Whoa! Your music a quite impressive for someone just embarking on their composing adventures. You have great intuition when it comes to the pacing, phrasing, putting ideas together in general. There are some fleeting moments of bitonality, a refreshing approach, and fits your interpretation of the prompts. The sudden shift in texture at 2.25 in Where People Used to Be is really effective. You wrote some wonderful conversations between the instruments, like the melodic interplay between the horns and stings in Gathering the Town around 1.10 and 1:30. Your instrumentation is ambitious at this level. Congratulations on pulling off such a big endeavor.

Thank you a ton! Yeah this represents a lot of first for me. I really appreciate the praise coming from you! your music was really inspiring to hear and I am super glad to be told that im doing something correctly. I was really leaning into my intuition here and was afraid of much the opposite reaction from listeners, but this really does instill way more confidence than I should be allowed to have. You certainly make me proud of this little work.
Thank you a ton for listening!
