Nice submission ! 

I find it very elegant, there's a lot of great ideas. The soundtrack is cohesive and works very well with the paintings !

I think the 3rd one is the one I loved the most, I really enjoyed the peacefull mood

Congrats !

For sure one of my top 10 picks production wise, amazing job man, if you said you hired an orchestra to record id buy it for sure.

Also enjoyed the composition a lot, mainly the 1st sections of the work, your "intro" to the savage state gave the work something special, and the transition from Pastorial to Consumation is also masterful.

In my opinion I felt that Destruction was a bit underwhelming, I would like to have felt more tension in the piece.

Also a description always helps, since you might just might had something different in mind but if it was I could not reach it without a reference

Great job, take care  :3

The tie-in with the weekly note jam is really clever! I think you still did a good job of integrating them, fits well.

Hey I really liked the first and second tracks! Loved the woodwinds and groove of the first one a lot. Overall great vibe and I think you captured it well!

Great work! Is this all synthesis? Sounds like a live performance weaving through! Amazing job on the production. 

Really enjoy the music! Great stuff!

I wasn't sure about this at first. That opening track is wild. But, that was the point wasn't it? You really created some amazing emotions throughout this entry. I love your use of woodwinds. There are many parts that are wonderfully delicate yet somehow carry so much weight. That transition with the orchestral chimes was amazing! It really caught me off guard in a good way. There are parts of this that remind me of some classic film scores. I can see the movie playing out in my mind. Again, I wasn't too sure at first but you sold me by the end.

Skataklysm, listening to your composition felt like experiencing a tranquil dream where you are just a simple human at peace with nature… only to be swept through all the stages of a civilization in evolution... at times frenzied, filling you up completely, only to leave behind an unbridgeable void at the final vision of collective decay. And even though silence returns, it no longer carries the same melody as in the beginning.

That’s how I perceived it, and I have to say.. it’s a truly profound soundtrack concept! Congratulations!

Very nice, I liked the percussions in first track, its also the only one with them creating some sense of wilderness and you kept building up each track. I also appreciate that they all have their distinct element.

Wow! I liked this a lot. My favorite, the third and last songs. They were really good. I could feel it. Great job on this music. It flowed well and had good dynamics. Love the instrument set as well!
