[krachmaninoff-a rainy day]

Wow

This is really well done. Even though it's in a garage it maintains a vintage sound to it as if it was a live venue in the 60s.

[CKC - In The Night]

Not bad

For the equipment you seem to have sample wise, it's not bad. It acheives it's own sound, and the orchestra almost gives it a Moby quality to it. Not sure if I would call this hip-hop by itself, but hip-hop influenced. Lyrics over it would obviously change that. NG genres are iffy anyway.

CKC2009 responds:

meh.. this aint sampled

all ym songs are original man

but i get ya

thanks

[Toccata]

Great

This is great. You had the fortunate honor to have a good group of instrumentalists play your music, that's hard to find sometimes.

Due to the 8 piece orchestration, it has a Final Fantasy feel to it. Especially in the way it was engineered. The writing overall had some various feelings in it that make me feel the same. At times it goes back to a more classical vibe.

The strings are REALLY good. Those guys actually know their vibrato.

Excellent writing job. Not sure if I could've done anything close to this complex, but who knows.

robomanus responds:

Thank you for good words. The instrumentalists were my friends from music school and yeah, they are professional. I hope that I will record more pieces with them. Thx for review :D

[prelude for dusk]

Neat

A bit repetative but I overall like the unique creepy feel you have here. Nice chord progression and inversions (what notes in the bass from the chord)

oddfellowfloyd responds:

thank you for the words, mate! (yes, i'm familiar with inversions and chords)

i wished the piece to be repetitive, to solidify the theme, but use subtler elements, like sound effects, and slightly building the momentum in the piano and bass and drumms to add to the dreamy, dissociative state of the composition, as a whole, rather than come in with new bits of music. i happen to like some very repetitive music, but even though it SOUNDS repetitive, they add touchees of things here and there, to give the piece depth and breadth, so you don't mind that something is being played over and over again.

i do this because i like the feeling of closing my eyes, and losing myself in the music, almost so much so that i forget how many times i've heard something, and each new time is a sparkley, Sublime experience.

hehe

peace,

Likedy

I liked this. Has a nice chord progression and mood.

[For Those...]

Great Piece

Well, done simplistic piano piece, but it needs some engineering. Preferably long reverb trails.

[timid girl]

Almost Town'ish music

This really well done. Uplifting tune, good engineering, good VI's, overall just well done.
