...

A ten to you, I say. A ten. I hope you have more tens.

[-( Mellow Excitement )-]

First?!

If this is the first time, then consider me a noob!

[-( Merlins Happy Place )-]

NO YOU DIDNT!

Oh alright! You got me. I love it! Keep it coming.

[~FP~ Slow Piece in C]

Wonderful!

My man, you've captured much emotion in this piece. It reminds me of my childhood... In a good way. Like the movie Willie Wonka (the original) 5/5, 10/10

[Spectrosphere]

Wow!

You said you use reason, correct? Is that lead a custom creation, or a preset? I love it so much. If it's a preset, I have NO IDEA how I haven't found it yet. I can think of at least 2 bands I love that use a similar sound (thrice and doves). Let me know!

RedWingX responds:

the lead is a preset. i used vintage dance lead in the thor synthesizer if you have reason 4. thanks for the comment. and this may come as a bit of a suprise, but your song land locked was the inspiration for this song. in the beginning it sounded a bit like it. but as it progressed it moved away into something completely different. so thank you for the inspiration.

To the guy below me

I'm only reviewing this for the guy below me: You need to learn more about music, first off, every song has a time signature, and a tempo. If the time signature is 4/4, or 4/anything for that matter, then you'd have 4 noted on the offbeat for a techno bass. If the song, however, is a 3/4, like this one is, then you'll have 3 beats. And telling anyone that they did ANYTHING wrong with music just makes you sound retarded.

[-{IBG}-one minute massacre]

Wowzers!

Thanks so much for making such a kick ass song for the massacre. It was an honor to follow after you!

Hey you!

I told you I would check out at least one of your songs. So I did your first submission, and your newest submission. It's great to see your progress. This one's definitely better than your other work. I like that it's expansive, and transitions in and out of itself. You sort of lost me at the end, at 1:20. Speaking of 120... I can tell that's the bpm of this song. 120 tends to subconsciously come across as boring, and too rhythmic.

I liked the song, though, and I can't wait to hear you master this program you've got. I've never heard of ableton. Most everyone here uses Frooty Loops, however I'm a sort of sore thumb myself, cause I use Propellerhead's Reason, and have never touched FL.

Thank you!
You really help me!
Yes you are right the music is kinda boring in the end...

Maybe some day... I will "master this program" XD someday let's pray...

[R - Act of love]

Pretty darn good

I love your piano composures. I liked the melody of this one, and how it's constantly changing, and it even loops nicely. It'd be amazing to hear it a bit longer, and with the poem spoken, or sang if that was the intention. I felt like the song should have gone on, though. Longer, and have a part with chords. There's a lot of 8th notes in there, maybe switch to some cool bassy chords on the rhythm hand with half notes, then two quarter notes? I'm a sucker for awesome chords, and I know you have the talent to find the right ones.

Rwinius responds:

that really is a great idea! its a bit of an old poem, but i found it to fit the atmosphere of the score, but to accually use it in the song, i hadnt even thought of that! thanks a lot! i

ll probably exend it too, im gonna find a nice soothing female voice to read the poem :) ill defenitly let you know when/ if its done :D

[Newgrounds On Speed]

wow

This is a VERY well made song. It flows amazingly, and it doesn't feel empty at any point. Best song of the week, hands down for me. 5/5 10/10

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Haha thank you!
