"fuzziest electric violin ever"

submission: That song dude totally

As I write this, I am thinking of something constructive to say. And I have none. This was really awesome. This is the epitomy of modern day Hip-Hop music. Why? Because I've never heard anything like this before. The sounds are great and you set the right tempo for them. The volume was perfect.

I came to this song with a bias of good quality. The type of quality you hear on an album or something. The first few noted were played by the synth with a very "Underground" type of sound to it. And I immediatly deemed this song as garbage (I don't get myself sometimes). But what I realized after that is it creates the whole idea of the song; Whatever that whole idea is. It gave me a feeling of being in a pipe. The echo of me banging on it with a very arabesque object, and its reply.

This is beatiful, and at the same time... It's really scary. Simplicity is the key to music.

I think you found a key.

"you could spruce it up alot"

submission: Crusades

I like the general vibe to this track. There was alot of reverb on that beginning sound, it seemed too much to me. It didn't mix well with the beginning sounds but started to feel nice when the cymbals of the drums kicked in. The mid-guitar sounds that came in at the end of the bar sounded great, I liked that sound alot. I think that this song would have sounded alot better without that starting sound however and in exchange add a bass melody that plays throughout the entire song.
There was, I think, just 2 bars didn't have that beginning reverb sound, an I thought it sounded great without it. A way that you could have kept that floaty feeling that the reverb sound generates would be to add some nice 1 time chimes or maybe adding another set of cymbals.

Things to add taht would make this a great track:

a good pair of snares that compliment the piano playing along with some slow bass notes. All of the notes being played were really high pitched and makes it rather sloppy; no median. This makes the clarity a little bad, also, due to the same pitch having to compete in my speakers.

Overall, this is a pretty enjoyable song.

"Pretty cool"

submission: BM - Tiananmen Square

It beginning reminded me of old Blink 182. I really enjoyed the pauses you added. I didn't like the vocals too much, possibly add some kind of effects or lower your voice a little.. The lyrics were great though with the drums and guitar. Something could be done with the cymbal, I'm not sure what. Possibly lower the volume a little because it tends to overpower everythign else which draws my attention to it. But yeah, listen to anything off of Blink 182's album "Buddah" and you will get a good feel of this song. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.

I did like this song, and it has some replay value. There's always room for improvement. I look forward to seeing you progress.

Man..This is insanly good. I don't have any constructive critisism. Just wanted to drop a line saying it kicks ass, it's really mellow and catchy, I like it alot, it should be on the frontpage, I like the drum roll, and you should keep making music becasue it's cool....Found this tune in your sig.

Do you use a midi keyboard? If so, did you do all of the drums yourself or did you simply import a rex file?

"Twin guitars eh?"

submission: Twins

I like the constant cymbal in the song. I was thinking maybe you could have changed everything up a little bit after the drums muted while that progression with the guitar (or whatever that was) went up and back. Would have made a little more various.
After the drums muted, a little later came a really short burst of notes all together. I thought that sounded really cool! This song had a really dreamy state to it.

Really great track. I also like the name. School projects are a pain in the ass. What kind of project was it going to be for?

"Meditative; calming; sleepy"

submission: Stone Fall

date: June 10, 2005

You sure do have a great tune buillt up on this. I love the thumb picking action! Really calming, as you have noted was your intention. I kept wonering what this would sound like on a satar or something other. Pretty great quality. I think you could have spruced up that low E string a little more, changed it up a bit...If you did, my bad, I didn't notice..I'm embarassed, hah.
I think you did once when you changed a whole note.. and then it went back, it was (I'm guess here) about 15s before the end. It might have just sounded different to the rest due to the lack of bass or something; it added some relief of the same thing. Whatever it was, it stood out.
Anyways, That was my favorite part.

I think a new idea could have rooted from that. You could have kept following the fret with a power chord finger placement and then start that same scale from the beginning in a different note... It would also end better, I believe, in a higher note than started.
Appologies towards my lack of description. I never was good at that sort of thing.

This sounds nice none-the-less, and very calming indeed. Just a tad repetitive.

Really cool sounds in this track. I like the how the beginning sounded, it reminded me of J-Lo for some reason, probably just because I had the pop genre in my mind..hah. I was digging the bass, it didn't last too long which was fine, I don;t think it would have mixed well with the next verse. Everything seemed to fit well. I think this would have sounded better if it sped up during the end after those weird sound effects. Really great use of stereo on the guitar. =) Really great laid back track.
