I've not been around much lately due to various things, but here's a song I did a couple of months back that never quite got finished.  Or maybe it did?
 
The style starts out as orchestral/chamber music (representing the puritanical pilgrims), and then the Indians arrive (with their big drums and such).  Anyway, I'd be curious what you folks think of it.  Maybe it works as-is?

Thanks in advance for listening. :)
 
EDIT: uploaded a new "added drums" mix on Feb 4th.  Thanks for your suggestions everyone!  I hope you like the new version.

Walt, I think this sounds pretty darn good as is.  Had it been much longer, it would have needed another movement, but it can stand on its own.  I think it begs for a video or something to give it focus, but that's just a conceptual thing.  The music rocks.

There are possibly some bits I might have changed in the mix but that is just purely personal taste and should be in no means interpreted as there being anything wrong with this mix.
 
Nice, thanks for sharing

Lots of nice sounds there Walt. I think the middle section is way to long for this piece, unless, of course, you plan on adding some other instrumentation in the middle, like some awesome guitar work, bass and lead, then it would work better for me, but, it's not about me because it is your piece. It all sounds great and a nice mix, but as is the middle could be cut back some so the over all length of the piece is about 2:30 long. Just my opinion. Great work as usual.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I liked it. IMHO, I would have brought out the drive in the percussion more but that's a difference in taste. I also felt that the percussion section could have been introduced as a theme (like the intro)
It's fine as is  though Walt! You give me Ideas, as do all your recordings, on how to use the soft synths!! Thanks for the post!

It all sounds good to me. I like disharmonies created by the changing chords.

Thanks Lynn.  I wasn't planning on a video, but maybe I should start thinking about doing something like that.  I really liked your "Our Planet" video.  It took the song to the next level.

Thanks Mr. Wookiee!  I'd be interested to hear your ideas if you're interested in sharing them. :)

Thanks John.  I have been thinking of adding some guitar (or other lead instrument) over the section around 1:50 to 2:30.  There are some things happening there under the hood, but maybe they're a bit too subtle.

Many elements of the mix that I like - everything fits together well, and the composition is nice.
 
The synth that comes in at 1:13 seems to be the highlight of the middle part of the song. It conveys a good energy. I think it would liven up the mix if it were a bit brighter. Maybe through EQ, or maybe by mixing in a second more bright synth. Just something to consider.
