This is honestly the arrangement that should go into a like— cinematic version or digest of Metroid Prime 4’s plot.
I love the use of those theremin synths early on. The arrangement continues to evolve in logical and intriguing ways with perfect amounts of electronic / industrial effects and percussion to highlight the incredible orchestral arranging.
I know feedback should have some other thing but this was a journey anon… good lord.

This is a phenomenally cinematic introduction. The instrumentation and arrangement is really creative, and the vox are delivered wonderfully. This is excellent, like superb quality.

Wouldn’t it be really funny if this source isn’t used in the final game or if the game doesn’t come out. Anyway this goes for cinematic and does it really well, it’s one of those tracks that has a million billion little things happening at the same time that create a good atmosphere and provide nice ear candy. The elements are well placed, and the arrangement is smoothly done, I think the mix could definitely be improved, when you have this many elements I think it would be wiser to tone some of it down, it feels like every element wants to be LOUD and BRIGHT and thus create a vibe that, while strong, is lacking a little bit of subtlety, whenever you have so many elements trying to stand out at the same time. Love love love the vocals! Very well utilized for this kind of arrangement. Whoever you are you mastered the arrangement game, it’s kind of cool how many things we have happening in little less than 5 minutes while still sounding cohesive. I do think the mix could be polished more to really push the limits.

Very nice cinematic soundscapes to start – with the ethereal sounds and the flutes starting off, getting amplified by the drums and the ethereal vocals. Strings help to start driving to the next section, which feels like a nice cinematic rock – with the ethereal synth on top of it with the vocals. Love the intensity building as the piano and then the strings get louder, before it cools off again with the synths and flute driving the melody again for a bit. This feels like a nice cinematic game score, really love the originality of this one anon!

Is this a movie trailer? Actually lol it kinda makes sense if all we have of this is a trailer. Hey what cinema drums are those? Production is phenomenal. The way various instruments weave in and out is a treat. I wonder, what’s live on this? Vocals and some strings I would guess. Maybe the piano too. Anyway great track.

I don’t have any complaints really, it’s grandiose and cinematic and really well done. I say this a lot but it really takes me on a journey.

What can I say about this one? Fantastic use of what I assume is a very good instrument library. I can’t make things like this sound so organic. The arrangement itself is very impressive. Only nitpick would be that it feels a bit like orchestral adhd, where no idea or theme is given time to develop before it moves on to the next thing. Like there was a pile of random 10-second snippets of music and someone VERY talented stitched them together. But all in all it works. And it sounds good.

Epic cinematic feels right from the get go. I’ll laugh if somehow this music doesn’t play in a proper jungle/forest when the game releases. Production is off the charts, a ton of small details that are great to hear. There’s an awesome vocal performance as well, probably the “live” instrument of the track. I like that there’s the usual whistly synths associated with Metroid Prime in the arrangement. The first minute and a half or so feels kind of like build-up until we reach some “riffs”. There’s usually a ton going on “sonically” but the mixing makes everything easy to hear. That said, I do feel the arrangement doesn’t have any like “point of focus”, I feel like we’re moving through different melodies and textures but nothing really sticks on my mind.
Overall, really impressive track, production is off the charts and the vocal performance is excellent. Easy medal contender.
