[Forest of Twinkling Lights]

Nice sound

Love the "PIANO" later on in this this piece starts off slow but seems like you could have started it off faster, doesnt really build up to later, Now here was something that jumped out at me with style and a good vibe, you have a good track here that brings a little extra to the front, And nowto end this, but not before I coment on your piece, there is some slight work to be done but you still know what you want and like and thats all that really matters so keep up the good sound work its looking good sofar, cant wait to see what you decide to work on next.

SourJovis responds:

Thank you. Glad you liked the piece overall.

With the thing you mention to improve, you mean the 1 minute intro before the piano part is too slow? You'd like it better if that part was shorter or wasn't there at all? Or do you think that part of the song simply should have been better, with more instruments for example?

The intro of the song was a part I struggled a lot with. I myself am easily bored or distracted, that's why I usually make songs that get to the point and have a clear melody and tight structure. Other people sometimes blame me for making my songs too short. Many other musicians make songs with lots of variations, improvisations and parts that are there to set a mood, but are not the meat and the potatoes of the songs. More like the vegetables. Either I end up being uninterested in (that part of) the song, or really impressed if it's well executed, because it's something I cannot do well myself.

Either way, I felt starting of with the piano immediately would be too sudden. Especially because I wanted this to become the opening nummer of the second disc of a double album. I also felt a slow mysterious intro would work well for this song. It's just something I'm not too good at, so perhaps it lacks a little in the execution.

I'll keep your suggestion in mind, listen to what other people have to say, and perhaps I'll change it later.

Pretty good

So you have some pretty good stuff here I'm not all that familiar with the new wave style but from what I hear on this one it has a nice progress and some nice variety on it so it was kind of cool and I really enjoyed how this played along so as for improvments I'm not too sure but more mixture of other instraments and sounds would be cool just an idea to throw your way

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More mixtures of other instraments and sounds to ad a little unique background effect

Oof, sadly this is so old this barely represents what I do now this is like comparing a hot smoking BBQ babe and a cheapest cut of the meat from a 7-11 with sauce and no flavor. Check my current stuff out at https://tetrahedrix.newgrounds.com/ & https://tetrahedrix.bandcamp.com/

Awesome

So this was an awesome piece you have here a very intense sound and you do have a peaceful sound going on from one part to the next it's just flows with some quality and I love just hearing this you have some real good skills here and it shows in what you have presented here today anyways hope you make more of this or future endeavors but regardless nice job here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
No major changes maybe some drops and build ups

~X~

Miyolophone responds:

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[Torment [Battle] (2010)]

Very good

Very good work here now this one was kind of short but you still have some good quality in this one so I would love to see you ad some more sounds even some other random instraments maybe as a subtle background sound even it might reflect off of the main focus but regardless overall this was a brilliant piece you have here very good sound work here

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some added sounds and maybe make this longer

~X~

Ritz190 responds:

I appreciate your reviews man! yea this one was cut short same as the project itself. since it was bg music it was probably gonna be on a loop during the death matches but a full version would have made it out had the game still been in production.

Climatic

This was very climatic especially what you did with the ending here this was a pretty deep and long tune aswell very nice work here and I really enjoyed how this all played out very nice work indeed and a nice element of sound with good quality added right behind it the piano o was really nice and sounded very really so props to you for that so I don't think this really needs much changes it's a solid piece here and just a great track

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
No changes it's really solid work and a great sound

~X~

Red65 responds:

[Crusher]

Awsome

Wow this was pretty nice I especially like the drums on this piece it was really good I think you should have different variations of drums but other then that this was really a good track you have here I really like the mixture you have in this one anyways keep making great tracks like this one it's just a solid sound anyways that's what I take away from this one

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More dums and various drums

~X~

UmmabeatsMusic responds:

Thank you for your review! :)
I'm still working on it, just a bit slow, but i'll try to vary the drums more in the final version

[Derpcat - be happy]

Wow nice

Wow this was nice I love the build ups in this but seems like you could have even more build up. You have a nice style and there is some good melody feel to this even you have an amazing piece of work here and really just a beautiful sound so the onlything I would really ad would be more intense build up but anyways that's just one idea what you have is pretty good stuff

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More intense build up

~X~

DerpcatOfficial responds:

thanks ;)

[Corkscrew - Infinity]

Really nice

So this was a nice track you have here some good sound quality and some nice mixes in this one I do feel as if it needs more variety and much more mixtures of different sounds comming in and out that would be my mix on things its a really solid tune and glad I found it very entertaining indeed so nice work here I hope you make more great tunes anyways untill next time keep it real

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More mix of variations

~X~

ItzCorkscrew responds:

I'll improve that :) Thank you for the feedback :D

[Tecorallia]

Very nice

So this is "VERY NICE" especially the "GUITAR" and "PIANO" you really know how to make this work and at a highh quality this one is one of my faves now and Im an instant fan, Maybe somewhere in the middle have it drop or fade out then you can slowly build it up again, anyways as always great work.

Brostro responds:

thanks for the amazing feedback! <3 i will be sure to do that if i make any others like this

[Verdant Strangeness]

Wow really nice

I have to give you props on this one its got a good deep sound with some "TWISTS" mixed in the middle I do however think you could make this longer and some build ups ofcourse, You have a nice piece here presenting some interesting and unique vibes, and keeps one interested even wanting more, so nice effort on this track, Possibly the Finest of the day sofar, You have some nice results here with this piece, you really kicked this one up a notch or two and thats what I liked about it all, nice work here. but thats my Summary for this piece, Cant wait to se what else you make for us.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I do however think you could make this longer and some build ups ofcourse

GreyHooves responds:

Thank you for the tips and nice words. Yeah, the length is always something I struggle with for the One Hour Compos. I'd like to say I'm improving in that aspect, but it honestly feels pretty random most of the time XD

Build ups though eh? I rarely even think about the different sections and elements when I'm composing these things, I mostly just write note by note until I'm satisfied with the result. I suppose that's something I can improve on :P
