Reviews for "==(Melting Snow)=="
Great work
It was so awesome l love it good work
sweetness, goodness, SBBness
are you secretly Stewart Copeland? You just have a similar style to some of the stuff I've heard from him..his video game work, that is.
anyways great track man (how many times do I need to tell you this) , very visual as always. I do see some melting snow indeed in here, its like your last tracks are taking a journey through a RPG game. This time around, I can see a ground of dirt and grass on top of a mountain, just coming out a snowy cave and looking at the white scenery behind me. A large, welcoming city in the hills is very close ahead, which goes great with the upbeat style. So this one kinda reminds me of a mix between winter and spring, like your title implies.
Love the levels of reverb. Those keys you start with are a nice, catchy attention getter, that deep pad in the background is marvelous and has an interesting texture. I also love that booming, echoing sub in the background with a little percussive "wah" thing to compliment it in the verse- some nice energy before leading into the chorus section. Great synth too with some very effective sliding bits. a great breakdown around 3:00, very nice ambience, with the gentle tibetan bells/electric piano and then you did a great job of working that synth in, and transitioning right back into the main beef. the fading out works especially well with that lovely pad putting a nice strawberry glaze over this track. outstanding composition, I thought for it being a 5:00 minute track it might not hurt if you used one more melody, or even messed with the main key riff by harmonizing it or doubling the riff in two octaves during the last chorus phrase. i've already listened to this track tho several times and still thoroughly enjoy it, so repetition can indeed be a good element.
kickass drums too- simple main beats that have some nice variations thrown in for good measures to keep the flow interesting. Nice hi hat rhythms to open it, decent tom fills, and shaker and tambourine percussion to go along with the scenery for good measure. Good job mixing it too, with the deep reverb and spacing each instrument out. I like how the shaker pans from ear to ear and has a good range of dynamics. kick sounds especially good when thrown in reverb, and its bass frequencies dont make the track muddy, which is I problem I usually face when reverbing my kicks. in fact the only minor complaint I have is regarding the drums. I truly believe that the snare should be louder and have more of an attack, and potentially have even more reverb than the rest of the kit, or instead just brought to the front and have less reverb. Toms could be a bit more apparent IMO too, and possibly have more mid section, to the hear the melodicalness part of them, you know what I mean?
lulz i didnt mean to make this review so long XD, anyway, great track, its the first one I've favorited by you since Celestial Life Swamp, and that was back in November right? well, seriously well done once again, look forward to hearing your next track as always :D
Maybe you can make a flash based on your work.
I mean..you live in Norway right? That must mean your surrounded by nature or maybe nature is close by.
Isn't there lots of mountains n trees and nature?
This flash would accompany well with some actual movie clips of nature like snow melting or snow cap hills overlooking the bottom of the world.
Making music along with images is a priceless endeavor for your spirit and for the whole world to see your wonderful country.
It gave me chills
The first part with the water trickling gave me chills and brought with it an image of melting icicle dripping into a cool mountain stream as bits of glaciers and ice drifted down into a turbulent river. The river banks were lined in snow and glistened under the northern lights. Slowly the sun rose, the first beams reaching out and dancing upon the snow crystals. As the song progressed the sun's warmth wrapped around me, and I could feel Spring emerging.
