This is a verse sketch I created to check and get feedback as far as if its coherent or too rough.

It would certainly do at the opening of a film or game as long as it wasn't repeated once played - simply because the energy and power as an opening would wear down. As it is, it's great. Without knowing what you wrote leading up to it, it's hard to say but a build up (which can be fairly fast/sudden) with a dirty great bang opening out into this section - or a build up then a dramatic pause of just one or two beats before hitting this section? Lots of power and drive in this. Well done.

This is true epic music. Hard hitting hits, mighty brass (in my opinion you can make that louder) and fast ostinatos. Sometimes it is a bit messy. There is so much going on, certainly when you also give the choir a prominent role. I have a hard time keeping up with it. The piece could benefit from adding some more quiet parts in it, playing with the orchestral dynamics. The use of (hybrid) transitions. I would welcome those. I don't like the piano, but that can be personal. May I ask what libraries you did use -> Metropolis Ark is my best guess?

I'd say that a good exercise you could try in order to connect these two ideas is getting (or writing) a short script or story. These pieces sound like diferent "adventures" or experiences of the same character, so you could benefit by trying to apply them into a short drama. Take a poem, a fable, a video game, whatever inspires you and make it into a tiny (or any size you want) soundtrack. It doesn't have to be literal, and people don't have to realise what you've done, it only matters that it helps you in the process of connecting all those ideas. First 20 seconds sounds like a character exploring a jungle or something, while september 26 sounds like a big challenge or a some sort of boss fight. Thinking about those possibilities might help you organize what each idea means/feels like, and then should help you assemble them into one final song. You get the idea. I hope it was of any help! Best wishes, Jean.

How pleasing to find a solo for Double Bass. As Ken320 says, a little sombre but could be made really expressive in live performance. My only complaint is that it's too short. There's much scope for development there (possible once the repeat starts?). Otherwise, a pleasant listen. Lyrical.
