*Golf clap*

Great work, my friend. Your drum beat sounded fantastic, and I liked the keys, too. This song was a real jam; I V vi IV is pretty rare to see improvised. You do a great job with these club-beats, jerrims. Keep it up!

Music-story responds:

Not sure what you mean by the roman numerals? Yeah I won't be making a new song for a while too since midterm week is coming for me. School first, soccer second, music third. Thanks once again for the review.

I'm blown away

The sound you managed to get out of that choir was awesome, as were the drums. The horns were a little cheezy, but anyone can understand that - it's one of the most difficult sounds to simulate.

I loved the arpeggiating strings during the final quarter or so - your soft cymbals were tastefully placed as well. But DAMN boy... that choir. Great work.

I'm glad I took the time to check this out - please do keep it up!

madboss responds:

Well I think too that the choirs are the best in this music. It was quite a lot time to manage them in this way but it was fun and I was satisfied with the end results.

I know the horn and brass sounds are not the best - I don't have good samples (yet) but I thought this music can't be complete without them.

Thanks for writing a review and I'm happy that you liked it.

Fuckin' A!

Fantastic - FANTASTIC job with the sound. If you ever read this review, PLEASE drop me a line to tell me what program this is, will you?

Immediately my thoughts travel up to the flying elevator at the end of 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory.'

Clearly you know how to write an orchestral piece. I've noticed your systematic use of pairs of instruments in other songs - piano with bells, flutes and clarinets and whatnot. It's nice to hear work from someone who knows what they're doing. This piece was very emotionally charged.

Loved it; easily one of my favorites. Keep up the good work my friend.

My favorite of yorus yet - an easy download

This track kicks major ass. The percussion (was tha a hat?) was a little in my face; usually my speakers are bass-heavy, but I could have used more low-end here.

The organ made my elbows itch with groovy-ness. I loved it. Do it again.

Keep it real cheezy.

Again -

A very beautiful bunch of motifs, and a progression that reminds me how chords should be used in orchestral writing.

This song is a tad short (not that it affects my opinion of your writing style) - it could have been mastered and tweaked a bit, but there is no complaint to be made that isn't a form of nit-picking from me.

Great job, mate.

Awww, hang in there

This was so well-arranged! Are you using garritan?! I really have to get garritan. I must go write a song about jealousy now.

Anyways, I haven't seen any of your stuff before; this is my first time, but you seem to have a knack for orchestral composition. I'd love to know what programs you're using...talk shop a bit.

And don't worry about this girl, my friend. We've all been there - keep your head up and keep making music!

I'm off to check out more of your stuff.

i'm using FL5 with the Edirol Orchestral Plugin. i've never heard of Garritan... maybe i shoul look into it. i'm glad you like my music! it is my emotional output. i'm off to check your stuff out! if you have any! :)

Hey...

I have to agree with the other reviewer - your composition is very well done, but your sound quality is a bit midi-ish (the hat, in particular). In my opinion, it's the composition that's more difficult to get a handle on anyways, but even so; the same goes for your twinrova song. The song was very cleverly arranged (parallel fifths AHHHH), but it sounds kinda cheesy without effects and mastering.

Keep it up, crack-pot. I really enjoyed your stuff.

Crack-Pot responds:

Thanks for the advise! :)

Very clever

Hah, I loved the rain. This was a very catchy loop - the instruments weren't too synth-y for me, and I dug the banjo sound.

Kudos!

YES

THAT is what I'm talking about.

You're very good at the way you introduce your instruments into a progression, firestorm. The piano motif was a great touch - you seem to not only know how to write chords, but also which instruments to choose for what parts of the piece to evoke certain emotions. It really is a great skill - you stand out among other orchestral writers in that way.

For intstance, the fact that you chose only one voice of high-end piano (with soft harmonies) at first complimented the song's air-y tone, whereas some people would get carried away with the composition and try to write an entire piano score in the background; that wouldn't have worked.

Keep doing what you're doing, man. I look forward to more music from you.

Wow..

I can't believe I haven't already reviewed this piece, as I've known about it for some time. Needless to say, you did a wonderful job with the progression - you introduced new instrumentation very subtley, and overall it made for a very emotionally charged piece. Even the title and description of the song were well chosen.

Your suspended fourths and use of the relative major were also awesome. Fantastic job all around.

Looking foward to your next piece!
