[In a land of War and Hatred]

Great stuff

All of your music is well written. It sounds good with synthesised instruments, but it would really shine with a real orchestra. The piano parts could use some developing, but great themes and ideas. Do you study music? If not, I can promise you your music would get much more polished if you study classical forms and theory.

Keep at it, you're going places!

5/5

MaestroSorrow responds:

I thank you, to be honest, I don't even know the major/minor keys on a keyboard. Everything I make, I make by ear T-T.

But your right... one day I must sit down and learn music theory properly, because I feel I could be much better.

Great party music

Awsome panning, and a nice heavy beat. Definately party music. Love the sounds, you've got some nice talent flowing in your veins. Awsome, keep up the great work :)

Metalcan responds:

Thanks! :)

[Musical Rodent]

Nice stuff here

I loved the intro, it really set up the rest of the piece. I was not expecting it to go to electronica during the intro, but it worked well. It's very original, although random in spots. I'm not really hearing a rodent in this, but what the hell, it was nice anyway. You get my five :).

(If you get a chance take a look at my stuff too!)

Oijoink responds:

Dude! Thanks man! I appreciate your review! Glad you like it!

I'll someday check out your stuff! Sorry I'm very busy at the moment. Just keep looking at your tracks to look if you have my reviews. :P

Cya!

[FBX1 - Escaping Winters G]

Another great piece!

I'm suprised that you have put out all this great music and not have any of it in a flash submission yet! Only a matter of time, I'm sure. If I made flash, this would definately go in it. I liked the (wind)chimes throught the piece, it added a neat effect. Definately sounds like a winter piece. Bravo!

Flashburn responds:

Thank you for the kind words, its especially appreciated due to the fact that they are coming from someone as talented as you!

[Drifting in Space-Solus]

Niiiice

I like it. Great rhythms in there. I like it- it kindda reminds me of african music a bit, even though it doesn't use really any of the same instruments. Great stuff, can't wait to hear more of your music!

SolusLunes responds:

I've got two more on the way... I think you'll like them!

Nice thumping bass

This music really works as dance music- the bass is so heavy that it's hard not to move! The clapping in the middle seems a little off, can't quite tell what exactly is the problem is there. All in all, this is a really nice dance song! Definately going on my NG playlist.

Flashburn responds:

Wow thanks! yah i always have problems with the claps

[PPK Resurrection-AlchemyRemix]

Nice feel to the music

The music had a very mellow start, which really relaxed me. It was a great buildup, I loved the slow introduction to the lower synth. The beat really gave this piece an awsome groove to it. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff!

Kilkila responds:

Thanks for your review, Mr.Maestro! I appreciate you noticing the build-up there in the bass- that happens to be my favorite part of the song. I'll defintely be making more so check back! And once again- thank you for the review!

[Winnie The Frickin Poo]

woww!

Wow. This better get featured!

Are you sure it's an original though? I think I have heard it somwhere before... :)

PERVOK responds:

:)

yeah, its original

<_<

>_>

:P

thanks for the review!

[Axeman666 - Grey Skies]

Nice Piece of Music

Nice little piano piece you have here. It doesn't seem to follow any classical form, though. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (I presume you are basing this off of the 1st movement) follows a loose sonata form, called a Fantasia. If you are serious about making more classical music, I would certaintly suggest you do a little research on musical forms, because you certaintly seem to have a knack for it.

Some good starter forms to look at are: Fugue, Theme and Variatiaons, and Sonata. These are pretty easy to follow. Check out Mozart's K545 piano sonata, a real easy one to analyze for form. If you're not interested in checking out classical forms, just ignore most of what I said. Nice job :).

axeman666 responds:

sweet. thanx for the good review. what r the links for these forums tho?
