Cinematic, lovely, atmospheric: all of these.
It does, however, lack focus.

Hi Rayc,
Thank you for your comment. However, I don't quite understand what you mean with fack focus. The piece of music is very long or other ?

Dero,

A really nice listen.

The instruments all sound good - crisp and clear. A good mix.

A good arrangement. Good build. The choir is a cool addition - as are the other (non-BIAB) instruments.

as there is no specific melody or single principle instrument the song hasn't a THING to be it's centre.
Like a soundtrack or similar it flows wonderfully and that may be the point.

I couldn't say this any better.

This is absolutely fantastic! Your instrumentation is perfect for this genre and message.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Dero,
I enjoyed the many layers constantly moving forward and back and the sweep of the overall sound.
Very well mixed.
The choir is a highlight for me as its so different from Biab background vocals.
Nice drama for the ending.

Very enjoyable, melodic, and an excellent example of a quality instrumental.

Well done, it doesn't need anything more, or anything less. It captures everything required.

The mix is particularly good.

Bottom line, it's a perfect way to describe the song's intention: "Our beautiful blue planet that we must preserve for future generations."

Nice instrumental arrangement. Can probably fit as a backing / score for some video work. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your encouraging comments. Biab is a wonderful tool because it allows you to create the structure of the track around which you can easily add the melodic ornaments via another daw.

Being new member on the forum, could you give me a advice to quickly access the compos you have posted on this forum rather than having to go through the list of deposited components. Is there a history of the compositions filed by member ?
