I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I like soundscapes/soundsculpting when it's done with some subtlety, and for early efforts these are great. Understanding you're after more than that, below are a few comments on each one.
Leviathan
Moody and mellow. The melody is mushy as peas. The voices are a bit a bit cheesy to my ears, and the drums need some processing. Play with filter sweeps and jumps. 4:30 to 5 ish is splendidly creepy. The tinglies work well. I don't like the synth strings and aahs at the end, again a bit obvious -- there's no drive somehow (no bass melody?). Experiment with effects.
Orion
I like the filtered animal-in-the-jungle sounds and the atmospheric build is good. The piano hook riff I liked at first (though I'll have to listen to it again to decide if it strays too far from the background scale), but it became too complicated whereas the backing didn't. I like the way you've used the voices on this one -- good intonation sounds. Goes on a bit, but that's not bad if I think of it as a shift in moods. Again I think you need to work on the sound of the drums -- too dry and 'factory' for this genre.
I look forward to hearing more of your stuff.

anyways the drums come in and at first you think yeah, it's a good contrast to the depth of the initial opening pads - i like the breakdown also, which leads into the next section where i think the combination of pads, choir and strings are all fighting for space in that same midrange, so i'd remix it and try and seperate that stuff out a bit with compression and eq
overall it's got alot of atmosphere... i took the libery of chucking the track thu some sonnox mastring just top hotten it up and rolled of some sub bass
here:

orion - does the same modulating distortion at the intro as soon as the pad comes in, crackling and distorting badly - jusy way too much sub bass and something's crackling my speakers
love the cycling ostinato lick on it, but that distorting rumbling uncontained bottom end is wrecking it all

look, check it out - here's a section of ORION intro - from about 39 to 43 seconds - in a 3d freq plot
look at that massive 20hz peak!!!!! you cant actualy hear it on nearfield, but it's wrecking the mix totaly

here's leviathans intro and you can see, no 20hz massive, but again so much energy is peaking down at the very low end - when it's like that and unmastered you have to crank it to hell to get a decent level in the definition and then the bottom just overloads
generaly you need to get that shit under control with compression

I didnt notice any crackles with the low end, but i may need to tweak my monitoring/listening set up.
I tend to have my volume at maximum, to detect this stuff, so somethings not quite right.
(I use bass oriented cover ear headphones, maybe this is the problem?)
Maybe they are able to handle mroe bass than most i dunno.
Maybe its a bit overkill, cos i used about 3 layers of bass, which i normally do, i like grand, epic, full sounds.
Ill stick the rest of my newer stuff up, to see what you guys think, thanks.
Also, once you have heard my tracks, I was hoping someone could identify what genre(s) if any I fall itno, cos i dont have a fuckin clue.
I was thinking ambient, but its a bit too big a sound for it, so, any help there would be great too.
