This is my submission for the Sheezy music club..club!
After I was 70% ready I realised that there were two sequenses from my song that you can hear from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X-2. This is Pure unintentional, must be subcounscious inspiration or something.
Anyway, this is the first Submission I've made for quite some time now, and I think it fills up the empty space which has been rooted in my gallery the time I was away. Please enjoy, comment, and have a good day!
Over and out

*Sheezy Music Club Contest Winner* A relaxing yet interesting blend of piano and pad, plus percussive orchestration. The Piano melody works well with the original choice of chords. Keep up the good work!

Asgarda Says:

Oooh~! It's really pretty, I like it a lot. C:

I like the middle part especially. Very uplifting.

Seraphim Moonshadow Says:

I like how soft it is. I love piano music. :) Well done. I love the way it's played.

glmathgrant Says:

For some reason, the feel of the middle part (1:08-1:30) reminds me more of a rock song than of some adventure music. I can see why Asgarda found it uplifting, although honestly, I don't find myself so much uplifted as I am vaguely reminded of rock music. Then again, I'm no expert at this kind of music. Really, though, this isn't too bad. It's soft and stuff. :)

A lil short but good none the less.

Celtic Twilight Says:

I really enjoyed the piano, not too rythmic, not too free. It increases and decreases in volume and rythmic tone at the right places. The play on the volume, especially in the last part, allows to distinguish easily the melody from the "filler" notes although there isn't a big difference between the notes' pitch, avoiding the confusion of hearing only one unbreathing melody. Good job on this!

From 1:08 to 1:30, the base drum is just too... present, it's rythm doesn't fit much in my opinion and it is too loud for that kind of rythm too. Maybe if you put one hit every half or whole note instead of at each quarter note, or just removing them completely since the snare and the other accoustic drum hit could handle this part pretty well on their own, it would have a better flow. If you want to give a nice feeling to this kind of music with loud drums, don't put too much drums, but just enough to lift up the song.

The strings are at a right volume to back up the piece without overtaking it, and the use of the choir is brilliant. It flows so well with the piano, mood, and strings that it took me a while to realise that there actually was a choir although its volume is loud enough to make it impossible to miss.

Overall, this piece is really pretty and dreamy, calm and light. Good job!

neophyte Says:

Very well done :) I like it, very calming

AoiShoudo Says:

The only thing I have is I would make the choir more legato and string it more together. But this is an excellent and very emotional piece.

Frizzzard Says:
