A Hero's Return

Hi producers and composers alike! "A Hero's Return" marks the tail end of Prisoner 8's journey. But is it truly the end as he hopes it will be?

Good melodic and harmonic motion, well executed and thought-out. If you're going for trailer-style music, there are usually more sustained sounds behind the rhythmic material. Not at all times, obviously, but to my ear this could benefit from something of that nature, up until the reduced stuff that's more chamber ensemble in nature (around 1:40). The interest really builds from there to the end, there are some quite beautiful thoughts. Cool harmony at 2:40. Again, consider the sustained sounds (pads would be nice) to flesh out some of the "negative space" to our ears. Even if it's a static sound, like painting on a colored canvas (i.e. on a black canvas), something about it gives the illusion of more than it really is.

Nice work, a pleasure to listen to!
