[kingtiger 19]

 

An instrumental ambient/chill cinematica (electronic + orchestral) tune meant to stir the imagination and conjure images of a fresh snowfall.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,809]

Ok

 

It's a decent listen. However, the biggest thing that's putting a damper on your piece is that you limited yourself to the I and the II (aka the V of V). I suggest you use a 4 chord progression that will enable more possibilities. With four chords, you have 24 different ways you can order them. Here are some suggestions

 

I-IV-V-vi

 

vi-IV-I-V

 

IV-ii-vi-V

 

Nice use of 7ths btw.

 

In terms of your sounds, I see you were using sliced pads moving at an eighth beat. That sine wave that sounds like a French Horn sounded nice. A swelling triangle wave would sound nice over it. Also, a very short plucked lead doing licks around the chords would sound nice. I like the steady sweeping filters you had moving along. A sweeping wind effect would also go nicely with this piece. Lay off on the percussion, the piece sounds better without it. Sometimes, less is more. M

 

All in all, good piece but it could use quite a bit of development in terms of chords. PM me at anytime if you have any questions about my critique.
