"Nice job"

submission: _-/| A Shimmering Lake

date: August 4, 2006

Another nice piece by you! You really sound like MaestroSorrow. Judging by his success on Newgrounds, that certainly isn't a bad thing!

You have quite an imagination! What you need to work on is your melodies. You have a lot of counterpoint (I hear four different parts at once I believe), which is great, but the thing is they started to clash. You need to pay close attention how you form melodies so they don't clash.

I would strongly recommend you study the species of counterpoint. I gave Maestro the exact same advice :). You have a great imagination, you just need to perfect how you use it!

You're certainly on your way, keep up the great work!

"Nice job"

submission: *+*_collision_*+*

You have a strong sense of rhythm, which is always a good thing. You were dealing with a lot of syncapation and never lost your time. Kudos there!

The track was a bit soft in terms of volume, but everything was clear and easy to comprehend. I enjoyed your playing, you certainly aren't a beginner!

Great job, keep up the good work!

"What the hell?"

submission: Strawberry Jam (Orgasm Ending)

date: August 4, 2006

Why does this have a score of 1.67? It looks like you were hit by two zero voters, which sucks.

I really liked the piece. I think there may have been a bit too distortion in place (do the drums have distortion?), but overall a very solid track.

The chord progression was pretty original, which is always a nice thing to see. Looking through all your other tracks, it looks like you can write music in a variety of styles, which is very commendable.

Keep up the good work!

I'd love to get your opinion on my audio, but only if you have the time!

"Well..."

submission: Great Percussion Loop

date: August 4, 2006

I'm not sure I would call this loop GREAT, but you have a lot of great ideas implimented throughout. At the beginning your beat emphasis kept changing, which was probably the biggest drawback of the entire piece.

I'd also recommend reducing the use of the kick drum at the beginning. In general, the kick drum is used to emphasis a beat, which is very difficult to do when it's playing eight notes. The work should be in the mid-upper frequency drums, the kick drum should be used only to accent particular parts, or help build up to a climax.

With a little work, this could be very nice!

I'll give it a 5 for the sake of exposure. I'd love to get your opinion on my audio, but only if you have the time!

"Nice job"

submission: The Cemetery Of Spirits

date: August 4, 2006

I enjoyed the compositional quality of the piece. It was pretty interesting, although you could stand to use a little more structure. I would suggest trying to take a specific theme or melody and develop it throughout the piece.

You captured a very serene feeling with this piece, which displays your control over the instruments you used. I wasn't a fan of the drum, it felt very...blah (I can't really think of a better word choice). Something with a little more body would work much better. An do give it an even more serene feeling, I'd cut the use of the bass drum in half (gives it a lumbering feeling).

keep up the good work!

"Neat"

submission: Supa Tunez

date: August 4, 2006

Very interesting piece. It sounds very unique in the fact that you use some unusual synths. I enjoyed not knowing what sound I may hear next. Certainly kept my interest!

I think you could stand to add some more drums, they seem awfully soft to me. Something to think about in the future.

I'm really surprised no one has downloaded this yet! I saw your comment over in the audio forum and decided I'd come and pay my respects, but I was pleasantly surprised with the piece.

Keep up the great work!

"I loved it"

submission: Robotonic

date: August 4, 2006

Wow, you really got those beats sizzling! This was a really cool piece of music, you manage to do so much with so little, which is really an accomplishment in itself. It kept my interest the entire time, making me anxious to hear what you were going to do next.

You're really getting good at what you do, are you planning on persuing music as a career at all?

Keep up the fantastic work!

"Wow!"

submission: Conflict of Self Interest

date: August 3, 2006

Welcome to Newgrounds! Judging by the quality of your work, you're certainly a great addition.

The piano sample was good, the strings could use a little work (sound a little synthetic), but still better than a lot of stuff here.

The piece created a great mood, you clearly have control over your music, which is good. How long have you been composing?

Keep up the great work, I can't wait to hear more from you!

I'd love to get your opinion on my latest piece, Stormy Seas, but only if you have the time!

"Great job!"

submission: Cryptic

date: August 3, 2006

This piece had a great feel. What I'm impressed most about is the clarity. I've heard a lot of rock/metal that sounds very muffled and hard on the ears. Have you setup a direct input to you computer?

Well done, keep up the good work!

"Not bad"

submission: omni world [REMIX]

date: August 3, 2006

I wasn't a fan of the beginning, but it got better as the piece progressed. I would suggest that you add more complexity to your piece. Adding more parts to it, and diversifying the instruments.

The remix sounds like it could have some potential, it just needs a little more developing. It's a good start.

Keep up the good work!

5/5

If you've got a second I'd love to get your opinion on my music!
