How does this sound for an opening with strings?

It is uploading duplicate files. I can not delete one without deleting the other in the playlist.

It sounds very nice. It could lead into a mysterious piece, or maybe something brighter. The progression at 0:16 is quite unexpected, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It flows differently from the rest of this opening.

Typo

Thanks - I need to re-adjust. I'm used to composing with sheet music software. Cubase notating is foreign. 

I made it less expectant. I am trying to keep the flow consistent. 

Update. As of now, meant to be played at half volume.

@Esper It sounds very uplifting what scale/scales did you use?

I used boring C -mostly. My music theory is not where it should be. 

I had to do parts of that over again too. Since the previous sounded like a melodic mess. A lot needs to be redone.

It definitely has a nice theme going!

Toned down the randomness. 

Not bad! For an opening it was rather colorful, at least harmonically. Reminds me of many Sibelius symphony openings. Of course, I could give much better feedback once I know "where" this theme is going.

It's basically a lovely sound. I reckon the volume needs upping (or maintaining) at around 0.16" then differentiate the string sounds a bit with dynamics particularly toward the end where it seems to be developing into something. I tend to agree with Tonskald, there's a Sibelian feel about it, 4th or 6th Symphonies. It's going great so far. Don't be afraid to change key somewhere along the line. 

I like it, it's kind of sullen and begging for a resolution.

It does sound similar to Sibelius. I need to redo the beginning and various parts. After that part is ironed out. onto the next 60 seconds.

I don't really have much feedback to give about this piece. However, I'm writing a piece for string orchestra that is somewhat similar, so if you want to discuss some details and perhaps exchage a few tips about writing this kind of music, feel free to send me a direct message!

Reminds me of the music of Jeremy Soule - ambient music for exploration and reflection. You obviously need to learn how to develop your ideas though.

Thanks for feedback. I need to extend the beginning.

Updated. Will need to re-upload later.

I was thinking of taking it up a scale or insert a previous melody. Please turn up volume to max but it gets a little loud at about :55 seconds.

I'm still making minor revisions to this. I am not sure if I should stop on this. 

I like the mood you manage to create here.  I noticed that the melodic line in your very last revision is lost some of the time.  It's too bad because I really enjoyed it in the previous versions of this piece.  Are you sure you're not over-revising and changing things that don't need to be changed?

I do enter analysis paralysis a lot. Sometimes I will focus on 1 part for hours and lose focus. 

i see a bit of film music possibility in this. (IF MADE A BIT MORE MYSTERIOUS)
