1Overall Description
Short, dark, scary, intense and mystic are what this one is made of and summons. Based on the very same keys the music shifts from mystical pads to more dark choir with some soft and smooth transition that receives some nice drum works as reinforcements.

The music gives you the impression of cold days, alone in the dark with only a torch in your hands, you're moving into the depth of the wood. Later as the choir steps in you're taken into either holy or unholy places where you feel the presence of something overwhelmingly powerful and beyond reach.

The structure of the music is fairly simple, but it's sounding and the choice of instruments have been clever enough to give this one both a scary depth and intensity in waves. To be honest the piece is too short, not to enjoy but to be able to give you a more detailed point of view (of mine) I simply need more minutes and more sounds.

For those others reading this review, I strongly recommend you to download this one and listen to it, and hear that this is the living proof that simplicity can be a wonderful thing. It is the simplicity in this one that has given it one advanced dimension, but the fabulous feelings it awakens within the listener speaks simply of the talent and skills of it's creator.
 
2Creativity Description
This is I say average when it comes to creativity. There hasn't been much used in terms of sound-n-sample to make this one a new approach to music industry or make it state of the art, however the simple basis of the music has made it very unique considering the overwhelming feelings there's inside this song.

The music is very fresh due to firstly because it keeps you at the peak during it's duration and secondly because of it's short life it never tends to get repetitive nor dull, and that is one smart move... make it short, make it interesting.

4Arrangement Description
I would have love to hear this together with wind instruments, and both male and female choir as well as acoustic instruments.

But thinking of what's present here and audible then i have to say that the arrangements are very well. Fine go the transitions and and the elements blend in well. For an instance if the choir was used before the pads the music would have sound "empty" towards the end. But this is not the case here so it all have been done nicely and wisely.
