This is a very well orchestrated and cleanly composed piece. I like the build up a lot, but was a bit surprised at how it ended, it kind of felt like we only made it halfway up the mountain, if you get what I mean. I would've loved to have heard even more development before entering the ending of this piece. Still sounds great though, I enjoyed it a lot!
Really nice use of brass textures. You have a great ear for orchestration. Nice to see someone else using Spitfire too!
What scale did you use? Just curious because I don't have an ear for what scale is what.
Hey thanks for listening! I used a mix of whole tone, octatonic, and harmonic minor for the most part. I also played around a lot with going back and forth between diminished and augmented harmonies
