Nice job with the percussion! While the melody could use a little work I still get a good feel for a dark castle when listening to this, so the style is still pretty good.
Author's Response:
Thanks!
Okay, so the percussion is fine, and I should work on the melody. Will do!

It's very creepy, the title suits it well! The panning is a bit strange at one part but other than that I like the feel of this one!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I don't know how to fix that panning thing >.> No matter how hard I try it's still there.

"Don't make it metal just yet!"
If you ask me this piece could be a lot better if you slow it down a bit, and use different velocities for the strings (so it's not so loud all the time). Also change the bass, it sounds like it's in a different key signature which can cause a lot of dissonance. This could be a great instrumental piece if you work on your harmony!

Thanks! I've used Reason before- it's a lot, I mean A LOT easier to make it sound right with orchestral than it is with FL studio.

I'm not sure if it's the particular instrument but it gets a bit messy when those higher notes are hit. Might want to lower it an octave or try a different type of bell. But this is very original, and that's what Iike about it! The only other thing that could use some work is the end, it's a little strange to me.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Although all the things you pointed out are supposed to be like that, I'll try making a new version, also the ending's just supposed to "fall apart", as it represents Sohn's death at the end of her pitiful life.

"Interesting interpretation"
There's a lot of dissonance going on in the background, I think it may be your instrument choice. I suggest you rework some of the harmonies going on here. Sorry if this rating is a bit harsh, but don't forget I remixed this song as well! I really like the first few seconds of this piece though, that earned you an extra point!
Author's Response:
Thanks, I'm making another remix that going to be as big of a remix as from Phantasia to Symphonia (as in, only keeping the main melody)!

Not particularly intense, but I like the feel of it. Especially what you did with the timpanis, it sounds very cinematic. It's no Smashing Live, but still good nonetheless!
Author's Response:
Thanks. It was a quicker remix.
