Those stings and brass like synths are pretty epic. This would feel in place on a Marvel superhero movie up to 2m15. Second part of the song is quite the shift, totally different ambiance but a very fun one.
I wasn't expecting that. I really like the bass on the second part.
What an interesting track, with the shift midpoint. The first part is epic, full of purity and power, whereas the second one is more rogueish. Great orchestration, these brasses, and the mix of electronic sounds with orchestral vibe. That second part is like a circus, a festival of some sort.
If Don Quixote was remade into an epic Marvel movie, the first part would be the Don Quijote theme and the second part would be Sancho's theme, with all its common sense, rogue-ish awesomeness.
Gotta agree with everyone else that the changeup is cool and transforms the vibe from something more noble and somber to something a little more mischievous. It's a fun track.
The two parts are great new expressions of your undiscovered abilities. Part one is an epic ochestral soundtexture, straight out of a movie with much heroic content. Like it a lot. The second half is more concrete and has the charm of hulk beeing on the way to his favorite whisky bar. well done
First half is great, the second one is genius: accordion -> sleaze -> cinematic build -> hoedown! Gem.

Thanks. The bass is almost like an oompah band. Very campy.

Thanks! I was trying to tell a story so it's great to hear your interpretation and thoughts. Fun to play around outside of the pop song structure.

Definitely trying to switch it up from traditional villain to campy evil sound halfway through. Thanks!

Ha ha! great interpretation. I'll join you at the whiskey bar. Cheers!

Exactly what I was going for... sleazy and cheap kind of circus in the second half. Thanks for checking it out!
It's not going great, but this song is definitely improving it

Hey everyone, thanks for listening and happy you appreciated the change up in the middle. Here's my explanation for the structure. Every villain is a hero in their own mind so the first act is heroic with horn and strings. In the second act the protagonist struggles to come to terms with who they are so the music becomes tense. In the third act (what I'm calling "evil Supertramp" after the style of the 70s band) they embraces their dark side and become self-aware as the villain. Instruments become cheap and sleazy.
The song structure idea is super cool. Really enjoyed the heroic intro with brass and the bassline in the villain section has an awesome sound and vibe. The latter half sounds like the character should be sauntering down the street with a Jim Carrey-esque gait. *hands in the air* Awesome work!
