"Awesome"

submission: Certain Defeat

date: July 5, 2006

Hey dj_padman1

I've been listening to your works for a while now, regretably not leaving many reviews. This piece is very well orchestrated, paints the mood effectively. As if you are seeing through the eyes of the fallen, watching a corrupt kingdom being torn from the inside out, lacerating the ambitions, not to forget, the heads of those too weak to oppose the strong...

so many images I could tell you, many of which I can't without some form of image ;).

the melody that starts at 1:08 is just so damn moving, so evil, so dark.

5/5 from me dj_padman, keep them coming. I'm not totally defeated, i'll still hang around, drop by every once in a while to leave reviews.

Very nice sound effects, especially that rusty swing kinda sound near the beginning.

Score: 10

"Nice!"

hey RaustBlackDragon, it has been a while man, how you been ^^.

I'm glad to see you submit, I thought for a minute you might not come back. Sorry I didn't review some of the other pieces, its been a hectic month.

Anyways.

This piece makes great use of the Spiccato strings, diffinatly prepares me for a battle feel, especially with that timpini.

I think you should watch your volume levels man, it gets a bit distorted when you bring in the brass, the strings, and the timpini.

Great use of repition and the flutes, very nice. I especially love it when the strings go up an octave.

The melody is very battle like indeed.

Have you considered putting bells into this piece. Make it an UBER epic piece.

Still, awesomely awesome Raust, 5/5 from me, keep them coming.

Score: 9

"Neat"

submission: fd%% Winds of Change

date: July 4, 2006

hey franklind23, its been a long time since you posted.

This piece is definatly a slower, more laid back trance piece, the melody soft, serene, and just gentle.

Nice pad use, and the synths work well together. he melody near the end got a bit repetitive, but the very end of it altered nicely.

I think you should have used the line "Winds of Change" only once, near the end. It would have in my opinion made a bigger impact on the listener. Maybe as a finale thing before the song ends.

Overall though, very nice work. 5/5 from me franklind23, keep them coming.

"Going home..."

submission: Dreams of Home--A Lullaby

date: July 4, 2006

this can EASILY be used in ANY game... its so wonderful, and gentle... I can see the hero basking in the light, sitting under a tree on a cliff, the wind gently brushing against the tall grass, the birds nesting.

The whole works.

That ocarina sounds so incredible, you must tell me where you found it.

I don't think anything should be added to this piece at all, just extended, its damn perfect the way it is right now.

5/5 from me smartpoetic, keep them coming!

Score: 8

"A well known path."

submission: the found piper

date: July 4, 2006

As mentioned before, this VST did not seem to work that well, yet I when I listen to the guitar itself with the distortion, I hear the melody clearly, and like the Lost Piper, it tells a subtle story, as if rays of light filter in through the canopy of trees as he finds his way out.

The sun shines once more for this person.

An idea that could work for a "found" moment, is once again the flute, and the french horns/trombones. Kind of like a bold step forward towards the direction they know will be right.

Thats my 2 cents rioross, 4/5 from me, keep them coming.

Score: 8

"neat"

submission: the lost piper

date: July 2, 2006

oh man, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear this, is adding either a high octaved flute, or solo violin. Those instruments would add to the whole "adventure" sense, or lost, depending on the melody you incorporate.

Good guitar work, but the song right now is pretty basic.

4/5 from me rioross, keep them coming.

Score: 8

"Has the potential"

submission: ~|Far Away|~

date: July 1, 2006

The song has intense potential, but you need to rework those string chords. It's clashing quite heavily with each other.

Make sure there is no dissonance (as in, no notes should be played one note above or below each other).

Otherwise, it suits the role well.

4/5 from me kylebrandon, keep them coming, soon enough you'll be making really good stuff.

"So happy!"

submission: HappyHappy

XD

I had this image of a young kid walking (you know, in the way where they kick their legs up), over a hill, fishing rod hung over shoulder, the sun shining, clouds hanging lazily over the air.

Brilliant... truly a happy tune.

The chosen instruments worked well together.

I have nothing to add to this song ^^.

5/5 from me DaVince, excellent stuff, keep them coming.

"What the HELL!?"
