Description
This song is called "Dreaming of a Seasonal Wonderland", it was made in the DAW called studio one.
Theme:
How does it fit the theme?
The story behind this song was originally a character going through the seasons as an emotional journey. However, what the song has turned to is a mix of the character going through a journey of the story, but now its as if you are hearing the entire game itself play out as the moods can change constantly indicating which part of the story (or season) you are currently hearing, following this throughout will guide you through this land of wonder that may have all just turned out to be a dream, as you might wonder towards the end of the piece.

You managed to make a track that is manages to both stay consistent and keep things interesting over the course of 9 minutes, which is pretty difficult. very epic
That really means a lot that the song had that kind of impact on you, thank you!
A 9 MINUTE TRACK IS REALLY IMPRESSIVEE
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
You did a great job setting up the mood for this song and it brings a great and consistent feeling throughout the full 9:30 seconds. Also 9:30 is a long time so hats off to you for doing that in a short amount of time, glad I'm not alone in having a long track.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciate that a lot!
Okay, wowzers this is a 9.5 min piece, which is a crazy amount of music for 10 days. Hats off to that!
I like your intro section and how you add strings to your transition before creating a resolution to indicate the next section of the piece. This is a classic move and really cool way to do your transition. On my first playthrough I almost didn't register it had changed sections. at Around 3:00ish I like how you change dynamics to p as it gets quieter and then go back up. I like the reintroduction to the same rhythmic pattern from earlier and then the introduction of new instrumentation. Also at 5:00 that dissonant chord sounded like a resolution, I like how you continue to use the idea to push the song through. I would say I personally am looking for new material at this point, and it does show up! Around 6:10 you have like a synth riff, with piano following w/ a diminished chord progression, which was really cool. You do return to your original melodic material, but it's variated. What I will say is this piece feels like it feels like 1 to 2 sections being variated and alternated. There is a lot of consistency which is good, but it would be really cool if you added some more diversity to it especially from the drums (this is personal pref). I personally did not hear enough of a difference between the seasons, but according to the page that could be one play-through. You did a really great job and my favorite parts were how you handled variation as well as the dim chords.
This really made my day because you put so much love and compassion into writing how much my piece meant to you, and to know how much impact this had really blows my mind, so thank you much!
