wow, since I have taken up filmmaking I have not written in a long time. But did this recently.

Very cool! I like the build-up and the variety of sounds involved...especially when the dynamics are on the softer end (banjo love). It seems like you stuck to the same chord progression (I think I heard it around 16 times?), but you managed to do a lot with it as far as variety is concerned. I don't think I could have done as well as you did on that. Still, I could have used a change in the middle somewhere where the chord progression does something different or even make some use of substitution chords here and there? The momentum kind of slowed down for me about halfway through. Again though, you kept things pretty fresh and interesting I thought. There is a xylo/piano lick at the :49 mark that make me go "mmmmm". Nice. Thanks for sharing!

I agree with music-bender's remarks!
I may add "in your defense" that since the track has a minimalistic touch there is no "problem" with the harmonic repetitions especially with the imaginative orchestrational diversity of your music!
Keep posting!

thanks guys! I just always remembered Hans Zimmer's TIME from INCEPTION. 4 chords throughout and I really wanted to see if I can somehow do the same thing. It's amazing what he did withe 4 chord progression. Even Chevaliers de Sangreal is repeat repeat repeat. And I do agree with changing it up, but honestly when I tried, it lost momentum!
