[For one more time]

Magnificent

Love the chorus! Very nice dramatic entrances, but falls apart minorly. The drama is there, yet the strings don’t really fit… nice job with the fast part, I can picture myself dancing to them. Immediate transitions are masterfully done, with augmented phrases that really make my mind go off. I love this piece because of the chorus! Good job with their part! Like the violin thing, really sets the pace and mood. When it disappears the drama becomes absent. Nice closing statement, the impression that you left me is that you have sooooo much talent.

[Fly my Angel, fly]

Flying is good, soaring is better

A bit quite in the beginning, didn’t dig the scale that much... but I see its ascending and it is appropriate to the title. Very peaceful and it is clear what kind of a mood that this is in. Very majestic yet shy melody that pleases my ears. Who needs a harmony? Your melody is so harmonic that the background piano cords gets no attention. Again the scales seem too technical for me, maybe make it pentatonic or paginated or something more interesting. This song is amazingly written but does not get full marks because there is nothing that catches my ears. If you don’t know what I mean is that this song becomes very forgettable there isn’t anything that sticks to me, except for the scale lol.

[LoZ-Child of Destiny]

Nicely composed

Wow this is an amazing piece, Kudos for you man. I do believe that this isn’t complete though, nice moving long notes and harmonies. A very late entrance of the “flute/ piccolo?” was nice but the way this is put together, it really hits you when you most anticipate it. The audience should feel really warm and fuzzy after this piece! Given that it ends appropriately

[Your Prelude (True)]

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!

Bosa responds:

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.

[Enchanted Strings]

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.

F-777 responds:

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!

[Tales]

Fairy tale like

Nice opening, slow tempo and relaxing with a hint of sorrow, you instantly take that away with the transition into an intense phrase. Great job in the slow progression back to this relaxing style and sustained harmonic phrases. I believe that the last note is cut out in this recording. No worries that didnt effect your score.

[TAA--Piano Improv 1]

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.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

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!

[_-={Defiance}=-_]

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.

MaestroRage responds:

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!

[_-={The Spread of Chaos}=]

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!

MaestroRage responds:

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.

[fd%% A Melody for Jade]

no clear direction

Ok, you have some nice harmonies there, no real melody to attract attention from the audience. Kind of random transitions, like i said, you have a great start for maybe a couple pieces, but there isnt a clear direction that you should be going in.
