Thank you a lot for this opportunity !
It was an amazing experience !
You did well bro. You really improved.
Wow massive improvement I must say. It really shows how helpful constructive feedback is in actually decreasing your faults to create better music
Proper feedback definitely goes a LONG way!
That guy is seriously talented, I hope he has a good career.
On the revision, the horn at the begginjng gave me goosebumps
Wow, that piano sneaking in with the harp and rising up was smooth the second time!
This was such a great video idea. The improvement on the second version was MASSIVE 👏🏻
The revision had so much more life to it. A good composer has beautiful ideas; a great composer can make other people's ideas beautiful. Fantastic work Max, you should be very proud of yourself!
Nice use of good advice. I really liked how the piece flowed after he reworked it. Great job.
Oh wow... that was some transformation 👏
Well done lads.
In the revision the horn sticks out like it doesnt belong with the other instrument colors. It's too epic sound in this intimate mood.
Hmm, that was part of the feedback, to bring the horns forward, and I thought they were balanced okay, but it's possible he went a little too far with that🤣.
Personally, I didn't think either piece fit the mood of the illustration, but maybe that's why I'm not in charge of that stuff for a production house🤣👀.
I agree, I think a mellower horn solo would match the tone perfectly, as the horn solo can be one of the most intimate moments in the orchestra.
This is such a cool video! Really inspiring to see someone effortlessly deliver and receive constructive feedback
Good job from both of you. Really great stuff and advices. :)
great idea for a video man!
Really awesome work from before and after! Massive improvement for sure. I really enjoyed the buildup and transitions of the revision.
This is a very nice concept; I'd like to hear / watch more of this kind of stuff!
this would be an awesome series
awesome idea for a video, very authentic
Great idea for a video…and man did Max do a great job implementing the feedback.
Perfect fourth !
sounds more orderly now.
There could have been a million ways to redo the piece but I must admit that moving the solo harp at the beginning instead of the end changed a lot about the atmosphere.
yeah the first version was extremely overwhelming
I think that Feedbacks are very important for an artist. Other artists or "common" people can help us with their feedback. I remember when I was in Conservatory, any time I asked for feedback about my tracks I had received so many ideas to improve my tracks. Feedbacks are very important for anyone.
Btw, in the second reworked (better than the first version) I don't like very much the first part, the movement of brass or maybe the CC controls don't feel very well, but this is my opinion and I want to repeat: congratulations!
Massive improvement! The art and music is on par with Hollow Knight, which is full of similar music style and game art
City of Tears has similar meditative qualities and similar instrumentation of harp and piano.
What keyboard midi controller is that, Ryan?
M-Audio Keystation 61 MK3 which I specifically got because of how little space it takes up on my desk

wow. That went from " some good ideas but it's a little manic" to " chefs kiss"
The 6 minute mark is a little repetitive. You could try making your ostinatos more interesting by messing with the rhythm and adding some passing notes.

I like the original more.
