Hey there, really cool submission

Loved the Consumation and Destruction parts, and the passage itself, felt very alive, think you got the paintings feeling on point

Mix is pretty good and didn't feel midi'sh which is never easy to do!

Great job, take care :3

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

This was a really good submission! You got some good themes and instrument play. Really liked it. That flute was just awesome along with the horns and drums. I am enthralled with it. That middle and last section were just beautiful. You really hit the mark with that.

Thank you so much!

Your welcome!

Take Care!

Hearing those snare rhythms in destruction just screamed Kingdom Hearts to me 😁.

Really like the peaceful feeling in the first 2 parts, but the timpani and snare drum felt a bit too "aggressive" sounds for those sections, but that's just my subjective feelings.

Good job on these!

Thank you I really enjoy the Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack! I'll definitely keep the drum feedback in mind thank you!

I love the nature sounds mixed in with this. Those birds mix with your melodies in a lovely way. I like your eclectic choice of instruments. The pan flute in Pastoral worked so well! Destruction really does sound like a proper battle theme. Again, nice job with the war cries in the background. Desolation really set the mood well. I appreciated the return of the pan flute. A painful reminder of times long past. 

Developer

Yeah I think the extra sounds really add to the tracks. Glad you enjoyed them as well!

It’s lovely writing throughout!

Strong Opening! Oocha - that line in the harp at 1:05 - gorgeous. 

Enjoying the foley - nice touch.

Here was me away to crit the extended solo snare and then! COOL AF! Nice. Was a very nice surprise! 

The end is giving me something out of Majora's Mask and I’m here for it! 

Great submission - nice work! 

Developer

Glad that timing of the snare solo worked out thanks!

Awesome! You packed a lot of great stuff into just over 4 minutes. Desolation is my favorite, almost sounds like a legendary Pokemon battle theme!

Developer

Thank you!

Cool submission ! I especially like the choices of instruments, you really stick to the "antique" mood you were going for

 I think Desolation is my favorite ! Kinda short, I would have wanted to hear more :D

Well done !

Thanks! Really tried to find instruments that fit well so I'm glad you liked them

You nailed that ancient world flavour, without constraining yourself too slavishly to the sounds and tropes associated with it. I enjoyed it very much :)

Developer

Thanks a bunch!
