very spirited, exciting piece. Like the return to opening
theme and variations on it. Also how you let the
percussion carry things alone for a few measures.
Excellent dynamics in the more thoughtful middle section,
before the drums come back to take over. The faded
ending is a bit of a letdown...why not end with a crash of
cymbals and thunder?

thanks for listening Mr. Atwood! I think I will change the last part and upload
it again.

Thanks for listening and your advice!

I liked it! Fun high-adrenaline melody, which you let flow
between different instruments. What I liked best was near
the middle where you let the strings slowly breathe in and
out, and then had the frenetic melody reappear here and
there. It gave the feeling of resting, but still having this
irrepressible drive to get up and continue the fight. I
agree with awtood that the ending wasn't quite right... it
needed to build to a climax and end on a crashing chord,
or it needed to slow back into the breathing strings, and
end on a slow string chord. Very good work... my 16 year
old RPG-gamer son would like this too :-)

Yes, my son has played with Harmony Assistant some (actually dragging
notes onto a staff), and a little with GarageBand (which got him very
excited)... but he hasn't got a Mac of his own yet. I'm a devious parent... I'll
show him your work, and maybe he'll get so excited he'll crave a MacNugget
(Mac Mini) with iLife enough that he'll actually want to get a... job... this
summer, bwahaha.

deja vu, it's the next best thing to being there

Segments are sounding good WH. Especially the mid
section adagio where the mood changes. Try maybe
adding a longer mid section with a subtle brass
instrument unaccompanied. The additional percussion is
very effective adding to the excitement and energy of the
piece. Keep em coming.

and honor. Triumphant return of a conqueror. A thousand
ships setting sail for a common quest. All visuals this
song conjures up. Love the way it drops to solo cello then
builds again. Awesome percussion and horns. Very
talented arrangement and composition. Thx for sharing
your music here.

I can see waht Drakoni means about the RPG feeling. It is
very dramatic and pacy, like the soundtrack one would
expect on a combat or roleplaying game.


I'm only 14, and I do like it!

The snare was a very good contribution to the feel, and then the toms kicked in and it BLEW ME AWAY! I'm a percussionist I know what I'm talking about lol. When you had the brass doing the sort of epic thing and then the flute played the same melody, was that the same loop on different instuments, or two different loops??
