In a world where each living thing consumes living things in some for or another, with the exception of some plants and single cell critters, it is a cruel cycle. That the dominant damaging species destroys so much life for purposes other than needed food and shelter is demoralising.
I applaud your philosophical bent and the music that you illustrated it with.
Well done.


Cheers

Ya know, next time I'm going to push play before I read what you've written in your post, Derochette. Every time I listen to your work, I hear exactly what you say, and I believe it's your music more than your words. Extraordinary as always, man. Total respect here, sir.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Deej56,

You are absolutely right in saying that a bridge would have been welcome. This is a very good idea that I will think about to see how to introduce it. Thank you for your constructive comment.

Hi Rayc,

I agree with your reasoning. And it is not in the nature of the majority of us to accept this state of choice. Hopefully the future will be better for our children and all of the life around us. Thank you for commenting on this soundtrack.

Your backstory expressed a truly beautiful sentiment and that sentiment is well
reflected in your lovely composition.

The arrangement and mix sound great. It's obvious that a lot of heart and soul went into this production.

Wonderful!

Derochette,

A folk song-style melody from somewhere in Europe is beautifully orchestrated.
Did you study orchestration somewhere or did you self-taught?
Sometimes like Maurice Jarre, sometimes like James Horner, I think you are very versatile.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Janice & Bud,

It is always a real pleasure to read your comment. Failing to sing, I try that the playing of my instruments speaks for me and expresses my deep feelings about my aspirations. Thank you for your kind comment which brings me a lot.

Hi animarorecords,

It's nice to have commented on my composition. To answer your question, I am self-taught and I am interested in all styles. Unfortunately, although I like a lot of styles, for some I am unable to develop a melody. I limit myself to what I can do better. And so much the better, if it pleases. Thank you again for stopping by to comment on my soundtrack.
