This is going to be one of the few songs I'm actually going to favourite. Not because it's perfect, but because the ideas are pure genius. The sounding of the piano could have been better. Personally I would have used stereo separation to open it up a bit, but basically my problem with is is that it sounds a bit too stale.
Other than that I think your song is amazing. You are one of the people I've seen on here, including myself, that are able to utilise tempo modulation in a good way :D.

The ending is a bit weak, and could have been better planned, but overall it's a great song that deserves 5 stars.

TsetsukenMusic responds:

You know what, that's actually not too bad of an idea to use a little stereo separation to make it feel more dynamic, i'll play with it and see if I can make it work a little better.
I had a review the other day saying that there seems like there is something missing, something that is "key" to making this from stale to becoming a really beautiful piece. I'm still working on that.

I love playing with the tempo! it's actually something still very new to my style and I think it adds an amazing dynamic having the modulation, so that's HUGE to me that you view it that way :D. I will say this, that your review has been one of the best ones that I have received on any of my songs!

I've been unsure what to put for the ending, it does kind of just "die" at the end and I agree. Something that's being added to the list of stuff to play with :P. It might take a bit to find something that can be somewhat "frisson inducing" that fits the end and I feel like this is something that I need to work on overall (throughout all my songs). It's hard to see (at least for me) parts that truly need to be worked on until someone points it out and that's why I love posting here :).

I extremely appreciate your review and thank you!! :3

it's a pretty good song! that melody is really catchy!, but I find that it does not stick well to a video play. It's too ... I think there have too much sound. By cons I can see that I love the title, it is beautiful :)

TsetsukenMusic responds:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you! I can see what you mean by the video play, I think I have a certain "effect" that's messing up lower end of the song, could be the cause of that? I'll look into it.
Thank you!!!

Very nice chill out ambient sound, love the piano riff and the synth kinda going all over the place lol kind of sounds like trance. The bass boom was great when it really kick in. Everything sounds really well mixed and leveled, youre clap sounds maybe just a tad to high? No big deal there but it all just sounds so good. Excellent work man you are quite the mixmaster lol keep it up!

The synth actually wasn't too hard to make, it was the piano riff that was one of the greatest challenges for this song so I'm really glad you like it! The clap is definitely something that I need to make a little "smoother" I agree. Just a lot of practice overtime ;)

R4R Buddies!

Really dug the vibe in this song! That spacey room reverb in the beginning is actually something I've tried to replicate a few times but haven't found out how to do, usually out of lack of effort lol. The whole vibe in this song reminds me of some of my earlier work. I actually really enjoyed the build up until about 1:30 where it kind of plateaued in my opinion. If i were you i would of done away with the arp earlier or possibly layer it or layer the piano, I think that would of improved the mix a little bit. Another thing is that both the kick and bass didn't seem very bassy or powerful, something that I suggest you take a second look at.

I'm a huge fan of the slowed down part you have at around 2:20. I wish you would of kept the song going with that by adding a more down-tempo beat to it instead of using the same drums. I use the half time drum technique to make a lot of my sections seem slower, you should try looking into it!

Overall I think you have some excellent elements in your music and I do see a lot of potential, just try to work a bit more on your structure while Ideally keeping a good amount of variety in your songs to help progress it better. Keep it up man! :)

TsetsukenMusic responds:

There's actually a few things happening in the beginning to make it have the spacey reverb, PM me if you want to hear more about that and I'll be glad to tell you how I was able to make that sound - or at least what I used for it, FL Studio as my DAW so depending on that. I understand what you saying with maybe rearranging or add a layer to that part. I think tbh the bass problem might actually be an effect I have over it and didn't catch it but I see what you mean, easy fix.

You have a very good point, I love listening to down-tempo and can see more potential to go that direction. That's actually a very good idea, what I might do is keep this one as is, and do a v2 in another upload for a change like that - at least the way I am envisioning. I'll look into that thank you!

That was honestly the best review I've had of any of my songs, very helpful and a lot of detail, even providing a possible tool I might end up using in the future, thank you!

The piano in this is really well done! Coupled with a lot of good transitioning - the only thing I would say is the "clap" sounds a little loud, but that may just be me. Also, this is very well put together, I love the subtle tempo changes throughout the song didn't catch it until the ending!

You earned yourself a fan!

TsetsukenMusic responds:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually worked pretty long and hard on this one, maybe one of my more complicated piano riffs I've done. As time goes I'm getting transitioning down but there's always room for improvement, thank you! I see what you mean about the clap being a little louder, I'll play with it and see if I can't make it fit a little nicer. This is actually the first song I've done to change tempo during a song, most of mine stay one tempo the whole song - this one I finally figured out how to make those changes and I loved playing around with it!

I just wanted to say thank you, I have noticed you reviewed quite a few of my submissions and they have been all helpful, I'm glad to have you as a fan :)
