[Lost in Pixels]

you are the only person that can use dm-307 like it's intended for. brilliant piece.

Mattashi responds:

Aw thanks man, but I'm sure there's lots of people who can do a far better job with the dm-307 then me :)

[FD - The Reveal]

Hey do you like to do codin... I'm kidding.

Nicely done track. Great work. This is what most cinematic shits should sound like, not those generic loud tracks you heard on trailer. I think I spotted an off chord note somewhere at the beginning, but it's okay cos the rest compensated for this epic piece. Epic is not meant to blow it until your ears bleed. This is epic music.

Great job with the Tina Guo Cello and CineStrings. Great choices of melodies and chord progression. The climax was the best actually. Beautifully done.

ForgottenDawn responds:

:P I actually managed to solve that bug, hehe...

Thank you. Yeah, there's a note in the beginning that is a bit off, but that's the legato engine's fault. Not sure what happened there. The strings are actually from 8Dio, all legato instruments. :D They've been pretty much my standard since 2013.

Yeah, I share your sentiment about what constitutes the majority of "epic" tracks these days. I do some sad shit, but at least it's from the heart and I wouldn't trade it for anything on this world. Thanks for your review, see you soon and happy New Year. :)

[Sempiternal Rhapsody]

Wait until Phono listen to this one. I like this version better. Much better played and full of emotions. The piano sound is truly ear-candy. Excellent piece.

Happy New Year. Wish the best to you.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I hope he will listen to this one! I'd love to hear his comments :)
I'm glad that you've had yourself a listen though! Thank you for the lovely words, and for the best wishes!

I'm a bit late, but Happy New Year to you as well :D

[FD - Hope From Destruction]

Having both Sateras approving this track is an honor. You're probably somebody who could use Aeon without overusing them. Never get tired of listening to this one. The brass is dope. No such thing as bad for reviewing twice.

ForgottenDawn responds:

It is an honor, indeed, and a pleasant surprise. Thank you ;)

[I Dream of the Future]

There is a best track of this year from you, but I firmly believe this could be one too. The talent of this piece came from the ability to turn cheesy Disney music, into a heart moving work of art. And I'm not being sarcastic. The middle part is most beautiful of all. Well played piece, like usual. You got the thing for playing softly but still clear and well followed.

This made my morning a lot brighter. No matter how far from home, or when time will end, the future is still flowing by. Thank you for it.

Feeling strange that reviewing twice should make up for my previous shitty review. But everybody deserves a second chance.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Well, I spent a part of a day composing this (well, I had the main idea the night before), whereas my best track which I will soon be releasing, I spent on and off, two months on :D
But my ideas where really clear and easy to actualize in this composition, so things went smoothly!

I'm glad if this made your morning a bit better :)
I am baking Christmas candy myself, atm!
I'm impressed by your ability to look into the future, no matter what!!

I was happy to receive your first review, and I am grateful you wrote this second one too :'D
