I really like the emphatic string patterns and percussion at the beginning. The brass melodies at :19 are great, too. The mixing is really strong, despite a lot of reverb in the texture. The mood really starts shifting by :45, and the more somber and yet graceful tone is really enjoyable throughout the second half of the piece. The piano entrance at 1:22 is a pleasant surprise. It can be risky to introduce new instruments that late in a piece, but you’ve tied it really well to the harmonic content beforehand and created a strong sense of narrative progression using this variety of instruments. Really captivating work! Keep it up, Matias. You’ve earned a scout with your wonderful sense of melody and strong production skills. ^_^
