this is beautiful T-T it definitely captures the emotional and tragic mood to the piece, really awesome job!!

Thank you so much, Asia! I'm really glad you liked it. And congratulations to you on the artwork — it's truly amazing.

Nice work! The production is generally good and the thematic material is well developed. I felt I wanted to hear more tragic elements to reflect the artwork though, and more harmonic development would have been good. I liked the choice of instrumentation, though the guitar sat too far on the right for the most part. Generally a lovely piece!

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback. The piece starts with tragic elements and then moves toward more "hopeful" sounds, because that's how I interpreted the illustration. For me, the detail of the two butterflies in the center is the key element that represents the resurrection of the two lovers and their eternal love.

Felt very dark in tone. The arrangement was really nice and production was great! Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

The music was quite nice, and I wasn't expecting the more impressionistic seeming interpretation, it was a pleasant surprise. I had a hard time getting a firm understanding of the impression you were trying ton convey. While it was  compatible with the picture and non-contradictory, it was very multifaceted.

I do have one minor (technical?) note, in that you chose to let the birdsong hard cut out rather than fading it. Perhaps that was a symbolic decision, (in which case some additional indicator would have been nice) but I found it a bit jarring.

Overall quite striking.

Thank you for the feedback. As for what I wanted to convey, I focused on representing the last two mosaics of the illustration and then concentrated on the detail of the two butterflies fluttering around. Regarding the abrupt cut of the birdsong, just consider it an export error ^-^'

It is very good.

Glad you enjoyed the song, Aurora – that really means a lot!
