This piece is being created as part of a non-FAWM challenge to produce music based on a provided image. One of the rules is a 90-second length limit. I'm not sure how close I am to done, but I'm declaring a pause while I consider its current state.

Nice, feels like an intro piece to something bigger. Despite the short length, has a lot of development with a buildup, then a centerpice and then winding down. Definitely hearing classical influences, also with the different instruments each taking their role. My favorite bit are the foreboding timpani rolls around 0:35 and then the bassdrums going loose afterwards - the giant is awakened I guess. And the final part that falls back on the intro. Great little piece.
Thanks! I couldn't have imagined how hard it was to create a "story arc" in 90 seconds until I tried it.
Oooh I really like this. Found this because of the forum thread and really dig it.
That classic sounding arpeggio and bass line with a metallic edge are so cool together. I like how modern and ancient elements seem to come into the same clearing here.
The harp line is so pretty. Strings bring a feeling of lift and just bigness (there's no other way to say that, I tried). The drums were awesome, probably my favourite part. I wanted more of them.
Yes what a noble piece with so many sumptuous sounds and such a perfect tempo. could be part of a suite of different movements perhaps. Great.
