I enjoyed this piece for the most part. I think the first 3/4's were crafted well, with a nice mix of sounds. What I mainly gathered was a techno + classical kind of mixture, which was intriguing and interesting to listen too.

I felt there was a lot of depth and different sounds at work for the most, until about 3/4 through. It settles off and becomes as it sounds, only one sound the rest of the way through. It doesn't seem developed or finished, or at least in comparison to the rest of the piece.

I think it might work better if it had maybe only one or two more noticeable sounds going along with it, or a mixture of different ones that kept with the beat of the previous section.

Overall, however, I enjoyed it!

I felt that overall it was pretty good. However, while I was listening to it I felt that it was more like a mixed DJ song instead of a sound project. I think that for this project this piece sounded too much like a song than an artistic sound mix.

I thought this piece was very interesting. I liked the different choices of music, the classical and techno they were put together well. I also liked how there were some effects.
For the most part I enjoyed the piece the last part seemed to need a little more work, it just kind of faded out and I lot interest. But the first part was really energetic going back and forth between classical and techno which is why I liked it.

I really enjoyed the energy and intensity of this piece. I found it very interesting and pleasing how it starts off with a classical style of music then gradually gets more and more complicated as all the techno and other sound effects are weaved in. I found the integration of techno and classical to be quite interesting and that they played very well together.
I found the ending to be less interesting as far as the whole piece is concerned. I enjoyed how it starts to fade back into the classical music and I kind of wish it would end there.

I like the techno aspect of the piece, I almost wish that instead of classical you could have not made those electronic sounds so recognize able. Love the begging and think that if that concept was carried through the piece it would have been not so standard. Right before the end, there is a section with a very classical sounding orchestra that may have been a great place to stop.

I enjoyed this peice. I think there was a good variety of sounds and music incorporated into it. There were quite moments and busy moments which made it easy to listen to. The transitions were nice, and I liked the balance of the classical and cultural pieces of music. I also particularly liked the vroom which then set off another set of sounds. I think this piece shows a great deal of thought.

I thought you had great use of distortion. The song kind of took me through this classical stage, then moved into the sounds of a marketplace. I'm glad you brought the classical back in, because it helped everything be contiguous... however, I like how disjointed it was before the classical was brought back in. It definitely had the elements of the more disjointed pieces, but still was cohesive, I think.

I liked it. ^^
