This is great!

Sounds sweet, though somewhat progressive. What is this theme used specifically for?

I'm also curious about your music education; how long have you been composing?

@Noel_Kreiss - Thank you!!

@Sana - I'm just a guy with a ton of hobbies but I don't have a lot show for it. I guess now would not be a good time to show off some of my character illustrations. :D

@Happy - I struggle a lot with really capturing the feel of an orchestrated piece although I'm getting better. The pacing on this piece is a bit intense--I've thought about slowing it down a bit. It's a character theme for Rook and I'm not really sure how I'm going to use it in the game...I thought maybe something akin to the way Crono's theme is used for heroic moments.

I'm twice over a music major but I don't have a degree or anything like that. I've been working on music on and off for 18(?) years--although for the last ten it's been fairly sporadic. I used to write a lot more when I was a teenager.

I'm very envious of you. I've started composing only 2 years ago myself, though I am looking forward to do it for the rest of my life. How have you been studying, though? Have you had private tutors, or have you just done it all by yourself? Or in some schools? Only place to study composition in my country is a very high reputation school and it's super hard to get in there, but maybe I will... one day.

Anyway, I was thinking the piece does sound like a "character" theme of sorts. Hard to put my finger on the exact atmosphere, but it does sound epic and beautiful. I was just thinking that if it's a very progressive piece it might stand out a lot as background music. It emits a very strong atmosphere - but I don't really mind at all. I prefer highly melodic video game pieces in comparison to more ambient pieces. It does sound it would make a great theme for some important plot point.

Oh well, look at me! I hope I'm not derailing too much.
