Thanks! Yes, I admit to using MMM. It's simplicity is nice but it does make it difficult to create the songs I truly want. I appreciate the good review anyways FoA, may the birds of good fortune encircle you and nest in your hair!

[My Inspiration]

I have to ask..

My friend, what on god's green earth are you doing on newgrounds? Why aren't you composing for some big time company? This seriously belongs in a game, or movie. Beautiful song my friend. 'Nuff said.

Slaytesics responds:

Thank you, I tend to favor dark contemporary classical, not romantic crap that gets all weird in the middle of a piano piece (like going to the top keys and then being like "WEEEEEEEEE")

[Undead Chase!]

This..

Belongs in a category called: Epic.
Nuff Said.
5/5

SoS responds:

I do enjoy epic stuffs.

Thanks for the review and vote!

[=-=-=-Carlsberg Glory-=-=-=]

never had carlsberg beer before.

it sounds like some of the timing is wrong, and sounds like all you did was add samples to a song. it needs a little work.

3/5 5/10 for effort.

Piano-Freak responds:

well yeah my timing not always correct but all this is played by me and its my original composition.

[Ballad of the baker]

Epic

Especially from around 4:50 to 5:10. Excellent work! The only thing I would say work on to, would be it's a little bit scratchy. Not quite like nails on a chalkboard... but maybe halfway there? It's epic though! Good job :)

Kados responds:

Tyvm for the constructive criticism. :) Peace

[The Black Storm (v10)]

Be true to the music.

Although this piece sounds good, people are looking for epic. If you are going to compose music, any genre, you have to be true to the music, and true to the music within your mind. Give it some "robust-ness". Make the intangible, tangible. Let people hear one piece that can be interpreted twenty different ways.

Pros:
Nice beat, good harmony. It gives the listener a feeling of power.

Cons:
The drums could use some improvement. They're the heartbeat of the piece. Make sure to capture that heartbeat.

All-In-All:
4/5 and 8/10
Try to improve, you sound like you may know what you're doing, or at least have an intermediate knowledge of how to piece together music. figure out your strengths and go with them.

NativeNiles responds:

Thanks for the review, I like the detail you go into. I have no knowledge on composing music, but I can indeed read music. This review is exaclty what I have been looking for making my improvements. I did have a feeling I do need to working my percession more and I will with future projects. Again Thanks for your input.

[Cacophony Noctourne]

About DavidOrr. (And the song.)

I think David is respectable, he does work hard on his music, i dont think he was blamming anybody's music, the reason he gets 1k+ votes first day is because EVERYONE knows who he is and expects music from him, the moment he puts a new song up, it's like a herd of buffalo, they stampede to it. that's not his fault. He's a very good artist.

Now onto this song... I'm giving this a 3/5 - 7/10. Reason being is because you have posted this song as a waltz no? I can in no way shape or form hear a waltz beat, a waltz is a 3/4ths beat where as what you have posted is 4/4ths. don't get me wrong, the song is decent, and i understand you were sick when you made it, but i will admit, it does make a seamless loop. while i was writing this review i though, geez does it ever end? then i looked at the time lol.

All in all, good song, but i know i can hear better from you!

Darkmaster603 responds:

Well, this was just a fun thing to do while I was sick but that's no excuse. This was made at a weird time because I can only seem to write good stuff while sdepressed and I'm generally happy which depresses me [confusing], and I did not mean to put waltz iin the title I was thinking of another song lol.

Ill shoot you a pm when I get my classical guitar tracks up, they are better.

[[JLB] Zelda OoT: Saria's Song]

Perfect!

Julez, you have the makings of a GREAT orchestrator! Why are you not making money??

You've blown my mind in songs before, but this... this blows my entire body away. I actually FEEL like I'm IN the game, not just listening to the music!

Bravo Julez!
5/5 9/10(9/10 simply because... i want to hear better!) lol

JulezJLB responds:

Thanks man. Gotta credit the music for the atmosphere though. Just glad I could maintain the feeling with the orchestration.

Have a purely original piece coming soon. Gotta work out a few things first though. Hopefully in a few days.

[Ballad for the Lost]

Loving this

I like how the beginning speeds up, and just the melody in general. phenomenal work!

N3XUZ responds:

Thanks! :]
