    Hey there

    I really like your piece, very atmospheric and creepy at times. Any specific reason you call it a Suite? Only one thing struck me about the composition: that dissonance in the upper strings at 1:15 ongoing was a bit harsh to me, especially since it is held for quite some time. But this might as well be due to the samples. As for the mastering, have you checked the RMS and the dynamic range? It was a tad louder to me compared to some commercial releases. Other than that a really skillfull rendition I enjoyed listening to. Would you mind telling me which libraries you used?

    Thank you very much for your comments and criticism Dominique. 'Suite' is mostly a title in this case. I agree with you about those violins at 1:15, it is indeed too much in the foreground for my liking but I would rectify this in actual performance. But I do need to improve my mastering skills :  )  I used App Strings and SE for the rest. Also Vienna Suite.

    Thanks again for the response.

    Thanks for the info. No big deal with the dissonance, after all it's just the mockup. Keep up the good work
