Very moody and dark piece just I like. You have made a tremendous efforts to carve the instruments to fit into the piece. This alone shows your talent. I really like the introduction of harp and harmonies evolving into brass. Brass lines are really awesome which has been very nicely sampled as well. I also like the ambient feel in it complimented by strings. This is one perfect entry just like @mattashi. Well done! It deserves in highest 2 places.

Phonometrologist responds:

I'm not sure it deserves such high praise, but I'm grateful you feel that way. Perhaps not as exciting and fun to listen to as your entry is. I really just wanted to start using the samples that were provided and attempt to allow the samples to just guide me through its timbre of where the piece must go, hence the simplicity in the usage of these samples in the very beginning to the evolving harmonies.

One sentence man. You are genius! :)

Now there you go.....

I am just truly captivated in this piece. I think you both have shown your finest skills and musicmanship in this piece which can be easily designated as a winner in this competition.

I want to give my 2 cents from a game's perspective basically. The start is slow which can be imagined as camera moving in different directions showing the chaos and then there is a gradual build up which is the preparation of some action, just right where it is needed. Like Matt said, I can also recognise dem0le's signature spiccs and a flow to rush in your adrenaline for some action, i.e., you know here starts the actual game. I am amazed how much going on in the piece which literally requires only a high level musician to do. You cannot just pinpoint one thing; there is lot and lot...Point is this piece can be a perfect blend in any game whether light or epic, just try it.

It deserves it place in top three. Hell, @RealFaction, I will bribe you sucker :D
Congrats to you both for giving NG this top notched composition to listen. Rejoice!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Whoo, thank you Emid! Dem0lecule says hi :3

We definitely tried our hardest and put in tons of effort and time into this. I'm sure that a lot of great tracks will be posted in the month that is to come! Maybe you will participate too ;D?

That moving camera visual is great! It would look amazing, especially if the art/visual department was good :O
Yeah, dem0 is definitely responsible for the spiccato action XD
We definitely see it as the "real" start of what is happening. That is also part of the reason why we let the transition remain so noticable.

I kind of like the effect in some tracks where there is a lot of things one could focus on, and the track sounds a bit different depending on what apect you're listening to. A melody, the backing melody, chords, percussion, etc.
Some of the more epic parts are really crammed with all of those things :3
Down side is that you can lose some simplicity, but that is why we also have parts like 1:17, for people who like a clear and beautiful melody, as well as to paint the full picture.

Thank you a lot for listening and for reviewing, Emid! Dem0lecule said he blushed while reading this, and so did I :')

Meowwwwww....:)
What a splendid, magnificent, spectacular, remarkably sick piece man. What a superb mixing! I just gave you a standing ovation! I mean literally!
Matt...your creativity at it's peak here. But I know men of your stature never stop. You have blown me away and I'll blow all judges if these piece doesn't find it's right place lol :) O goodness am listening over and over........

Mattashi responds:

Hahaha oh nooo I've created a "cat" battle theme xD
Thank you so much for your review Emid :)

Man what an incredible piece! I always get inspiration from you and try to improve myself. You are a very very talented musician mate. I pray all the best to you.

Mattashi responds:

Thanks a lot Emid! This piece was quite different and a challenge since I had to write this for CrabbWalker's animation so I had to make sure it would fit the scenes. This was also my first time scoring for an animation :)

Beautiful piece of work. Very well executed. You got one more admirer ;)

This is pro quality dude. Very well structured and true trailer music as you wanted it to be. I can imagine how much work you've put into it. I don't have any suggestions; you are in the right direction. Looking forward to hear more from you.

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks so much Emid! I worked really hard on this one and I'm always looking to improve in the future :D glad you liked it!

Fourth song?? Can't believe! Well done.
Try more variations, make it feel full and play with dynamics if you are into trailer type music. This piece is very very nice but static. Give life to your music by putting soul into it. Just a humble suggestion. Bravo and keep it up.

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks alot Emid :D I've learnt a lot since this track and i am definitely switching up the dynamics and such for my tracks! looking forward to improve :P

Small cheerful theme. Gave me a smile and changed my terrible mood :)

Hauntingly beautiful and elegant. Vocals are exceprional as well as their translation. Would like to hear the full version when available.

Given that this is just a mock up, I would refrain from commenting on the techicalities apart from one thing that I think strings are louder than the voice burying the vocals behind. Also strings are too wet. But again I can assume the final version will be fantastic. Looking forward.

Jessismith responds:

Thank you. And yeah, the strings are really muddy, and the vocal is turned down due to quality of the mic I was using to record the vocal. The final version, once finally released as a soundtrack version, will hopefully sound much better. :D

I am in no way composer, musician, artist and whatever you may call it. I am a doctor by profession who just loves music of different genres like epic, rock, classic and any other that carries melody. Enjoy my imperfections :)
