A strong performance, Clones, as usual.
I think the sound of the strings with the slight portamento in the 3rd part is a bit too dull.

Hi Sam, thanks for the listen and comment!  

If you can give me a time I'll see about adjusting the synth.

This is a midi transcription.

This piece is a pure dramatic 'moment' that lasts almost nine minutes. And it made me sweat while listening...
Great work, Mr. Uncloned!

A little uncertain for a while whether it was Phrygian or Aeolian (with a melodic emphasis on the 4th, 5th and 6th, which may give a Phrygian sound depending on the background). Leaning more towards Phrygian after listening for some minutes. The song slowed down for a while, letting a single instrument play, before other instruments kicked in again around 5:15, as I expected (and hoped, maybe) to happen sometime before the end. Nice ending motive, it would sound excellent with a more traditional bass sound too. There it ended. Pretty dynamic structure: build-up, slow-down, calmer phase again, increased intensity. It's difficult to point at anything, I think I'll just conclude that I liked everything, at least after the first listen. Maybe I'll notice something later.
