Guitar n' Piano

"Chillaxed"

submission: Guitar n' Piano
date: July 1, 2006

so laid back, so damn relaxing.

I would think this would belong in Indie.

I have nothing to add to this song, I can just sit on my porch, and swing on my hammock for hours on end with this song.

Excellent, well played.

4/5 from me Nero_SteveO because it was so short ^^. Keep them coming.

The Garbage

"Impressive"

submission: The Garbage
date: July 1, 2006

This song's essence is quite neat, using both natural instruments with synths. Blended in quite nicely.

The melodic structure is simple, yet effective. I keep imagining how this song would be like if you added some tubelars bells to it, you know, deep resonating "bang's" to give it a neat element.

I'd like you to check out my last piece, I tried to use a few D&B tactics (timpini work really), and would like your say if it worked out.

Well equalized, I really liked the vocal stabs. It was in fact the vocal stabs that made me think the bells would be a good addition.

Awesome stuff, another 5/5 from me, keep them coming.

Fine Mind

"Impressive"

submission: Fine Mind
date: July 1, 2006

some neat D&B for sure.

I really liked the whole set up of this song, I do not think you should have used that line "You won't think that i'd shoot your sorry ass" more then once. The first time it had a punch, after that it got a tad bit "uncomfortable".

I really liked the effects you pull together on this song, especially those string like sounds around the middle point.

Great work.

5/5 from me Petrichor, keep them coming, this is some awesome stuff indeed.

Creepingly

"Well done indeed"

submission: Creepingly
date: June 30, 2006

Hey MusicalRocky.

That nice piano intro was quite fascinating.

So eerie.

The strings that come in shortly after, is what immediatly sets the mood. A very dark, a very corrupt being sneering down at those who would oppose it.

Great melody work. I really like how you made the violin work its little heart out.

Love the Spiccato strings you present in this piece, so subtle, so vivid, and it opens its doors to a rather noble kind of voice, not that creepy, and this is what makes the piece rather welcoming to my ears. It is creepy, yet it is epic, a dark lord basking in his court kind of thing.

The song also loops wonderfully.

Easily a 5/5 from me MusicalRocky, keep them coming man.

Author's Response:

You and your awesome reviews, Maestro. It took me a bit to come up with that piano intro, surprisingly, but luckily D minor is easy to improv in. Eerie was my goal. I love those cellos that come in :)

Yeah, I spent a lotta time on the melodies. There were quite a few in there.

Oh, those pizzicato strings. Maybe that's what you're thinking of...? Anyway, that was a very fun part to write indeed. I like the imagery you have..."a dark lord basking in his court." Never thought of it that way.

Looping wasn't my intention, but it worked out!

Thanks, Maestro. Great review.

School

"Neat"

submission: School
date: June 29, 2006

Has a good deal of potential. Still seems quite random, but this is understanble, it IS improv.

For sure though, for your next pieces, do place more thought into them, i'd like to see what your capable of ^^.

I will give you a 5 because I don't believe this should rank so low, but in real life i'd give you high 3's.

Keep them coming.

Author's Response:

Thank you, I will put more thought into my next pieces. It did sound better before I converted it into mp3, but thanks for the score.

Red7 - The Way She Moves

"Very high Quality"

date: June 29, 2006

I realy like this song, because it moves so well, so smoothly. It kinda reminds me of Advanced training in the chopped up synths.

This song however has a pretty good melody. This whole song makes me think of a great club/dance scene, and a person just watches a girl dance her heart out. When it gets quiter, its as if he see's in slow motion.

"She can't be real..."

I can't really think of anything to add to this song RedSe7en, you know I love all your work, tottaly cool ^^.

5/5 from me, keep em coming man.

Author's Response:

Thankyou! Im glad to see you back telling me all the crazy things you imagine my music could be used for. No need to explain my music too well when your around cause you figure out my style so easily. I did like the gated effects on both those songs but I think in the future Ill do less of them unless asked to. Glad you enjoyed!

Red7 - Advanced Training

"I workeded out on this too!"

date: June 29, 2006

The thing that I really liked about this song, was the intense pace and percussional works that carried it throughout the whole thing.

The whole thing was chaotic, and quick, and this served its purpose amazingly well!

I can totally imagine people punching other people, training, crushing enemies, building bonds.

Did you gate this like crazy, how did you achieve these insane quick notes and make them work so well?

I really liked the beginning, the effects, the quick build-up, I felt all of these were effective.

I suppose a piece like this shouldn't have a stand out melody, but I wonder what it would be like with one.

Still, awesome stuff, the piece clearly demonstrates what you wanted it to, and if you can do that, then the whole thing was a success.

Author's Response:

When I was making this piece I wanted something to sound more like prodigy hence all the gated effects. I had fun with this one cause I could refine a sound and keep working with it until I liked it. Nothing I clicked on was not used in this one really. Kinda made it jumbled in the end but thats why I broke it down a tad. Glad to see you enjoyed it and I'll definately PM you when I make another so you dont kill me hehe.

"Pretty damn fine"

submission: <R> Familiar
date: June 29, 2006

I really liked the melody of this beat, especially at 1:03 when that synth melody comes in. It felt pretty neat there. Again at 1:16, boom baby, it comes back, and all is good!

I would recommend harmonizing it with another synth in a lower octave, to fill in more song depth, perhaps another pad.

Excellent work man, 5/5 from me, keep them coming.

Yay, thanks, Maestro.

| Sound Of My Dream |

"Nifty"

date: June 29, 2006

These severe low scores disgust me. I think people think you steal these tracks.

Oh well, forget them.

I sat for a while to consider, why you blended the vocals the way you did. True enough they presented a very interesting air, yet at the same time, it proved to be slightly random and chaotic, bordering on annoying.

I feel you may have overdone the vocal blender action! *insert action hero figure doll*

The melody and mood both were supurb.

Once again, excellent work with the vocal handling.

5/5 from me again DjMontana, keep them coming.

Author's Response:

Hey Maestro,

Thank U for this support man, it really helps ! ;-)
U need a another DJ to appreciate anothers hard work, without all the suspicions ! ....THNX.....
(ive been contacted by an online radio station ..YEAH !)

The vocal part is very difficult, and im still learning, but besides that fact i see now how good its uses have to fill up gaps in a track.
It Give the track a name and character....at least that`s my goal.

im back from holiday now, at new tracks are COming ! wohoo

See you soon, i hope ;-)...

Thnx&Greets DJMontana
