I like it. It would obviously sound much better with more realistic instrumentation, but you can get the picture. I particularly like "A Trilogy", and the cool snare/bass rhythm in there. Good work, smart composition! |

Behold, minor improvements upon track 3! |
|
something in a sort of different style |
|
Now for some not-music. |
|
I like the music, but I'm not sure if its what I would listen to for fun, and here are my main reasons: There seems to be a lack of climaxes dynamics wise, but the melody pulls some of that weight. The number of percussion instruments used in this are ridiculous, and though I know its supposed to be a bit sporadic when you are choosing the percussion hits, but it doesn't make much sense to me. loud cymbal samples are placed in too early and the resonance seems to be lacking, but thats what you get when you have to work with pre-made samples (sometimes), the kick drum was an awful sounding sample. It lacks some depth including bass. The drums were not flowing well with the rest of the sounds in my opinion even though the timing was good. |

Simply rosegarden and timidity/freepats. The dynamics is a good point, and I agree with you. I would also agree that sometimes I overload on my percussion (I realized that when I listened to my own stuff on some real headphones ). |
|
Once again, i enjoyed it a lot! For this kind of stuff, i pretty much agree with what dylanshmai is saying about the climax/dynamics of the music, but honestly you've got a lot of creativity there and there's a hell of a lot of potential for you to produce some seriously great music when you get some decent production tools and some real instrumentation happening. The rest well happen as you develop your composition skills. |

Well, four months later, I've finally produced another piece: |
|
BTW: this. |

I listened to all of the tracks and have the following criticism: |

Thanks for the criticism. I think I agree with you; you make some good points. Having listened to some of these again I notice that the lack of dynamics has sort of flattened them, for a start. |

Sounds pretty good. Just a little short. |
|
yea i just done that project really fast , so its short |
|
I noticed all your songs on Newgrounds are pretty short. Most end close to 2 minutes. They sound good though. You should try making some longer ones. |
|
Behold new music. |
