Simple loop

To be honest, this needs more - you've got it looping well, but then you need to stretch it out to about 2-3 minutes long and add something like a bit of keyboard to give a better melody.

You're bordering on the boring with this tune, as there's nothing really special about this, which is a shame. When you get past this part, you can start experimenting with more instruments and giving us a few banging parts to listen to and maybe dance to.

Good loop

It might need a bit of work, but you're giving us something that you can work on. With a bit more work on the melody, you can tidy it up well. Perhaps make the beat a little quieter, just to let the melody flow through the piece itself.

Glad to see that it looped well, as it wasn't particularly anything special, but you've got songs to loop well, but that adds something nicely to it.

Needs work

I think that you've made a decent start - maybe work on making that beat sample a lot quieter though, as without it, the track will sound a lot better, but maybe you could get away with some sort of beat for the piece.

It needs to be longer and have more variation, so keep experimenting and throw us something else that you're working on and we'll try to point you in the right direction with it :)

Did it loop?

It's a good song, but I feel it went on too long for my liking - did you loop it 2 or 3 times where it would have done just to leave it like that for the one repeat?

If the above is the case, it sounds like you need to get some more variation into your act - either that or I got so zombified by it all that I tended to ignore large swathes of the track. It may not be my type of thing, but I'm sure I didn't do that :P

I think that with more variation like the 2 minute marker that you did would be called for, but something else to break away from the chorus style of things that dominates the track would work well.

Ambient House

This piece is beyond a single genre to describe it. The ambience of this track has given us a large scope for using it as something that you would find on a great many things like menus or even certain driving games - it's got that lovely rhythm to it that can uplift drivers who are making their ways to or from work.

I think that you've come up with a lovely track and perhaps a little more variation would be the icing on the cake - just throw in a lovely guitar solo, with maybe just a thump of the beat in the background, then blend the rest back in.

always cars with you :P
Thanks for the review.

Poignant

A nice little tune that makes people feel slightly sad when it comes to the crunch - possibly for the funeral of a great warrior, who gave his all in battle, only to be cut down by the enemies.

It just makes me think that some days are good days to die. Mostly life is worth living, but when it all boils down to it, most people will find that it's a lot easier to get onto this earth than to get off it.

I think that you could have made it a little longer, possibly adding something like a string solo in the middle, just to add to the production of the rest of the piece. Maybe the strings should bring forth a vibrance and an indication of thanks for whoever made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is a helpful review. Thanks! :-)

Constructive

I've heard a few constructive used of static before and the only one I ever bothered to remember was a piece called "Windows Noises". Well, no more, as this is a pretty damned good piece involving mostly static.

You've taken the annoying sounds and turned it into an art form, like graffiti artists, who are so damned creative that it can't be called a crime, it's amazing and confusing, all at the same time.

Such a dark overtone to this piece as well. Possibly about the fact that Static is a very noisy killer. It gets in through the ears and people succumb to sonic diarrhoea soon afterwards. The hazards of modern day life, I suppose.

Synth mixup

Not a bad start, but I think that the rather ambiguous sounding synths don't particularly mix in too well with the rest of the beat - you sound like you're trying to throw a little too much into the mix at one time and it just needs a little kick to take it away from that.

Towards the end, when you go for the bells part, it sounds great, so maybe cut some of the synth notes out and it will have a clearer sound, which produces something altogether more amazing.

I'll tell you something

It's not a bad tune, but I think that we're in the situation here of seeing a piece that has a couple of major flaws - the beat is too basic for my liking. If that could be dealt with, which it was towards the end of the tune, you'd have a much better piece on your hand.

The other major piece that I though needed some work on it was the melody, which might benefit from a little more variation, possibly from something a little less high pitched. Without that sort of backup from the tune, we might just have a piece that is a match winner.

I know it sounds harsh, but you have got the beginnings of a good tune here and with a few tweaks here and there, you could make this so much better.

So you won

Ah, so the battle was won - this seems like the celebration music for afterwards, when people are enjoying the prospect of prosperity and benevolence from either the new ruler, or the fact that the existing one remains.

Still, a nice uplifting piece, with a good sort of Kirby or Legend of Zelda feel to it. I can certainly see this having wide ranging implications for use in flash.

Perhaps it needs a trumpet solo, rather than the basic loop that is used throughout, but we're getting there.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks!
I hope that it will be used in a flash, but none of my music has been used yet.
Maybe in the future... :P

You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
