Well Done

Well, I can't say that I like that I like the vocals, but that's just my musical taste. It's a well done trance song none the less and I hope to see some more good work from you in the future :)

Well...

Well, this is a very crowded song. It's full of very piercing noises, so it is a little hard on the ears. Not really all that sad either. This could become a good song, but I think that you need to... devolve it a little. Simple would be better in this case. In summary: good idea, bad instrumentation.

kjhf responds:

As I said below, the piercing is intentional, hitting just where the woman is "Calling out." And that a Halloween piece can be still sorrowful.
Hmm, maybe I did overdo the layers on it however.

Nice!

:D Somebody else has played the Myst games! Well, this is very well done, but it's a little too techno-y for my liking. You know, this has inspired me to go remix some Myst songs! Specifically the title theme from Exile! You are my muse ^_^

Hard to listen to.

It has a pretty nice rhythm, but it's a little hard on the ears :/

Great idea, but has a few flaws.

It's an interesting idea, but there are three things that I don't like about it.

1. The piano sounds like it is being played by the computer. You need to hide the "computerized" feel of it by making the notes a little longer or adding more reverb.

2. The song sounds somewhat empty. You should add a couple more instruments. Another idea would be to take two pianos, have one play the low notes and one play the high notes. Make the low piano sound rich and meaty (kind of like it does already), and have the high one sound barren and thin (achieved by correct reverb settings). The effect of this can be increased by having slight variations in the pan of the two pianos.

3. There are many areas in which the harmony is lost, and it just sounds like somebody is slamming as many fingers as they can fit on the piano.

Other than that, I really like the song. Especially the little sequence between 2:17 and 2:26. That was masterful. In fact, I would kind of like to see the midi for this, I might be able to work out a few of it's problems. Nice work!

kjhf responds:

Hi!
Yeah, I forgot to change the reverb and volume settings on this :/
This is the piano only version, and so contains - piano only :P However, the next version is nearly done, and I'll probably add in a second piano.
Help would be much appreciated

Nice, but still room to improve.

Makes me think of one of those really fast footage things of buildings being built. Huh, this is nice compared to some of the other industrial songs on the site. A little repetitive, maybe, but still pleasing to listen to. Nice work :)

It sounds like a heavily reverbed guitar, or a heavily distorted piano, or maybe a combination of the two.

Mo-Tech responds:

Actually, it's a Persian santoor... basically a hammered dulcimer.

Close... they all have strings right? :)

Quite Nice.

I have a question for you: Is this single track or multi track? If it is multi track, how many tacks? If this is a single track, you have ungodly piano skills...

Quite Nice

I really enjoyed this, but I think that you should have cut out the empty space between 1:11 and 1:19. I especially liked how you let the piano on strings "hang" at the 40 second mark. Very nicely done, I hope to see more good work from you :)

This is amazing!

I've been looking through the classical submissions and I've been quite shocked at some of the piano pieces. This has got to be one of the best, especially if you were playing from memory. As for myself, I always play from memory, I never even learned sheet music. But this, this would be far beyond my skills. You might want to think of investing in a program like Reason or FL Studio, because you would be able to record through midi and fix your mistakes, as well as add more tracks. 5/5

ismiller responds:

Thanks for the review! I own FL Studio, but I love using my grand piano. Also, most of this isn't just from memory, it's made up as I go along, like a jazz solo. I might go back and re-record parts to get them perfect.
