it really turned out nice

A clean and melodic adaptation. I like the ambient use of slayer and how you did the builds. Very good orchestration. It might be a touch long (probably better suited as a 2 and half minute type of song) but otherwise well done.

ganon95 responds:

lol ya it is a little long

this is fresh

it's easy to tell that this took a lot of work. It has a very very unique blend that I would agree somehow seems to side on the "Harvest Moon" area of the video-game music spectrum...

well worth a top spot

DomesticTerrorist responds:

:D Thanks!

well done

i think this particular chord progression tends to get used A LOT when trying to evoke emotional imagery - and for good reason. It makes layering harmonically interesting instruments very easy to do as it tends to allow sustained notes landing on places in the scale to be held that you normally wouldn't be able to pull off with a different set of chords.

The 'drums' were a nice touch. Timbali? I can never remember the names of all the flippin percussion pieces that are available to ones arsenal now that using foreign instruments sets has become so popular.

kelwynshade responds:

Exactly. Somthing about these chords strike the heart in a certain way. You got the drums right on the money.

Can't wait til I get around to actually workin on this again.

this is a classic

no doubt at all.

You were back in the ole amiga times eh? I can tell with just that line right there that your not another one of the typical teeny-boppers around here. I assume you were using Melodyne for pitch correction? Nice. The vocals are just about perfect. Honestly - I have nothing but positive critique for this number. It's so good, that it sounds to have just the same level of production as the other world-famous trance mixes I've heard through the intranets. If you can make better stuff than what you've got right - that would be a real trick.

SkyMarshall responds:

Hey! And yes, I was very much back in ye ol' Amiga-days with all the great ones. Had the time of my life back there, and began making music back then. And Im getting old ... damn! No, didnt use Melodyne. Actually I usually use Antares-software, but this time around the pitch-bending was minimal - so I used Adobe Audition's parameters to achieve it. Nothing to complicated in this one, as I wanted my voice to be nerdy and natural. Hehe. I'll try to top my self ofcourse, thats why we keep making music, right :) Thanks for your 10 and otherwise a great review, I love it mate :)

you must have some killer gear/pluggies

because there ain't no way your music is going to punch like it does here without it. extraordinary production

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thats awesome to hear. I use a podX3 and record in Cool Edit Pro, or Cubase.
Metaljonus uses a podx3 also, I believe. Don't know his recording program though.

Many thanks for the listen!

awesome....absolutely gorgeous

in a minimalistic sort of way (on average). This really deserves to become one those beautiful full-fledged 6:00 goa club bangers...

sonicxtreme responds:

thanx!

nice work

lovely, really. minimalistic, but really effective. there's definitely a groove there...

again - wish I had reason 4 lol. maybe i should just stick to working on my synthesis abilities period before I get in over my head...

Quarl responds:

meow.

absolutely inspiring

what makes even more beautiful is just the fact that it isn't a perfect sounding piano that is being used - but it IS the RIGHT piano that is being used...something I think a lot of composers miss. You don't always need the most bomb equipment and stereo-widened to hell sounds to make something sound right. In fact - it's crippling to have all perfect sounding things.

The mix is very wet with all the reverb - but in this case - you know how to use that to your advantage whereas (again) many other composers would find themselves drowning the piece in it. It seems your instruments at least know how to "swim" so to speak.

Though it's just 2 simple chords, they turn out to be tremendously effective...but that was probably very evident from just the first time you played them. I know how that sort of stuff goes...

kelwynshade responds:

Exactly. Sometimes when some of us sit down and strike a few notes, you can already hear the whole song pan out. If something is strikingly emotional from just a few keys, usually we're on to something.

I appreciate the comments, especially since you're right on the money. Sometimes the perfect sound isn't always what makes the perfect song.

geez i really like how this flows

I mean - it's not that anything in particular stands out...it's just the feeling behind the orchestration and melding of all the instruments. For the purpose - it is indeed perfect.

kelwynshade responds:

thanks man. Agreed, nothing too over the top, just something you'd typically hear while switching through the options.

Thanks.

great work

Professional level quality stuff. I'm not crazy huge punk/metal fan but this is very well thought out - and deserves much MUCH higher honors than it has already accrued...

Vocals would put it at a 10 I imagine (for me). But honestly - it's very very solid work. Classy.

Evil-Dog responds:

haha nice :) thanks for the comment
