    Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback, so glad to hear you liked it! <3

    You bring up a good point in my opinion - when it comes to composing this kind of music I personally think more and more that one of the most important decisions you make is what the instrumentation will be. Often less is more. The more instruments you bring on the table the harder it is to keep the balance in the mix and the end outcome suddenly becomes just weird and hard to listen. Nowadays when I work on a tune, I often decide the instruments first and limit myself by making sure that those will be all there is and nothing extra. In this case I decided beforehand that I will have hang drums, I will have acoustic guitar, I will have piano and I will have some strings and I will have lead vocal and lead cello but that will be the palette and nothing else. Ok, eventually I broke the rule and put some low end with acoustic bass and timpani, but in general I tried to follow the original plan :)

    Thank you for your kind words! And I know what you mean about length. It's sometimes really hard to decide regarding keeping it short and more to the point instead of building and making it more epic and longer arc. But this time I thought that instead of doing that climax I wanted it to stay fragile and short. It enhances the sort of tragic and sad aspect to it. But we'll see if I return to this theme and make a longer remix or something :)

    What type of promotion is best for a music artist?

    It depends on your genre and focus and goals etc. Do you want to be a professional and only do music or is it sort of a semi professional hobby?

    All in all I'd say that no matter how much energy and time you invest into it, it all comes down to luck and timing. There is no magic way to guarantee anything. World is full with musicians and projects that just never "achieved it" no matter what and it often doesn't mean that their music sucks. That is just how the world works. The internet definitely lowers the bar when it comes to what is possible, but it still is hard work. 

    I'd say you can use whatever tools are available and you should.
