In summary, the speaker is considering adding a piece to their portfolio and is seeking feedback from others. They share a link to the piece and mention that it should be listened to on good speakers with high volume. They also suggest that the second half may need more bass or drums to enhance the epic feel, but overall it is good and has a movie soundtrack quality. They also suggest adding a subtle rise and fall in the last third to build emotion or tension.

I'm thinking of uploading this piece to my portfolio, but I'm not sure if it's up to standards. As always, I'd like as many third part perspectives as I can get so I'm hoping the fine people here at PF with their impeccable tastes could perhaps lend me their ear. Listen to this on good speakers with a lot of volume, as this is a very dynamic track! Takk.

hm... not sure what effect you are going for, but to me it sounds like the second half needs some more bass or drums or cymbals or something to make it more epic...
overall pretty good tho, sounds like a movie soundtrack, like a battle or the build up to some grand event.
(though I was not listening on brilliant speakers...)

The last third is fine as it is, but it could use more subtle rise, rise, rise, then fall to build up the emotion or tension.
