I love how you built that harmony at the beginning, increasing the depth. Then that section afterwords with that toiling accompaniment and countermelody makes it sound very heavy. Then that sudden excursion to that major chord at 1:06 gives an unexpected brightness which I really like! It sounds like an optimistic ice miner dragging along a massive cart of ice. I love those glissandos at around 1:35. That virtual concertmaster is really going at it hahaha. The reprise of the intro somehow has a different flavour to it now that it was given the context of the previous parts. Then that chromatic descending was really cool. Then that final chord, that juicy D#maj13 (based on how it was written in the DAW) is basically a polychord at that point, and it adds such a strangely 'realistic' ending to the piece - not completely happy, not completely sad, just a mix of final colors that dissipate as the piece ends. Marvelous! Edit: I'm not sure if you've tried this yet, but your piece reminded me of a really cool way to achieve a sort of icy texture is by using a string technique known as sul ponticello, where the player places their bow super close to the bridge to achieve a very piercing and glassy sound! --> ua-cam.com/video/fQ2DDI2xI3k/v-deo.html
thank you so much for the long reply and kind words! you descriptions and analyses of music is wonderful to read :D (also, thank you for putting a name to that final chord! i had no idea what exactly it was lol) also, I play cello for my school's orchestra, and we had to play _sul pont._ in our recent playing of the _Star Trek_ theme! the conductor said that _sul pont._ "excites the overtones," which is probably why they sound so icy :D unfortunately, cinematic studio strings doesn't have _sul pont._ articulations, so I couldn't use it even if I'd thought of it. the iciest thing available are probably the harmonics thanks again for the comment! :D
This sounds amazing! So whimsical and full of life. I could definitely hear this being in a movie or something. Good job. Also, I can't wait to hear the breakdown of this. It'll be interesting to hear your thought process on how you make your music and stuff.
idk but definitely one of the introverted ones lol actually, i think I had to take that personality test for something and I was like 83% introverted or something. forgot what the others were tho
@@aleenaryk9317 i can assure you it is not a strangled baby (it's just a face photoshopped to be very red), but now that you mentioned it, i can see how someone could be mistaken. I'll try to change my pfp soon
