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!
Another nice one
Overall this song has so many great qualities. I like the overall tone of this song, it really pleases me. Despite the euphonic voices, there are some awkward beats and rythem to you entrances, also regarding the entrances, there are some cords that sound a bit... absent. lol dont know how that works. It really takes off after the voices enter though, Great job. I really apprieciate your work!
I'm glad you feel that way. You know, entrances have always been a problem for me. Like writing a book, I could never really think of the perfect opening. To be honest, the part where the voices hops in, was the beginning of the project! I really liked how it was going, but couldn't just lay it on thick like that. So I made the intro at the end, and I just didn't know how to best portray it. I'm rather satasfied with this opening don't get me wrong, but it could be far better.
Thank you again for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^.
Sounded anime-ish
I listened to this before reading your description. A nice song! I'm not sure if you re-composed this song from the show or you wrote it for the show. Either way i enjoyed it. It made me think...
Potential
Dear God add a melody to it. This song kicks enough ass as it is and I believe it can be a lot better. Should you add a nice appropriate melody to this, It would be a 10/10! Nice job!
not sure what catholica ment but no worries, it didnt effect your score!
Very relaxing
First off, nice job on the piece! You may be wondering why you only got a 7... well I feel that there wasn't a very "present" melody. Nice theme with the piano harmony but there just wasn't a dominating/ reoccuring melody that should be present in this kind of a piece. The switch between the "happy" and the "sad" is a bit abrupt to my ears. This is a very consonant piece which makes it very relaxing. Hope you find this review helpful!
I don't care much about ratings...I'm happy if people listen to my music AND find the time to write a review. So thanks for your support ;)
Sunset
I feel like reviewing this piece because I've just reviewed a song with the theme of sunrise... lol. I love this songs very mellow harmony, but it lacks a supporting melody. This harmony is very independent, the melody that comes in kind of sound awkward for the harmony. This is to my ears only, maybe you could try this harmony with another independent harmony. The melody can be seperate from the harmony so you dont have a huge layer of awkward sound.
you are right to bring up many of these points. This song, lacks many things. During this stage of my life, I used to be obsessed with layering counter melodies on top of each other, as a result I would use the same segments of notes again and again, building on top, taking away, and adding new things. As a result, transitions became awkward and difficult to handle as the listener gets too used to something.
Notice in this song, I am using the exact same guitar riff throughout. There is one part where it takes a rest, but briefely.
I do appreciate the review, I am glad you liked it, though it has flaws, it is still one of my favorites for personal reasons!
Thanks again.
Intense
This song brought me out of my seat! This is a great song with a decent cliche "plot" behind it but the song was good. I love the piano dynamic in the beggining and when the precussions come in, I got a little jumpy. Fun song with a little sorrow, and a nice set of drums!
Thanks a lot for these nice words. Well to be honest there is no piano in the beginning - they are marcato strings only they are a bit low quality and rather synth like than real strings.
I'm glad you liked the drums - I think they are a bit out from the song in they volume level thoug.
So thanks for the rev - I'M glad you liked this song.
Great song
I liked the song a lot but the poem was a little weak. Sorry for ur friend, but good job MRage.
it was a challenge to take real words, and build something from it! Me and him are good friends and I asked him if he wanted an anthem of sorts. He told me he enjoyed music, but knew little about it, so could give me little concering what he'd like in the piece.
he had this poem on his profile, and suggested I turn that into a piece, and the race was on!
I appreciate the review TsizzinC, i'm glad you liked it ^^.
