1Overall Description
This track really blew my socks off. Brilliant and genius use of Counterpoint and Canon technique. He really reminds me of a cross between Mozart and Bach. Some of the changes towards the end remind me a little of Danny Elfman. It starts off with this lullaby motif that reminded me instantly of something like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger. Ah! those were the days. It then moves to new ground and explores several other motiffs and then arrives back to the motif in the beginning. It felt like I had been taken on a Fairy tale adventure and set back down safely in my bed to dream sweet sweet dreams of a fare away land.


Some of you may think that this track is a little cheesy due to the Music box sound but give it a chance to grow on you. He doesn't try to hide the fact that he is using electronic instruments in place of the real harpsichord, organ or string sections. He even admits to being a Buzz Modular Studio Purist! Wahooo welcome to the brotherhood man! eeeehhhmm Overall This track has a timeless quality despite the lack of expensive pro Soundfonts and Vsts. Nikmis if you composed all of this yourself and played it live I think I'd have to call you a Genius.
