We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
DAMN
Man, love your classical submissions alot. Always have. Gives me goosebumps, has such a dark ambience..right up my alley. A good Jack the Ripper movie would be prime use for something like this. Great stuff, as usual man.\m/
Thanks for your vote, Bad_Man_Incorporated! You voted 5 for KoT - Mightnights, keeping its score at 5.00.
Thanks for the vote badman. One of these days we got to get together and jam.
Great remake!
Damn...I already voted on the other piece...The hell only knows why I didn't left a review back then. >:(
To the track itself. As the title says...GREAT remake. Better instruments and better sound for sure!
The bells kinda remind me of "secret of mana". ^^
I'm not really a man who can criticize classical music...you know why. ;) But my ears say this was a pleasure and my head says 5 up for great justice! :D
Thanks alot for the vote & review. You gotta tell me what your MSN is...
Wow
NO matter how man times I hear this I still love it. I thought I reviewed this already but hey oh well. I really love the bells in this. They are used frequently but they don't get boring. I do agree with Arbiter that you should have had a contrabass going. I love the strings and the piano was great. I hope you get the time to work on more orchestral tracks soon.
Thanks alot man. Sorry for the late reply... Yeah, I've give orchestral music a break for abit to focus on more guitar oriented stuff. Orchestral takes alot of time but I'm defintely gonna make some more soon.
dood
0___o @ Submission date....why the fuck didn't i find this one earlier?!?
Awesome
Hello Killer_of_trolls
lets begin our review by analysing mood and atmosphere the song presents.
Those tubelar bells introduction serves to make for a good ominious feeling. At that point I was thinking he could go all holy dark, or tense dark, and when the strings clicked into place right away the tense harmony came into being.
I like the string/bells combo, they wack a good wallop together. The mood is definatly set in.
Lets talk about instruments and melody works
The piano in the background of those bells, at the beginning, and again near 1:18, I question myself, what would they sound like, if they were softened. I think right now they're a tad too harsh.
If you cut their velocity to half, and copy pasted like 5 times, you'd get a softer, and more "reverbed" kind of feel, which I think may serve a better purpose. It's not a professional trick, but one I use from time to time ;).
I like the various strings, you've used different elements from different strings sections to really drive a unique feeling home. Especially around 0:48 with those strings there, they really worked well.
I know this is an older piece, still I think you overused those bells, they work great, but near the middle you have them loop I think 4 or so times, it makes them lose their power.
The only thing I can think of adding to this song would be slow string chords, not so much as to add melody or mood, but as a foundation assistance, to enhance the other instrments.
Thats all I can think of for now Killer_of_trolls. Good stuff man, keep them coming ^^. Glad to see you still submitting.
Yeah, I really like this piece. I think it does set a dark, tense mood. I do have a few more ideas on what to do with this mainly adding some more strings at around the :49 mark.
Thanks for the review soulstrings. I've listen to all your music already and enjoy it.
