So i wrote this one mostly while drunk.


Pizzicato strings, some brass and a harp!


I'm not entirely satisfied with the brass, but we'll see what NG has to say I guess.


This one's in D, but there's a few spots with definite dissonance going on.


Tear it apart guys.

What does this remind me of?

I'm not sure if you've ever played Everquest (I'm talking about the original one) but that's the first thing that came to mind when I heard this. All the songs in EQ were classical and they were all awesome, so I hope you take that comparison as a compliment.

It sounds very clean, parts of it need some "humanization." Some parts of it sounds a bit empty if you know what I mean.

Mixdown is excellent too.

Overall, great short tune :)

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review.

Oh man everquest, I never played it but I can guess at what the music was like.

There's -some- humanization, but that's a property I'm still working with.

Glad you liked it.

If you insist!

Overall, I like this.

Those lower brass notes stand out too much for my liking and although I can see why you put them in as part of the melody, the brass just seems to let it down somewhat.

From 00.10 to 00.19 my very minor criticism would be that the brass mimics the backing too closely without being in harmony. Personally I would go one way or another.

00:30 to 00:40 is just beautiful though, I could listen to that on loop.

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it.

The brass samples really disappoint me.

I'm relatively proud of this one I guess.

You make fun stuff when drunk.

Pizzicato strings definitely sound nice with that little melody you have there.

Maybe you would be more statisfied with the brass if you simply lowered the volume of it a tad bit. The moment it comes in I just feel like 'that's too loud'. No shit, lol.

At first I got the idea that the panning was a bit faulty with the pizzicato strings and the brass to the right, but when you introduced the harp it made more sense. Nice play.

I've got an idea for something you could (perhaps in a sober state);
extend what you have, and add some 'heavier' strings to it, perhaps cello or contrabass.

If you really want to go with it (which I doubt you do though :p), you could merge the track with some metal recording, and make once big fusion track of it. I know you could do it.

Anyway, good work loans, keep on it.

loansindi responds:

Yeah, now that you mention it the brass is hella loud.

Extending it would be doable I think, if I just established a few variations on themes.

The thing about the metal though, I'm just not a lead player so I'd have to bring someone in for that part.

Thanks for the review

Its Bare

This song could use some direction I liked the strings you finished with I wish you would have continued and used the strings. What drives me nuts as sort of a pet peeve thing. Your song changes voices so ok we start with some brass, then poof we move on to a harp, and then we end with strings. I wish they all would have met at some point and played together. Not just a bunch of short solos.

But other then that the writting and the portion at 16 rly do save this song and add a really merry feel that can't be denied. Good work.

loansindi responds:

Definitely fair review, I'm not sure I even considered keeping the brass when the harp came in.

Something i'll keep in mind.

Nothing to tear apart here

Yeah, I would like to tear this apart, problem is to do that there has to be something wrong with the song. But there isn't. :P

Only the slight dissonances (most noticable at 0:24) disturb the song a bit. Get rid of them and you have again an awesome song. The slow build up is very nice, I like it much better as if the song starts right away with the action.

But it's again a pity that it is so short. Make longer songs! :P

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review!

I'm not sure I hear the dissonance at twenty four seconds, I know the harp has some inentional minor feel.

I'm definitely working on length.
