Hi Klaus,
this is a wonderful piece. I love the almost crying strings in there.
Could also be a nice score for a dramatic disney scene. Very well done!

Sincerely yours,
Michael

Nice job! It sounds like something you would hear in a big space with lots of echoey reverb. I’m feeling a Lord of the Rings kind of vibe in here.

Lovely Klaus. I’m listening while thunder and lightning outside and it adds to dramatic sound perfectly! Now I’m thinking of an old abandoned Victorian mansion with a lonely old ghost :cry: Very well done!

Wow! What a great piece, a real winner if you ask me. Beautifully mixed and mastered, very imaginative. What can you say, a real delight. I am following you on Soundcloud now. Thanks for submitting that.

Klaus - the timpani makes a nice haunting voice and contrasts nicely with the lyrical solo violin. Lots of creativity in your instrumentation, almost too much to the point of being distracting to the nice sad sustained tone you had set. Still, you have some nice colours in there.

A note on your video titles - be careful with white text on a light background. I wasn’t able to read your title in the video.

Great work overall and I enjoyed it.

Thanks Brandon Walker for your comment. I mean it is tightrope walk when come up to think about the instrumentation. Which instrument fits to the mood.
Yes that´s right a white text with a light background is not a good decision.

Beautiful. Emotional. Especially when that sad solo violin comes in. Incredible music. Also…inspiring.

Thanks for sharing!
