Amazing. To tell a story through a song without lyrics shows much talent. Adding chapters also helped to paint a picture. Definitely should be used for a video game ost imo.

I really like how this piece tells a story. It describes the feeling of walking through a mystical forest, relaxed, but something lurks in this place. You went too deep... ...the deepest you'll be.

[@crow4277]

i'd like you to entertain the possibility that perhaps the goal was always to reach the depths of the forest.

I wanna make a story about this so bad that goes like: Lying in the center of a shroud of green and brown mass is a relic which grants a single wish to any being which can touch it. It calls to everyone. In the center of "The Forest" is a green orb surrounded by golden rings, filled with holy and ancient glyphs that give it power. And the allure draws in many to answer the relic's call. And the story of the first - and the only one to lay his hands on the relic starts on the outskirts, where everyone does. Where the light is still bright and shines through the leaves, and the creatures that the relic brings are still few. and then the whole thing would end in like the guy defeating the final thing and finding out that it was all just a (plot twist here) like omg this music is so good at telling stories that I just wanna make one myself

im not even joking when i say you're a huge inspiration to me. ive been in a few streams here and there but genuinely uploading has been the thing that's keeping me in the creating music sphere. mostly everywhere i go i see creators on FL studio and very few that use Ableton. The major use of FL kind of made me want to switch, even though throughout my whole time creating music, ive used Ableton. but seeing you make such amazing sounds on ableton really makes me want to keep going to create different genres and cater to new people so i can do as good as anyone in the music industry rn :) thank you crow.

Yoo new crow release! I love the ambience at the beginning, it really builds and does a great job at introducing the foresty vibe. You're really good at sound design! I love the mixture of the mallet in 'Entering', as well as those rhythms and textures. Your chord choices throughout this piece are also very fitting as well, with the mixture of organic and synthetic sounds. 'Exploring' sounds very fun and adventurous, with those marcato piano accentuations doing lots to solidify the measure. The drums were a lovely addition as well. I love your incorporation of jazzy harmonies and unconventional harmonic movements. It gives your music a very unique structure and aesthetic, and that's not even mentioning the textures and instrumentation you used. I especially love that solo in 'Battle' and how it goes on to line up with the accents in the piano with the countermelody in the slap bass. Super cool. In conclusion, this was a very fun piece and I loved the harmonies and sound design you put into it! Keep going, you're doing amazing!
