What I like most about this song
This opening is a good setup for an intense trailer, especially with that climactic hit.
I think you could improve this song by
We should start the second act bigger after that opening so it doesn't feel like a letdown. Low synth hits would help continue the dramatic feel built up to that point.
I returned or forwarded this song because
Nice writing on this trailer. The thing we're missing from the brief is a heavy emphasis on orchestral instrumentation which was discussed heavily in the brief. Switching out elements, like for example the synth arp for marcato strings would lend a feel that would be much closer to the client's requests.
