"Hmmm"
date: April 29, 2009
Remembered you did some decent pieces before so checked back after finding someone's work with you're music in it.
There are some definite clarity boosts in this one compared to the others, but the difference, after checking, isn't huge. Please note:
I understand that this is a practice piece. I am, however, critiqueing it anyway.
Drums - Bad. They sound very synthy, every beat exactly same as the last, listen to drums, no beat sounds the same, there's always a slight tone difference. Also, they are very... plastic. Basically just doesn't sound right. The beat was fairly simple, I've heard it a lot of times before and because of the drum sounds it lacked even more. sounds sorta like a robot playing with one hand.
Strings? - Ok, they're muddied and I can't hear them in some places properly.
Brass - probably the best part, however it's muddied, and I can only hear the overall tune but not the melodies within.
Choral - excellent, good job with that.
Overall, you did a good job for epic, but it falls over due to lack of clarity between instruments and there is little complexity to be heard. A suggestion would be to work on the tune itself until there is a good range in pitch and instrumentation and that you make sure you don't overdo the bass sections which can drown out some of the higher ones. Try to work on a bit more complexity and that last drum bit was unnecessary.
Keep up the good work, I'll be paying attention in the future.
