Wow, thanks a lot for the awesome feedback. It is a boss fight theme.
Concerning the counting: I'm a metal drummer and used to compose symphonic metal songs. Basically it's a symphonic metal song with synths instead of guitars.
I actually had this "synthie riff" in 5/4 just playing in my head suddenly and I had to record it.
It actually starts on count "4", so that the 3rd note hits on 1. Then it basically follows the same structure like a metal song: Verse, bridge, verse, bridge, chorus, verse, bridge, break, bridge, chorus. The verse and chorus are basically creating tension and the chorus is a kind of release.
Verse: 5/4
Bridge: 6/4
Chorus:4/4
The counting in the break is 16/4, dissected into 6/4, 6/4 and 4/4.
Pretty cool editing and sounds. I found the mixing a bit sharp to my ears. Maybe lowering the high end a bit might make it even more pleasant than it is already.
The sounds and ideas are pretty cool. The mixing and all was spot on for me. What irritated my ears a bit was that the melody voices were kind of out of tune. Not sure if this was intended.
Amaxing piece of music. I had goosebumps. The melody has a very emotional quality between melancholy and wonder. The bass and atmospheric landscape fits perfectly. The harmonies support the emotions. Great space top. Very impressive. Could be in a triple A game.
I find the selection of sounds pretty cool and the whole piece feels organic with it's detailed tempo variations. I would have like to hear some more synchronous harmonies. Some of the notes seem to be a bit off in timing.
But overall a great piece and the orchestral nature was maintained well. It still felt classical.
