Song/Collab/Review Megathread (For all)

[AshGe]

Hello, I'd like to have a feedback on this music I composed for a personal project (not developed yet).

(I won't post the link for this sequence as it sounds completely messed up when you load the MIDI in the editor of that site


My knowledge in music theory is (really) extremely limited. I made that on a MIDI app called Xewton Music Studio on my iPod few years ago.

So, I'd mostly like to know what could be improved in that piece, and what does / doesn't work.

Thank you in advance =D

Very peaceful! The eastern sense delves it into an overall theme of tranquility, which isn't quite bad at all.

My favorite part of the song comes around the three minute mark, as the chimes express some sort of mysterious winter feel. As it progresses, the snow begins to slowly melt away into springtime, but the protagonist remains persistent to become better. The hero-in-training continues to practice his skills throughout the four seasons, and finds his light in the darkness around the five minute mark.

I just kinda had to base a story off the file name haha. It doesn't hurt to guess, it's the way I envision music, so sorry if I look slightly weird doing this. The best I can describe the song structure is like a timelapse BGM. You see something grow up and change, then you go back to reminisce from day one, where it all began.

The only complaint I have might be at the end, when the bells just appear out of nowhere. It's not too sudden or anything that it destroys the whole atmosphere of the composition, but rather unnecessary and weakens the overall track. Then again, I can see why you would incorporate them, as some sort of "spirit" communicating to the protagonist.

Ohh waa, I completely forgot the very end with the bells :o  I couldn't place them anywhere in the piece, so I left it out to the very far left of the piano roll editor X) .

Thanks for the feedbacks! (I absolutely love the way you're interpreting the music! (I too create small stories sometimes))
