[New Composer] Apocalyptic Orchestral music

Hello musician friends !

I'm all new on that forum, and I decided to share with you this little composition of mine which is orchestral with a bit of metal.

I'm not very experienced as a composer since I started composing orchestral music 1year ago, only by ear and without any musical theory. 

...And I started composing on Fl Studio 5 months ago.

I hope you will like it, and do not hesitate to tell me what is good and what is not in my music ! 

I wish you all a nice day !

Pretty typical of what I would expect to hear from something apocalyptic: (1) aggressive percussion, (2) aggressive articulations, especially in the strings (3) doomsday choir. Believe it or not, it feels somewhat restrained to me in terms of the phrase direction and the levels of the piece, like everything's always the same volume and that's medium loud. I don't think the apocalypse will be "bang! boom! explosion!" all the time, and sometimes the silence before an event is actually more terrifying than the event itself. Play around with phrase direction and pacing, guiding us with builds and releases, and explore more of what you could do with the quiet range of things.

Not bad, though, just keep working it!

Thanks a lot for your feedback Gustav !

I totally agree with you and your vision of "apocalypse". I will keep that in mind for further compositions ! :)
