Wonderful
Nice opening, the long tones seem awkward at first but later it really mix well. Like the bell tones and the offbeat rythem. very dramatic and fast paced like marching men. quick transitions that just fit flawlessly. Nice little retard at the end. Overall this piece is a nice eriee tune that has its ups and downs, the ups covers the downs verywell! Great job again!
I did enjoy the retard (ritardo? I don't now exactly how it is spelled), and that was in fact the very first time I used something like that. My friend Lacrioso, who also submits here, does it a lot, and does it very very well. So I looked into his melodies and I was able to learn a lot from them!
Thank you for the review, I am glad you liked it!
Lovely
Weak drums... no offence but its really simple that it seems good in the beginning and just annoying later...
Beautiful phrases with the piano,nice harmonies with whatever that instrument is, very plainly performed, i heard no musical phrases, i feel that you made a computer play this piece and if you did, the computer is not doing your piece justice. And if you performed it actually, play it like you mean it!
thanks for the input, and i didnt play the piano i just put in the notes using my mouse in flstudio, I'm trying to finish some of my newer songs so i can upload some new ones. These are all fairly old now.
Wow... I'm speachless
Wow... I'm speachless at the consistancy of the harmonic voice that you were able to sustain through out the whole song! The melody is really nice, and the instatainous switch from melo to dramatic was nice! the switch from major to minor was a great add, i loved that transition. An amazing piece! Kind of difficult style of song to judge and the score is totally bias from my prefrences, you have a lot of tallent!
The average of your vote is 8.5 so, I would recommend the overall rating as a nine, or an eight if you feel it be.
Amazing harmonic voices!
The rain was a great background to the nice base drum. nice duet there lol, rain base duet... the first case of melody from the violin was questionable, also the transition from that voice from slow peace to wierd dance music was not neccasary. the main violin vioce was a bit too demanding for the spotlight seems like your harmony is better but the layering of a "ballhog" violin voice makes it really hard to appriciate the amazing harmony. They get shadowed by the main voice.
Thanks man you seem to have a good ear for music! Ya i made this like 2 weeks ago and now i can see all the stuff thats wrong with it...
1. I should have kept the overall song quieter
2. The strings and violin panning is way off.
3. The strings and violin and other sounds i had in there the volume level for all of them wassnt synchronised properly.
4. The Violin was WAY to loud for the rest of the song just like you said...its too demanding, if it was quieter it would be better.
anyways see ya later!
Classic example of Sorrows
Wow, the initial impression i got from this is obviously sorrow, very nice job. You've created this piece that instantly sticks out at you almost commanding me to be sad. Very nice, a bit repetitive with the apagiating theme in minor though. Lack of voices to fill some gaps in the sound, but I understand that that is exactly the effect that you probably wanted. The only major thing that bugs me about this piece is the ending with that low cord. It makes it kind of apperant that you had a hard time ending this beautiful piece.
Yes, I had a difficult time thinking of a way to end this piece in any way other than with a low A. Thanks for the review!
A portriat of sound!
Very vivid in terms of tempo and rhythem. Great dissonance that make you think, but consonantly flow through the piece. A bit short and could call for expansion but it is very good as it stands. Another job well done M Rage.
Thank you again TsizzinC. It COULD use an expansion for sure, and truth be told this piece could be much longer. However it serves it's purpose well for what it was made for.
This piece was also to push my understanding of instrument communication better.
Thank you for the review, I am glad you liked it!
Beautiful yet intimidating
About the "blasting of the tubas", i think thats what it is, very unique! i like it, it really jumps out at you! the violin played a nice theme that was the foundation of this song. nice set of drums, very very beautiful yet intimidating. The is the chorus a melody? it kind of sounds like another harmonic phrase. did u stick a hrmonica in there? i think it was faint and could just be my stupid cheap wall mart earphones... lol. great piece, could use a focused melody but it definitely achieves the effects that was intended!
thank you TsizzinC. That wasn't a harmonica, but a really cruddy Bagpipe synth XD. I know what you mean, it wasn't your earphones, trust me. I was in fact considering "Maybe I should throw in a harmonica WITH the bagpipes, and officially just make it even MORE confusing :O!!!"
I didn't, it was confusing enough.
As you mentioned, there is no base melody, as seems to be a general problem in all my earlier works, but it did serve it's purpose, and for now, that is enough ^^.
Thank you greatly for your ongoing support and for the review. I am glad you liked it. I should remake this piece, but really the tribe it was for is dead, and there is no longer a point.
Very compelling
I have to start with your near end organ lick. That was pretty sick, yet somehow predictable. Nice job with the song, my compliments to the choir. Love the fast part, makes this song very soothing to the ear. Beware of those abrupt transitions and over dynamic entrances right before that awesome organ lick.
Final compliments!
oh my lawd! Yet another review lost to my memory! And this one was up top! ooooh Maestro you've hit a new low you have ._.
My sincerest apologies TsizzenC. I am going to sacrafice three goats in joy when Newgrounds introduces an alert system for reviews.
The organ isn't anything ground breaking i'll give it that. I'm a little interested in not seeing any complaints on the voice! It seems that the most trouble was with the singers clarity, which was my own fault really.
In any case i'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the review! Once again I apologize for the delayed response!
Difficult
If you haven't noticed the way I review, im just a "hard-ass", sorry about that. Hope I'm at least helping with my comments...
Now for constructive critism!
The speed of this song is slow, and this song is obviously a slow one. No triamphant slaying of demons here. So regarding that, I think the high piano lick may be too stacato. Also the the precussion is a nice add, but it's al bit too loud, same with the entrance of the low "chorus?" voice, that is way too loud for me.
nice cords with the piano!
I don't mind at all TsizzenC!!! I appreciate the honest review, and if it's serious, I will take it seriously.
The percussion has been brought up before, and it seems my earphones are failing I suppose, as it seems fine to me... or even awful, maybe my ears are failing me. Let me tell you, there can be no crueler punishment for me...
Thank you for the review, I appreciate the honesty. This was in fact supposed to be an ambient piece, to just listen to while you flew around. There was no real story or point of the game, just blissful flying.
What a great idea!
This is a good song! I like the overall theme and idea behind it. Love the repeating accented "?violin?" thing, adds drama. There are some parts that the harmonic "?violin?" sounds like a mess of strings, maybe my stupid headphones. And yes, I docked points off for the incompletness... sry man. Hope see a finalized version!
Oh you'll see a final version... very soon now >:}
I think you will like it better. It's significantly more emphasized in the right places, and carries a deeper punch.
I took out the sitar though... just didn't feel it belonged.
Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
