"Grand and epic"

submission: _-={These Angels of War}=-_

date: January 22, 2007

Hy there maestro - sorry for the late review but I got stuck in some work recently ... but as I can see you'll have to spend an awefull lot of time if you want to response to all of the reviews.

But to the song: the start grand. The use of brass was great. Also the choirs were outstanding. After the start was a small part that really had some arabic motifs - as the drums had in the background. The last part is a mistery for me: what kind of instrumnets or instrument-combinations did you used to make it? Anyhow it gave another arabic twist to the song.

Nothing else to mention: greatly composed, dinamic and epic. Congratulations!

"Nice medieval atmosphere"

submission: Half Symphony

date: January 9, 2007

Hy there!

This is a great song and I loved it. I could feel the progression how the whole stuff developed and fullfilled a circle and made the song a whole complex.

The start was great. Set the medieval feel for the whole track. When the choir came in was another blast. But my favorit point is the flute melody - good flowing especially in the middle part.

Don't have much negative opinion and impression about the song. I liked it how it was.

Good job - and make more classical stuff in the future.

"Another fantastic piece"

submission: _-={The Metal Visage}=-_

date: January 3, 2007

Hy there Maestro!

Again you made a crystal-clear sounding and uplifting track! I bet that it'll be used a lot of times by flash artists.

Unfortunately I can't imagine any story to the track just some pictures flashing into my mind in random order.

So let's see the song itself:

Nice beginning - the electronic effect was a bit strange from you and I thought no you'll try something different but then the string came in and made clear that you'll bring up a full classical piece again.

Great bulid up - the full sound before the rushing action part is uplifting and epic: the moment before the storm.

And than a laugh: and the action starts. A simple but effective part you made here. Did you used a bagpipe or this kind of instrument in the background? I couldn't hear it clearly.

The ending with that choir is nice altough I think you made better choirs than this - I think the Spread of Chaos had some better ones if I remember well. But this one was great as well - brought the mood that you wanted to share.

So there's nothing else left to say: congratulations and keep up this amazing quality in your work!

"Great!"

submission: Shadows of Fire

date: January 1, 2007

Hello ConSoul!

This is a great piece of music you have here! Great orchestration - when the orchestra is going with the choir and with tha fast string it's absolutely great. Some parts reminded me Danny Elfman. So this music has a great feeling.

The work with the fast strings is great! I liked the staccato brass as well. The whole orchestra sounded alive. The beginning was one of freaking one. But then came the action. Great job!

What program did you use? Because the whole song sounded alive and really clear.

So 5/5 from me - keep up the good work!

"I love this one!"

submission: The Picture Player

Well hello there again Bosa. Looks like you're a really fast composer. It's not long time passed when I reviewed Vu Bakveesh (The Hard Worker)and now you already have two new ones.

And this time you got my points with this one. I could absolutely imagine a story for this. The story is this:

An old man is trying to find a film tape - he's falling all around in a comical way. Than he finally got the whole stuff working and starts to watch a movie from his good old times - from the cheerull times (I mean the piano here - loved it.) The detuning of the melody was a great effect made me imagine this story even better.

When the slow string part came in I can imagine that the old man is starts to feel sorrow for these times that passed or the movie has raised beloved and painful memories from his past. Maybe he's a world war 2 veteran and he has remembered his comrades after watching some cheerfull films of the good old times with together.

The last part with the bagpipe was really uplifting - like the old man would smile and think: rest in piece brothers I'll join you when my time comes and we will meet each other...

So Bosa: this time the contrast in the track worked out really well for me. I loved it - again as always the slow string part and the slow dramatic melodies were great and uplifting. And this time the cartoonish/comical music was fitting to the whole composition as well. So you got my 5 that's for sure. Great job!

Score: 8

"Not bad"

submission: _-={Dark Skies}=-_

date: December 27, 2006

But I think you have certainly made better tracks. My main problem with this song lies in the drums: they are too soft and jazz-like for this serious classical track. The cyms (or some metal percussions - I can't decide) are not too bad but still with these drums and snares are not giving the energetic feel that you promised in your description.

The good points: the female choir was fenomenal (almost like an opera) - as the violin was. The whole melody-flow was dinamic and energetic - that showed the problems with the drums even more. So with the melody and it's instrumentation. Your beloved bells are still giving the epic edge - as always.

Now as I'm listening to it for the fifth time I could imagine this stuff under a fast paced chase scene or some martial art-like fight. So this song definitely has potential.

I understand that hard hitting drums are really difficult to put under a complex classical theme - I'm having this problem at the moment with my upcoming prject so I can understand your problem - but some suggestion: how about some deep drums with long reverb and some tipini or conga drums? After my taste some toms would be also fitting to it.

So summing up everything: the instrumentation of the percussion section after my subjective is a bit to soft for this tune (altough I must underline that I don't know the songs purpose) - but beside this everything is fitting greatly.
I think this is still a really good audio - so keep it up!

