Karoliina just E-mailed me to tell me that she just finished her new song.
This one sounds more like Vangelis than I have ever done before. It combines some symphonic elements (some (sampled) instruments from symphonic orchestra were used) with synthetic sounds.

I like it!
Beautiful, Karoliina! Thanks for sharing, Philip.
I wouldn’t refer to Vangelis; thats more synthesizer music. We usually call this music ‘ambient’. The beat is very appropriate for some game music, while the melodies are peaceful and harmonic. For example, try to get a copy of the OST of the game Warcraft III, or if you played the game, you know how the music blends in perfectly with the game adding to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, there are only 2 modes: war and peace/normal on which the music is decided (and also, the race you play). Still, even with this limitation, its well done. I don’t like churches, so can’t comment on that…
PS: You might want to get rid off the last seconds of silence.
