Reviews for "Instrumental Piece 1"

Nice!

It was very interesting to listen to this piece, I enjoyed the different parts of it and the way the song was in a constant evolution.

The first part with the acoustic guitar reminded me of the music from those games I used to play when I was younger in which you have to build a city during the Antiquity and stuff, like Civilization as Tadashiini said. I really like it, it would really sound perfect for one of those game. By the way, I assume you didn't play the guitar and you programmed it? If it's the case, it sounds absolutely beautiful and realistic, and I must say the other instruments you used sounded brilliant.

Then comes another part at 1:43. This one sounded epic! The chord progression was pretty simple but the way you arranged it with the low octave played by the piano, the strings and the piano melody made it sound just epic. Though I would have enjoyed a bit more rhythm on it, you know to make it sound more lively.

Another part at 2:17 starts, I think it was my favourite. Loved that bluesy lick played by the flute, I think. I must say I didn't expect that coming but it created a nice element of surprise. And the guitar behind it was rocking, acoustic guitar + rock-ish riff = win. The repeat myself, this part deserved more percussion too but maybe that's my metal guy influences that want that :).

Overall I enjoyed this one very much. Though there were a few thing that I would have expected such as more present drums (percussion) but that's a matter of taste so I won't penalize you for that. Great job on this, keep going :). And check my songs if you have some time ;)

Gave it a 5.

First off, thanks for the awesome review. These are few and far between nowadays it seems. So it is always appreciated when someone gives a lengthy and well thought out reaction to something I've written.

As for the song itself, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. As you mentioned the piece really begins to gain energy at the 1:43 mark, and doesn't really look back after the 2:17 mark. I really REALLY liked that final section with the flute so I decided it would be perfect to just add one last bridge and then let it repeat itself with a fadeout. It just seemed the most appropriate way to end the song.

Once again I'm glad you enjoyed the tune, and thanks for the wonderful review. :-)

Epic

This is a song i would listen to over and over again, and much like the rest of your work, i find it interesting to show to friends. The sounds all fit together in an excellent melody, and the music is smooth and simple, while still remaining interesting enough. Congrats on an epic piece once again.

You should totally write me a theme song. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Gravey responds:

Well I am quite swamped with work at the moment, so a theme song for you will have to wait I think. :-P

But I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

Thanks for the review.

Has a cool ethnic feel.

Congrats on top five for sure. I really can't think of anything to critique on this because its a pretty beautiful song. Gets the imagination flowing, could be used for many different types of movies, or perhaps games. Lovely use of piano. This ones going on my fav's =)

Awesome

This song would make for great background music in a fantasy game. Haha, it's way better than anything I could make on my music maker(or maybe that's because I have the free trial and dont have the full version lol).

I like how you combined the guitar, strings, drums, and chimes all together. It made it sound nice. Eighty-five thumbs up!

You got respected. 5/5

Gravey responds:

I like the idea of this being the background music for a fantasy game. I never really thought of it as being such, but it would be nice to see it used in a game without a doubt. :-)

Thank you.
