Oo narration. Very cockney narration, very cool.
This is a really neat idea.
Great job, and excellent composing. It's also very cohesive.

Description
I have done a piece for the Hard Mode option, as I've done a single piece incorporating themes across all 5 paintings.
As part of the brief is to imagine a game that this piece would go with, I added a voiceover to represent a narrative introduction to an historical or fantasy RPG.
Samples are mainly from East West Hollywood Orchestra. Voiceover is written and performed by me.
The voiceover is such a cool idea! Very direct, effective way of emphasizing the theme. The transition between Pastoral and Consummation is amazing!
Cool idea with the narration!
Felt that the sounds could've had a bit more reverb, but that's just personal preference 😉.
Steller work!.
Great track!
The VO was a bit strange at the begining but I kinda got into it honestly, and the story itself was great!
I really liked the composition overall, but the passage from Consumation to Distruction felt very week, I don't know if it is just personal taste or if its because the passage from Pastoiral to Consumation was just SO WONDERFUL that my brain did not accept nothing less! xD
Executionwise, pretty tight, really do love the orchestra mix, regarding the voice, in some outputs (one in particular in my case) it seems a bit buried, even a bit hard to hear, I think maybe bringing it more upfront a bit
Great job, take care :)
Great work with the narration!
In terms of the music itself, I thought you excelled with some of the transitions, particularly in the way the Pastoral theme swelled into the Consummation. That part, and the remainder of the Consummation, could well have been sampled from Edward Elgar's newly rediscovered Pomp and Circumstance No. 7. Really well executed.
First listen - without VO - the music sounds great! - lovely use of the woodwinds at the start!
Really nice production - good synthesis!
Nice transitions - lovely!
Orchestration is great at 2:55! 3:18 - I wanted a whole section like this! Yes! - lead out transition was brilliantly executed!
With VO - I loved the way it transformed the work! The way you dramatised the VO was really well done!
A really well constructed work - super stuff.
First time i have encountered narration as part of the music. Well done, for second i heard a melody from graduation theme song that I assume was meant to mark the transition from Pastoral to consummations. everything is Very intentional and seems to draw from Western cultural references for communicating certain ideas. i see a very strong career in audio book story telling for you, and this could be a great demo or proof of work for your applications. Reminds me of God of war narration with a very reverberated voice reading you into each scene. but that voice breaks a third wall by interacting with the main character which could be a fun idea for you to explore. Where you are responding to sounds in the scene as if you are a character without a material body. But i digress, either way great job hope to see more work like this, and i think this is idea would be interesting in a game (character controlled by voice commands translated to code by onboard/in-game ai?)
Really good !
The voiceover adds a nice narrative touch, and the music is really good, congrats !
Really interesting piece, I like how they all moved from one piece to the next and the voiceover was really creative, almost like a documentary. The only thing was the balance of the music felt too dynamic i had to turn it down at points. But really great composition!
