Description
I tried to capture the feeling of running as fast as you can and the sense of freedom you feel. The second half feels like there is a sense of danger your are running from or towards. It ended up sounding a bit pirate like. I used Logic to track and Labs by spirfire audio and SINE player for MIDI samples.

Hey! I love it when the guitar becomes part of the rhythm! And considering that I'm a small fan of westerns - hats off to you: you played this theme well!
P.S. Flute = love

I like the description of "running as fast as you can," that's exactly the vibe I'm getting from this song all throughout. The progression from the more chill, driving guitar to the huge string and piano section and finally to the staccato woodwinds feels like someone's bold journey into the unknown and having the strength to take on whatever comes their way. I think the panning felt a little one-sided with the strings on the left, but other than that this is some really solid work.
Guitar work in this is really clean; some great grooves and feel. The supporting instrumentation is fantastic too; the subtle synths, articulated strings and soft piano arpeggios all come in at just the right time to really bolster the piece as a whole. The percussion is busier than I thought it would be, but it provides a nice pulse and rhythm to the track to keep it driving forward. A lot of different instruments at play here, too - the sound palate continues to grow and grow as it progresses.
Great work - fun listen, and quite evocative. I'd love to hear more in this style. Best of luck!
I like the theme approach, we feel the freedom through the physical effort. The high violins add a lot to that feeling. I like the guitar in the introduction and the global evolution. Good job !
Really liked the beat of this one, it captures the feel of running in time with your heartbeat
Nice! like this one. had a good feel
the way this track evolves with the instrumental palette and intensity is amazing! i do see what you meant by "pirate" later in the track, which is interesting because i felt some sense of "Western cowboy" in the beginning with the airy synths and guitar HAHA ^-^
nicely done! this would work well for a cinematic cutscene of some sort.
The guitar mixed with the drums coming in and out was a great effect! Really felt like a song that would play while a character runs free!
The drums especially making me thing of a horses gallop with the rhythm and volume!
felt like i was in some sort of ol western movie
Brother yes! GREAT track, great vibes, total western vibe! Could have been in Red Dead! Only thing I would have done is maybe turned down some of the auxiliary percussion stuff when the layers got thicker to create a little more transparency in the sound! But DAMN!
Yeah I got the sense of being 'Free' while listening to this, it's a very fun track!
I would like for the drum's crash to be a bit louder so it cuts better through the rest of the instruments, but other than that it was enjoyable all around!
Great work!
Love the grandness of this track! The way the piece progresses is very nice, and it feels like it's bursting with freedom! A small bit of criticism, I really like the guitar you have playing, I think it could benefit from a small cut or low pass in the treble frequency regions, but it's not too distracting and everything is still mixed pretty solidly! Nicely done especially in 48 hours!
