[for tabby]

So pretty :3

GrayZ responds:

:3! <3

[Slowly on The Spot]

I really like the sound of your guitar; it's totally giving this a chill feeling. You must actually be playing, right?

dhudson907 responds:

Yeah :') this is one where I recorded properly
Thanks for your response :')

[Cheer Up! [FFS]]

Lol this may be older, but I can still get the sense of your style out of it. And I know dat feel btw, when something older that you've done makes you embarrassed to have it posted. It's like "How did I ever think this sounded GOOD?!"
But you're overreacting. This isn't bad ^_^
Much love as always.

Bafana responds:

Thanks :D Well, I like the melody but the production is balls.

[Stab Victims!]

Again, loving it. Stop being so goddamned fantastic!
This to me had a very Crescendolls feel to me.
The change between 1:25 and 2:27 was maybe not my favorite choice--the key change felt a little forced and out of place with the intro. But it still was a good section.
Download for sure ;)

OcularNebula responds:

thanks, bird lady!

I don't quite see the connection to Crescendolls, but it's a nice reference, anyhow!

true, the intro differs quite a bit from the middle section (esp. with the key change), but I vary my music to try to keep it interesting, though, I suppose there is always a balance between variation and thematic consistency

I don't know if you've listened to Lustrous Amalgamation, but that piece had a way more abrupt character change in the middle, it could almost have been two different pieces!

[unseeing]

I love the piano. I don't think of it so much as an instrument, but as a second voice to duet with. I found myself humming along with this piece to. The piano melody was well thought out--a definite carry in feel. Sometimes the drums felt a little to reverbed, but really that was all I could find out of place, and it really wasn't that distracting. Well done.

Skcy3 responds:

Thank you for the review ellebirdy23, knowing your voice I bet you humming sounded 10X better than the actual song lol. Your review means a lot, thank you for taking the time to post it.

[Arabian Alloy]

The choice of beat mismatch between the melody line and the main kick is interesting. I also found the main melody line... interesting. I guess I can't say I really loved the song. I more find it an intriguing specimen. The whole thing was fascinating from an inspirational and technical point of view. I did listen to it a few times through.
I guess I don't really have any pointers or tips. I didn't "Like" it, but it sure got my attention.

Synthapse responds:

Thanks for your input. I'll do my best to improve!

[ReCollect - Floating Away]

Well, I'm always a sucker for piano lines in electro pieces. I feel like it adds "mystic" vibes, especially with reverb. I noticed immediately that the melody line was very far away, and at first I wanted more. But it kind of works to have the beats be at the forefront here. It was very ambient and easy to listen to all the way through. Good work ^_^

DreamEater responds:

Thanks ellebirdy, I always love reading your reviews x3

[Crossing Horizons]

This style is wonderful. And you've clearly put some thought into your melody line. I love this.

KD18 responds:

Thank you :D! I'm actually quite a big fan of your music too; your voice is absolutely wonderful, and I love how it interplays with the piano in your vox/piano solo pieces.

[Shakin' [Hardstylez]]

I can't put my finger on why I like this so much, but I do XD

Bafana responds:

I think because it sounds like what they'd play at a rave for clowns.

[RR: Shiver Star Kirby 64]

This is one of my favorite songs from Kirby and the Crystal Shards... I don't know if slowing the song down was necessarily the best creative choice. In doing so you were able to change up the melody slightly, but what made this song great from the game was the upbeat exciting feel. Slowing it down kind of took the "umph" out of it.
I also noticed that beyond a few creative twists on the melody, there really wasn't much "Remixed" in this song.

I just feel a little underwhelmed. But don't give up on music! Improvement comes from criticism and strength comes from your ability to take such criticism. I have no doubt one day you may wow me ^_^

JamesmanNG responds:

to each their own really, I don't think this song was incredible because of it being really fast/upbeat, but because the notes that make up the song make it fun to listen to.

thanks for the critc though ~
