your voice is angelic!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Star_Crossed (unfinished full)]

fuck yes

i was a big fan of the demo you put up for this song a while back, and have been eagerly waiting to hear the rest of it

the playful melody is immediately vibrant and very engaging. your choice to build and elaborate upon that melody instead of looping minor variants gives it a lot of character. At around :16, when the song dives into the heavy bass hits, it sounds so amazingly hardcore, i have a fuck yes moment every time i hear it

but if i might suggest, i liked the intro better before you lowered it an octave. i thought that the way the higher notes came at me sounded more crisp and intense. but this is really just nitpicking

very distinct work, i'm very excited to hear more from you

Desyre responds:

Thank you... and I agree about the pitch higher... talk to envy about it lol :D

[What's This? {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

nostalgic

brought back some fond memories.

was this produced by a score writer? I always think lively songs like this need a touch of live performance to really bring out their magic. Nonetheless, this is top notch score writing

alix1 responds:

Thank you very much for the review!
I found the sheet music online and did it in Fruity Loops!

[Oldstyle]

i'd drink to that

how enjoyable. i think some frilly strings and winds ensemble would work for a synth substitute. might make it a bit more lively and give it a touch of the renaissance

Romwell responds:

Thanks ! Re-doing it with classical instruments instead of synths is one of the things I keep postponing for too long.

[Long Walk Home]

Wonderful

Listen, right in the middle of playing this song a pack of wolves ran right into my house. Together, we all began howling tearfully in mournful symphony. This is a true story that shows the kind of power this song holds.

kelwynshade responds:

Hahaha; and they didnt even bother to knock did they?

Glad you enjoyed this.

[A Hopeful Heart]

Talented

Good solid structure. Your make good use of chord progression and sensible harmony. I'm impressed at the length and flow of the song, especially given it was synthesized through a scorewriting program.

You could do with a prominent melody. The composition feels discursive, transitioning without distinction. I believe a powerful melody is what captures the imagination within a framework of accompaniment that lead into them gracefully.

I would also advise that a waltz is meant to be much slower and gentler. Given the nature of sibelius, obviously dynamic are quirky to control. Nonetheless, a more moderate tempo and delicate human touch are necessary to serve this piece well.

Despite my criticism, your piece had hooked my attention early on. You have an intuitive understanding of piano and classical music. You are gifted in this and I very much look forward to hearing the progression of your work. 8/10 4/5

Dude09 responds:

wow, i could barely keep up with this critique, you know what your talking about, and i'm glad about that :) thanks for also saying i understand classical music, but i still think i have a long way to go. thanks again for the constructive review :)
