[Light and dark Pt.1-Tommy Gran]

This is what I want to hear....

Very strong, intense, and moving. I can't really describe how much this track has made me so anxious (in a good way). So good to listen to something dynamic such as this.

TommyUlysesGrant responds:

Thank you

[Light and dark. 2 Pt. 9]

Dynamic, flowing, and inspiring.

Tribal style is something I really like. It has mystical elements within. I love how you use unexpected melodies throughout the song. They have romanticism, mystery, and adventurous mixed within one. The track is well mastered as well.

Love your percussions and brass near the end.

TommyUlysesGrant responds:

Yeah the percussion brought it all together.

Thanks for the review my friend.

[Falling Apart]

So touching.

You sort of combine rock drums with classical, and they work so well. :) If drums are in better quality, I would have given you a 10, but so far, I really like this song. It's exciting and so entertaining throughout. Love the ending.

[Tales of Pangea]

Entertaining.

Very nicely arranged. I don't know much about commenting detailed stuffs, but I really enjoy listening to this piece.

[-Orr- 4 Brave Champions [FULL]]

Solid Story

Another rare ten to give away for the excellent storyline you've put in the song. All the instruments blend in so well that it creates such dynamic atmospheres that I could feel I'm involved fully into something magical.

DavidOrr responds:

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[Kw- Scottish Heartlands]

Has depth, but still hollow

I love when piercing sound of bagpipe (if I'm not mistaken) shows up after the beginning. It kinda tells me the story along with strings you've double octave with. Still, I feel that the piece still lacks something to make it full. Yes, with very dark bass you put and possibly cello add depth, but they are still too far to unite with sharp sounds of melodies, imho.

Overall, it's very enjoyable. Love it.

nightsurfermusic responds:

Haha thanks! :)

[Lost Universe]

Ambient

It sounds very much like ambient. Although there're synthesized sounds I personally dislike in here, I don't really feel disturbed by it at all. Instead, it gives a clearer image of the story you're telling, and I inspire the way you use solo parts to emphasize things, while not leaving it empty but emotionally touched.

SuperGoodSound responds:

it's weird how that works with instruments...sometimes they sound lame on their own, but in the right mix...very cool

[Clayface - rEtarded]

Yes, its unsteady tempo should be good, but....

I like the way you use wide range of velocity and tempo to create express realism; however, I could say you exaggerate these features so much that sometimes it bends a little off the natural beauty. 0.38 seems outrageously loud for me though. The notes sometimes go quite fast when you have 1/8 note on the fast tempo bars, compared to the rest. The low tempo range has greater difference than higher ones (like 60 - 80, and 140 - 160 are really a lot of difference).

So just keep things less exaggerated and you'll be right on the spot. :)

[The Drop That Made it Hal]

Powerful

The piece itself has power, with strong triads. I think it's a great song, nevertheless. :) You could lower the velocity of some notes though because some are too loud that it creates treble.

Cimba responds:

I have a very sucky program that I write all my songs on so it's very hard to "shape the music." Thank you for your input. ( If an1 knows of a really good program tell me)

[Flower Of My Heart [Piano]]

What no one has reviewed this!?

It's such a beautiful as usual. I really like your style, you know. The soft touch on high notes kinda adds the emotional impact on this piece. It also reminds somehow of my happy time and past. :) The piano is well played, smooth and dynamic, though the end is quite abrupt. ^^;

Too bad this song is short. :D Keep the pieces coming. Don't worry much about # of reviews though....it's just doing what you love, and yes, you do it very well.
