Hi Geoffrey. I liked your piece. Thereā€™s a nice dynamic curve from start to finish, which lends a sense of completion and fulfillment. Nice piano playing too! Well done! :+1:

Really like this one. How it builds up and comes to a conclusion. Its storytelling but without words. I like that. You did an amazing job man!

Really beautiful piece. It surrounds you like a hugh. Maybe the epic crescendo squizes you a bit to feel relaxed all the road. Definitely is a precious song.

Thank you my friend. Yes it does have a natural heir pin that moves you from one place to another. I try to do this with all my pieces.

@Geoffers great work! I love how you really took the time to develop the theme, I always appreciate well sculpted dynamics. Only suggestion Iā€™d add is to back off the reverb on the instruments, and use only mild reverb with some EQ or filtering to suggest ā€œpositionā€ to the ear. That approach does an equally good job of placing instruments in the mix, but adds clarity, and leaves more negative space for the instruments to breathe.

Hey man thanks for the feedback. I actually did that but the instruments that do have a lot of reverb on them Iā€™ve deliberately done so as an effect. :slight_smile: maybe not everyoneā€™s taste but it was a conscious decision :slight_smile: I do think perhaps two of the solo instruments are too loud on the mix by around 1db which Iā€™ve already pointed out haha. But you live and learn, this was done in just a few hours so overall Iā€™m happy.
