This is excellent!
thank you very muchh!
Very nice composition that could come from a beautiful anime like movie! It gave me huge Ghibli vibes :). I like how the song evolves to different parts smoothly, never going to far from its original motif, and the gets back to the start with much more orchestration! Beautiful job, thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
This was great!! I love how designed the progression through this song is, carrying you from moment with the changes in instrumentation and rhythmic flow. I feel like you have a really good grasp on how to wield the natural ADSR of all of these instruments to your favor to build the palette you're aiming for at each individual moment. good work!
Thannk you very much Aidan!
You definitely created a Ghibli sound with this! The opening chord progression sounds like it came straight out of Castle in the Sky and it’s beautiful! The section at 1:29 is also reminiscent of the underwater scenes in Ponyo which definitely adds to the theme correlation. You sure succeeded with working on your orchestral style! I like the different parts of your song that seem to represent different parts of a story - would love to hear your thoughts on what that might be! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow! That is a high compliment dude! Thank you very much!
Great job! I like the orchestration you did, the music also had a nice contour to it.
Thank you very much!
Very atmospheric sounding where I could easily imagine the open seas. Would make an epic starting track.
Thank you very much! Love that woke up you imaginations! Means a lot for me.
You did a great job with the orchestra! What did you use as your DAW?
Thank you very much! I use Reaper as DAW and BBC library from spitfire in this case.
Yes! This was very successful, and you have a nice ear for arranging~
There was a lot of auditory imagery and movement in this. This was wonderful ⭐️
Thank you very much for your words!
great work! This is beautifully written, would love to know the story behind this piece and what the different parts represent. Very impressionable and cinematic, just amazing work
Thank you very much! I just imagined a child at night in some sort of landscape . The idea is that it has to transmit different emotions, not just something happy or sad.
Ohhh, I really love when that piano comes in around 55 seconds, it sounds so nice! The orchestral element definitely works though, great work!
Thank you very much! I am so happy that you liked it.
To answer your question of if the orchestral sound was successful. The answer yes. And only yes. Well done!
Thank you very much! Love that support.
I feel like your recording could be organized into different tracks. Other than that, the composition makes for some memorable video game music!
Thank you! I agree! I think that it works like an opening and resumes possible different leit motivs.
That was beautiful! I love the arpeggio section in the middle. Very nice orchestral bouquet with so much variety. Something I am trying to figure out myself. What DAW and libraries do you use for this?
Thank you very much! I am so happy that you liked it! I use Reaper and the BBC library from Spitfire.
