Nice
What inspired you to make this, and how did you make this?
I really like those sounds at 1:44-1:55, What are they?
Reviews for "Anastassia"
merlin responds:
It was actually inspired by a girl I met via the internet. This is the musical/instrumental version of the song I originally composed just on my acoustic guitar. I made it with the program Reason, and also recording myself actually playing the guitar. So it's all synthetic sounds minus the guitar. from 1:44-1:55 its just piano, bass, drums, and my playing guitar.
Thanks for your comment!
This is really nice to listen to
The melody is refreshing and I really enjoy listening to this song. Nice work ;)
merlin responds:
Thank you, Im glad you like it! I tried to make an abstract melody on this one, not like anything I've heard before, but I'm sure it's been done before, haha.

Sweeeet
Its really good. I like it. How did you do the guitar by the way? Is it recorded? Or computer generator. Either way, sweet work. I have been testing out effects like those lately, but nothing decent yet.
merlin responds:
This song was created on guitar first. That's me playing... poorly might I add. The chords are Em, C, G(sort of just a power chord, 3rd fret e string, all others open, mute the high E string), D, and Am. And there's a few sort of variation chords that are A string 5th fret, D string 4th fret, mute both E strings. And an octave switch Em chord as well. Thanks for the review, I hope this helps!

very nice
This is a very well-made song. i like the original sounds, melody, and overall feel the music sends.
the digital part that starts at 1:05 didn't sit right with me, at first. i think that it was the water drop sound that bothered me, but as it went on, it grew on me.
well done.
5/5
9/10
merlin responds:
Thanks! The synth was added into this song as a filler, really... The final version of this song... if I ever get around to it... Has a much cooler acoustic guitar part, and vocals. And is like a 6 minute song. Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked it.

why is this space here? no one reads the summary..
wow, front page huh? nicely done, really. Youre really becoming quite the star here on newgrounds :p
anyhoo, for the song, great! i like the guitarsolo/chord progression at 1.54. there isnt really anthing wrong with this song, its the best its composer allowed it to be!
You'd do well in the classical genre, ever considered scoring a symphonie?
well, cya around
merlin responds:
Thanks so much for going out of your way to review this! I was ecstatic to see this on the front page, especially for a song from '08. I've had 3 songs on the front page of NG or the AP in the last two weeks. It's really more than I could ask for.
A symphony is definitely something I could consider. In almost all of my songs, I have a completely symphonic part, because I always love the sound of strings.
Thank you so much, again!
