My attempt at making a song that includes the stylization of techno and classical. Named after one of my best friends!

So look at it this way. Classical vs Techno. it could use some polishing... I only had enough time for one take! DX

Inaccurate Description

While i love your piano playing, your title is inaccurate. There is really nothing in the piece that would be considered mainstream techno. At most some of the piece could have techno influences and that's pushing it. That being said the piece as a whole sounded really good. You're a very talented pianist! If you want to make your piece true to your description make sure you have clear alternations between techno and classical. Here are some good examples. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/269767 and http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/46567

Also, try adding a back beat. I think it would really tie the whole piece together.

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Bumping bass line.
1-3-6-7 progression.
high BPM.
Octave and five jumps with the bass.

it screams techno to me... but I guess it's just how I interpreted it.

Thanks for the review!!!

Creativity Exposed

I love alternative music. This is an awesome song. If I didn't know any better I would say this was a midi. Let me clarify, I don't mean you stole it, I mean it sounds very much like it was done in a piano roll editor. In my opinion it's one of the hardest things to do in a DAW. Makeing the piano sound real if you don't use a midi keyboard. IF you used one or not, this was my only critic.

Overall this is a great listen, and 100% worthy of my iPod. Also, for everyone who doesn't like the intro; at 1:00 it sounds very Linkon Park. GameBoyFireworks does a great job at using this for the bridge of the song, at least listen to that part even if you don't like the whole song.

It's funny when I read the description I thought were going to use electronics as well. But the use of just piano as techno is amazing, very well executed ;)

5/5 10/10

I hope you get front page,

This was actually recorded in a live studio on a grand piano! :D

I'm glad that you liked it!! Thanks for the long review. gotta love those. :))

Most Defintally must be a Humble guy

The guy this song is named after must be one classy guy with a screwed up mind.
The ending came out awesome so did the intro.

Hell yeah! He's pretty cool!
