St.Albert

"Ah the Common Practice :3"

submission: St.Albert
date: October 22, 2009

G Major hasn't sounded this refreshing since Air in G (Bach) If i'm wrong, then you did great with the key you used :3 loved the use of percussion in it, it made it seem balladish, but one question, what inspired you to use St. Albert as a title? Other than that, great counterpoint and the piano was fantastic, FAVD , i would love to hear more from ya

Author's Response:

Thanks, It was played in C but then again I always mess around with the key until it sounds good to me, this could be any key, but recorded in C :)

Well I was looking at pictures of Canada that day, and St.Albert the name and the city just stuck with me. So there you go, it's a homage to the Canadian city!!

Thanks for the comment feel free to listen to the rest of my stuff.

The Survivor [Orch.]

"Ah ...refreshing"

date: October 22, 2009

Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori would be proud! The style is definately theres, but you innovated it to fit into a unique New Age work that is solely yours. From 2:50 to the end it sent chills, which is rare, so THIS PIECE BTR BE ON THE TOP 50 BY THE END OF MY CLASSES! great work my friend :3

NS - Arise My Fallen

"not bad"

date: October 17, 2009

You have the drive, which is good, a lot of new (not nu) metal screws that up. I felt though that it was missing something, and i'm not talking about vocals, cause as can be seen in buckethead, malmsteem, and others, you dont need a vocalist. I felt though that it couldve used a soloist here and theto make the piece not so redundant. The choir is a good idea. Keep it up :3

October 20, 2009

Author's Response:

Thanks man :D This seems to be the only piece that i've done where the choir seems relavent ;) Seems to have worked well :) Thanks for listening ^^

Living in My Dreams

"Wow, impressed again :3"

date: October 7, 2009

I was a bit skeptical at the beginning, but that simplicity with the motif gave it somewhere to go, and by god, did you ever, in my opinion, you should def. try score composing, cause i can imagine this being an ending scene to a movie where the main character is walking into a sunset talking about a moral he learned and then it continues into the credits. I definately liked the syncopation in there, it allowed it to be unique with using elements found in the Common Practice. How this isnt higher up, i'm not sure. I thought the ending couldve been elaborated and show cased by the strings a tad more, but that's just me. Overall, another extremely impressive display of compositional style :3

October 8, 2009

Author's Response:

Wow, thanks for that amazing comment. Yep, I think the ending cuts a bit the melody, but I remember when playing it, it felt like the person who's dreaming and remembering, is taken back to reality where he started to dream at the beginning, like an awakening :P Thanks for the great suppor, it means a lot

Lilium (REDONE)

"well done"

submission: Lilium (REDONE)
date: September 27, 2009

I actually LOVE IT :3 very moving. from 1:20 on you extracted he essence of counterpoint extremely well. And the simplicity inthe beginning set the contrast beautifully. It was extremely peaceful and loved every moment. i'm impressed that you took my advice to heart :3 its a great tribute to an amazing song

btw i was the asshole if anyone was wondering :3

Author's Response:

To tell you the truth I didn't consider it all that much... a bit but not completely. I'm thinking: "OK if an organ is too aggressive, then think of the least sound I can make." lol. I was GOING to use a really quiet synth texture or pad but no. LOL. The Space Harpsichord could have been good if I lowered the sound of the lower background notes because they overpower higher ones. But still I didn't want to really use synths.

Circus to my Sanity

"hehehe"

date: September 6, 2009

I lost my sanity so i'll go very into this review. This is so dark i'mloving it, i'm guessing you play some castlevania?? some interesting circus music in there too. I feel like this should be in something wicked this way comes. Or Panic at the disco (b4 they lost their balls in pretty.odd.) would pick this piece up. I was kinda hoping for a evil can-can, but oh well, it lacked a climax, but then again, insanity is about doing the same thing over and over and you did it beautifully. nicely done

September 7, 2009

Author's Response:

nah, never played any castlevania (shame on me), I've listened to some of its Soundtracks though. Thanks a lot for your comments, I appreciate them.

A Day In August (Piano)

"Nicely improv'd"

date: September 6, 2009

0:40-0:45 watch those chords, very serene and peaceful. Beautiful technique. Liking the ending except through 2:35-to like 2:43. But the rest was beautiful. Well done :3

September 7, 2009

Author's Response:

I have now fixed the ending^^

thanks for the suggestions, I must listen to the beginning again for the slip-ups

thanks again

Symphony in A Minor

"I'd hate to be the snare player"

date: September 6, 2009

His arms are gonna get extremey tired. The thing about a symphony, no matter how short, is a variety of moods. The whole thing seemed like the allergro section before a great finale. It's good don't get me wrong, but it seemed to me a little one sided. The key of a minor (although fairly aggressive) is also a beautiful key, try to accent some beauty into your pieces too instead of only going for the epic drive.

September 6, 2009

Author's Response:

Yeah, I totally agree with you. I need to go back and clean up this song. The snare sounds very repetitive and a little overused. As far as your words of wisdom on symphonies, you are totally right. I really enjoyed your review, and I now have motivation to fix this song, or at least when I make a new one, to totally make it awesome.
