Mr. Jerry, you are like a flower in the desert.
 
Bringing the classical side to these parts.
 
Very well done.  What kind of piano is that?
 
This is very good.  I listen to a lot of classical music, and this is very good.
 
I wish I could have a big picture view like you do.  I wonder do you write all this out pefore you perform it, do you hear this in your head and transcribe it?
 
What is that instrument around 4:10, is it thee same one as around 5:56?
 
This is great, you are truly a master. I need to listen to more of your music.
 
sheesh

Glad you enjoyed it Jesse.  I compose in Sonar, popping notes onto the staff view and creating a final score in Sibelius when I am done with the piece.  There are two soft synth timbres in the piece, using Massive from Native Instruments.  The first is called Triplet Steps, I programmed it myself from scratch.  The second timbre, also in Massive, is a factory sound called "Flying Apes".  That's the one I think you're referring to, the one that comes in toward the end. 
 
The piano is from Native Instruments Kontakt library.   Here's the score if you want to see it:

I read your comment to Jesse. I was surprised that you don't use a controller, but then thought about it as perhaps more of a mathematical approach to composing. I can appreciate how it could be done without the use of a controller, and perhaps faster.
 
Well anyway, this turned out very nice regardless of how you did it.

Sir, thank you for sharing the score.  I looked at it and realized again the skill it takes to complete something like this.  Yes, you have obviously spent the time, honed your workflow, and eeked from your massive creative playground something with intense emotion.
 
I had to listen to it again.  In fact I will bookmark this.
 
Also, love the pause at 2:13, or the way you held that chord on the piano just right there, the way you shift gears @ 4:34, nice.  Thanks for the tutorial.
 
Jesse Q, Screed

Hmmm...  could be one of my favorite pieces from you, Jerry.    Something about just "works" for me.
