Oh! Is that the little thing? Well, whaddya know ...

But I forgot to mention one thing - at the beginning, when everybody is entering really softly, it would be hard for the trumpets to hit those high notes when they first come in. Not something that a professional couldn't do, but even then, I don't think it would be pp/p. But then again, I wouldn't know, it just seemed a little extreme.

lol...

Yes, trumpets hit some extra high notes with no preparation, which makes things hard as *** to play... Not impossible though...

This conjures up some pretty intense moods nikolas, I really like it, especially the 'Creation' section, that interweaving flute/clarinet thing.

I also like the creation. (but to be honest I'm fully with the last chapter, death )

It sounds like a good song for the scary/suspense movies. I really liked some parts where the music put me on edge wanting the music to resolve. I was impressed. One thing i note though, is there was nothing to connect the song at all. not even a small melody that would occur at least two or three times. The music was all over the place. Very free though. good job.

Actually I will have to dissagree with you here.

The central idea (while it is underground) is there from begining to end. From bar 1 to bar 300+ (don't remember the number actually). Everything is strongly connected to that skeleton idea, which does appear as "death" (the last section in the score).

As I mentioned in post #1 there is a fractal which keeps moving and expanding and everlasting going faster. That fractal, while in the first 3-4 sections is not apparent fully (while it is there), in the last chapters it is fully obvious.

I will make a score to indicate what's going on further... (when I find a bit of time that is...)

This piece was very interesting and I found it to be a very good listen! You created a good atmosphere with the orchestra and it was easy to "feel" the music if you know what I mean. Anyways, I liked it very much, the only thing I felt was left out like some of the others mentioned is some sort of a climax.

Anyways, good job

I really really like this piece. It is right up my street. I especially like the bit with the pizz violins and sudden discords and then massive horn line. Your very very talented. Keep it coming!!

I don't think I'm the first one to say "I usually don't like modern music but this was awesome." I can't really say much specifically, but I agree that there are plenty of melodies, from the opening motives to the chaotic ones at the end. Truthfully, I found the first half to be much more interesting than the rest; however, it is all skillfully written. Great job.

Hey nikolas, I'm loving the textures. Great piece. My only complaint (and I think it's been said before) is there was no contrast to the claustrophobic feeling of it. Other than that, I loved it. You definately have a great talent.
