Reviews for "Contemporary"

A very interesting progression. Very uplifting and joyful melodies. I love this!

The only critique I can bring to the table is that the snare is a Bit harsh on the ear and that I'd EQ some of the treble out of it. Otherwise fantastic!

I think the beginning with the piano is a bit too long and unfocused. I would prefer a more clean sounding piano, as well, but I guess that's just personal.

When the drums start, things get interesting. I really like the drums you've used. I loved the wobble with the melodic synth in the background. Really unique and atmospheric.

The beginning felt slow, but the rest was interesting enough to make up for that. Good job.

A lot happens in this song. The piano at the beginning sounded very dissonant. I wasn't sure what to think of it. After around 1:33 it started to become really interesting though. Very unusual song. I like the rhythm and originality.

Hmm. Didn't really feel the song at some points. Some parts sounded a bit random and I kinda got bored of the track before it hit 4 min. The drop was amazing though which pretty much saved the track for me. Might also have something with that I really don't enjoy this kind of dubstep in general.
Wasn't really that pleasing to my ears.

Speaking from a technical standpoint though, this is pretty good. The structure is really good and the transistions are flawless. People who are into this style will probably love this.
3.5 stars.

It's a very interesting composition, with plenty of ideas that work together almost seamlessly. Structure-wise it welcomes a wealth of changes and transitions that are quite well executed and the track flows pretty nicely, overall.

The mastering needs a bit more of work, in my opinion. I think that the snare sound doesn't pack much "punch" and some EQ to the bass/mid frequencies could help improving the oomph the drums should have, especially if we're talking dubstep, a notoriously loud style of electronic music.

While the dynamics feel sort of tight and crisp, I think the orchestra should feel a little less trebly and more dense on the mid frequencies -- just enough to allow some little reverb to take place and let them feel more spacey and present. The lo-fi piano is a welcomed introduction, and it is in fact, quite original in terms of sound, not the composition itself.

It's a nice track overall, and I give you props for experimenting with different sound and atmospheres and ultimately for your effort to keep things interesting and enjoyable.
