=Two Mates and a Satellite=

"Actually.."

date: June 26, 2008

Frank's quite right. I knew it reminded me SOMETHING! Rave!!
Yes this would be pretty cool if it got extended. It's still very impressive--you were able to add all those effects and that spacey feel. To me, it honestly made me think of a Spacey Forest.. :P
The drum reverb isn't so bad..it's actually very fitting. Unless that was before the EQ.
It's the fast pace of the song that makes it so interesting to listen to!
You did a truly amazing job at this. It's a 15 second favorite.

Yeah, but in order of raving it up, I should add some more brutal bass first. XD

Forest, you say? Never thought of that. Well, it's still a closer impression than Australia. (no offense, Victor) XD

Well, I don't think this is a bad song, especially since I wrote it in about 15 minutes. But we'll let CarbonWater be the judge of that.

If I had Flash, I would so make a game with this track. Did you stick this in the Audio Ad thread?

Second review, and I LIKE it. None of your songs so far have made me feel obligated to review. This just sounds so cute! ^^
I love the tiny harmonies! And as far as I can see, the bass and rhythm are your strengths. The two together in you hands accomplish this wonderful, cute feel of happiness ^^ I feel like I'm holding an old handheld game (with 10x better sound quality) and playing it as I listen :P
And yes, it does loop very nicely. Interesting title, too. It makes me think of when some character has to jump over water or..yeah basically in a game.
Flash artists seriously need to hear this :O

I'm more than happy you liked it! It really does sound a bit cute, doesn't it? XD

It was supposed to be for a game, but no-one has yet shown any interest in using it, even though I posted a few links for it (can't remember if I did so for the Audio Ads, however). :(

Once more, thanks for the kind words, I'm happy this made you happy. ;D

=Short & Sweet=

"Wow!"

submission: =Short & Sweet=
date: June 26, 2008

It's very nice. I liked it from the very start.
You got a great bassline there, along with the easy-going rhythm. I love it, it just clicked with me.
I think the beginnging was my favorite part. How everything was introduced just amazed me. It just all tumbled and fell into place perfectly :D
Around 30 seconds, though, I can admit it was a little random, but it was really good (my 5th time listening now), just a little loud.
The whole feel of the song is so cool..short and sweet :P And you also had a great ending there.
What probably would get tiring to others would be the guitar, since it's very repetititive at parts. To me, though, it's pleasant.
I 5'd this, I couldn't help but say! Now I'm off to your other stuff.

Author's Response:

Wow, that's what I call a review! XD

Yeah, the part you mentioned can sound a little random, but the melody was meant to be more like an improvisation rather than a clearly defined line. And true, the guitar is a tad repetitive, but I found that it contributes a great deal of the relaxing feel.

Thanks a lot for the review!

Bagatelle no. 1 in A minor

"Beautifully simple."

date: June 18, 2008

Very nice piece for beginners..ha, I could learn to use this. I'm scolding myself for using my ear instead of reading sheet music for stuff. I used to be able to play sheet music on the piano easily when I was first learning, now I can play for crap, lol. I mostly use my keyboard for compositions now, not playing. It bored me.
I wish I was given something like THIS to learn instead of stuff like the Purple People Eater. what

You know this has played about 8 times? It doesn't get tiring too easily. Not unless you're learning this and having difficulty :P

The ending is nice and simple. (Right now I'm thinking, I should improve my music vocablulary. Bagatelle..?)
I love the feel that is established throughout this piece. It can represent a number of emotions, depending on your mood, what you're thinking or doing, or what's around you. That's what I love about this piece. I can't say the same for a lot of other stuff I've heard.

Hey there
A bagatelle literally translated means 'a trifle'. The most popular ones were composed by Beethoven, but I don't think it was him who coined the terminology. His most popular one is Für Elise, which everyone knows.
hahha Purple People Eater.
Thanks for the review

ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact

">:D"

date: June 18, 2008

I really didn't like some of the synths you used there, though. Okay, scratch that. After listening for a while, I realized it was just me :P
The progression of the song was good. Bad ass >:D
At 1:06 it changed almost entirely, at least in matter of direction. Like its high point. And the beginning was definitely intriguing. The song was too short, though I couldn't really imagine it being longer.
Killer beat you had there, true DnB as far as I know! With an industrial, techno touch.

[TMM43] Sad Melodies

"Beautiful melody."

date: June 18, 2008

I took a liking to this right away. The beginning just drew me in.
The song has a repeptitiveness to it, with a good piano sound. The synths you used were also very good, they suited the song well.
What I didn't like was the snare in the beginning. It didn't interrupt the song too much, mainly because you had that great piano.
Overall, I really liked it.

Noisy Pillars (Stage-3 Mix)

"Pretty good."

date: June 18, 2008

I think you're allowed remixes..I'm not sure. According to the site, you have to upload only original work, but thousands of submissions go on the top five as covers and remixes.
The song, however is good. I don't think it needs much work, but I'm tired and I might miss something. It has a good variety of sounds, though it's repetitive.

Author's Response:

Thank you for your comment, Vesta J !

I agree with the repetitivity...that´s a problem most of the SID-remixes have to deal with, because the C64 tunes are not very long...and very often programmed to loop. I tried to give the bass and the lead some variation to "hide" this fact ;)

Reasoner- Where Do We Turn

"I see you're good at titles."

date: June 18, 2008

There's this piano piece I'm trying to submit, though I can't think of a good title for it! Agh. I'm thinking of submitting it today..I'm just going to have to think of something :)
So let me get on to the review. Thanks for PMing me on this, I'm happy to check out stuff :D
This is, again, very beautifully composed and played, perfect for movie score..or flash :P And I know what you mean when you say you were feeling inspired..I didn't realize what inspiration really was until a little while ago! I'd just make up stuff out of boredom, which explains why my earlier stuff wasn't as great.

Back to the song--> its soothing yet slightly down, maybe because of the title, or it's just me. I do think you could expand on this a little, though. But not too make it too complicated. It might lose its feel that way..

Some of the best music comes when you least expect it. Don't ever let it go when it comes to you or you might lose it forever. Thanks again friend for stopping by

Slaughterhouse--_--

"Ehh.."

date: June 17, 2008

I really didn't like the synths you used..they were too scratchy to the note..at least the main one. The drums were pretty good, though.
I can see thisas an evil genocide chamber.
