Overcoming the Storm

I decided to try something a little different and try to go from a dark/sinister feel to a more triumphant/positive feel. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

The space you created in the first part is great. The brass in the beginning of the second section sound a bit artificial, I think that it's the lack of difference in the attack that makes it a bit copy/paste like. The transition overall is nice, the conservation of rhythms help to keep it coherent but I would personally try to make the transition harmonic as well (without that space with only the drumbeat and sustained sounds) which would allow the rhythm to vary a little bit more and maybe add more diversity to the whole (it also depends on what you were trying to picture so it's mostly personal). I could imagine a lot of movie situations where such a change would be suitable. I like it overall.

Thanks for the input,

Some others have had similar thoughts on the brass section you mentioned, I think I'll try and play around with the EQ and dynamics a bit to try and remedy that. 

I also experimented with dropping the sound as you mentioned but to my ear it sounded a bit 'flat' or 'empty' after the first section without it so I decided to keep it in, just reduced in volume a bit.

I'm glad you enjoyed it,

thanks again!

The intro is for me too long, but has nice athmosphere in this. After that, when brass ostinato comes in and legato strings - it's too far away (I mean - all is in big reeverb and has bad balance with main melody. This seems a little bit chaotic). But i like this simple structure and melody - works well and achieves good sense of a story. Has a good feeling with overcoming storm and in the end only this sense of story matters :) 
Good luck!
