Angels by Sascha Ende

Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review

Alright, let's take a listen to this track... 'Angels,' huh? Immediately, the piano and pad combination creates a really nice, spacious atmosphere. There's a definite cinematic quality right from the start, which is always a plus for production music. The melody is quite pretty and carries a gentle, slightly melancholic feel. Harmonically, it’s simple but effective, creating a sense of introspection and perhaps a touch of longing. The arrangement is well-paced; it takes its time building, which is great for allowing scenes to breathe and emotions to develop. The drums enter later, and they provide a welcome sense of drive and momentum without overpowering the delicate piano work. In terms of production, the mix is generally clean, although the low-end could perhaps be tightened up just a tad for extra clarity in bass-heavy systems. The piano timbre is pleasant, though maybe a touch more warmth could enhance its emotional resonance further. The synth pads are well-chosen, adding depth and texture without sounding too synthetic. For media use, I can see this working really well in dramatic scenes, particularly in films or documentaries where a sense of gentle emotion and underlying hope is needed. It could also be effective in advertising, especially for brands aiming for an elegant or thoughtful image. Gaming-wise, perhaps for narrative-driven games during moments of reflection or discovery. To push it closer to top-tier library music, I’d suggest experimenting with layering in some subtle textural elements – maybe some delicate string swells or ambient textures in the background to add even more depth and interest as it progresses. Also, a final polish on the mastering to ensure it really stands up against commercially released tracks would be beneficial. Overall though, this is a solid track with good emotional depth and clear usability. It’s got a genuine, heartfelt quality that shines through. Just a few tweaks and it could really sing in a variety of media contexts.
