r/NeoclassicalDarkwave

Is literal epic orchestral scale too massive for neoclassical darkwave, or does it work?

Most darkwave stays pretty minimalist and intimate. On my first track, I wanted to take those dark, melancholic string textures and smash them into a literal epic orchestral arrangement.

​I know purists usually prefer the quiet, atmospheric side of the genre, so I am really curious if taking it into this big, cinematic space stretches the genre too far for you guys.

​Give it a spin if you are down for something heavier:
