May 3, 20196 yr I like it - but I think that sometimes the bells are competing a little too much with the vocals!
May 4, 20196 yr @Dark Energy "Expanding the universe... of music!"😃 Ok so. I'll do what I usually do and write notes while listening, so I won't forget anything, and you'll get a picture of my immediate reaction.  The tiny bells (forgot their name) right at the beginning are, for me a little to sharp. At least for the beginning. If you want a nice effect to start with... Idk, Siren's voice is known to be gentle and soothing. Maybe a pp with soft stick on a gong? or a bell? Something lower and not as sharp? Also the horns are a little too... adventurous? epic? (That's just my opinion) to begin a song about sirens with. I think that you should have added them later for a greater dramatic effect.  The texture that starts around 0:12 is great.  Interesting. What voice vst did you use for this one?  The cut at 1:24 was a little too sharp for me. But maybe I get your concept of Siren's wrong? Also the addition of electronic sound is good, gives it a somewhat unnatural feeling.   Around 2:00 it already sounds like... well like an epic adventure song. Many musical cliche's (the use of horns, strings, drums, the overall rhythm, sudden major chords).  3:10 there she is again. So the whole epic section was a transition? What story did you have in mind? The harp adds a lot.  I like the dark texture from 3:55 on. I'll give it another listen now, maybe I missed something.  Ok, I think I get it now. It's like- *Part I: "These are Sirens" *Part II: "These are sailors" *Part III: "Hey, what is this beautiful voice I hear? I haven't heard a woman in months, let's go say hello!" *Part IV: "Hello there! Oh no! What the...?! (Death Screams)"   Â
