"Good job"

This piece is very well done. This seemsw suitable for use in a trailer for an epic movie. It has the just the right amount of suspense and build up to be perfect for an action movie. Nicely done. Straight tens across the board, a rarity from me. Congratulations.

"hey dude"

On a few parts, things sounded out of place. Like the second time that delayed "riff" came around it sounded fairly out of place and the bit after that sounded slightly dry and lacking substance.

BUT

It was still very good. I personaly would clean up those two bits a little bit before I hand it in and then the person listening cannot fault it in any way. But if that kinda thing is what you are looking for go for it.

Good luck Boss

good instrumentation. nice use of percussion and changes in time signature. good sense of minor harmony and tonal center. im guessing you have at least SOME influence (or have listened to) dream theater?

if you want the criticism portion of your review, email me at raphberry@gmail.com.

there are too many people on NG who have too much pride to take advice. i can tell you though that my comments are usually very constructive and that im well versed in composition. ill give you my musical background if you decide to email me.

regards,
raph

"Impressive!"

I've been listening up on your pieces for a while DrZ, I decided it was time for me to show my support.

By samples, I believe madboss was referring to the quality of the instruments, I realize you play all the notes in through your piano, but you should consider hooking up your keyboard to the computer and get a program like Fruity Studio's, and then get some VST's for some high quality sounds.

Still putting that all aside, I really enjoyed the tense feel you present here with those toms. Especially in the middle with that constant thumping. I could imagine a dark robed and hooded figure slowly walking towards you on a cliff, his robes swaying gently with the wind, dark storms gathering across the skies and so forth.

The "ooh" choir is quite neat! I have difficulty finding a good place to use the "ooh" choir, but you seem to have found a neat home for it.

The spic strings beginning didn't really set a tense atmosphere for me right away, but of course as it went, it fixed itself. I would just work a tad at the beginning, it's just because you have such a driving force in the middle it seems out of place.

Anyways, thats my 2 cents, I really like your stuff, I would like to ask you to listen to a few of my tracks and see if you like them. 5/5 from me DrZ, keep up the good fight!
