The composition is powerful enough alone, but the lyrics dealt quite a sucker punch to my emotions. Unfortunately I don't know what it means to be free of /my/ castle of crystal and stone. The world outside my castle is nothing but cruelty and bondage.
Welcome back. :)
Beautiful, wonderful. The percussion sounds strange though, like that one drum is in a can beside my ear. Everything else sounds perfect. Wonderful, wonderful progression and dynamics.
The 3xOsc is strong with this one.

This music is smooth and mellow. Mmmmm. I would enjoy exploring a cave in a video game with this playing in the background. As repetitive as it is, it never annoyed or bored me. :D
Ahah, thank you! ^^ And yeah, I've repeated the main theme multiple times (Each time with different instruments playing, though.) so that you can hear the difference with the melody at 3:13, where it sounds more "tiny" and "alone". That's what make it so repetitive, but I personally think that it actually fits the song.
Lots of my favorite musical instruments! Excellent work. Truly, excellent. There are a lot of sounds in this track, and they're all well placed.
Except maybe one. I'm not sure what that "whiiiiish" sound at 00:34 and 02:34 is, but it kinda startled me. (It's not so bad when it is quieter, like at 02:40.)
Thanks Krichotomy, glad you enjoyed the piece :D I really enjoyed to finally check out the library and i am really comfortable with its sound. The whiiiish" sound is a sword sfx - just could not resist :D
Thanks for leaving your thoughts here and all the best!
It's nice. I was looking at this picture while listening to your music:

They combined to make an impactful image.
Oooh, It fits well with my new song currently in making :3
A well balanced blend of sounds. This music seems to have a strong "depressed" mood to it, which might be what you were going for. Darkness indeed. Now I better leave before I forget how to smile. :)
Haha, you are a unique one my friend. Anyway, thanks for the review.
