"Stylish"

submission: -SOES-Amber (update)

date: December 3, 2006

This song really has an oriental feeling of it - but nothing like you mentioned from the feared queen from a dark world. I can imagine a mighty and beloved queen who is marching trough her city and the people cheering towards her and throwing flowers for her.

The owerall composition is nice I liked it altough I'd suggest using an instrument's sample (like a panflute or an oriental flute) instead of the female voice that is continouly repeated. I think it'd have a better effect. With this sound you can easily hear that is not real and it disturbs the image.

The ending slowdown was great - it brought some more style to the track like it'd symbolise the might and unchangable power of the queen.

So summing up: great job, stylish only this sample-problem is to mention. Good job, keep up!

Score: 7

"Hey, nice stuff!"

submission: National Reqiem Remix I

date: December 2, 2006

I liked the whole concept behind the track! The beginning piano was nice and then you layered up to it the national anthems theme - nicely done sounds great.

Then comes the change: the whole glorious stuff changes to a war-like song: like a war machine would get into movement to rush down its targets. Really epic and great sound! Only one thing I didn't liked - that was the reaaaly high pitched strings. I think you should avoid these or at least make there volume lover.

Then the song slowes down: great! I loved it. Another epic boom - choir in the background sad and epic melody... But the high pitched strings coming up again... well the same goes here. Or you should maybe use another instrumet instead of string at that part like piccolos or flutes. The provide tha same high tone sound but not so ear-hurting way.

I'd also suggest to change the strings attack-level in the end part that they start with some fade in to make the feeling more sad and epic. In this way they are a bit to rough.

Summing up: this song has great potential. The composition and melody was perfect - I cound't find any negative things in it. So keep up the good work, you got talent!

Score: 9

"Great composition again"

submission: _-={The Rite of Passage}=-_

date: December 1, 2006

Well... here we are again: listening to one of the newest great audio piece of the maestro...

The start blow me away - I loved the harp(?) sound. The next upcoming percussion brought some tribe-ish or native feel for it - an exotic land's picture came into my mind like the Aztec or Inca civilisation in it's glorious days with their temples striking the skies above the trees of the rain-forest.

The flutes(?) melody was really close to Vangelis - 1492 Soundtrack but still staied original. I think you tried to bring some native feelings to the track with the exotic sounding woodwinds - when yes, you made a great job with it.

Maybe there is only one small thing I would mention: as I could hear properly you used the same melody quite often. I mean there was a melody and you havent changed it, just varied it's structure or plaied on other instrument. Well it's not really a problem I think because the track is varied enough and don't become repetitive.

So impressive job again - congratulation!

P.S.: I've got some new stuff around. If you got some time drop some revs. Tnx!

"Obeisance to the Maestro"

submission: _-={Corrupted Matrimony}=-_

date: November 23, 2006

Ahh organs... I remember you have a song "War in Heaven" in your segments. (I hope I recalled the title correctly.) It had an organ melody as well but - as I wrote in my review - it was a bit week comparing to the other more powerfull parts to the track.

And now here is this song: and the organ blows. It brought up the memories of POTC2 - Kraken theme. Not the melody itself - just the organ. Man since than I love organ melodies and personally I'm planning to recreate that theme - and now you've shoved me how that would be perfect! This song could be fitting to the POTC2 movie instead the original Kraken theme as well I think.

So great job as usual - you simply can't make bad songs. I have no simply nothing to criticise. It's a great song - has a bit "evil forces march" feeling some parts and a soft epic edge.

So congratulations another great piece! But tell me: when will be the tiime when you'll be making filmscores?:)

"Wrong title great song"

submission: Badlife

date: November 15, 2006

Well... personally for me this "bad life" feeling didn't came trough from your track - but a greatly composed epic classical track did.

I liked this music really much - it's like a great background music for battle scenes (for example I can imagine this stuff under a ww2 movie or like this.)

Loved the melody - really well done altough I think there were some moments when two melody lines were hitting each other making a bit dissonant and not harmonic sonud - but not so often. I think I heard them near the end.

But besides these I think it is a great track. Really had epic energy and it was variated enough - never had a boring moment or too much repeat. You also used the instruments well - some brass could give more energy to it but it's also O.K. in this way.

