I like the swirly guitar cacophony and plinkity piano mix.
Very Inspiring, I'm pretty new to composing and I need all the Influence and Advice I can get. You have a great ability to control audience's emotions through your work.
this track is sick dude! well done!
Awesome, sounds close to the best that Vangelis can do
Beautiful piece by Liz Parker & peter Esswood//
I loved this piece for it's introspection and texture, verging on the melancholic.
Really lovely atmosphere, like the others I felt I was there
Very well done, interesting textures and effective sound combinations. Technically very well realised.
I thought this was great. So much space in the mix and you can really imagine the visuals, very nice.
Brilliant use of sampling, and such a classy, clean mix. It reminds me a bit of the music of Green Wing.. Very cool.
