all over the place

first part was a little off, liked some of the hits, but the attack was later. Really liked the snare rolls, and the beat was all over the place in general. The tenor solo was very beautiful, with the acoustic guitar in the background.

Cant translate what your saying, but it sounds really nice. I like how it fades out ambient in the end.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

cheers bro.
'all over the place', u should be used to that from me by now, i feel that this does retain a fairly nice flow tho so it can afford to be.
i've been listening to this again today and i've decided that regardless of what every1 says i do like the first part and also i think the track needs it, the storm b4 the calm and all that. i think maybe it's the wierd groove thats throwing people.
as for the vocals, is absolute gibberish, i hate writing lyrics so the perfect solution is to talk nonsense, sounds kinda spanish, it works for my ears tho.
anyways, thanks for the review
;ped

Id rather be the 10th reviewer...

but i guess this works.

Some of the bass nortes during the main piano solo (before the pan flutes came in) seemed like they were leading to nowhere. I would have to see the composition in its entireity to give you any exact advice, but what goes up, must come down?

Ill agree with Khus that the saxs sounded like shit, haha. I also played sax, tenor... I thought they sounded nice at the end, but when they were intoduced in the beginning, they were too harsh. This song would like to see a harp.

The piano part was very nice and playable, a few stretches on the chords, but its all within reason. Good stuff Solus.
youre in my imagination

SolusLunes responds:

The bass notes were intended as a counter to the repetitive high notes, they were kind of the main melody of the piano solo.

I figured they deserved it. And fuck, I REMOVED THE LAWS OF GRAVITY FOR THE SONG.

FUCK YOU SAX IS SEXIER THAN YOU :D (and the harp sounds like shit here. >:( YOU LIED TO ME.)

Sick indeed...

Oh my, quite the epic intro combo there. Piano, strings and choir...with a steady drum beat. The build up was on spot. Bassline was pretty straitforward but it still was bumping. Again, another drum loop, wasnt hearing headphones but still could feel it panning and freqing in and out. Would have liked to hear a little more variation on the drums, like during transitions and shit.

Fade out and done. Dude, its perfect for films and videogames. Loops pretty nicely too i might add...

Good to know youre still awesome :)
-Peace

Evil-Dog responds:

Yeah, the drum is pretty repetitive :)
thanks for the nice review :)

Drums were nice

Im not sure you really know what youre doing with your instruments, melody progression wise. Same thing over and over again, and when new patters are inroduced they create a lot of dissonance.

Keep working at it though man, youll figure it out

DjSpazTech responds:

Thanks, i had a issues with this one but with all the info everyones been givin me, expect something better soon, peace out!

oooh, this is my style

Sitar and digeredo(or w/e that inst s called haha) The guitar came out of nowhere, it created so much chaos, a little bit of my brain melted.

I liked the part that followed, once the song focused on the bass riff, it was a little more melodic. The synth breakdown was a nice touch, the toms came in at the perfect time, i was thinking war drums would sound nice...

i dont how much of this is sequenced and how much is recorded which is a good thing. Why is there no guitar solo....

What proram do you use man?

Lashmush responds:

All of it is sequenced. That's why there is no guitarsolo.

Now I use Renoise 1.8.0 but for this song I used ModPlug 1.16.

Also, the "digeredo" that you referred to is an indian ensemble.

O hell yea

This song rocks yo. I feel like im in dynasty warriors haha

DarKsidE555 responds:

Hm, don't know the band though but thanks a lot for checking! :)

very dreamy

The use of the rain created a serene atmosphere and the pan flute accompianment only hightened the mood. The song's climax sort of creeped up on me, i was like woah!, where did that choir come from?...

A song like this could use some bongos, but everything could really. That owl creeped me out, is that the guardian you speek of? The guitar solo at the end was very pleasant.

MaestroRage responds:

Hey RyeGuyHead.

This song really does have a lot of a serene atmosphere doesn't it... to be honest the foundation of this song was supplied to me by LadyArsenic, I was taken by it, and asked her if I could work on it some, she gracefully allowed me and it took off from there.

The owl is not the gaurdian, but of a woman with immense power. Gentle, serene, and absolutely stunning in movement as well as in rest. Her story was also moving, if only I had saved it...

oh well, thank you for the review RyeGuyHead. I am glad you liked it, thank you for the review!

Onward, to battle!

The melody could have been more orchestrated, using more octaves and maybe some brass would have brought it out more. The beginning sounded fine with the strings, but after the breakdown it should have boomed more, instead of losing force.

Percussion sounded fine, the end was a little weak, thats all

MaestroRage responds:

The melody in my opinion could not be more orchestrated. In order to make a melody that isn't tiring, I would have had to make the loop longer, if the loop is too long, it would make the download rate of the game too slow.

If I had orchestrated it more with just this minute loop, it would have been much too tiring on the ears to hear again and again. So this piece doesn't have too much melody wise. If I do make an extended version of it, it would have a LOT more to it.

As for Brass. It has... a lot of brass. Unless you are referring to the melody itself, that has no brass, only strings true. Since this piece relies very heavily on the percussion I did not want to muddle it up further with brass on top of the strings. It would have made hearing the finer details harder.

I do agree, the ending could have used a bit more work, maybe i'll submit a V2 soon.

Thank you for the review RyeGuyHead! I'm glad you liked it!

yum yum

lolipop, lolipop, oh loly loly loly.

What, this isnt that song, damn. Oh, its sone of your down tempo ambient pieces, i guess i can listen to this for alittle bit. The drum loops that came in with the bass was sort of ridiculous, filter work made it to jumpy at that point in the song. But i guess all the srums are like this in this song, so nevermind haha.

SImple melody and drums that make me want to pop ecstacy to find a rhythym to. Once the drums toned down a bit it sounded nice. Your progression was sort of backwards in that regards. You would normally establish a theme, break it down, and then elaborate. This was all like, im gonna give you a taste, then let you suck on me for a little bit, and then we wont talk about anythign that happened the next morning.... o wait, that was my train of thought last night.

So, Sinerider, that was awfully tasty, do you mind if i come back for more later?
You do?
asshole...

SineRider responds:

hah, thanks for the review

Its loli-Lops zomg lol

I did some bad mastering mistakes in this one. But I think I may fix it up a bit later

Thanks again :D

Hehehe

I liked the pads and lead to start the ong off, but i thought the snare was a bit off. Maybe it was introducing the downbeat before the upbeat or something.

The square lead faded out nicely and led into a nice rhytmatic section with sweet bass. Then bells, brings back the original melody lead. Very nicely put together I must say. Transitions were pretty flawless. And then theres another part, with that crazy ass bass effect again. Nice little lsicer pad at the end, to wrap it up.

Drums were a bit generic, lead was a little repetetive at some points, but other than that it was sick as hell!

You get a 5

Envy responds:

Nope, snare is on... The melody is slightly offbeat, so I guess that is what gives the effect.

Transitions were flawless? I thought they needed improvement... That square lead I didn't think faded out too well. But, hey I like it better when you say its good ^.^

I battled with myself with whether or not to do that middle section or just have a long ass piano solo type thing... But i decided on the middle part.

The last transition back to the original melody was my favorite ^.^ When the saw fades in... i love that.

Thanks for the review!
