Good sounds and the composition is pretty good - I like the way the harmonies hover around the line between pleasant and just a bit weird. I have to agree with @slugnest. There don't seem to be enough ideas to deserve the length.

I think I understand what you're talking about... In a certain mood, I could listen to a 20-30 minute version of this track, but the problem is that we are very rarely in this mood. And that's not your problem anyway! I think you did everything right, even if this track doesn't deserve high marks. In any case, this is the highest score from me, although I find myself that I liked some parts more in the early version. But what can you do, because the river of time is constantly flowing and you will not enter the same river twice...

Like this long descent starting here, which is my favorite.

On the subject of lenght ( no offence intended ) : I firmly believe the first four minutes offer nothing that is not improved upon later. Those latter minutes also offer much more breathing space.  Six or seven minutes would have sufficed imo. Having said that, this  track has many likeable sounds, as well as lots of lovely musical moments throughout.

Can't hold my attention span that long after already having listened to some 20 tracks. Which is a pity, I probably would have enjoyed it very much in a different context. Great effort anyway, shows a lot of confidence going down the symphonic route :)

I do like this. I appreciate the Days reference. This could use some trimming and focus on the arrangement. The original Days theme weighs in at 3.3 min. The Days theme has a very pianistic sound to their arrangement. That is, I could imagine Boyce and Hart creating their theme on a piano.  Well done, 11, is a lot to take in for some. good luck.

A very rich track, so many different instruments and tones, it's well crafted and mixed. For such a long track it feels cohesive and the theme is recognisable throughout. The length is a bit challenging for me to listen to in an OSC setting, some sections feel a bit drawn out but that would make it good music to meditate to!

You know i like long songs which are very repetitive. Your song isn't very repetitive. I agree with elex that 7 minutes would suffice, there isn't enough here to warrant 11 minutes imo.
