I agree with Glen. In that, the music didn't seem to portray the doom and gloom of it all. I think the music was great. Just didn't fit the mood to me.

Since this site is 'about the music', I hope that's not negative cause as I said the music was great......

Is this gloom and doom? I viewed it as an end to my child support and found it quite uplifting?

Wow!  The first time that I looked at this I might have agreed with Glen and Tim, but at my second look I realized that the music is spot on.  To me throughout the beginning and middle portions the music highlighted the majesty (probably the wrong descriptive word) of physics and the physical laws that govern the natural universe.  Rather than indicating pending doom, the music helped with the observation of the power of natural systems and its impressive nature.  As human structures and then the entire planet collapsed due to the massive energy released,  to me, the music seemed to have a more reflective, melancholy perspective. 
Excellent work!!!  Kudos also to the animation team that created this video.

I don't think there's any way you can improve this masterpiece.  It's spot on and perfect.  Even though the music settles down, I think it fits very well.  It has a melancholy feel to it as the world is being destroyed, which is how I would feel to such an event.

Brilliant, Mark.  Absolutely brilliant!

Hi Mark, 


Very well done!  The music you wrote and produced was beautiful.  The application of the music to the video could use some improvement IMO.  I agree with timidi.  The sadness of your score related well to the loss of all life on Earth.  The tragedy of it all was not emphasized enough int he music.  After the meteor hit, I would expect very tense and emotion driven music that make us feel for the loss we are seeing.  Later, as the post-event is in progress, your saddened theme works well.  I think you need more contract of emotions for such an epic them.  I hope I am communicating this well to you.  


Super job.  I want to hear more.  Glad to have experienced your vision.

Great song. Although I agree that it didn't sound sad enough to me, overall it was well written. Very nice arranging too.

Personally Mark, I'm glad you didn't go the obvious dark and doomy route. The serenity of the music has a much more chilling inevitability about it to my mind. Lovely work.

I also agree with Glen, Tim & Rim... the music conflicted with video's depiction of extream violence inflicted on the planet...

that said, I loved the music... it really was wonderful... fine work Mark...

What about the video production credit..?

Mark, if you're not doing movie soundtracks, you've missed your calling.  Excellent work here.
