Hello William,
your composition is beautiful as usual.
I like the mix, which I find very creative, also I haven't heard anything with a similar dynamic range in a long time.....which makes me wonder what I'm doing with my life ahahahahah.....
It's excellent., seriously.

There is also the collaboration aspect, you are the servant of the director in a manner of speaking. Are you comfortable with that? If he gives you 5 min to redo a scene, will you be to handle that? If he wants a style of music for a scene you find denigrating, can you work with that?
yes the collaboration side of music for media can be a downside, in my little experience with games and ads I was very lucky but one can always bump into the client who doesn't really know how long it takes to make things or sometimes it's just communication issues (see the book "No Minor Chords")......
the best clients hire you because they like you and they trust you, and then give you freedom: it doesn't happen every day.
Also on the general matter of film/game music, I think the taiko/ostinato is slowly being replaced buy a new more minimal and "intimate" trend.....where "intimate" means 3 piano notes drowned in reverb..... I sense that we're gonna hear more and more of that....but it's okay and I don't blame HZ or anybody else, there's no blame in my opinion: in that context, the film is the medium and music is an element of it, the director has a view and the audience has a preference......
But anyway I agree that both William's and Guy's music would be very interesting and enjoyable to hear in the context of other media as well.
All the best
Francesco
