i can feel the john williams influences. i think it's interesting. the samples sound a bit midi, but there is also kind of a synth vibe, which is pretty cool.
the composition is great btw

Thank you sir. Struggling to make it sound less midi, one little step at a time I guess.

Good stuff man! You have some great harmonies, especially toward the end of that middle section. I have a feeling that this would translate really well to a live orchestra.

Thank you sir. I am currently actually making a score after getting a phone call from a local conductor here, for a woodwinds and brass orchestra. Quite the challenge

I liked the contrasting middle section with its shorter, varying-instrument bits weaving in and out...
So you mention this is an all-MIDI project in Reaper. As in, no notation, basically? Pretty impressive for the size of the piece.
I have been scouring YouTube for composers who say they create w/o notation, and haven't found much to watch. I can easily see Reaper used for loop-based non-serious music is well suited, but orchestral... I'd like to see some demos from people who show how they do that.
Best luck w/ getting more recognition!

Thank you. And yes, I don't use notation at all during the writing process. Why? I don't know. Am schooled classically, and know music theory and the likes. Also play different instruments. But for some reason I never use notation. I find it easier, and faster because you can immediately hear a result. Only problem is, I mix up composition and orchestration a whole lot, which usually leads to brain chaos.

I'm a realist, not seeing that happen really. But, I do have the need to stay creative, hope I don't lose that.
