so...nice ideea, i liked some of the percution.you have to be more carefull with the scales you use.sometimes you use natural and melodic minor at the same time on diferent instruments...that make a very unpleasant dissonance,you may use diferent scales at the same time but that should be in style(like post romantic music)and after a while the repetition of rythm (same and same again...)could be done different,like changing colours.4measures you use one snare next 4 you use a diferent one ...make a breack,use different layers so snare react on velocity.you can also make some tricks to sound more realistic.try to pan violins on left ,second left-middle,viola middle-right and cello right.bass on middle.percution also.try to think like for real orchestra.hope i was helpfull.

all very helpful and true sorohanro. To be honest this is the earlier version of the song, but most of what you say applies to that song to. The thing with this song was it was a very new angle for me to shoot, and I suppose I did very well go and just trip over thirty or so potholes on my way to the end. Still, I am proud of this piece, and to whom it is dedicated. This song helped me understand several new aspects of creating music, you must understand, since I personally don't know ANY music theory what-so-ever, I learn by trial and error, and though many errors may have been done with this piece, they were definatly useful for learning.

Thank you for your thoughtful review.

well...i'm not a beautifull girl but i listened to it...no! i'm not gay !so...that was real sax?that sound like keyboard or some sampler...the harmony is nice.you can worck a little bit on the drums and put some real instruments on top(like guitar)so the atention goes to the real instrument and you don't notice that the rest is not a band playng live.good luck with the works
