"Randomization Can Be Bad Sometimes"

submission: THE HIDEN REEF

date: April 23, 2006

Don't ya just love it when you don't spell the title of your song correctly? Now if it becomes famous it'll always be referred to as The Hiden Reef vs The Hidden Reef. I must say I was disappointed as I expected a song about a reef in Germany. Jokes aside, I don't appreciate chaos in randomization very much. I like structure as most peeps do. You'll get better responses if you put more structure to your songs. Use less repetition and randomness. It seems sometimes like you have no sense of timing and that you're making the score of your composition on accident just fooling around. You have great clarity though! Keep working! You can only get better.

Score: 9

"Jerry Bruckheimer Called..."

submission: Island of Fear - Part 6

date: March 30, 2006

Just a quick line to tell you your composition is impressive. It reminds me of a "Rock"-like movie theme. Well done.

Score: 9

"Freakin' Awesome!!!"

submission: Where you wanna

date: August 14, 2005

I absolutely love this piece! Very nice! I actually got butterflies in my stomach as the beginning of this piece played out. Very rare for me. The high pitched instrument you chose to use midway through really distracted me from the piece. I wish I could hear it without that one instrument. But hell, it's one great piece of work. Nice job!

Score: 5

"Not Sure"

submission: Pokemon| Livin' in Pallet town

date: August 14, 2005

The music almost has an ominous sound like a boss battle or something. It's choppy. It's not bad...just not quite good. I'm not very familiar with your style or how you create your composition so I don't want to belittle your work by making trite of it. It just didn't grab me. Keep makin' music.

Score: 4

"Could Be Better"

submission: Escape From New York Remix

date: July 21, 2004

First off, I'm a huge fan of John Carpenter, his movies and music. I was excited to see this submission but upon listening to it, I was disappointed. It seems to me that the song would be best in an old video game but doesn't have very much relevance in a mainstream environment. It's a good translation but it needs something. The remix John Carpenter did for Escape from LA blows this away and I'm not saying this to be mean...it's just true. Keep trying though. You can only get better. Good luck!!

Score: 6

"Pretty Good"

submission: Walk The Orient

date: June 28, 2004

Could have picked up a little sooner. It's not bad...just a little cliche to me.

Score: 8

"This was Fantastic!"

submission: Blue Hope

date: June 20, 2004

Being a fellow composer, it takes a lot to make me stop and pause and this piece did just that. It's just what it says. Ambient. A very peaceful melody and I loved the touch of flute in there. The piano sounds great and frankly, so does the entire piece. I'd love to hear a complete work of this. Great job!!!

Score: 7

"You're Clairvoyant"

submission: Desperate Hope

date: June 17, 2004

Yes, it was annoying, but the fact that you identified it as such made it fun. I felt like I was facing a boss in Golden Axe. I could hear this in a game. Nice one.

Score: 6

"It All Depends"

submission: Cant decide [FIXED]

date: June 17, 2004

Don't you hate people who download your stuff and don't review it. Freakin' leeches! Anyway, I like the actual beat and melody of the piece, it just had that dated sound. Now if you're going for an old computer game style of sound, then you've succeeded. It could certainly be used on a flash app or on a British Television sci fi program. I'm just not into the whole retro sound to a certain degree as I feel the song can make or break whatever it's presented in. Nice note placement though.

Score: 7

"I Liked It"

submission: *insert title here*

date: June 17, 2004

I feel like it could be fleshed out more. More instruments. I feel like the previous post may have been a little harsh. I enjoyed the break and some of those lagging breaks that didn't quite seem to belong actually grew on me as a sort of style rather than a mistake. A more agressive drum beat during the, shall we say industrial, part of the track might be cool. It never hurts to add things you wouldn't expect to work. You end up with interesting results.
