woooow sounds great! the part at 0:40 is my favorite. i love what the brass is doing in the whole track!

Thanks, Leo! I'm glad you liked this piece! I like that section too! I tried to make it very powerful! The brass was fun to play with in this track, I have not really used low brass in this way before! I'm glad it worked!

An excellent piece! I see you are coming back with your usual styling (don’t worry, it’s nice) 0:06 Really loving the ostinato that you are going for! 0:10 I hear that the trumpet lines do not lock into scale(?) I am taking it that there is a deeper meaning in that, maybe unresolved problems or struggles? 0:34 Oh WOW! This is really inspiring! The horn lines are very motivating, and I noticed that this part is another variation to the initial trumpet line and this time it accords to the scale: So are there any deeper meaning that the horns and trumpets are implying? 1:15 I can hear many variaties of the percussion rhythms from here onwards, it really makes my heartbeat follow the rhythm 🤩 1:30 ohh wow, MY FAVORITE PART!! here really love the tone of that low brass and the military-esque snare lines! Very epic! 2:06 Very nice entry of low brass with the timpani, it hinted the entrance really well. 2:34 wow! the accompanying horns playing chords has a really nice tone that doesn’t drown the strings playing ostinato, really hard to achieve that! Make more like this too!

@@azure_sapphire Thanks! I'm glad you like it! The trumpets were supposed to stand out a bit, so the tension was deliberate. The horn was supposed to sound more heroic and resolved, so that was the progression. That's as deep as it goes. I'm glad you liked the percussion, I had to vary it because the rest was very repetitive. 1:30 was also my favourite part, the brass worked well I think, it was just the same chords as the other section. I'm glad you noticed some of the harder things to create! Overall, I was kind of happy with the piece. Thanks for your comment, I look forward to them very much. I hope to hear more of your work soon! 😆
