Title
Power and Isolation
Description
I asked my wife what she thought of the image, and she said it reminded her of Game of Thrones. The two eponymous words were what she mentioned. I tried to make a balance of a feeling of loneliness and boldness, hence the several parts and progressive structure.

A screenshot of your DAW is missing, please include it next time!
Didn't really hear triplets anywhere and the mixing is a bit earpiercing with that lead. The arrangement itself was great tho.
Thanks for the reminder I fixed it!
The melody isn't heavily triplet based, but the rhythm "guitar" plays triplets for the first minute and the drumline is pure eigth-note triplet in the A part, with triplet fills in the C part (B is almost exclusively quarter and whole notes).
I loved it!
You've made some very bold sound choices. Especially the one we hear at 20" that picks up the melody at 40". It sounds like you put in a lot of detune.
The whole soft part with the glissando is very pretty, and the build-up to the more energetic part is really well done.
On a technical note, your cymbal crash is below the quality of the rest (you can hear it clearly at 1'17"). What's more, while the other instruments are well mixed in stereo, this one is in mono.
Otherwise, it's great.
I love melody of this and sound of synth are nice sound
It's a fascinating piece. It really told me a story, and I think this is important in music. I like how it sounds epic but with synths instead of an orchestra, you did a great job with that.
One thing about the mix, is that you have a lot in the high and low end, sometimes you're missing a bit of mid-range, especially when the highest synths come in
I really like the repeating synth melody you used, and the bass brass that joins around 1:16 hits SO hard! The way that softer melody returns after the song’s climax is also a really good representation of how even with a great deal of power, loneliness rests quietly in its shadow. Great work :)
