[Veiled intentions - TTC CHG]

Glass

Somehow very Philip Glass (reminds me of Powaqqatsi) in a good way, probably my favorite from your "orchestral" tracks.
10/10 5/5
2.15 / 5.00 (+ 0.61)

Calamaistr responds:

really? thanks alot man :) !
Its a very solid, compact piece meant to settle the personification of the 'Eden' side in the storyline. (as in the melody)

Thanks for the score bump too hehe. Will look at your recent work soon, still a bit into gaming atm though.

-Cal.

[Glass Passage]

:))

As much as I hate the statement (I did not use any samples) I should really say that this is a very nice composition.
Unexpectedly nice, reminding me of Philip Glass - "Glassworks". Looping for at least three times in my headphones.

On a side note, I like the fact that you write music "old skool style" but you do use samples. The sounds played by your notation program are samples, sampled note by note on different dynamic layers for more realism, still... samples.
So you are using samples.

Cheers and hope you'll make more interesting music.
5/5 10/10 faved.
3.56 / 5.00 (+ 0.38)

[TX - The Zephyr Song]

WOW

Never thought that RHCP can be made a capella.
Good job on this one.
The sound engineer in me wants a autotune every here and there, but the "naturalist" in me screams "PERFECT !!! just PERFECT"

TonalEcstasy responds:

RHCP makes great a cappella!! We did Under the Bridge too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCaN7-

Thanks for the reviews, it's much appreciated!

[Exquisite Corpse 1]

Crazy Rig

What a mess... Crazy Rig... Now go in the corner and reflect on what you did.
:)))

Rig responds:

Like I said...it was an adventure. :D

[#108]

Nice

Well, maybe nice" is not the most appropriate word to describe it... anyway, good track.
Full of energy, suitable for "action games" and also as a substitute to coffee :)

landscapers1 responds:

a substitute to coffee? wow man, I'm Lost.

Namaste.

[i ate the easter bunny]

Zappa ?

Don't know about the "devil worshippers", but it's a "helluva fun" this track, reminds me of Frank Zappa's music (that's one of the best compliments I can think of).

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

f-ing oath it's compliment!!!

thanks a whole heap, soro... compliments coming from you are worth at least double :D your a giant amongst the AP

[D17 - Mortal Kombat RMX]

Energetic

A good mix, full of energy.
Sound quality higher than NG average, so, congrats for that.

The samples from the game are maybe under uncertain copyright, better be careful.

Echo responds:

As far as i know, samples dont have any copyright on them.

Tks for the review.

[_/Feeling\_ (vocals)]

Congratz

1 - Congrats on making a vocal track. Many people are a bit shy to sing on NG and there are TONS of instrumental tracks but never enough vocal ones.
2 - Nice backing track, quite well mixed.
What I would fix:
- I would put a low cut on the voice (you can safely cut out everything below 125Hz or even more).
- Layer down some backing voices and play with panning.
- If you pitch correct do it smooth so nobody can tell or do it extreme (T-Pain effect lol)

ShootingStar responds:

Yeah haha I'll have to definitely look into backing voices :P That might take me awhile. Thanks so much!!

ShootingStar

[The Love of Marion]

Instant Classic

I predict that will became a legend on NG, soon.
Soon this will get as a standard for musicians here :)) Everybody who will try orchestral with voice will have face a comparison with your track...
Congrats to you and Hania.
Instant classic and instant favorite ;)

Bosa responds:

Maybe it will be. We'll have to see!

[[LY] Afternoon Blazing [D]]

groovy

Groovy and smooth.
Still, lack of a real instrument soloing over and as construction is strange how in the middle (where should be the peak) the energy goes sort of...off.

la-yinn responds:

The jazzman himself, I'm honoured, hehe. ;)

The middle is the place where I want a nice saxophone melody kicking in. I have yet to find a nice saxophone vst, so I've left that spot empty for now. I do see where you are coming from.

Appreciate the review!
