Rolifer,

Congratulations on getting EWQL GOLD XP (and RA as well), you will enjoy those sounds for sure, I did!

Regarding the piece, it sounds solemn and cold. Death could be a possible image it portrays, as well as grief, despair and hopelessness. I love some of the harmonies in there. What's the soft percussion instrument? A xylophone? The timpanis were really well written, nice touch.
Before this piece, I tend to find your music a little too dissonant for my liking, but I'm starting to break through that barrier (thanks to an obssesive listening to John Williams and Dvorak), and now more complex harmonies tend to be a flavour I have came to like.

By the way, I can hear that you need more practice with EWQL, some of the attacks sound too steep. Decrease the velocity slightly. And try fading in and out instead of just "appearing" (use the mod wheel patches for this, if there isn't any, use the volume sliders).
