    Nothing strange here, love the inferred rhythm, nice choice of sounds.

    So what did you use to create this Alex?

    This is interesting and well done.
     
    There is a style of music out there called "minimalism." It is very similar to what you have going except that rather than a predictable beat, it varies. For instance, instead of the drum hits coming every 2 beats, they come, 2 beats, 3 beats, 4 beats and so on. taking away the predictable feel and giving it more interest.
     
    Well done!

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Not sure what Berlin school elements are though I imagine they focus on carbon, but as with the others, loved this slice of Vangelis-style beauty. I'm a sucker for female wordless vocals whether it's Gorecki or Arcana and they fit in beautifully.

    Very cool.  As with some others, I liked the female vocals.  I'm just wondering what you used?  Was it loops or a synth (and if so, which synth)?

    Very cool. I like the combination of elements happening here. What are you using to glitch some of the sounds? And like someone else said, not really strange at all. Really cool :-)

    Nice piece. Felt like I was watching the opening credits to a fantasy epic.

    Very much enjoyed this. Could be a cue in a movie or a top-tier video game. Well done.

    yeah, that was pretty cool...     great layering and good use of very atypical "beats".   As mentioned above it would make for a nice trailer piece.

    You kept the interest up throughout which is  a major hurdle (for me) with this type of music.  Also, the ersatz helicopter and machine gun sounds give it a 60's-viet nam-hippie-baby-boomer coolness that appeals to alot of people.  It's not my favorite genre though.  Well done.
