Reviews for "Giga La Nora"

Great start

The kind of music you are composing, well it takes actual musical knowledge. Each part is very complex, and it all fits together nicely, great job on this! Now, it can be filled out, add more instruments, more length, and more verses. Good job so far, 8/10 5/5 (I hate voting down)

sarias responds:

unfortunately it had to be this length we only had 30 measures to do this. I have actually considered lengthening a lot of my pieces for this class though. thanks for the review though i'm glad you liked it

doesnt sound piratey

I think if you swapped the R (i believe its the viola) for a soft piano or something its accent would be heard a bit clearer, because sometimes its difficult to hear whats going on exactly, and unless you specifically meant it to be as it is i recognice a bit of uncertainty around 00:35.

Also, i cant agree with 00:25's transition.
(all about the viola still)

All in all i enjoyed this alot more than i show with this review, so ill 5 you for your talent and ill look trough a bit more of your work.

Oh almost forgot to say what i think it sounds like..

Im typing this as im listening now, i see a bit of nocturne, perhaps old streetlamps, its a bit urban and plebian. :)

Greets.

sarias responds:

unfortunately if you read the description those were the instruments I had to choose. Also remember this is midi, and isn't an accurate representation of the music, but thanks for your review none the less. :)

Great loop.

What a lovely little forest-based loop this is. I like the way that this piece seems to give the impression of country life, particularly in some forest-based backwater, where life only moves at a crawl and the locals all know one another by name and have done for years.

I think that you've got a good combination of instruments here and while some of the backing instruments are a little on the quiet side, this makes little overall difference to the track itself.

I'd have perhaps considered having some other instruments here that would occur in the same setting, for example, a lute, or other stringed instrument, that would add so much veriation to the piece. It's a great loop, so perhaps you need to consider adding slightly more to the track in length, perhaps up to a minute, or so.

sarias responds:

arn't game loops typically 30-90 seconds they can be longer but this is usually what I see :) I'm planning on doing a longer version of it same instruments though I like the combination.

Hmmm

Well it was a nice little piece to say the least.

What need to be fixed up:

The instrument sounds need to be tweaked both in the software sounds being used, and in the volumes of the individual instruments. Because it was hard to hear some of the parts.

It feels a lot longer than the :45 seconds it is, probably because of the tempo of the song.

I do realize that good sound software is difficult to find, but do a little bit of searching and you'll find something.

Anyways, I would love to hear a more expanded version of this song, even though I wouldn't be about to use it in something, since i am not a flash artist.

Anyways, not to bad. =3

sarias responds:

I've considered expanding on this, it has room to grow, it was only aloud to be up to 30 measures which is why its the tempo it is. also thats midi for you, kinda sucks. thanks for the review :)

Nice melody

Well, it's a bit quiet and midi sounds always pretty bad. But it's a nice song anyway. The melody is nice (but doesn't sound very piratey at all :P ).

I would like to hear this in a better, non-midi version, with some more instruments. Well, or louder instruments. I can faintly hear some instruments in the background, but as the song is so quiet it's hard to make them out.

sarias responds:

I got an A on it :) (just found out today) she mentioned that she would love to see me now expand it, and have it performed at the next concert, so it will happen sometime in the next few months.
