[[dj-Jo] Life Line]

Bum dum bum bum

This seems to hold a very greatly done rhythm to it and I quite enjoy it as well. The tune seems to flow and I like the phone part you added in there as well. It sounded like you were going to try saving someone from killing themselves and you go after them as well. The beat is quite well composed and very quirky yet awesome at the same time.

The synth seems very dynamic as if hearing four of them play at the same time at all times here strangely. I enjoyed the lighter synth in the back though as it gave a hope induced feeling to it which I greatly enjoyed a lot too. The bass here was pretty much giving off a feeling of explosions to me I think. The drums here were great.

Enjoyed around 2:25 where it went down and slowly builds back up with a solid drum beat. The phone call was also great but where did it come from if I can ask? Then after the light build up and her asking something it blows up to full dubstep which sounds quite well done I think and very brutally great!

Overall, I think you managed to make a very solid piece that keeps the listener interested in hearing how the song will end. Greatly done.

First off, thanks for the review :D

And about the vocal sample
I recorded my sister on my blue yeti (usb mic) to somrthing we cooked up in a matter of minutes (which was a big surprise for us because we usually take forever to get ideas for songs with some kind of vocals in them.

Glad you liked the song :D

Chilly cheer

Kind of has a wintery feel to it as if going through Ponyville in the winter time and simply enjoying the area as you complete season themed task for the ponies there and discover more of who are and why friendship is even more magic than you ever though before!! Wow, what a mouthful. I have to say though, this has a mixture of winter and space put into it making it quite interesting to me indeed I think.

However I can also see where you are coming from in which it could possibly be Twilight's theme but also possibly Luna's theme. I wonder what Celestia's theme would sound like anyways.

The synth sounds very calm and for a majority of the song seems to produce both a winter arctic feel and a space feel as well. Almost as if you were watching snow fall to the ground for the very first time and you sit there letting it fall onto your main and possibly wings as you enjoy it and the cold it brings for you to play in.

The bass is calming and provides a great background beat to listen to I think as you go through the song enjoying the winter feel of it all too. The drums sound good and I like the drum roll at the beginning too helping the song pick up the rest and start up as well.

Overall, great theme song for Twilight I think. Tune is very calm and peaceful, I like it, I like it a lot!

coleknows responds:

The drum roll was one of the new things i was trying. It is such a pain to make though.

The other hard things was making the second melody at around 0:55
And the last was trying new synths but yeah, glad ya liked it. I hope i can finish the whole series too.

It does have a sort of winter feel i noticed actually. Maybe this should be colgates theme :P

Urban

Has a good video game feel to it as if you were roaming a city somewhere trying to beat the level. The synth and drums are great here. This is actually a pretty good loop as well I think. I think a better title is "Urban exploration" in the video game genre as well. Very nicely done piece, I like it.

coleknows responds:

Mmm, good title. If i ever make this a full song, i will make sure to name it that.

[Some stuff 5 /:]

Swell

Sounds kind of like the start to a party song. Also slightly reminds me of the walkway fashion show song that Fluttershy came out too as well. Very small yet very nice little trance tune anyways. However yea, it sounds like an excellent start to a party song though. Could try expanding and working on this one I think. Very good beat.

coleknows responds:

I noticed it sounds close to walkway music too. Makes me think of rarity for some strange reason.

[Some stuff 4 /:]

Space bot

Kind of see this as being a theme in some My Little Pony game where you explore a factory trying to find something to escape and solve the problems in the area at the same time too. The space feel and xylophone give a strange feeling of strong ambiance as well. Nice little piece anyways.

coleknows responds:

That review makes me think of one thing....

SPAAAAAACCEEE!! Anyways, thanks for the review :P

[Some stuff 3 /:]

Calm

Not sure why but I can kind of see this being used in My Little Pony as Discord is locked away and the land begins to celebrate that he is gone forever. Hopefully after becoming a statue they put the statue deep underground so no one can get to it easily. The tune also kind of makes me think of winter as well. Cool. Heh, that was a pun, nice.

[Some stuff 2 /:]

Quirky

Kind of sounds like a real quirky start up to a boss battle I think which is nice anyways. Looking forward to new pieces in the future anyways. Not bad for a little short loop though.

coleknows responds:

Boss battle? Eh, im not really sure what this would be good for actually XD

[Some stuff /:]

Smooth

Well it sounds like some kind of winter level like tune I think. The synth has an arctic chill to it that makes you have to move to keep warm as you go forth looking for the entrance to the base of Eggman too. The drums and bass keep the tune up and make this a nice winter feeling piece. Not too bad at all.

coleknows responds:

eggman, lul.

I personally like this one the most. It has a nice chill feeling to it.

Well composed

Well this was certainly a very enjoyable house piece I think. The tune seems to get you relaxed yet pumped up at the same time. Would be nice to play at a winter party anyone to get people moving in a closed room so everyone is feeling warm rather than chilly. Sounds a bit cheesy at time but remains very good sounding as well. Very well done piece of music I think.

The synth has a lighthearted feel to it that makes you feel good on the inside as the beat manages to progress along and make you feel joy and happiness in the piece. The bass line makes you feel warmth as the tune wraps around you like a blanket making you feel soft and yet so tightly happy at the same time.

The drums are good here and give a great beat to dance along to or simply jump in place as everyone in the room enjoys the beat of the song. Also kind of makes you think of the room being walls made of mirrors only with strobe lights going.

Overall, very cheery house piece.

Thanks for the review! Interesting analogy, but I like it!

[You Weren't There]

Serene

Well this piece feels rather calmed down and quite smooth I think. Makes you think of seeing someone curled up on a roof as the zombies roam a city. They look up wondering why it happened this way as well. They walk to the edge and take out a grenade throwing it down at the huge mass of zombies and before it hits the ground it explodes destroying several heads of the zombies and they fall down. You feel slightly disgusted watching the other zombies get down quickly to feast on the flesh of a fallen zombie too. You throw a few more and soon a lot of them are down but still eating a lot.

The piano gives a strange feeling of calmness as if you know you will always be safe from the harms of the zombies below you feasting on other zombies as their legs break apart and fall out from under them. The bass is also soothing as you walk back and forth wondering how to survive the nightmare or even how to possibly escape the city as well seeing as help will not be coming for a long time either.

The synth gives a calm feel and that scratch feel kind of makes you think of yourself hearing an occasional wrapping sound at the door to the roof. You hold out the guns wondering what it might be every time you hear throughout the week. The drums are smooth and give a great feeling as well while playing here.

Overall, calming piece of work and like how it fades out at the end as well, nice.
