wow what a composition, this has such variety! like going from acoustic instruments of woodwind to electronic spurts of plasma sound, REALLY PROFESSIONAL. Was very engaging from start to finish, that accelerando really drew me in and CHANGED the song so much. That percussive influence ( that isn't percussion ??? ) is very nice too, gives it a real pace. This whole song was just a fucking pleasure to listen to, congratulations on the monumental song, it's truly incredible.

Thanks! I think the "percussion" you were hearing there was the pan flute (when the song begins to accelerate), and I'm quite proud of that section myself.
A year ago, I would have been told that my choice of instruments seemed all over the place and didn't go too well together. I've gotten better though, and I'm glad you've found my music fun to listen to now :D
Catchy melody, interesting combination of instruments, transition from slow paced to fast paced early on, and emotional/driving sounding on the whole make a 5-star winning combination.
Brilliant atmosphere overall.
You've earned this 5, favourite, and follow.
Baumarius responds:
Thanks! X3
I love the atmosphere and combination of the old and new.
Baumarius responds:
Haha, thanks! :D
Awahahaaaou! It's good ^^
I like the tranquil mood at the beginning and the instruments. The mid-range bass instrument at :25 sounds a little harsh, yet also blends into the texture pretty well. The string solo at :40 was beautiful. Excellent job with the sound design and progression here. Wonderful use of phrasing from 1:00 - 1:30. I like the tempo automations, too. The piece began feeling a little minimalistic by that point, but then you came in with another gorgeous string melody at 1:55. I really wish the melody had been more up-front in the mix, though, because (as cool as the harmonies are there), the melodic content should really take precedent. I guess my main complaint is that the piece has very little cohesion - it’s hard to pick out repetition in the structure, and I find that problematic. I also thought the transition at 4:11 was rather abrupt. Still, the piece is rather smooth-flowing overall, and has a really great atmosphere and creative sound design. Keep up the good work, LucasMasoch! ;)
