Ach! wunderbar!
Absolutely fits the title! Sucks that FA had to tone down the quality, I could imagine how awesome it would sound if this was at its best quality.

I know, the instruments are clearer and more obvious with the better version. I find with this version, some instruments are swamped by others more...nevertheless, thanks for the fav!

Oh, wow. I love the scales that you used -- I love the constant changes that this piece makes -- I adore this piece! Thank you for posting it, and I'm sorry that it had to be dropped to 96kps.

Instant +favorite!

I think I'm more sorry for the drop in quality! Thanks for the very positive comment, gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling...

Cool =]

You compose very well :) I think you could improve the sound with Echo or reverb, to add the impression instruments are playing in the desert itself, but that's just an idea ;)

I never thought of that, great idea!

you're right, Echo is not the fact of large space without montains or canyon. Sorry for that error. But I stay on the reverb, at least for the realism of instruments, and I completely agree for winds.

Huh. Echo or reverb would give the impression of space... but doesn't echo happen in enclosed space?

Instead, I would have soft winds blowing...

This reminds me of the time I was playing Albion. Neat.

Thnak you, never played Albion before, but I assume its good!

Nice. Definitely an evocative piece. A lot of my music tends to lean towards atonality a lot, yet not quite as much as you've done here. I like the piece, yet I have some criticisms. The development wasn't quite enough to keep my ADD self focused entirely the whole way through. Then again, I'm more partial towards episodic music like Gustav Mahler. I don't like offending people, but I like half-assing criticism even less. There wasn't enough development for me to enjoy it as much as I could have. But I did love a lot of the smaller mineutia, including the beginning and ending as well as some other finer details.

That's perfectly fine, if I don't get criticism, I'm never going to learn am I? Yeah, I did have minimalism on the brain when composing this, and I see where you coming from with the 'not enough development', the rhythm is very basic! Thanks for the input!

Somehow I think of a giant white shark on desert.. :P No really, it's good, you captured the "egypt" in wind instruments.

Ha, that's cool, and thanks!

I like this Sounds like an old Disney depiction of a desert

Woah, someone has faved this old thing! Heh, thanks a lot, I really appreciate happy feedback!

No worries mate ^_^