"First LOTR-Trance remix I've ever seen..."

submission: The Lord Of The Rings|Remix

date: December 26, 2006

Wow... I've never heard from anyone from a LOTR remix. I'm really familiar with the score and I could figure out which theme did you use for the track.

(I give it only 9 because it's not finished yet and a bit too short in this way - if I could I'd give a 9,5)

Man it's booming! Great! But I'd suggest you to make a more constant melody not so dotted like this because it's more difficult to realise the theme.

But if you leave it in this way it will be also a booming stuff - it was just my suggestion. So great stuff I'm eagerly waiting for the full one.

P.S.: pls check out my stuff if you got some time. I'm rather in the classical section - but some opinions from people in other genre is also greatly welcome.

"Strange composition..."

submission: Vu Bakveesh (The Hard Worker)

date: December 23, 2006

Hello Bosa!

It's been a long time passed that I reviewed one of your songs - but the time has now to come again.

But... I'm totally puzzled with this song. It has soooo wide range of styles, emoition, instruments... it could be enough for a full soundtrack score. But my most problem with these that they don't give a coherent feel - so the global feeling of the track is not a homogen complex.

But let's se step by step.

The beginning piano is ok. A bit softer tunes could give more feeling of it I think - especially for the lower tunes. Than you changed the piano to the guitarre - a bit too abruptly but it's not taht serious. Nice, but the same goes here. And as I could hear there is a false tune there in the end... but not so disturbing.

The next part is a but puzzling... like a cartoonish music where Jerry is hiding around watching for Tom... The pizzicato and the melody give me this kind of feeling. Also a bit carneval-like theme that I could imagine to it.

The pinao part after it is also ok, a bit sad and for me is a bit to sudden change after the carnival feel - but I can feel the continuity.

But the slow strings part... man... it blow my away. Wonderfull melody and when you layered the female woice over it... fantastic and great. I'd suggest you making a stand alone track from this part. This is the far best part from the song. The strings waved like the real ones... Excellent!

The next coming parts are also abrupt. Again cartoonish feel... totally in contrast with the slow string part.

And the Jazz-like part... sorry to say this but it's not fitting here after my opinion.

The next slow string part was again a greatly composed part - but a darker one. The choir part was also fantastic - altough the highly pitched female cahoir was a bit disturbing.

And than the song repeats itself without I could notice.

Summing it up: this track is really diversificated - and I think it's too variated. I think you wanted to grab a complex experience with this... and this is not too bad approach. But next time I'd suggest to work with melodies that are more related to each other - because I havent feel any relation between the melodies. Sorry when there are any but I can't find them.

Don't missunderstand me: you got great skills to compose for many kind of feelings but I don't think it's a good idea to put them into one. It's like you'd read a drama that turns abruptly into a comedy and than an epic story and back comedy to romance... So it's strange...

But this song has definitely got great and uplifting moments. I'm awaiting your next submission.

Happy and peacefull Christmas to you Bosa, and dont give up the fight!

"I imagined somthing else om this..."

submission: _-={Brotherhood}=-_

date: December 14, 2006

... we can see only grey smoke and waveing flames... a medieval town is in flames... and than a mans siluette starts to take shape from the wall of smoke. He wanders trough the destroied town with shock on his face... he can't belive: everything is destroied... everything is gone...

So that's about my story now about the song itself. Nice minimalistic approach altough I havent heard oboe and fench horn in the song but still nice job.

The violin and chello sound gives a great medieval feel of it. It's to pitty that you havent made a grand-ending for the song after the arising sound I was waiting to a full climax... but that was the end of the song. Still nice job though and after my vision I think this song has rather got a dramatic and tragic edge than a brotherhood like friendship theme.

Score: 8

"Good job!"

submission: Final Conquest

date: December 9, 2006

Üdv néked! Jó dolog magyar arcokat látni az NG-n, fõleg úgy, hogy még eggyel sem találkoztam:)

Nos meg kell mondjam, jó kis számot pakoltál össze! A minõsége igazán remek. Milyen programot használtál hozzá? A dobok, meg a kórus igazán remekül szólt, bár a nõi kórushangokon érzõdött egy picit, hogy hangminták - de a férfi kórus bitang jól szólt.

A szám hangulata szintén nagyon frankó. Igazi conquest-es hangulata van, bár ahogy felépítetted, nos az egy kicsit túlzottan ismétlõdõ. Tehettél volna bele néhány kiállást, vagy szóló hangszeres részt, vagy akár néhány komolyabb dob-szólót. A felénél bejövõ váltás érdekes, furcsa az elektronikus-hangzású break-beat egy ilyen témájú dalban, de nekem tetszik.

Szóval egy kicsit túl sokat ismételgeted a fõtémát de alapjában véve jól szól a dolog és tetszik is. Szóval csak így tovább, remek kis szám ez. Ja és ha lesz idõd, légyszi látogass el az én lapomra is és véleményezd a saját dalaimat.

And to switch on to englis that everyone could understand my opinion about this song: altough it's a bit repetitiw with the melody the awesome quality of the instruments and the mood it creats turn the whole thing to an epic and great track.
