit of suspence. It envelopes the mystery in your description, well done.

I like the sense of space you created with this. The glockenspiel sounds nice and fits in the space well.

Great work!

Ohh... BELLS

Pretty atmospheric track, with a bassline that seems to slowly want to come closer to me.... It even has a man with a bass voice that really wants to sing slow jazz!

In short - quite a mesmerizing composition....

I'm not sure why but I get Pokemon vibes from this, like I think you could use Pokemon soundfonts and would the track would fit in a game. 

Great job overall!

This is one of my favorites along with Wolf 1061c.

I wanna be short cause i've been tight on time, but that begining is on the spot like the whole song overall, but what I can't leave this page without remarking is that ending, from the 2minute mark was really special!

Great work, take care :3

Oh, I really liked your work. It feels like an adventurer is entering a lost place. I liked how the panorama works, it creates a very necessary and cool effect. And also the use of bells and choir - that's my favorite.

It fits the theme and sounds really cool!

Thanks for this experience!
