Welcome to YC.

I enjoyed this piece very much and it shows you have a lot of talent.

One suggestion. If you want people here to comment on your music, it always helps to comment on some of theirs. Some will return the favor, (as it should be) while others are either too busy or too lame to take the few seconds required to type in a response. In time you will learn who will return the favor and who will not.

Hope that helps

I must say I enjoyed this piece. I can definitely see it in a game. I don

t know what you intended it for. It is interesting enough to be enjoyed but not too boisterous to obstruct someone in a game. It is repetitive but that's good to establish a specific mood that isn't going to change in awhile. I don't know what I would improve on. Keep up the good work!

I like it. I can see it being used in an opening credit scene... very nice.

Thank you guys so much for the comments.

To rolifer- I will definitely take your advice.

Nice little piece you've got here!

One word of advice I'd give is that you should probably think about tweaking the production a bit more. Some of the instruments don't feel like they're in the same space as the rest of them and this leads to a relatively unrealistic feel. This is particularly obvious with the percussion, which is mixed very high and very dry. To my ears this makes it stand out a bit awkwardly from the rest of the instruments.

Apart from that, I quite enjoyed this piece.

Nice work!

I liked the ostinato at the beginning, and, eventually, how it built up an interesting background for the main melody. However, I think you should consider changing the percussion sample, which, as far as I'm concerned, lacks power and energy (features that are perfectly suitable to this particular piece).

Overall, good work!
