Title
Overcoming the Abyss
Description
Wrote this together with Multihog. We made it in the Sibelius notation software and used Noteperformer for the sounds.
The video has the score in it, but I also added a PDF file in case anyone wants to have a look.
The notation is a bit fucked in terms of accidentals and whatnot but hopefully helps to see the arrangement and structure of the piece.

Very impressive! So many variations, very cinematic. I love the part from 2'00" to the end, the theme is sublime, the way the instruments respond to each other is brilliant.
Glad you liked it!
Really cleanly composed, it's got great structure and flow throughout, and nice details and interplay between the various sections. Some minor things are, I did find the underlying rhythm a bit too consistent and repetitive, and the ending felt slightly abrupt. Other than that though, it's a really solidly done piece, great job!
This piece shows some high craftmenship, very diverse and balanced, also I didn't knew noteperformer was that good.
Thanks! I'll pass the compliments on to Multihog who did a lot of the arranging and orchestration.
Nice drive, nice counterpoint, nice timpani solo.
Many thanks!
I might sound a bit silly thinking this but I can imagine this playing over the loudspeakers at a theme park like Disneyland
