Nice tune
Good mix of the guitar, piano and drums. This piece is an ideal piece of happy ending ambient music in my eyes.
What can I really say? This is so close to perfect in the delivery that there really isn't any way to constructively criticise this. Are you going to be making any further pieces which would suit say, a Final Fantasy game?

I love final fantasy! making musoc for it would be fun!
If your making a FF flash I could make the muzak 4 u
Short and sweet.
That's what I'm expecting to hear from an accomplished artist like yourself. Glad to hear that you've managed to experiment successfully with the drums. Try adding it into some of your keyboard pieces and we'll have some awesome tunes coming out soon :)

ill try
im not so sure about an "accomplished artist" just yet...
not many people have heard me
Please diversify
I've listened to a few of your pieces and they all seem to be played with the same instrument - a keyboard. If you could find a sound converter, it would be great, as you play the same instrument, but make it sound completely different. That's what this piece needs - a little bass added in for effect.
Boss fights need something deep and foreboding about them, so why not give the audience what we want? This would certainly help the track out a whole load.

well yes its a keyboard, midi, i have guitars but they all sound like crap..
Nice work
The work with this track is that it's a written tune and you've shown that you are more than capable of playing it. Nice one.
What I would suggest is that you shorten the quiet part at the end - doesn't seem like we really need it to me.

yeah.. i agree
Kraftwerk?
The background melody begins like Bill Bailey's adaptation on "Das Hokie Kokie", which he performed in the style of Kraftwerk.
Again, there were a few duff notes, especially when you brought in that rather loud beeping, which I thought was a) too loud and b) out of time with the rest of the song. Reminds me of when someone in the office plays a tune that doesn't go well with what I'm listening to.
If you get those pieces sorted, you'll have yourself a good tune here.

?? wait what?
Doesn't sound so lost...
Hmm, with this piece, you've probably got the wrong instrument - I'd say sad needs to be more strings, rather than synthesised keyboard. Also, I'd suggest that you go just a little slower, to make the difference seem more obvious.
You hit a couple of stray notes in there, which certainly need to be ironed out as well. If they made me cringe, they probably made others do the same.

hmm strings? most of mine sound creepy, o what the hell, sure
Quick Tempo
Much like this review!
I think that the tune is good with the beat, but i'm not exactly a fan of the keyboard piece you've done - do you have any other instruments you can synthesise with this piece of kit?
A good use of the MK tune and applied additions of the Bass, means that it's a good tune. Any chance of looping it better?

Two crossed melodies
Man, I'm sorry. I've listened to this and it was certainly not one of your best. There are three parts to this tune - the beat, melody 1 and melody 2. To my ear, neither of the two melodies kept to the beat and the melodies were that much different from each other, that they seemed to trip over themselves frequently.
I thought that when I heard the beat and melody 1 start, they worked together quite well and the whole thing was progressing well, but about 10-20 seconds in, the melody changes and loses the beat, so I'm not really sure what happened there.
I know you can do better than this, I seriously hope that it's my computer that's playing up.

Very apt
This tune really does remind me of some of the wintery games I used to play on various platforms during my childhood. Not exactly the sort of tune I'd expect for an 'SSX' style game, but really simple and well performed.
Was this done by a keyboard plugged into your computer, or by digital music generator? If it was performed by hand, I'd even more impressed by this, as while the tune is relatively simple and repeats frequently, it certainly takes some skill to play.
I can certainly imagine someone out there in NG grabbing this tune and adding it to a wintery Snowboarding game for the children (arond age 5-8), it's perfect for just that purpose, so long as there aren't any jumps with massive tricks, or nasty things like the Yeti to come and eat them.

Hehe, thanks for the review.
Sorry to disappoint you, but it was all done digitally. I'm glad you find it fitting for that kids winter game genre (it means I got that right =P).
Cheers.

Wakes me up
What this really does for me is what it says on the tin, like most of your tracks, to be honest.
This particular track conjures up images of the sun rising over the hills, burning off the last vestiges of morning mist and the wildlife slowly waking up and getting on with life. The trickle of water makes me think of some sort of tranquil lake, which might attract an early mornign fisherman, for example.
To be honest, there could be a little more 'whistling', as that would tend to indicate birdsong, but other than that, you're spot on as usual.
You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
