Surely Stravinsky would sit up and listen and smile a great smile. Those long chords in the string section being supported (and occasionally outplayed) by the horns is beautiful. To me it's hopeful and joyful (not a horror movie). The pizzicato section with the sweet string line taking over the melody is heavenly. Only, it's way too short!! Wonderful work, Beat.
Cool chords! I love the rather melancholy and very suspenseful walls of sound that you were able to create that start it off and how it evolves - lots of cool transitions and surprises. This feels like a great movie soundscape.
I must say that I am impressed that this only require an Ipad and software. Full orchestration. But the Composer had to know how to use this gear. You seem to have total Control. That is even more remarkable and well done.

I feel like this could be some great movie music. Aren't iPads great? I really should get one.

This is fun. Brooding and ominous, and some fun instrument choices. Bartok pizzicatos? Yes please...
And the punchline is very funny!

Love this symphony that includes such a high range of emotions <3

Really enjoyable listen, with the tension coming and going. Like others, I sat up and took note, at the pizz's at ~ 1:00.
And all that - was FOR the piano - ! :-) That brings a smile!

Oh, this is amazing and feels like a film score for a suspense movie. I loved it from start to finish!
