Excellent! I love the sound of your music. The trill passage is fantastic (the Cosmic Clock), and the fact that you add instruments as you go along sounds really good.

For Tricky goes to Town, I wonder if you know André Rieu the Dutch composer. The arrangement and chords are very similar. This music was a big hit in France a few years ago.

As for the last one, there's a touch of Nobuo Uematsu in your composition that I really like.

All in all, I have nothing to say except that it's very good orchestral music that would go very well in a game.

PS: Can you tell me how you did it? It sounds like a clarinet on E and a flute trill on C and D?

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. 

There's no big secret for the trill. The orchestral library I used (BBCSCO Core) has different "articulations" for each instrument. Wind instruments have "trill" as one of the articulations. Here's a screenshot:

I had not heard of André Rieu, but I noticed he has performed waltzes from several famous composers, including Shostakovich, from whom I borrowed a lot of ideas. I believe that's what you're hearing.

Thanks again!

Oh, but I do have BBCSCO Core, but I'm nowhere near as good at using it as you are. Thanks for the tip, I may borrow your technique for some of my next compositions.
