They sound very robotic, quantized and lacking any dynamics whatsoever. The sounds and mixing lack any real depth, and the phrasing isn't very interesting. MIDI-based orchestration requires a great deal of finesse and attention to detail in order to even remotely come close to the real thing. You need to "humanize" timings, velocity, pannings, etc. So do I think you could get composing jobs with this caliber of composition?...nope. But you know how to do basic programming and can continue to learn and improve and perhaps one day be able to compete. I hate to sound negative, but sugar-coating wont help you. There are too many people doing too many jobs out there that sound way way better than this.
Thanks for the comments. That is what i always think. I'm way better recording people than composing themes. But i love to write :-D
For now, i'll stick to 'easier' rock n roll and left discriptive music for the future, i'm still young.
