Reviews for Invention No. 2

Slight improvement

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Slight improvement
Review: Compared to Invention No. 1, that is.

Don't get me wrong, No. 1 was awesome, but this one sounded even better. Instruments were slowly introduced, and nothing came on right in your face. Everything fit perfectly together, and the only thing I really could want for was, no, not a loop, but simply a longer track.

A simple, yet really great, melody, that works soothing and sort of like an ambient track to the background of a slow-paced game.

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.

Hm, I wish I could write something like this when completely sober. Maybe I need to get drunk to write good music. Or maybe I need to learn a little bit about music first. :P

Yeah, a bit better than the first version in my opinion. Wasn't as sudden when introducing new instruments like the last one. The introduction has a little bit of a sneaky feeling to it also. Pretty good piece all around. Perhaps not better enough to increase by an entire point, but enough to see the difference.

I'm not sure how the drunkenness played in. It was jack daniels sour mash, if that helps.

I definitely like this one better, and will be expanding at least on the ideas used here.

Thanks for the review.

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

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.

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.
