Nice photo. Is that yours? I like the voices layered in, the percussion entrance; but the low mid-low end rumble was too heavy in my ears for the piece (like tympani reverb unending), even tho that works with the theme of growing older. (By the way, I do not at all like the idea of getting old joints and arteries, or dying, but I wouldn't want to live anything over again... tomorrow is too much fun to discover. And nothing can ever stay static.) This piece is a journey. Nicely titled.

The opening gorgeous chord progression and long-echoing booms reminds me of some stuff on Mike Oldfield's nice "Songs of Distant Earth" album. This is grand in scope, but may need a little more time in production (needs to sound a little clearer). The reverb is a good idea, just needs some tailoring. Also a few more sparse sounds here and there to help the build would be good. The title of the piece gives the impression that this will be a piece about struggle, but the music sounds proud, upbeat, and glorious... so I sense a discontinuity in messages. Also, the mp3 ending got cut off a bit, need to drag out that purple marker to allow the sustain to fade. As usual, another great piece by you.
ttfn,

I like the depth in the beginning, ambiance with reverb is always my favorite in effects. This piece pulls you along a path with the flowing never ending strings. The piano I would of like it to come to melody to pull me in closer when the drum pattern kicked in, but none the less kept going to the end of the journey. Thanks for sharing this piece.
