[Morrowind [Ocarina]]

Great

Another great ocarina piece. Forgot about this awhile back but isn't the ocarina the same as one other instrument but in a sweet potato shape instead of the other one? Really nice recreation as usual.

Ocarina-Kid responds:

Thanks SCTE3, always so generous with your reviews. I'm not too sure of the answer to that, but from my knowledge (lies, google) you could be talking about an egg-like Chinese instrument called the Xun! Or a German instrument made from a goat's horn. Oh man, that would totally get the chicks.

[Live for Tonight -=MMD=-]

Lovely piece

The guitar and piano make a nice combination I think as they help produce the main beat for this song to help deliver the message. The bass and violin sound quite lovely together and make you smile too I think. The drums calm you down and make you kind of want to cry too I think. The vocals and lyrics are amazingly stunning I think.

Can kind of see a music video going with this where a guy is simply looking for his place in the world and he has been searching for so long. Then even though he can never find a purpose a girl takes him into her home and she tries to show him a lot of life and make him feel happy for who he is.

Overall, wonderful piece and cheery message.

[some drumtest :P]

Yay for test

Well it does sound neat indeed for something meant to test drums. For a moment I thought it would only involve the sound of drums but upon hearing the techno sound at the start that also sounds good I see it still sounds great. Good luck on making future pieces too.

[Stargenx - Justice (Alt. End.)]

Same review but...

I think the ending here sounds far more dynamic and lovely in my opinion. Nicely done here though for a remake with a new ending, cool.

That's why I have two versions. :)

[Above the sky (drx)]

Calming

Has a very nice feel to it. Kind of makes you think of the good times you have had in the past and of good times you may one day have again with that friend who you cared for deeply and played with a lot. Really nice and caressing lullaby like piece I think. the piece just seems to focus on bringing memories of days past to the front of your head. Very smooth piece.

The guitar at the start was very nice to listen to I think and very calming as well I think. The piano then changes to a synth as the beat moves along and makes you feel like you are floating amongst the clouds and ignoring the logic of you lacking oxygen up there. The drums and bass work together to form a nice combination that beats your mind with subtle thoughts.

Overall, very well done and calm piece of work, nice one.

[Avenue]

Interesting

Well it has a nice flow for a dance piece anyways. Kind of starts off with a robot dance feel to it anyways with you gradually moving faster and faster as a robot just moving everywhere on the dance floor behaving with stiff limbs and walking with a weird motion as well. Really nice robot dance song anyways, really cool.

The synth has a good rhythm has a nice beat to it that makes you just feel relaxed as you begin to dance in rhythm to this piece as well. The bass is nice and subtle back there with the second synth that comes forth to provide a lighter feeling tone to the song.

The second synth sounds dream but then the rest of the beat kicks back in with the synth staying as well. The drums are cool yet generically nice anyways. Very nice robot dance song though.

Overall, robots dancing.

[EM3RGENCY]

Dance dance dance

Well I do get a very nice dance feel to this. Kind of reminds me of the Matrix movies as well where they had the underground dances since they lived there without a choice either. The tune sounds very nice and gets you up to wishing to dance and you proceed to do so as you just enjoy the beat and the name of the song being said over and over again. Really nice beat.

The synth is very high pitched and gets you into the groove of enjoying the tune as well. The completely wet and moist bass just seems to lull you into a state of relaxation as you let your muscles relax and do some complex dance moves you never thought of before. The drums are crazy feeling and fast as well making you feel like a great person too.

Overall, completely awesome dance piece, would also make a cool level song too.

sumguy720 responds:

Cool man, I'm glad you liked it! I hope the high pitched parts aren't too high pitched-- I am trying actively to not do that as much. I think maybe I hit the echoing bells a bit too much, but yeah, I think it's the first track I've put out that is really dance-like.

Thanks for the review mate!

[(MIII) - After the Storm]

Calming

Kind of reminds you of watching a storm and soon seeing it end as you see puddles everywhere and everything outside simply looks glossy and shiny as the sun tries to peak but cannot as night time approaches outside. You enjoy the subtle sound and feel of the thunder and lightning help you fall asleep and see in the morning that the storm is still raging on for some reason.

The storm sounds are really nice here as they help create an atmosphere for the song I think. The synth is really pleasing on the ears and makes you feel happy hearing the ambient appeal of it. The light click sound makes you think a bit of metal bells. The bass line was nice I think. The drums are very calming and soothing on this piece.

Overall, very nice and calming atmospheric song.

Thanks for the review! I'm glad the song was able to conjure up some chill imagery for you - that's what its all about!

[Stargenx - Justice]

Good composition

Well I found this to be a dynamic sounding piece of work that draws you in as well. Can kind of envision some kind of final or next to final boss battle beginning to take place in an RPG game as the leader or and girls of the group have a long drawn out speech hoping they can save the world as they go through their inventory to check and make sure they have everything needed. The battle begins...

The guitar is actually really nice to hear here as it gives a highly dynamic feel to the battle that is about to unfold. The piano gives a dark tone as if you could also lose at any moment as well. The bass line trumpets/trombones sound very dark here indeed. The drums sound really cool and dynamic as they encourage you to keep going and never give up on that last boss battle as the boss nears their final form trying to kill you all.

Overall, awesome boss battle piece.

Thanks for the review! What if the leader IS a girl?

[Eric Freeman - Sam]

Emotional sadness

Well this is a very sad feeling piece of work I think. The piece just makes you feel sad as if you had just lost your last friend. As you stand on the rooftop you wonder why it happened as you become the city's new guardian hiding in the shadow and fighting the heroes who think its ok to do bad things when no one is watching. You begin to appear before them questioning them and taking them down stating the city deserves a real hero. The internal and external conflicts within you begin....

The bass is very deep and wet here and very nicely calmed. The synth and piano team up and make you feel strangely sad as you envision yourself crying over something too. The drums are cool and sound very retro I think as the beat plays on and just seems to draw you in to try and relax.

Overall, peaceful yet sad song. Nice work.
