It's all about CLASSICAL
>:(
Why all this classical... I like your electronica so much better. But you've got talent in this too, so I won't complain. Only thing outside the actual song is the title... You should at least have named it SOMETHING. Though many classical composers just call them (composition/symphony etc) (number) I mean, forget what I said I don't know wtf I'm talking about now.
I don't believe you recorded anything, did you? Cause most sampled instruments really lose their feeling when they are played at a high pitch. A bit how I felt now too. The only reason I'm pointing it out is that this is when it's played alone. When you have more in it it doesn't have quite that bad thing, the track as a whole sounds much better then. It blends into it and sounds just right.
The bass strings drown out a little when you put their volume and velocity down. Sounds very good in the start and through it. They almost rumble too, which is good. The notes are nothing to complain about, simple and superb
Well, these bass strings are playing notes that end and start just when the first do. Of course it works, but for a little more interesting mix you could try having a few short notes in the same range in the end of a note to get a bridge between the notes. And having the bass strings as is. Gah, I can't describe that in text... I need to make an audible example but ... >:(
Orchestral quicksilver filling... is good, takes the impression out of the orchestra hall into an orchestra hall in an oriental place. Yes I know it isn't really oriental instrument but it sounds so much like that. It makes atmosphere and made a feeling on me, which is good. So yeah, the addition was smart.
Ohhhh, here comes the piano! I love it. Sounds so melancolic and lonely, and yet it has this rich feel to it. The chords, notes and variations are cleverly done, and it comes and leaves just in the right time. The only thing I could see done better is if you added wee bit more reverb. Except for that it's excellent! The piano is essetial for this piece.
That's about that in the track, isn't it? There's some trumpets and brasses in here, but they aren't standing out enough for me to comment anything special on them. They sounds very good either way, and make some parts of the song sound very dramatic and exciting.
I'm quite dissapointed that you don't have any percussion in this though. Some huge, orchestral bass drums or gongs once in a very while could've done the piece sound more dramatic and/or moody. I believe your track is meant to have a sad feeling, like something or someone is lost. If that is so, you can forget the percussion comment.
Song is pretty repetitive. Nothing interesting or changing when it comes to structure, it's more of the same sadness repeating itself. You have a lot of interesting variations (especially hen it comes to the piano) in the track, but there's nothing that surprises or awakes the song. The song sounds pretty basic, and that is part of what's positive in it, sometimes simplicity is the best, right?
The track is overall a great composition. It has some points where it could have been better, but that is all just outside inspirations, add-ons and opinionated stuff. If it's awesome to you , nothing should be changed.
I'm nearing your awesomeness with this review, Karco :)
Gotta tell everything possible to do so though.
