Absolute cinema!

This is awesome. I loved the dialogue between the kalimba and the guitar at the beginning, and the way they echo each other's rhythm is a great idea.

I also loved the B section, which creates a perfect bridge between the opening and the return of the A section. That part was incredible, and I felt that every instrument had something interesting to contribute. The piece conveys a lot of emotion throughout.

The only thing I could point out is that I found the kalimba a little too percussive at times. I'm not entirely sure whether it's due to the register, the sound choice, or something else, but perhaps pitching it slightly higher, adjusting the EQ, or even experimenting with a music box sound could be worth trying.

That said, I genuinely want to see a game's end credits paired with this music.

Good luck with the rest of the voting period!

(I'm still humming your kalimba melody...) 

Thank you! 

I totally agree with what you are saying about the kalimba being too percussive. It was my first time recording it, and I will definitely try some different mic placement or playing techniques next time because there is a sharpness to the sound (possibly due to me playing with my thumb nails instead of the pads of my thumbs) that I had to EQ a lot to get it to a softer place. Also messing with attack and release times on the compressor I was using could also contribute.

Thanks again for the kind words and constructive criticism!
