This is cinematic at its full meaning! That piece of piano and those drums are truly epic like it should be for some intense movie scene!
Good work!

I see a beautiful woman approaching from the distance. As she draws closer anticipation and excitement increases. When she arrives upon the scene, however, hell breaks loose. With a machine gun in each hand, she begins to kill everyone. As the last mans eyes go to darkness for the final time, his thought is "how beautiful, she is".

Nice track

That is a magnificent slice of imagery there.

I wish all reviews were in the form of a magical imaginary journey

thanks!

Reminds me a little of Keith Jarrett (just have to pinch myself -this is Looperman I'm listening to isn't it?) Great use of dynamics and kettle drums to boot! - great track!

Hahaha, there is no greater compliment you could pay me than to liken ANYTHING about my music to the grand master himself Mr Jarrett

thanks a LOT!

i love this track. the drum section - placement, arrangement - is truly cinematic! man, my only crit is that the ratio of piano vs string is unfair - add second pno line!!

Thanks dude,

the strings are a bit intense but I consciously opted for a resonating synth string sound as opposed to normal sampled strings to give it that darker edge, and there is room for a second piano line, I didn't want to saturate it however, thought it was best to leave open.

Glad you enjoyed though. thanks

Description : I'm gonna file this under Drum and Bass due to the beats I used. Though it's probably not DnB in the strictest sense of the word, as it starts off with a Cinematic vibe till the beats kick in (apologies for that, as I don't have a vast knowledge of DnB!). Apart from the beats and a couple of other loops, all synth/bass parts are played by me using ThornCM, Poly Max and Z3ta+ vst's. Let me know what you think? All feedback is always appreciated. Thanks.
