I definitely wasn't expecting this when I clicked on this track, man this sounds awesome
Great job man, especially love how you added the sped up part. 5/5 from me bro.

HugoJunstrand responds:

Thank you, kindly! That "Hurry up" part where it gets faster later on is my personal favourite. That was immensely fun to record.

This is a dual review from me and a friend. My friend says it sounds a bit basic. Personally, I think this song is pretty sick though. Five stars from me.

Krewlex responds:

Thanks very much! It's not everyone's cup of tea but feedback is appreciated!

You should put in a warning for those high synths in the comments, I'm pretty sure I have tinnitus now.

Okay, what's apparent is that there's too many melodies playing at roughly the same octave, and too much delay on the instruments in the main section, both of those factors clutter the sound too much to make out the melody. That much delay should be reserved for background sfx and only used in the foreground only if you know the delay won't interfere with the main melody.

Now about the beginning, it sounds kinda empty when it first starts out. Even though you got that effect going on in the background in the intro, it still seems to lack something. I think it's the C-F-E-D-C pattern of the melody in the beginning, it doesn't hit any emotional buttons for me. It might also be a personal bias, as I usually start my songs one of three ways: A slow chord progression, a relatively quick melody or tons of drums or sound effects.

Lastly, the instruments all seem to not be panned to the left or right and playing at roughly the same volume (except the high synths), which also contributes to the difficulty of separating the various elements from each other.

Sorry for so much criticism, I do have something good to say though. First, good job on building these synths, they sound pretty good. Second, that section from 1:45-1:53 and the other sections are pretty damn clever.

Keep making music bro, you're at that point where you'll keep growing by leaps and bounds. I remember when I was at that point, and I look back and am shocked by how good I got in such little time. Keep experimenting with different effects and synths too, I want to see what you come up with.

JMSy responds:

thanks for the big review. I think you are correct to many similar sounds cluttering up the mix and to much delay taking away the definition from the melody. PErhaps its a dull chord progression. Im always using the same ones though seems hard to mix it up. I really need to learn music theory or experiment more. Instuments arent panned anywhere all central but they have ping pong delay.....

I think to progress I should learn to play keys/piano and music theory. I can make far more interesting work with my guitar but cant put that into my piano playing.

Probably the happiest song I've listened to in a long time, thanks for making me smile bro. Nothing to criticize really, mix is excellent, melody is excellent, harmony is excellent, everything is excellent. I don't need to tell you to keep making great music like this, it's probably second nature to you.

HappyHype responds:

Thanks for bring a smile to me aswell by reading this review! :D

There's something about that string melody that plays throughout the song, I don't know if its the timing or the attack. Either way I recommend heading to the audio forum and snatching up the samples posted there. With those you could turn this into one hell of a song.

JMSy responds:

i think maybe one of the notes in the melody is off? mmm

I love the intro, puts me in a serious mood, ready to fuck shit up. Seriously makes me want to find a retro side-scroller and play that for 4 hours non-stop.

The multiple melodies blend together excellently, the rhythms are perfect, there is nothing I can critique in this song. 5/5 downloaded, I can learn from this song.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks, i appreciate it! :)
I'm glad you like it so much and if you could even take something from this song to implement in your own song(s), that would be awesome.

This song makes me want to commit some kind of heist and escape via jet ski while wearing sunglasses. Though there is something about the melody that bothers me, I really can't put my finger on it. Other than that, nice job!

Angelsosa responds:

I'm glad 'cause now i know i'm not the only one who thinks that about this song! Thanks a lot for your comment!

Those melodies are freaking creative man, and that synth is just perfect. As the other guy said, definite scout.

However, I do feel like the song is missing something, I feel like it needs a bit more variation, although it's still very good as it is.

battleshield responds:

Helpful! Thanks!

I was gonna give you a thorough review with a whole bunch of criteria and everything, but then I realized that was unnecessary. Only issue I have is that you should have let the last few notes decay for a bit longer, other than that it's really good.

I particularly like how you variations in volume and tempo, but that's a given in a solo piano song. What makes yours significant is that you did it well.

So 5/5 from me, nice bro!

pftq responds:

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

I had a feeling I had heard this track a while ago

Didn't realize it was a few years ago lol. This review might be a bit incoherent, I woke up 30 minutes ago.

Melody/Harmony: I'm particularly fond of the string melody, I always have a soft spot for fast string melodies. Also, that piano sounds great!
Rhythm: The rhythm is quite unique, but that's why I like it. I can't put my finger on what it sounds like, but it works well for this song, particularly the mood you set.
Dynamics and Articulation: First of all, the synth work is AMAZING! Really like the glitchiness that 2:00, and how it connects to the section afterwards. I really don't need to say much about dynamics, you've always been excellent with that.
Beginning and End: Both excellent.

Overall, this piece is great. I will be downloading this and adding it to my mp3.
10/10 5/5 good to hear from you again, sorry about the collab dude, I had personal issues I had to go through, namely getting fired from my job. If you want to have another go, let me know. Just let me get settled in school first though :)

Gravey responds:

As always friend I'm honored you took the time to listen and review my latest submission. I would love to work on a collaboration with you sometime. Just let me know when you are ready for it.

If you ever wanted to make high-quality music with low quality inexpensive shit, I'm the man to ask ;-)
