1Overall Description
A melancholic, emotional, but also slightly depressing tune. Technically well done, though arrangement is lacking a bit.
 
2Creativity Description
Originality is surprisingly mediocre. There are only few, repetitive melodies. Especially the melody lead by strings starting at about 2:20 is very simplistic and repetitive.
Transition in contrast seems well thought through. If you look at the loudness over time you can actually see a long crescendo ("<"). This effect underlines the emotional component of the piece (very well).
The climax more or less ends in a full stop, though it's hard to do it another way.
 
3Arrangement Description
Instruments are fine tuned. Especially the flute at the beginning and the ambient sounds work together well. The strings sound nice, but slightly lifeless (it's hard to get this even halfway right with samples, though).
As the track is a single transition in itself ;) there's nothing to complain about here.
 
4Sound Quality Description
Very well done, especially considering that lots of sampled instruments are used. This is especially true for the end, which could easily sound muffled or clipped.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Works incredibly well as a background piece for a lot of games (shooter, horror, adventure, ...) as it's neither too distracting nor too distant.
