This is a beautiful track with some real gems for melodies. You mentioned where to go from here...I think it's all there but perhaps just clustered to close together there are some phrases you could really blossom out especially at 44 seconds and 1:11. Run with some of those enchanting melodies and just use you gut instinct, make it as long as it remains interesting as I say.

epic orchestral going on right here haha. Sounds awesome man! Dang. Keep it up! Cheers.

LIKE HOLy SMOKES THIS IS A1!!!!

ALRIGHT! PUT YOUR HANDS UP! What program do you use cause this sound real crisp!!!!

nice track :))

This is a great piece of work AD. I love the darkness the horns bring to the piece at the beginning. My approach to doing a cinematic piece like this (and believe me I'm not an expert at all!) is to have a storyline in mind. This will give you a guide and a goal for the overall feel of the piece. I hope you can find some inspiration, because this is excellent!

Hi. Loads of good work here.

My big problem with it, and I suspected this just from seeing the waveform, is that it's so damn loud! Please turn it (the master?) down and it can still be just as powerful.

Anyway: fun little melody to kick things off. Next thing to catch my attention is the brass. Powerful sound that I hear a few people on the site using. Must get that sampled instrument into my musical arsenal.

0:42 nice string melody. Very graceful. There's a slight problem with the transition at 0:42. Something sounds a bit cut off.

0:48 guitar is a surprise. Probably better to turn down the strings behind it as they're a bit overpowering there.

1:18 bass is cool and a surprise. Brass on top complements it very well.

Overall: a skilful, very busy track that packs a hell of a lot into a short time.

So: just turn various things down and find a way to come to some sort of neat conclusion and you'll have a fine piece of cinematic music.

Nice Clarinet on the beginning very nice, :38-41 nicks the String progression from Judas Priest's Nostradamus album, Specifically "Sands of Time-Pestilence and Plague"
you Should Listen too it.

Love how epic this song is! Really powerful in all aspects: instrument choice, composition, and mix. Great work, really reminds me of something I would hear in Oblivion in the Elder Scrolls Series!

This is very nicely put together. It shouldn't be very hard to figure out where to go from here. The question really is what kind of overall theme are you going for. Like tumbleweed said, put it away for a day or so and come back to it with a fresh perspective. The creativity will come.

You rae off to a great start AngelDragon...big fat mix...nice and clean with all instruments right in place...I think one of the reasons why it could raise a question about 'Now what?" is that there are just so many options...Any of the individual instruments in the mix has the potention to pick up a transitional melody line & take it in whatever direction...a big sweeping angelic (but sparse) verse with just the basic orchestral instruments...violins & cellos?..stepping down to a wave of calm in contrast to the dramitic 1st section...or even take that little guitar line and make it an ambient transition....Just my off-the-top reaction...but, the main thing....keep it going...May be worth putting it away for a day or two & then revisiting....(I try to do that...but it keeps me awake at nights some times..Haha....).....It will get to the place it is supposed to be.......Ed

Superb piece of cinematic music. Love it when you bring in that heavy synth bass and it all kicks off. Technically brilliant and i can see this is going to be a splendid piece when it's finished. Don't stop now, this is far too good.

Holy God man!

This is brilliant...so many ways to continue cause this is a superb fusioned artwork...I'm coming from the analog rock line so what I've heard around 0.47 is the continuing point for me...that brilliant guitarish toned 10 seconds...you can use that 'riff' again and build around a groovy drum to go to the prog rock way...but on the other hand there are some electro choices or finish it with an ambientish, chillish pad calmness after the vibrations before...

Maaan, this track is a growing seed...use it, do it!!!

Respect and shake hands, Danke
