Catchy melody, and it’s utilized well throughout the tune! It was quite enjoyable to follow along with the timestamps and hear the progression of AI take over. Thanks for sharing your tune!
I love the nice melody at 0:07 to 0:21. The speedup at 0:35 came a bit out of nowhere to me though. The combination of a piccolo and high piano sounds lovely, and the part at 1:13 with the tuba sounds great too. I personally don’t feel a ‘Singularity’ vibe, but that could be me. Nice entry :)
The speed up at 32 seconds was fantastic . I really liked whatever plucky instrument was being used! as well as the instrument that came in at 1:02
Thanks for reviewing song!
Glad you liked it.
Right from the start you had me hooked with your piano appogiaturas.
Then you surprised me with the tempo changes and chromatic descents.
It's very original that you chose woodwinds to illustrate the AI (at 1'01"). I think we've all opted for pads or very synth sounds.
In any case, the composition is very nice and I hear a story while listening.
Thanks for listening!
Yeah, I'm glad you pointed out those details. Indeed, I chose a more orchestral approach and added a passage for the flute to stand out. The reason being that I used to play the flute in an orchestra, and I thought if this was played for real it would be cool playing that part.
I really like the accelerando throughout the piece mirroring the accelerating pace of AI. I really like the bluesy notes that you have in your main melody, which in my mind signify the essence of perfect imperfection that makes us human. The melody is very catchy and has me singing along throughout - a mark of a great melody in my mind! The sound quality overall sounds very nice and full and makes good use of the entire aural space. Great work and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the nice comments!
I like how you interpreted the piece and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
