"Great Job Glas!"

I'm taking some time out of my busy schedule to leave you a personal review :)

This is very unique music, definately. It really caught my music, because I havn't heard anything quite like it. Nice rhodes chords, I really like the sound of it too. The drums always seemed fresh, they never felt like the same thing over and over again, which is definately a common problem with electronic music.

Very well done, 5/5 from me :)

Thank you sir! I was really excited on how well the bodhran and the standard drums meshed on this one.

The organ line was influenced by St. Germain...acid jazz is teh shit!!!! lol

Story of a Fallen Hero

"Well done!"

date: April 7, 2006

Great job! Great theme, and the instrumentation was very well.

My only complaint is to watch out for implied tritones, especially when followed by a leap. The biggest culprit was right around the 2 minute mark, where you have an implied tritone (which is alright how you have it, although I would have changed it to a less harsh tonality) followed by a leap to a dissonance. Following the traditional rules of counterpoint, you should never leap to or from a dissonance, and two dissonances should not follow one another. I'm not sure how "classical" you were trying to make this piece, but since you seem to have a pretty good understanding of music theory, I thought I would point this out incase you missed it.

Well done though!

Author's Response:

Well, being the lazy (and recycling-prone) person I am, I actually used a score that I had written about a year and a half ago for the middle section when really all I knew was triads (oh, back when things were so simple). I reorchestrated a lot, but I'm sure there were parts that I overlooked as I was rather hastily running through the violin-horn duet.

Ooh, I just got to the point at 2:00. Yes, in retrospect that could've been changed much to the better. Thanks for the pointer and review!

Impatient Patient--_--

"Nicely done!"

date: April 4, 2006

Great work Z, you've got some great beats. I love the contrasting feel in the piece, you have a really hard driving DnB base, but then there are ambient underlying chords and such in there. Mmm, good stuff!

Thanks for your vote, MrMaestro[no problem]! You voted 5 for Impatient Patient--_--, raising its score from 3.67 to 4.00.

I wish I could have raised it a little higher, than that, but what can one man do?

Author's Response:

Har! Thanks for all the comments!

I think I'll try ellaborating on this kind of style, after im done the full version of 'black liquid'.

Thanks again, much appreciated!

"Nice beat"

date: April 4, 2006

You certainly have a knack for making beats, this is a pretty solid one. Obviously add a melody and some tonal structure, but this is a great start :).

Four Seasons of Adventure

"Very well done"

date: April 3, 2006

For a Yamaha DX keyboard, those are great sounds, specifically the guitar and keyboard.

I think the guitar could have a little more arpeggiated line, but other than that very well done!

Author's Response:

ahhh... MrMaestro... were you not the one who recently made that classical remix to Defcon Zero. That was some mighty impressive work there. Yes... my Keyboard has served me very well... I love it dearly. I'm thinking of getting some programs that will work with my keyboard and offer me more sound and flexability... if anyone knows of any... let me know.

Straightfoward

"Nice job"

submission: Straightfoward
date: April 1, 2006

I liked the chord changes in the piece, I havn't heard them used in that proggression too often.

I think you should look for some fuller sounds, the piece sounds like it's a midi file at times. Panning sounds can really work wonders too. What software are you using?

Nice job all in all, the piece has a great feel to it. 5/5

Author's Response:

Yeah, I liked the chords too.

As for the fuller sounds, at the end of the song I tried to pull that off with the lower arpeggio, but I screwed it up and had the wrong volume setting for it. It really bugs me because on my headphones it's too loud and on my speakers I can't hear it >_> It could have done with some panning too (although I panned a lot in this song if you pay attention, because I was having trouble hearing anything)

I'm using Fruityloops... Isn't that what everyone uses? (Except the pros who use Reason...)

Thanks for the review and 5! :)

Everything was put together very well. You have a nice voice too, it's certainly a welcome change from all the 13-year-old kids trying to rap or do some good ol' scream-o.

You've got some great music hear! 5/5

Author's Response:

Thanks a lot! Your stuff is on my soon-to-review list as well, very good, it's just so many I need to take some time for it...

"Well done!"

submission: Daimoon
date: March 30, 2006

Definately puts a twist on typical dance music because of the atonality.

My only real complaint would be the clarity of the overall mix, it sounded a little too mushy over all. I think try raising the higher frequencies up a bit and it will solve that problem.

Greast job, 5/5 :)

Author's Response:

Agreed...
I'll see if I can get some more clarity on it...
One of my problems is I make these songs with Impulse Tracker and that will export WAVs only in mono... so I can't pan anything, which would probably helped this song ahead.
I've been trying to switch to Fruity or something, but I don't have the patience to get used to them.
Anyway, many thanks for your review.
