hip hop sunshine

Awesome piano playing there man.. The way you chose to do the piano really took me off guard.. i really think this is awesome.
the way the beat comes in as well id pretty effin sweet. This a spin of the song i have never heard before.. awesome job.

i like the build up starting at 47. I also like the lead piano you put towards the end. This song can put anyone in a good mood

Thanks for your review!
Made in fl 8. (No real piano was played in the making of the song)

So you added some saw and a beat

Yeah you added some misplaced techno synth and a simple simple simple beat.
Its not even your song.. remixes arent even allowed .. oh well.. you get a 1 for effort

Catstuffer responds:

That is exactly what I did! :D

Thanks for the review!

this is my friends account first, that song isnt even mine, cant review the new shit cause you aint shit

Piano in a majestic hall

This piece sounds like it is being played in a theatre. Very relaxing and the change of keys really adds to it. The excess of revorb acctually gives this piece a real life feel.
it was missing something i cant put my finger on ....it really is a well rhythmically written piece. the piano line keeps it a constant mellow drama pice of sorts. The separate melodies keep it going nicely...

I know what it is.. a Rhythm line key change.. bring the background piano down a full half step.. that will def add a new bridge to the sonata. Its seems like it is leading to tragic part but never goes to it.. It completely envelopes deep into sadness .. it needs a little resolute anger.

love this.. very reflective and relaxing
5'd 9'd faved

maestroji responds:

I appreciate the advice Symbol ^ ^. The suggestions you made are good ones that I will take into consideration. As an explanation of why it seems quite mellow and sad is to contrast that even in Death, a reaper can still have human emotions because they once were human. Though this is kinda revealing, its as if a reaper who has just died goes into a dream state, and this is the song they hear. Thanks for the review! - Ji

Im not crazy. But lunatics will like this

i must be a lunatic. The chord progression in this is effin magical. great way to progress the song. At 1;20 im glad you brought it back and introduced some light bleeps and layered then all nicely.at 2:00 great bridge into a breakdown.

this is a great 8 bit pice with some not so 8 bit drums. LOL It just keeps driving higher and higher. This has some great buildups. And the distorted guitar it sounded like was a great addition. you get a 9 and not a ten cause i would have liked to see it go to a minor key at some point i think at 1:30 would have been a good place to go minor and then blast it back into major. seriously awesome!!!

5'd 9'd faved

Fantomenk responds:

Thank you! i love well written reviews!.. i agree about the minor change... ill defenetly have that in mind in the future!

FILTHY DIRTY NASTY

I fucking love it. This track is so dirty it probably has VD.
At first i thought this was just going to be some sounds from Left4dead but to my surprise you composed something that completely took hold of the panicky mood involved when your playing Left4dead on expert and a hunter jumps on you and your all alone, screaming into the mic. FUCkING HUNTER GOT ME GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE> HELP!!.

really love the samples from the game.. they were used perfectly for the song.
The intro was dark as hell, foreboding and ultra creepy. I LOVE when it kicks in at 1:10. The kickin smash back in at 2:10 is also trashy and well placed.Seriously awesome job man ... fuckin A+ dude

Keep it disgusting and FILTHY!!!!!!! :)

Epyks responds:

Crap I wasn't expecting such a great response. Thanks man! :)

percusive madness

love the psy trance ghost effects, and the idm sounding wak. koo. sound. the drums are perfect. i also love your lead ins ever few measures. very well calculated and executed. the strings totally give this more than an amped feel to it and give it quite the personality of vanity and drama. My fav part is at 225.. love the breakdown into the buildup and the synth that takes the violin line...
just wanna let you know i play this song alot around the house and very very much enjoy it. the ending fading lead line is a perfect ending.

cycerin responds:

Thanks man! I somehow missed this great review until now. Dig that you liked the synth that overlays the violin melody towards the end, I've been kinda worrying it might sound a bit cheesy.

my fav from castle crashers

whenever i play i always turn the effects down and the music UP... Seriously this is my favorite next to vain star and paragons chaoz japan.
you know how awesome it is?...right?.. well i do. Must have been such a great feeling of accomplishment when you finished this. very much well deserved. i always play this one for my band-mates .. they love the shit out of it.
Awesome work... i really think you should go back into this genre .. your newer stuff is just as awesome but i feel this is your genre.
best wishes and luck, with a touch of talent.

cycerin responds:

Hey, thanks. The reason I stay out of this genre is because I feel that 4 on the floor is a very limiting beat, so it's hard to get a good project going with it for me. :\

Naaaaaat bad

i liked the use of chimes.. i recenlty have just been jamming with chimes so i completely understand the need to relax melodiclly...

AMEN breaks .. i always love them.. but they need to be chopped up in a fashion that complements the listeners ear.. If amen isnt nuts then its not too entertaining..

Melody and ambience are the stars that have given.. to combine them with amen.. i would suggest something of a more dominant sound but with melow pitch.. thew chimes dont quite do it.. if you convert this beat to dub and make it simpler i think it would complement you melody much more..

Dont get me wrong the drums are sick as fuck but they dont mesh well with the chimes.
Both independantly are sweet and soothing and electrifying .. but the median has been broken on this one.

Very much enjoyed
5'd and fav'ed

Triskele responds:

Thanks for the review <3

I was really working to combine the drums and the chimes, but not to blend them. I really was going for a bit of discord between the two, so I'm glad I succeeded in that. Sorry that it didn't suit your ear though >:

By the way, full on ragga mashup tune is about 50% done atm. Look out for it in a couple of days :3

I'll hit you back
