"As requested!"

date: October 11, 2007

Dude, this is phenominal! Way to go on this one, no one is lying about imagery here ^^.

The song itself: Very nice orchestra work, sounds very sentimental for you can hear the strings wavelengths straining...good choice on the orchestra, I especially liked the solo strings. The flute work was also great, and the timpani roll flourishes were perfect, I wouldn't have thought of that. I also like the cymbal and windchime glistens throughout the piece..

Imagery: As we start out, we are relaxed and walking through an intriguing forest, and although there is nothing initially grand about it, we have a sense..a strange feeling that more lies in this forest then meets the eye...
Suddenly, the trees break open into a small open area, the sun beaming down in strands upon it, feeding the flowers which bloom there. First we notice the beautiful flowers blossoming, a grand sight indeed, but it is not until idly staring at these for a few breif eternities that we notice a nimble little butterfly, leaping from one flower to the other, suckling at it's heart content.
We approach, it flees farther back, we countinue approaching and the butterfly countinues its retreat...we are now following for no particular rhyme or reason, but out of an undeniable curiosity and good nature..
Now we follow it through a narrow pathway of the forest, and finally, as grand old trees begin to be seen, we emerge into a vast open area, a grand lake at it's center, a grand waterfall at its mouth..It was an avalon...
As the butterfly then flew off, we noticed tree, alone from all others in appearence, and approach..Upon arriving at it we lay our head againt it and peer upward, closing our eyes...there was nothing to be seen in our mind, nothing but an indescribable peace, overcoming us, unable to be withold, unable to be withstrained..and as a lone man on that very tree, we began to play our cello without restraint..withought encouragement or pay ... it was insipration and bliss that played that cello for us...
As we lay there playing our cello so very timelessly, a beautiful young woman appraches, playing a small, unidentifiable flutelike instrument...we played together for an eternity until, like a dream, she vanished, leaving us alone playing one last strand of song.... one last verse....one last truth....
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-----------------
Now from an out of body veiw we slowly revolve upward...and like a satistfied spirit leaving it's host we watch the lake circle out of veiw, leaving only a white haze in it's wake...

Thanks for reading such a lenghty review! If you were slightly confused be the end, let me sum it up..it was basically a sureal experience of sheer perfection that turned out to be an illusion of the mind, a dream, or perhaps the reality that is shrouded by the world...

GREAT SONG! 5/5! 10/10!

Best of Wishes and With Great Sincerity,

Don't worry, that wasn't that confusing, but dude i love your reviews.

After reading your whole review, depicting such a dream, i'm now wondering; when you sleep, you dream right?

But if the rest in itself was the dream?

Wow, see what you're doing to me? I'm turning all crazy, lol !

Anyways thanks ALOT, and i mean ALOT for accepting my request.

"RESPECT!"

by: Errard
date: September 19, 2007

Yes! Wonderful. I'm looking for Forest themes and solemn but powerful music. This delivers both wonderful. It flows, it meshes, nothing stands out as grating, everything feels 'balanced'. The instruments sound well together and its been brought together wonderfully with an inspired timing instead of a strict melody.

"Pour un essai...C'est plutot génial !!"

date: August 31, 2007

Salut !! C'est encore moi !! Bon alors deja dans l'ensemble ca sonne vraiment bien, merci d'avoir enfin composer quelquechose de relativement long !!, les sons des intruments que tu utilisent sont vraiment réalistes ( je pense particulierement aux percussions). Belles mélodies, bon arrangement : on reconnait vraiment ton style de composition même si tu essayes de changer de façon d'écrire. Vers la fin l'intensitié de la musique faiblie : c'est un choix, mais une fin en apothéose musicale du genre un bon crescendo avec un afflux d'instrument aurait été, je pense, une solution envisagable... Mais je respecte tout à fait ton choix. Voila en gros ce que je pense de ce "test" qui sonne vraiment très bien a mon avis !
Un 4 de ma part mais plutot 5 que 4 si tu voit ce que je veut dire !!
Très bon boulot.
A bientôt, Nicolas/Sonofkirk!
Et si tu a le temps jette une oreille à mes nouvelles compositions.

"Quite impressive, big improvement!"

date: August 20, 2007

My first reaction to this song was

"Thats really something else..."

I mean, really something else. Deflektor, I firmly believe this is your best work in terms of mastering, in terms of flow, structure, and overall presentation. The percussion beat was simple yes, but it was effective, and did not need to be changed. After all it is not the percussion they should be worrying about.

I did however note that the background strings are the same throughout the entire song. It is a subtle thing to pick up, but when you do, it does become tiring. So another thing to note is beware of over repetition. Repetition can be an incredibly powerful tool, and in fact is often found in all masters works, so don't take that statement to mean "Never let things repeat", but do not let them repeat over and over.

The flute melodic work is much more forward then your other songs, that wind chime trickle proved very useful. It is at an acceptable level.

I did however think that if you wanted to emulate a bit more restful, you could do a few things, like slow the song down a bit, perhaps use the celesta/glocken and hit some high notes corresponding to your chords.

Some more reverb maybe?

All in all, an excellent piece Deflektor, I am glad to have heard you progress this quickly so soon. Best of luck to your future productions!

Author's Response:

First of all, sorry for the response delay. I've been friggin' lazy lastly (probably due to the fact that i sleep only 4 hours per night for a week now).

So, yeah, as i said in my news post, i changed a bit my way of writing music.

As for the beat, it is simple on purpose, since this piece isn't a battle theme or something , so yeah.

The background strings are indeed the same throughout the entire song. Lack of inspiration...

The flute being an "extension" to the violin theme, i wanted to give it more importance, too.

"Some more reverb, maybe?" I assume you're talking about the background strings, if not, it's the leading instruments. But yeah, i bit more wouldn't hurt.

I knew that piece would be a big improvement. In fact, i think that i didn't make any improvement, it's not like i practiced to get a better level of music. I just changed my way of writing music, but it did make a difference.

Stay tuned, 'cause there's more to come!
