Rise of a new King

"Progressive."

The song has its story....This is what I'm listening for in NGAP! You've got this done very nicely. I love your piano and violin so much. The climax in the middle also move me a lot. Well done. :D Worth listening.

epic scary music

"It doesn't move (me) so much. :|"

I think the whole loop is mostly the same thing repeating over and over again, just some/last note that is changed to keep the melody away from monotonous one. You could add some sharp pitched instrument(s) there, and it might help the loop to be longer and more interesting. :)

Flying on surface

"Impressive for 13 years old! :D"

submission: Flying on surface
date: November 13, 2008

I have to say that I'm impressed to listen to a song made by a 13-year-old kid. I love the piano though, but you could soften it down a little bit more just to feel that the notes are constantly minimalistic-like. The chords, somehow, have a whole lot of extensions to them, but that doesn't matter much. :)

Try to deviate your drum pattern some more too.

Author's Response:

Wow, thanks man!
The drum pattern is something like... I dont know, I wanted to make a slow one and it's te better to use right here, sometimes I forget to change it, thanks.

First For the Fist

"Chilling out."

submission: First For the Fist
date: November 13, 2008

This piece sounds like a music when you're going to the party and everything starts to get fun. :D I admire the guitar, the use of frets (if I'm not mistaken). Pleasing to the ear indeed. I bet you could make this song a little longer though. :)

Supermarket_Theme

"A little more blend to make this spectacular. :)"

submission: Supermarket_Theme

Piano plays quite a simple tune which is OK, but when you bring in the saw just in the middle of nowhere, it kinda ruins the beauty of piano, in my opinion. If it were something like soft sound of flute or violin , this would be really great. :D

Author's Response:

Lol yeah, like i said i made this 2 years ago when i was (more so) shit at writing any kind of piano tunes. I have to say i like the synth i used though, it gives it a lot more energy than strings could.
Thanks for the review!

(T) This Day Is Done

"Unfathomable."

date: November 8, 2008

I like the sounds you choose. You seem to use them wisely since they convey a nice message throughout the song. This piece, however, sounds quite repetitive to me, and the drum could be softened a little bit, maybe sidestick might work better than snare.

Other than that, you've done well.

November 11, 2008

Author's Response:

I experimented a little with the sidestick selection that I have and even after a bit of twiddling it still sounded... off. But the drums could come down a bit I agree ^^

Thanks for leaving your thoughts with me, appreciated =D

"Yes, calm."

I think you've done a pretty job here. It sounds very atmospheric and sensational somehow. Though I have no idea what the title of the song mean, I can imagine wandering in the frozen cavern with bright crystals. Very beautiful piece.

Buzztone Symphony

"Crossing the boarder line of classical and techno."

submission: Buzztone Symphony
date: October 31, 2008

This song just represents you. Practical use of electric guitar, a fancy sparklings from piano, original saw to keep the melody solid, and the purcussions that FL bestows upon you. In the beginning, it sounds pretty much like other dance songs, then guitar comes into play, making variations. Personally, the 1:27 part sounds too strong and distinct that it outshines the beauty of the piano.

The 2:22, you shows your secret weapon, key change from Cm -> Dm. It's pretty impressive because of your piano that plays a major role. The other structures are pretty much the same as the first one, but I still like it nevertheless.

Then when guitar shines its solo, it reminds me of Operation: Evolution (near the end of the O:E). Quite good to listen, but I'd like to have more new techniques and melodies other than this though.

I've gotta mention the ending.....The piano does very well here. Dramatic!
