Genesis — Epic Cinematic Track

Hello everyone,

I’m super excited for my first post here. My name is Sergei and I'm starting my composer journey right now (under the name Aleon Raven), finally releasing some of my works to the public after finishing studying scoring for media, and as I’m a huge fan of Thomas Bergersen and epic music in general, I decided it would be cool if my first released track is actually the one that was made in attempt to come as close to epic music as I currently capable of. Immense amount of time was spent in the DAW for this one, so the next challenge is not only to improve, but to get to this result somewhat faster... 😀

Hope you'll enjoy this kind of music here!

Hello @Aleon Raven and welcome to the forum!

What an intense, lucid and mesmerizing track!  It starts very underwhelmingly and takes its time to build up to full intensity.  I love how hypnotic the ostinato pattern makes the whole track.  And there's plenty of variety and key and meter changes (or at least it sounded like the ostinato was being played in different kinds of subdivisions of the beat sometimes).  The orchestration is masterful.  The rendition is top notch - extremely realistic even with the choir.  The melodies are so subtly interwoven too with the ostinato being almost treated like its own melody.  Very happy to have you here - thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to contribute your music and useful experience as a composer, orchestrator and producer!

Edit:  I noticed that at 3:28 there is a sudden dip in the whole tracks volume level.  Is that intentional?
