Hi all!

I'm officially on summer break from teaching (yay!) so I thought I'd celebrate by doing some composing.

I'm practicing doing some shorter, themed ideas that I could use later as soundtrack material for video games/trailers and such.

What do y'all think?

1. Probably needs some sort of metal percussion. Spiral cymbal or tam tam would work to give climaxes something else to grab onto. The reason for this is that it becomes harder for the ear to differentiate normal progressions with climactic ones when you use them so often in the beginning.
2. The growth and decay of the percussion phrases in the beginning confused me a little bit. Maybe a bit too disjointed.
3. Mixed mode in the big section was a cool choice to use.
4. The use of meter changes is cool, but a tad sporadic. Audiences tend to like consistency when it comes to stuff like that, even if it is a weirder one (in my first commercial draft posted here I use 13/8, but it remains until a big change).
I like it! You can definitely expand on this.