So great track. Next time pay more attention to the melodies and you'll make a top-notch track.
Congratulations!

Thanks for your vote, madboss! You voted 5 for Badlife, raising its score from 0.00 to 5.00.

"Great!"

submission: +*~The Hope of the Kingdom~*+

date: November 10, 2006

Well - for the first classical audio submission, this song is an absoutely beautyfull and grand debute.

I see that John Williams is one of your favourite composer - I must say the first tunes was just like one of his scores. And when you started to play with the flutes - man this was exactly like his work.

So great job, great melody and instrument useage! Really clear sounds - almost like a real orchestra. I wish it would be longer! You should do more songs because I think you got great talent in that.

So 5/5 from me - for this great start: congratulations and keep up the great work!

Thanks for your vote, madboss! You voted 5 for +*~The Hope of the Kingdom~*+, raising its score from 0.00 to 5.00.

P.S.: pls tell me what program did you use making this! I'm really curious about it!

"Wow..."

submission: _-={The Spread of Chaos}=-_

date: November 9, 2006

Looks like you held back some big shoots recently... Before this an epic dream was that made me say: great. And now here's the new big shoot.

Well wow... I'm listening still to the track and I'm totally under it's effect: the energy the epicness. Another great job I must say.

The beginning with the sting made a tribeish feel for the whole song. And then came the massive choir support - absolutly great sound and feeling. I've heard such massive epic sound from soundtracks. And the big-big cilmax after this... now that was another hit.

The big bells were also effective at the end...
So for me this song is perfect from the beginning to the end... I wish I could make so clear sounds as you can. Congratulations maestro - another fantastic piece!

Score: 10

"Epic dreams"

submission: _-={A Place for Dreams}=-_

date: November 6, 2006

Well well... it's always a great event when the maestro submits a new piece - and you haven't made us dissapointed!

I liked the song very much. Nice melody - I could imagine this music in a fantasy movie or even in the Narnia movie. I see you changed the bells to kind of music-box sounding instrument. Nice - brought some childish feeling. Altough the string and brass sound set a contrast to it with it's epic-sounding. And I must say great use of brass instruments. Almost sounding like real. I'd have samples like that but I have to cook with the stuff I have.

The choir was a great choice - made the childish and the epic feeling more stronger in the same time. Also I have to mention the great work with the stings. There was a vibration in them after the choir part - really stylish.

After all this track is rather epic like than childish/dreamy. I could easily imagine the full orchestra's pounding support with the whole child choir.

Anyhow great job - stylish, complex, good melodies, good structure. I have no critics to come up with. Nice job as always. Congratulations!

"Nice but not really sorrowfull"

submission: Waltz of Sorrow

date: November 5, 2006

This is a nice piece you have here. Altough I must agree with Fuoco that the main theme is really close to POTC theme. And because of this the song doesn't serve the sorrowfull image that you'd like to show.

I think theres a bit problem with the volum levels: the aggressive part is way too loud and the other parts are on a way too low level. I've almost jumped out from my skin when the thumbling part came in - almost from nowhere.

Another thing is that I think you should have the song more waltz like: only the last part had the complet waltz rhytmic. The first part was also good but with the full rhytmic was the best.

So it's not a sorrowfull song but it's quite nice - especially the softer tunes and the last waltz part. Personally said I didn't liked that short loud middle part but I could understand why you've put it there. I think it breaks the sorrowfull image and turns it to a fight scene - and the melody has a bit heroic edge so another hit to the sorrowfull feeling.

Don't be dissaponted - the song is nicely done tough. Not bad job! Keep it up!

Score: 10

"Absolutely A.W.E.S.O.M.E"

submission: -Orr- Christmas Eve

date: November 2, 2006

Man this song is something outstanding! If I would be someone who always fonuds something little wrong in everything - I wouldn't find anything negative in here...

Really well done. Stylish - from the flute vibration to the fast paced part. Great, epic and full with energy, joy and excitement of Christmas.

I could imagine a title for this like: "Epic Christmas". It really had an epic edge in a positive way - I could imagine this song in a movie for a scene where the whole world is shown how everybody celebrates this beautifull event.

I say this rarly but I think this song really deserves this: this is a masterpiece. You really put this together. I don't know how many hours are in there...

So absolutely great job. You could be proud of it! Congratulations!
