Hi Julien
Apologies for the delay in replying, I got sucked into cleaning an
analogue string machine so that it now works more-or-less properly. Then
I had to re-arrange my synths to make room for it.
Anyway, many thanks for listening, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was aiming
for a bit of drama, so it seems like I've succeeded -- I just hope it
isn't so dramatic that it overshadows the two sections that it will be
bridging, but we'll see eventually.
Someone on the KVR forum described it as being a bit too grandiose and I
think he meant that as a negative. I took it as a complement anyway :-P :-)
I'm always of the opinion that little bits like winchimes, glockenspiel,
celested, sound effects and things like that add a lot to music when
used subtly. They just take a long time to get right, but it's worth it
in the end.
Thanks again for listening.

Hello Quirq!
Well if you go on writing like this, just waisting lines of
diminishment, I might just plonk you. :-)
It's a lovely piece.I love the intensity of it, there's drama in there
(four stage theatrics perhaps :-) ). I love the dense composition of the
"sound cloud", complemented by the tinkly windchimes, harp and synth FX,
it makes a gorgeous whole.
Keep them coming the "insubstantial bits" and parts of ideas. I'm
waiting for them all to final fit into the bigger pictures. :-)
