Nice job, I enjoyed it. As someone who has wasted too many hours trying to get the sounds I want out of Kontakt, you did pretty well, much better than I can do. Stick with it, you got skillz and you'll get there. Thanks TuneMonger. I appreciate your comments, especially as you are also a Kontakt sufferer, er, I mean user.  Cheers, Mike

Rapture is the perfect title. This is a very interesting and dynamic tune. Wonderful writing, and I agree a better mix will bring this to the higher level it deserves. The strings may be a bit overwhelming at times, but everything still comes through. Well done, Mike. Thanks for listening Marty. I appreciate your detailed comments and encouragement. Cheers, Mike

Mike,
The melody flows beautifully and the instrument mix is tastefully chosen. The remix strings sound better than the original to this non-Kontakt guy.
Very enjoyable music...and a fitting title!

[size:14pt][/size] Nice. It creates a very relaxing atmosphere. I like it. Thanks for listening Triple jpt. I appreciate your comments. Mike Beautiful piece! Nice composition, nice arrangement.
Sounds great to me, Mike, well done! Thanks Dave. Your words mean a lot. Cheers, Mike BTW After some comments about the song, I did a remix to soften the intensity of the strings.

Sounds good to me - some very nice multi instrument playing as well.
Pretty piece.
Peter Thanks for listening and commenting Peter. Cheers, Mike Lovely, and enjoyed on a lovely day in the forest we
are so fortunate to live in.
Great arrangement and the strings and flute create a
very atmospheric piece. Quite cinematic also.
Well done!
J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your comments on the song and arrangement. Hope you are both well and staying safe. Mike
