"Great sounds"
date: April 25, 2008
The sounds you used here were great, the mixing and orchestration really worked for me, I could hear everything I needed to hear, nothing was muddy or buried or stuck out. I do like how the harmonic rhythm is very straight, it lends itself well to the driving percussion which keeps on going, and the pacing of the piece doesn't stretch it out so that that texture gets old. The chord changes/voicing sound very smooth, very pleasing to the ear. I might suggest you use a little counterpoint in places where the chords don't change but a bit of extra push is needed, such as at 1:44, I hear the suspension which resolves down (which is quite awesome) but it is a bit faint, I think if you put some more activity in there, if not a chord change then some sort of moving line or maybe some kind of embellishment in the instrument that suspends/resolves, that would really make a world of difference. But all that is icing, I love the sounds and the feel!
