Voting started? That was pretty quiet. No fanfare or anything like that?
I really hope The Dragonfly's Trip isn't mis-judged because of it's midi quality because it's a very interesting take on the Rush theme. The concept works because of things like the "flittering" percussion instrument(s) in the background and the lightness of the overall composition.
The deep drum in Mist adds to the atmosphere and, along with the harp, adds sort of an oriental feel. It sounds a little like something I cound hear from Okami, and that's certainly not a bad thing.
All in all, while I think the quantity of submissions is pretty weak, the quality more or less makes up for it (... right?). This was my first competition, and regardless of the outcome, I look forward to entering another. ; D Maybe next time we'll get a few more entries.
@D-Pad: I linked your song very much, it's touching :3 Though it was a bit dissonant at parts and IMO the ending was a bit sudden.
Thanks!
Yeah, I tend to end most of my music with cliff-hangers -- I like them, but perhaps this wasnt the time to use one? I dunno. It fit the scene I had going in my head so I went for it.
