Description
Genres: Prog/Symphonic
The track represents the climactic moment in the main story, maybe, for a "Final Fantasy" style game.
I used Reaper and write all by MIDI.
Theme:
Two Worlds
Picture theme
How does it fit the theme?
I interpreted both worlds as "one calm and a parallel one, hostile and evil". The harmony of the "calm" section is in a major key while its counterpart is represented in its parallel minor. the transition between worlds is made through various tensions and dissonances, trying to establish the duality.

Very melodic. I also like the old school RPG vibe. Distinct feel between both worlds. Very well done!
That sound smooth, very nice track! It's cool to have some prog here ^^
I deffo feel the Final Fantasy vibes in the composition!
I loved it!! I thought you managed to combine the two worlds and the sudden change between them was pretty cool!! The beginning reminded me of Koji Kondo stuff
Good job!
This feels like it would fit a MMO so well!
Great composition! I enjoyed bass section most, reminds me of some breakdowns in melodic metal songs. Shifting tempo at the end is another nice feature. Well done!
I am a big fan of how intentionally placed every note and beat is. There is little to no repetition (in a copy-paste sense) and I think that while it can be a big temptation to do that, it comes across as far more expressive and story-like when you have a purpose for every note you place. I also appreciate how the drums were composed to accompany the tonal aspects of the track and follow the cues of the harmony rather than simply chugging along in parallel. Thank you for sharing!
Really great orchestration! Liked your blend of orchestral and almost metal style drum beats. Great job!
