[Beach Level 1]

Nice sound on the flute. Was a privilege to work with you.

LadyAlbatross responds:

Thank you! I see more music projects in our future!

[SoundChris Teenage Recordings: Barock Piano (?)]

Good playing, congrats!

SoundChris responds:

Thanks a lot man - glad you enjoyed it :)

[Oceanic Bioluminescence]

Your tuba sounded pretty good on this one.

Quarl responds:

Hey thanks, I've been practicing <3

[As My Heart Beats (feat. Asja Kadric)]

Very nice. Voice could be louder, right now is way overpowered by the orchestra and it's fighting with the violin solo.

[Silije Karlsen - Think Back In Time (Jeremy King Remix)]

This is a very original way to remix/ reimagine this song.

JeremyKingVA responds:

Thank you!

[Think back in time (Remix)]

Very original approach. I love the re-imagining of the rhythm on the voice.

[Think Back In Time (Schrank Remix)]

That's a very fresh approach to this song. Cool version.

wandschrank responds:

Thank you! :)

[Never Let You Go (Think Back remix)]

Very cool feel, very chilled and relaxed. Can't wait to hear the final version, but even so far it's a 5/5.

[Chase's Theme]

Very good. The brass sound is spot on! (what did you use?).
The chord changes might be a bit cliche, the soloing might be overusing pentatonic, but this is what actually make it work in the context, this is what makes the instant connection with the audience.
Cool track, really enjoyed it.

Even if it was a commissioned track, if it wasn't under an exclusive license (that type of license should have at least three zeros at the end), you should be able to allow it's usage. You can allow the usage if people would credit the original product, or if you change a bit the flute solo; change a bit the arrangement; put some extra notes in the bass...etc (like Stravinsky did with his Firebird suites).

sleepFacingWest responds:

Thanks for listening and for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review! The horns are a blend of primarily Broadway Big Band and a bit of East West Hollywood Brass for certain sections/articulations. That said, BBB takes a TON of post production work to make it sound like anything worthwhile. The saxophones are decent, the trumpets are meh, and the trombones are terrible.

I did a few demos of more harmonically interesting tracks for this project, but in the end they ended up not working for the vibe the developers were going for. I'm hoping to find some time to compose some of those ideas out a bit more and find some uses for them.

[Stormchaser]

Digging the distorted bass tone.

TSRBand responds:

Thanks :) I'm really happy with the switch to a p-bass, lots of crunch!
