Your piece is not very coherent. There are a lot of ideas here, but none of them are organized very well. You jump back and forth from sound to sound, making it very uneasy and hard to tell what's going on. The piece could have been much longer, with a lot more development.

You did, however, catch more than one side of the 'world ending' theme, which I like.

MATUSLEO -

Your piece is very effective. It conveys a message, is dark, intense, and succeeds at telling us the story.

But it doesn't tell--It punches us in the face with the story. Right from the start we get THE WORLD IS ENDING YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!! There is absolutely no variation on the theme or the music. You used a lot of copy and paste, I can tell. I like the idea you were going for, but not for the entire piece. This should be the middle section to a larger piece, something with contrasting moods around it.

WOLF 88 -

There is not much flow to this piece. It stops and starts rather randomly. You need to organize your thoughts better and piece together an outline or something. Your musical phrases are very short, which keeps the piece short and confusing to listen to. But I like the musical ideas, they are quite different in places and colorful.

The theme of the piece is apparent, but it is too black and white.

I really like this piece. The music is quite well put together, if a little bit trite at times. Have you heard Michael Giacchino's work on the Medal of Honor video game series? Your piece sounds quite the same! No offense--I love Giacchino!

But, it's not 'end of the world' music. It's military wartime music, like the Medal of Honor stuff. I do love the music, but I have you pull your score down because it doesn't serve this contest's purpose.

I guess for me, it's a tie between Wolf and Matusleo. Nice work, everyone! I wish I had had enough time to contribute a piece.
