My comments:
Your music writing is obviously very good. You are good at coming up with ideas and your transitions are very good. The only problem I saw was the overwhelming treble. Your main instrument was very boring to listen to. I think this song would be a million times better if you just changed that main instrument. Maybe some synth with low attack. Idk.
Other than that, the song was great!
Ah!
Very nice loop. Unfortunately, I couldn't stand it after the first minute. You're songs so far have been very nice they are just lacking some dynamics I think. You've got beat and harmony, now you need body and transitions. But that's just my personal opinion, create your own style however you want to.
sloooow...
The beginning is slow... had it been me I would have just slammed in the drums and kickass beat at around :30. But you are not me, and for that I am glad because this was a nice song. Except for the 1:30 I was waiting in the beginning for something to happen. Very good piece just too slow...
Very good.
I personally thought the percussion was a little too loud. But other than that...
Very catchy beat! Nice build-up.
I just wish it was longer!
Hehe :P Thanks alot! It was a short project, And I had nothing else to add to it.
ok bare with me here...
I can tell you tried. I give credit for trying. But this song reminds me of something.
Have you ever ridden in a shitty-ass car and wondered how the hell it even ran? Have you ever been to a carnival and refused to ride something because it looked like it was going to fall apart any second now? Well, that's how I thought this song was. It was holding on for dear life, just barely making any musical sence whatsoever.
One part of it may be the heavy distortion. It seemed like there was an entire range of frequencies that was being left out. The sound is very dry. You might have overdone the effects because the tone seems to be lacking somewhere. It is a fast song and fast songs usually have a very full sound, but the sound in this peice was almost boring. Compare this song side-by-side to a Radiohead song and focus on the tone differences. Radiohead has rich and clear sounds, despite the electronica sounds.
The drums may have had something to do with it. The drums were very fast, probably too fast. Because the rest of the song was moving slow (not tempo-wise, but just listen to the song at 2:00 and maybe you'll see what I mean), the fast drum beat just made the song boring because it was loud and didn't seem to fit the song. So it almost seemed like these drums were the focal point of the music, and that is not a good thing in this case. If you turn down the volume a little, and write a slower drum beat, this peice will have a much greater impact.
The very-fast arpeggio in the background was probably the main thing that made me dislike this piece. It rarely seemed to follow the rest of the music. Perhaps some of the notes you chose were off-key, because it really sounded like it. Let me tell you what helps me write arpeggios. I'll use a string instument first in place of the arpeggio. I will write chords, and change the pitches until it fits with the rest of the song. Then, I'll write it as an arpeggio and put the notes onto the other insturment. Sounds good every time.
I'm not trying to diss your music or anything, please dont think that. I just try to review with the absolute honesty.
well that's your true opinion and i respect it, even if my is another, it's a quiestion of taste (music is always a question of taste)->there is no bad music, there is only music I like/don'tlike
by the way: check out my other songs, most of them are extremly different, the reason is: I make experiments & also: I couldn't see a single heavy metal song, which was posted by you, I don't know whether you like/dislike metal, but it seems to me that you have no idea about it
Sorry I don't want to insult you, but that's my honest opinion
thanks for the review
work != good
Ok, you put work into this. That much I can tell. Nobody can construct something like that without some amount of dedication. But hard work doesn't always translate into something good.
So let me explain where I'm coming from here. Alot of the music seems to have a lot of dissonance. And by that I mean, some notes just plain dont fit. If used correctly, dissonance can be a very effective tool in writing music. But random out-of-key notes isn't necessarily "effective". I'm trying not be mean here, so if it seems like I'm trying to condescend then I have been misunderstood.
The solo thing that comes in at :13 is exactly what I'm talking about. Throughout the whole thing, it really doesn't stay put in-key. It's sort of a rebellious teenager and feels like doing whatever the hell it wants. Which describes me by the way.
But there is no doubt in my mind that you will get better. Everything that I see wrong in your music will eventually be worked out. You'll get better at recognising good ideas. You see, I've endured the same things other people go through and there's no words you can say to help them, they will learn on their own. But I hope that maybe I've pushed you in the right direction.
I guess I don't work..... I just slice some stuff instead of looping it making me lazy... And certain notes turn you off. Ok sure.
Sounds ok...
But doesn't make any sence. For something that you threw together because you were bored, not so bad. I've made some pretty mediocre stuff when I was bored. I didn't bother posting them on this site either.
So lets get down to the nails and tacks. This would have been a very good piece (by "very good" i mean as far as hip-hop goes, which is very low on my standards) if the notes would have made more sense. As the last person said, it was too dissonant. But this wouldn't be hard to change, just a few extra minutes and those notes would fit like an asian penis through the eye of a needle, catch my drift?
hahaha
I listened to it at first and was like man this is familiar... then I was like man this sounds like Coldplay sort of... then omg this is exactly like one of those coldplay songs... he didn't rip off coldplay did he? Surely he'd know that someone would notice... Let's see what song did he rip off? The Scientist... oh. Oh shit. Oh it's a remake. Whoops.
Sounds very good man!
lollll i'd never rip off colplay trust me :P thx man!
wellll
I'm not a fan of the genre, but I can definately tell that you have talent. It's a good song, but I dont like the repetiveness and such.
But yes, that solo is really good! I would never have the patience to write a solo that long... but you did a very good job with it. Did you have to hand-program every note? If so, kudos!
Yes i did have to hand program every note n let me tell u it was a pain in the ass lol ty 4 ur review.
Sounds like...
... the beginning of a Radiohead song. I was waiting for some pretty vocals to come in :)
This is a very unique song. It is unpredictable, yet maintains somewhat of a uniform sound. I am surprisingly satisfied after listening to this song. W00t!
thanks!!! seriously!!!!radiohead just happen to be my favorite band EVER!!
