Hey there! This is one of my first songs that I used instruments I MADE...for the first time. The first time I ever made instruments. This song is also pretty different from my usual style.

I can and will still edit this song depending on what I see in the reviews! So hurry and review before I forget.

Nice!

You made the instruments? Cool. The song sounds happy for some reason, which is good.

sweet thanks man.

Major kudos for making your own instruments! If you don't mind the asking, are there any specifically that you made, or did you just create all of them? ;D Anyway, onto the review:

0:06-Nice divebomb into the beat, really smooth and linked the short intro and first section well.
0:14-The melody that comes in here works with itself...but seems to clash lightly with the melody that was at the start; sounds like they're following fractionally different chord patterns.
0:35-Cool transition with the melody fading out, though it did mean it sounded a little sparse for a few seconds until it came back in; an incidental synth in that gap would have helped rectify the problem quite easily.
0:55-Addition of synth works well, nice change in drum beat for a bit...Think in generall the drums could have been varied a little more because the beat theretofor doesn't really vary all that perceptibly, and drums are a nice way to keep variation high, because the feel of a synth can be changed completely by the beat it's being supported by.
1:38-Really nice bassy boom, wish there were more of them about! Adds a nice deal of depth and atmosphere.
1:52-Well done break, though it might have gone a little too quickly back into the main theme, I think that'd have been a really cool place for a longer buildup. Or even a MASSIVE buildup, because when techno buildups are good, they tend to be utterly immense.
2:31-Nice change to the drum beat/synths. Gives it a slower feel, but the drum gives a heavy and almost anthemic feel. The beat changes in the later half of the track are definitely a good touch, and something that perhaps could have been taken advantage of more in the former half.
3:12-Nice set of melodies and synths, though by here the main melody starts dragging a little for me just because it's quite short and gets repeated a lot.
3:40-Odd note to finish on.

Generally, there's a nice set of transitions, but I think you don't stray away from the main melody enough, leading it to drag by the last minute or so. you had a nice section change at 2:31 and at 1:52, if they were developed more or brought in a little earlier in the track and cut of the melody line more, it would have definitely helped the variation of the track. The sounds of the synths, however, sound pretty brilliant, would never have been able to tell you made any yourself.

Herdunculus responds:

Thank so much for compliment about the synths. I didn't make ALL of them, but I made the lead synth, and the bass and kick and stuff like that. Variety and change of pace is still sort of a challenge for me. Thanks for the review.

Hmmm

-After listening to this several times it seemed to be just a rather awkward song. It has a high pitched melody with plenty of bass. Sounds great on paper and it would be great with just that but I was rather confused why you used a dark deep sounding synth with it. Personally I would rather like deep undertones instead. Less abrasive sounding and can mesh really well.

Herdunculus responds:

I can see what you mean. I will take this advice with me on my next song. Hopefully it will sound better to you =D

Not bad...

A lil' stupid start and that flute if it is a flute its stupid.

Herdunculus responds:

which one sounds like a flute? I don't know what you are talking about lol. I guess the start need some working on then. Thanks.
