I love the beginning. The melody was very nice and sweet, however I'm going to have to say that there was too much damp pedal. The damp, reverb effect was a little too much.
The the beat came in at a good time. Nice and relaxing, just flowing with the sounds. Perfect music for when I space out.
Ha, sad excuse for a lack of inspiration. What the hell is that supposed to mean? I love your little description :D This piece touched me. I think it's the repetitiveness that I loved the most, and how those small sounds come to add in nicely, just finding their way in. Living life:)

"Overall, I get the feel."

The only problem is that sometimes, a lot of the notes (mostly the slightly repeating lower keys) don't seem to match up, as if unintentional.
The reverbing on the piano is good, though. This had an okay feel on me. I agree with Musical-Pants on the dark castle theme, but a bit lighter because sometimes the piano arps went out of key, and it wasn't as pleasant.
Lol, now I feel like I have this creepy dark feeling in my room.

To start out, I'm gonna keep it short this time ;)
The beginning was quite intriguing, and mysteriously cute-sounding. It's the bells, they do that. o.o
That vocal bit came right on time, however, the synth immediately after that didn't really suit the song until the later arps came in. And when they did, they brought this awesome bass with them.
About the beat? I don't even have to say it. The beats in your songs are LEGENDARY. They own.
Sounds like a decent amount of work was put into this. And you know what else? Random--I love that little airy, industrial bit that you put at the end of your songs--it gives it that not-yet-finished-but-actually-finishe d tone to it, and that cycerin touch :P
[okay..I kept it RELATIVELY short :D]

Those stupid bastards.

This is very impressive for your first ambient piece. It's very calming and relaxing, but not enough to make to snooze off right away, which is good.
I have to say, I was amazed right from the start. Relaxing rhythm, easy bass, wonderful small melodies. The waves were a great touch, as well.
A 10 all in itself. Lovely ending, too.
I am thoroughly impressed. No criticism from me! :D

An interesting blend of random epic battles in each pattern.. haha
The beat was by far my favorite part of the song, the strings at 1:35 were a little odd, though, but right when it all came back in at 1:41, it was good. I liked your ending, by the way, which I haven't been saying for a while now.
The only main thing I didn't like about the song was sometimes it seemed very off, especially when those little background whistles came in. It was what added to the random mix, though, so it's all good.
I can kind of see this in a hilarious night flash battle :P

submission: String Beat

date: June 12, 2008

I'd consider this funk, and awesome funk by the way !
The beat is total awesomeness in itself, though a little repetitive, and the strings in the middle were okay. I'd say the beginning strings were better, though. It gave it this elegant, cool funk sound.
I didn't really like the end, though. It was like having my marshmallows taken away from me :O

You've got a 10 on this one, buddy! It mostly goes for sheer originality and being absolutely brilliant. I'm telling you, my friend: One day, you will be known as the Great Composer of Classical Awesomeness.
:D
The little piano solo drama part that Homero mentioned doesn't necessarily need anything there. I think it sounds wonderful. It's a nice, strong burst. Very..epicish. :D
You know, I always had disliked the horn for some reason..but in this song you have successfully changed that. Speaking of the horn, when the piece reaches 20 seconds, it seems to get a little too loud. Not much, as this is my 5th or 6th time listening :D So I tend to over-scrutinize. Of course, that happens when I make my own pieces--by the time I submit my piece I'm almost sick of it! :O

I can't give enough praise for this..it's sort of struck something in me, if that doesn't sound weird enough.. \=)
It has a very unique feel to it, yet I know it belongs in some elite Central European classical categorey xD I'm overdoing the tiny details. Haha I did this to cycerin, too. Sorry if my first impressions are too long, but I'm just trying to let you know that I am absolutley amazed :D

I always admired those slow fade-outs, I used to get annoyed when songs had very small fadeouts or none :D?
This does have the same feel as Instrumental #4 to me, a nice relaxed vibe, but slowly energy building. Something I'd probably use to wake myself up in the morning if I fell asleep on time.
I loved the guitar and its mellowness; those soft guitar sounds I always fall for :D
For some reason I actually picture myself at a college campus (which for some reason this song causes me to think BACK, not into the future), but one more secluded. Somewhere in the mid-east--maybe North Carolina or Virginia. I don't know. It's the trees-ish, mid-north feeling.
The synths were a little repetitive and I couldn't hear much bass, that's about the only thing I have for constructive criticism. I forgive you, but still I highly doubt anyone will vote unfavorably on this. I mean come on, 85 votes and nearly 4.70 !
All in all though, it's another successful piece bound to be found high on NG's charts ;)
Peace

I think this is definitely one of my favorite tracks from you.
The beginning starts out intriguing, and it goes straight into a great melody. The bass notes are in the lead, letting the rest of the melody follow right along. And the beat is creative and suitable to this very piece.
It's very cute and meaningful in my kind of way, I love what you did with this piece. The only thing I didn't necessarily like was how it ended. Did you wrap it?
Anyway, this lifted my spirits plenty, plus your mini creation story up there made me smile :D
For some reason, straight from the beginning, I suddenly imagined this as a main menu song for my favorite cute comedy, that had every touch of seriousness to it anyway--the DVD that I just bought yesterday and have been dying to watch, so I pull it out and stick it in the DVD player, flop on my couch and hit the button. (I doubt this such movie will ever come out..it's all in my head )
I think my favorite part is when it got nice and simple, but all cute and irresistable :48 - 1:03 or something.
And I swear to you, if I ever get Flash (I'm really hoping :D), I am going to make one hell of a cute little movie (or long), make sure it's the perfectest job ever, make sure the animations are good and everything, and I will use this very loop as my main menu song. I have set my mind on it.
--*I've got my mind set on you*--
Haha that just entered my head.
Sorry for the non-making senseness of some sentences, but this is how I get when I hear an ultimate!! :D:D:D <3

"Another excellent addition to the ambience section"

Dragon down there took the words out of my mouth.
The piano feel to it was soothing, relaxing. The synths in the background were nice and mellow.
This song has pretty much the same feel to it as most of your other songs. I think I like this the best because of its simplicity, yet complicatedness. The strings in the background always serve well to shape up the already perfect piano playing.

Also, I know what you mean with the lot of ideas sitting in some folder or another. My hard drive's getting fuller each day--I have so many ideas so often, I create something almost every other day, haha. Of course, it stays there until several months later when I'm actually done with it and some other stuff..

Again, great job, I am very impressed yet again. I'm glad for your inspiration, too. Interesting title, also.
