"Actually"

submission: Pictures at an Exhibition [B]

date: July 28, 2008

I believe that the songs that you upload to this site are supposed to be your original works.

"When you submit your audio, please be aware:
* You are making the legal claim that it is your own original work."

But I gave this a ten because I just love this piece way too much. I can only play half of the movements of the original piano version. I never heard this transcription, which is definitely damn cool. I've heard Ravel's and Stokowski's (which is intense).
The ending to Gnomus was slow, but nicely executed. Wow, and the Castle movement is incredible too. It was kinda funny how they skipped two whole movements, Tuileries and Bydlo like that.
The Hut of Baba Yaga movement sounded like a marching band version with that allofthesudden drumline haha. Can't go wrong with the Great Gate of Kiev.

I'm not entirely sure why I left this review for a song by a composer who died in 1881. Either way, don't submit more and we're cool haha at least you have good taste.

"Fantastic piece"

submission: Snowy Nostalgia

date: July 28, 2008

Made me think of the Edward Scissorhand's score at brief moments in the beginning, even though it's very different. The piece didn't go too far, but as a solo piece it's still quite pleasant and simple. Doesn't draw too much attention, which is good for the genre of flash films this could fit in.
Nice job.

Score: 9

"Beautiful"

submission: Quest of Eve Main Theme

date: July 16, 2008

Reminded me of the 'beautiful' motif in the King Kong OST by James Newton Howard. Lovely melodies and the modulations were appropriate, although I would suggest using it a bit less frequently. The portrayal of your story was right on.
Good job and good luck

"Brilliant"

submission: Symphony of the Night =MEDLEY=

date: July 12, 2008

This knocked my socks off
I really got into the song at about 0:51, that flute thing around there was damn cool. Piano solo part was pretty boss. The tutti at then end wasn't abrupt, which was nice.
I'm not too fond of the music from this game series at all, but now I kind of wish I was. The ending segment kicked my ass. I loved those chromatic runs between the flute and clarinet. In reality, that would be damn hard to play, almost impossible, especially for the clarinet.
Great job dude, I really enjoyed this.
now I gotta find my socks

"awesome"

submission: Victory! (8-bit Chiptune)

date: July 9, 2008

I've been listening to this for a loooooong time on loop, and I can say confidently now that I'm familiar enough with the song that I can whistle the entire thing.

Way to go chap

"oops"

submission: Minimalist Piece (for Peter)

date: July 8, 2008

I promised to check out your music a little while ago. I don't remember if I forgot or if I did. I feel like I have Alzheimer's.
Anyways, beautiful piece. Definitely reminds me of Philip Glass. I'm sure you already checked out the documentary about him. One of my relatives was interviewed in that film.
Can't wait to hear the live recording.
Great job buddy

"Lovely music"

submission: Drowning - MAC

date: June 29, 2008

You already know how I feel about this song
so.. I'm gonna say everything you don't wanna hear.

Awesome, perfect for my rpg. This has a bice tone and a good rythm!
Reminds me of Final Fantasy/Zelda.

:]

"RACH!"

submission: Rachmaninoff Orchestration

date: June 29, 2008

Wow, seeing this title in the AP really threw me off.
What a pleasant surprise, I love Rachmaninoff.
This is one of my favorite preludes, and this orchestration was really cool.
I loved the ending haha.
Please do more like this, I really enjoyed this.

"chromatic?"

submission: Khuskan - Chromatic

date: June 24, 2008

I don't think I heard a single bit of chromaticism
the progression from i to VI was nice but I was expecting more variations.
the guitar sample was great and the effects on it was set perfectly
A good title would've been Solfege, since that's what she's singing.
Which I realized, the samples were singing the solfege based on the a minor scale, rather than the C major scale, which my keyboard does. Pretty cool, nice job finding those samples
nice song buddy

"organ"

submission: Carvellas Castle

date: June 20, 2008

The intro was pretty awesome
i love the step down from Dm to C#m that you do throughout
some parts got a bit corny, and the drumset got boring quickly
and why is this labeled under "Classical"?
the only classical instrument in this is the organ
nice
