"Talent?"

submission: Tallent

date: March 5, 2006

You're right, I have no clue what TALLENT is, but if you are talking about talent...

I dont see any talent. Just the same guitar riff out of key vocals.

Random tempo change was too random. I would have a little more break in between the sections. I love how people people think that throwing in a "Shit" or "Mutha Fucka" or "Bitch" gives their song edge. Sorry, it doesn't. Especially if you're a 14 year old nobody, it just makes you look like an unoriginal copycat.

Score: 10

"Very nice"

submission: Defcon Zero ZENON MIX

date: February 15, 2006

This doesn't have exactly the same punch-in-the-face intensity as Paragon's original, but this is much more deep. It progresses better, and has a more mature sound to it.

That's always one thing I didn't like about Paragon's music. It has great melodies and always hits hard, but it never seems to do much to develop. This remix fixes that, no doubt.

It's hard to compare the two pieces, because they are so different, but I would definately say this is one of the better Paragon remixes. You get my 5 :)

Great piece, had lots of drive to it. Choir sounds at the end (I believe that's what they were) were great touches. I will skip all the compliments because you get enough of those and I dont have much time :).

- In general, add more low end in your piece (for instance have a contrabass constantly droning out deep harmonies, it would do wonders for the feel you are trying to portray).

- My biggest complaint is that you sometimes have dissonant harmonies right after eachother. Having dissonant chords should almost ALWAYS resolve to a consonant voicing. Like I have said before to you, your compositions would beneift greatly if you studied species and counterpoint. It's kind of boring, but it can work wonders.

At any rate, this piece is certaintly a contender for Faction 1 :). See you around!

"Nice!"

submission: Chasing the Mexican Spirit

Loved the chordal progression, very laid back bossa feel. I think having more frequent shakers would really benefit the piece (have the shaker eigth notes, accented on the 2 and 4 of the beat similar to what you have going already). The trumpet could stand to be a tad louder, but still well done.

5/5 from me :)

P.S if you get a chance check out my music!

"Holy..."

I just happened to stuble across your music... you have serious serious potential! I was amazed by the beauty of this piece. Wow. I garruntee you if you keep this up you will get some recognization. I'm speechless.

You have skill. The signs of true talent show through when you can take such a simple melody and simple music and turn it into somthing as beautiful as this.

easily 5/5 from me.

What software do you use?

"Haha"

submission: My Little Fugue

date: February 12, 2006

I like the themes. It looks like you definately took a stab at fugal form, which I am very happy to see. This is close, but not quite in true fugue form. Care to post an analysis of this so I can see how your mind was working? I am curious to hear more stuff :).

Score: 10

"..Wow"

submission: _=[Soul of Viano]=_

date: February 12, 2006

Beautifully done :). I love the nature sounds. The piano part is very well done, but watch out for incorrect notes, they creep in here and there. It can be hard to get a perfect take of a piece (I do a lot of studio recording now, so believe me I know :|). But it really is critical for a piece.

Now the only really complaint I have is the voice in the middle of the piece. It adds awsome atmosphere, but I can' tell if it is supposed to be a womanly sounding man, or a manly sounding woman. Maybe bring it up or down an octave (I would suggest up an octave). This really deserves to go to the top, another great piece by you two guys!

Score: 10

"Very very nice"

submission: _-=[Insanity Inside]=-_

date: February 12, 2006

At the beginning I was like "What, how is this platinum?" It did not really appeal to me. But once the drums come in, you had me. It was very passionate. There were some dissonances which you certaintly want to watch out for, because they can get distracting. Also, the chimes part is not possible unless you get some deep hand bells (which would sound completely different). I think if you studied Theory, especially counterpoint and species your music would get exponentially better!

Nonetheless, a nice piece. You could use some better sounds though :)

Score: 6

"I dunno"

submission: Fur Elise Complete Version

date: February 10, 2006

This really sounds like you ripped a midi. It would be one thing if you were actually playing this, but it's clear you are not. Of all pieces to have a computer play straight from a midi file this is probably one of the worst because of its expressive nature. I won't vote you down rate wise, I'll let other people give their opinions becaues I may be the minority.

Next time you upload a piece like this at least play it personally. There are many places where someone can find a midi version of this, so there is no point in putting a computer generated copy of this on newgrounds. (not to metion there were several mistakes in the score).

Sorry if this sounded a bit harsh, but I'm just giving my honest opinion.
