  1. Gotta say, I liked the woodwind intro. Kinda wish the ensemble reappeared in the piece. Despite the decided electronic, chilling dancy vibes, it strikes me as the theme of a mystical village of some sorts. Like the ubiquitous forest elf village tucked away with all their magic and mystery. And synthesizers, by the sounds of it. I'm rather curious about how this would sound as a mainly orchestral piece. Good work here!

  2. I like it. I'm no authority on the fine art of metal, but things are sounding refined and solid to me. If you want an expert's opinion on it's OCR worthiness, go here to get contact info for one of the fine evaluators of this workshop and pm one of 'em to request an evaluation. Or just submitting it can't hurt. Either way, keep shredding!

    PS: nice MTG collection.

    This trainwreck, Jojo's-Bizarre-Adventure-meets-a-Cannibal-Corpse-album-cover-pandemic-existence I'm in has not slowed down even a little bit. It's been a new, high level gut punch every day

    Highlights from the last five weeks include:

    Hope you can level things off, and regain some altitude some day. (Might take 10 years, but... you know.)

    I'm with Patrick. Mere words can't do much for a man going through what you are, Meteo Xavier, but for what's it worth from a complete stranger: I hope things turn for the better. And for what it's worth, I appreciate what you did to help make Songs of Light and Darkness happen. "Let Eternity Take Over" is one of my favorites on the album.

  4. Ah, those sewers. How they grated on me. Not like this piece, though. It's thrilling, chilling, and rather catchy. If you're using FL 20, I suggest checking out the FLEX synthesizer packs, has some fun stuff. Anyways. I'm not much of an authority on composing EDM stuff, but if it were me, I'd start with revisiting parts of the song and changing elements of them: change which instrument takes the melody, change the melody itself up, extend or shorten parts to see how you like 'em. EX: repeat the intro (0:00- 0:15) with some long notes added to complement the arps and drums. Then maybe repeat it again with some of the bell synths adding a counter melody to the new additions. Although, to be honest, I can kinda hear the court room theme mixing well with this. Keep playing around with the song, you'll find a groove you like.

    As for mastering, I'd keep an ear on the higher frequencies: a good number of your synths have higher/shriller timbre's, so take a look at making sure there isn't too much playing on the higher octaves at once. The percussion sounds like's its doing its job pretty well so far, you could probably go pretty far in the piece without changing up too much from what you've made. 

    You've got a neat thing starting here, keep at it!

  5. Personally, I enjoyed the message of the monologue, and the impressive effort to replicate that oh so unique quality of Rundas' voice. I remember reading that one could hear Rundas trying to talk to Samus during the fight, and appreciate this interpretation of it. Also, reflecting on your lyrics made me realize that this could easily be turned into a break-up song :P

  6. This hurts me. The similar instrumentation to the original is great, and the new parts are excellent, but your lyrical choices... Chilling. "I told you that you owe me one now..." How did you so effortlessly give voice to our weeping at this tragedy? Vocoder or not, it reminds me of his voice. I did feel that sometimes the voice work made the song a bit too busy, such as 1:01-1:30 "don't cry Samus" (I did, by the way.) A little bit of a break might be some nice contrast. Regardless, I am in awe of your interpretation of this song. Well done.

    The vst used for the choir is a software version of what Kenji Yamamoto used for the Metroid Prime 1 and 2 choirs

    Pray tell, where can I find/pay for this??? I did notice it's a loop, nicely done too.

    Big fan of your avatar: It reminds me that I need to make a cover of the Rundas battle music at some point.

    I see you are a man of culture. If you do make a Rundas cover, I will look forward to hearing it!
