Excited to see who wins, this is good competition even with the small number of participants.

This is such an amazing effort by every single one who created this. I feel extremely proud to be involved in such an amazing work, and represented by such great staff. This is truly amazing, I can't stress on that enough. Thank you!

Thank you, I very much appreciated your reply. I'll definitely try out other sounds, I like to try multiple styles, for one doesn't know what he's best at by just guessing.

I guess that summarized lots of what I needed to say; I'm horribly bad at music terminology, thanks!

Another pure D.A.W. composition, this time with a little more to it, being the longest composition I've created to date. As always, my music feels unrelated, but they still fit each other some way even if the theme changes midway, and this one truly has a theme twist that I'm very humbly satisfied with. If you think about it, it's like a tale of a wanderer who lost his way, and describes some of his adventures and/or experience(s) along the way. Such experiences would be excitement mixed with fear, as in the excitement to explore accompanied with the awareness of whatever could go wrong. Then true adventuring as he goes through his way, learning and adapting to his surroundings. Followed by challenges and obstacles that come his way, and how he fights through, using all his previously gained experience, then roaring through his way. Then comes the emptiness or the disappointment (could be pictured as betrayal of an ally), as it amplifies into anger mixed with regrets and sadness, and later.. vengeance & determination. That's how I like music really, when it tells a story just by the music itself, lyrics are not necessary, but this leads to what happens in my tracks like the feeling of detached unrelated parts, and my goal in this musical journey of mine is to accomplish the mastery of such storytelling through music without having gone too much out of the general theme in such a quick time. I hope you enjoy it!

Felt a tempo mismatch between instruments on first listen between the percussion and the other instruments in the beginning. Also, percussion is a bit too loud. However it's very good for the musical output.

My brain kinda goes to sleep once I'm done with one design/idea, soooo I'm saving for the best

Thanks for the reminder, I have it in mind, just staying on hold in case I get a better inspiration.

This happened to me multiple times, however when specific users post. In other words, an attachment can appear perfectly fine while another one in the same post posted by a different user would appear as in the picture. How can this be explained?

You're always teaching me something new and incredibly valuable, I'm surely going to keep your reply bookmarked for a while, re-reading it for quite some time. I'm very thankful, and I surely see your perspective, my storytelling surprisingly matches my musicmaking, if it's a novel it'd have lots of chapters, each with little yet concentrated details & scenarios, yet seeming unrelated or happening in different places, to recollect in the end.

True.. many of my melodies feel 'disjunct', I always create a melody that's too short, and fail to expand it or lengthen it without sounding like I created two different melodies and attached them. The hardest part for me to get past in music it seems. About the repetition, there are small differences but they might not be heard on the first few listens, but yes this composition in particular has much more repetition than others, so I understand your point. Thanks for your opinion! I'll work on fixing such errors in future compositions.

Here I come again with another creation, almost 2 months in the making. This is one of my favorite creations up until now, it might sound repetitive, but I believe that would only bother whoever doesn't find it atmospheric or following a certain pattern that they'd like and/or expect. All opinions are appreciated and loved, your feedback is what makes me keep on creating such music, not giving up.. if it were for me I'd have given up long ago haha.

Magnificent Transition!

Does this version represent it accurately? Does it sound good enough? I don't know how the alto saxophone sounds incredibly different, but I assume the marimba(s) at least sound good enough. Still struggling with uploading issues..

I loved the slower tempo part, it's awesome! I encounter a problem now though, my plan was to merge everything together not in their audio file state, but rather as .midi files (notes), then assign instruments to them. Unfortunately I don't have matching VSTi, I'll try to find something that fits though.
