I Wrote an Original Film Score in FL Studio

Some time ago I wrote an original Orchestral Soundtrack for an imaginary film score, making use of all I learned by writing covers lately.
You might've heard it already if you've been following on my secret music channel: it's called "From Pain She Rises".
Today I decided to publish it here too and try to tell the story behind the track too, this time around.

Hey everyone, it's my birthday today!
As I've been doing since the beginning of this channel, I decided to celebrate this occurrence by posting a new piece of music here.
This is an original I wrote in May, with the idea of composing for a short (imaginary) film score and see if I could pull it off.
You might have heard it before on this track from scratch video (czcams.com/video/mp0Z0R_THeY/video.html).
It was an interesting challenge, as I had to represent a much more vast array of emotions and characters here than I normally do when writing music, which meant I had a lot of fun messing around with way more than usual (time signatures, abrupt changes, symphonic structure etc).
PS. The story is from the Magic The Gathering book series, I had to paraphrase it quite deliberately to tell it in a small commentary, but if you want to hear the full and more precise recount of it, check out this video: czcams.com/video/E1pZGyq59xE/video.html

[@rawkfistgaming]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN!!!! Here's to another year of epic awesomemess!!!

[@alexhayrabedian4268]

Great piece of music, great orchestration and great mix! I don't think it lacks originality, of course there's a lot of chromatic mediant modulations but this is a common sound in modern film scoring, that's why many people in the comments say it sounds "familiar".
Really liked the changes, the variations and the overall tone of the piece!
Kudos to you

[@music_creator_capable]

Very good!

[@bluetint4643]

this was epic, one of the best yt vids i ever watched, subbed 🔥
