Composition goes hard ngl, matches the theme perfectly. verygj

Lovely submission here! Goodness, it is really good. I liked the orchestration, very good job there. Love the upbeat sound of it too. Only thing was it sounded a bit muddy when all of the instruments were going. Doing some EQ or perhaps changing the dynamics a little would do the job. Well done here!

This is a really nice composition, man! It sounds really professional and is just so satisfying to listen to.

Love the composition! I think the upbeat route for this jam is rather hard to do, due to the nature of the image, but I think you did a great job capturing the floral-ness of Spring! The image is also cute and shows the playfulness of the track itself, birds are so energetic and full of life, which is shown throughout your submission! At 1:25, you even have that subtle nod to Vivaldi's Spring, and it's done in a simple but effective way. Great work!

Oh my gosh you noticed it! What refined taste in music, thank you.

This is incredible for your first orchestral arrangement.  Very fun, upbeat and fitting to the theme.  Definitely getting some Vivaldi/Baroque vibes.  You must have some serious music theory chops to be able to so closely mimic that 17th-18th century sound.  Great submission.

Thank you so much sir. I have tried composing something like this again. But it must've been luck, because i couldn't replicate the same skill. It's weird, like i was possessed. I normally make heavy metal music.

Uploading on newground is a first for me. Very cool composition, full orchestral is always nice to hear, the low end are probably a bit too much stacked, same for some frequencies at the beginning something to EQ or soothe to take off some resonance but other than thats its an awesome arrangement. Well done !

Yes sir, i got very lazy with mxing. But when i was composing, it was like i never wanted tthe song to end. Therefore, when it's about to quiet down, it just reels you back in.

Genius writing! I really love the string runs and the chord movement, specifically in the middle section. That was beautiful. 

Might be my headphones, but the low mid end is not sounding 100% clean. Otherwise, this is excellent!

Yes, i was lazy with the mixing. But the song does not want to end it self. If i made it longer, it would take too much space.
