Reviews for +Astronaut's Waltz+

[Suspended-3rd-Chord]

Astronomical

You've improved quite a lot in the aspect of mixing as well composition I see :D Very well structured track!

I like the deep reverb model to reflect space, as well as the ping pong delay effects, very nice! Never a dull moment in this song, very great piano playing and flowing melodies, when you think its about to end you pick up the song again. Sweet spots: cool chord at 1:26, cool sixteenths arpeggio at 2:07ish (I lost the spot lol). Overall nice work, mostly gloomy happiness is the vibe I picked up from this, with a touch of mystery to add to the spacey dreaminess theme.

Good job WB!

Thanks, S3C. I'm really glad you like this. The part where it sounded like it was going to end, well, that's where I planned on ending it. XD But then it didn't sound right.
I'm hoping the improvements in this song will carry over into future songs. I'm working on a few things at the moment, but they haven't fallen into place yet.
Thanks for the encouraging review!

hey buddy

WB, i am very sorry about my recent absence. Stuff has been going on and this totally slipped my mind. I probably wont be back on anytime soon either, which I also apologize for in advance.

But dang bro, sounds like I've been missing some good stuff, cause this is beautiful. It seems like you never took my advice on gettin into the multiple instrument things... probably for the best cause this is a really lovely song.

My only comment is that its not especially lonely, its kinda upbeat, but it that will not detract from your score. Seriously, this is the best song I have ever heard from you, but im comparing that to stuff from like 3 months ago. Glad to see you still gettin better and better.

I think now to my first thoughts when I listened to your early stuff and in comparing it to this...well im glad ive seen a lot of the steps in between becuase i wouldnt believe such a transition was possible in so short a time.

well congratulations, 5, 10, dl. Looks like ill b on more to listen in a bit more often. ah such a wonderful song...

Hey, don't stress about it. I love your reviews, and I appreciate each and every one of them. You don't have to appologise for taking a break from reviewing my music, I don't want you to feel like you let me down when you don't review. Anyway, I am really glad that you like this song, and I think it's great that you're supporting me as much as you are, through this growth.
I'm working on a new song at the moment that's going to be really huge, part classical, part electronica, and it should turn out great, I think.
Great to see your reviews!
Thanks, man. You're awesome.

Great

Another great song from the LovePlimp :P, but yeah this is a really really nice hear such a well put together piece. Just seems to be so layered and even though there is only piano, you couln't tell if there wasn't a full band. The outro was a lovely touch aswell. Great job

There's a certain something that solo instruments can capture that an orchestra or band could never capture, I'll probably do a lot of solo/small ensemble stuff in the future.
Thanks for the review. <3

Spaced out!

What a nice piece - captured the essence of being alone in the depths of space, with only a few crewmates to talk to and possibly the few dozen people down in mission control, who really don't want to spend their time talking about how your favourite sporting team is getting on, for example.

This piece seems to really focus upon the trials and the pleasure of the space walk itself, where you are totally free, when it really comes down to it - so small is the force of gravity.

Good use of piano in the symbolism and the results are quite tranquil and breathtaking!

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks, man! I kind of like the idea of being suspended in the vacuum of space, with the nearest civilisation millions of kilometers away, I think there's a haunting beauty in that.
Cheers.

Good

It has a very good tune to it but I seem to think that it takes a while to build up to a whole lot of anything right at the start. After a bit it seems to start building into a much better tune which is very good to hear and everything, though it does seem to sound a little repetertive in parts of this.

It does sound to be played very well, though I can't really hear a link to an astronaut in this, lol, so maybe some more spacy background to it. Unless it was suppost to be a little empty in that way, but otherwise it does seem to sound very good, nice calm tune to it so good job here.

5/5

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks. Yeah, the astronaut was represented by the emptiness. I was originally going to try and get some sort of space transmission recording, but I scrapped that. The repetitiveness was all part of me trying to get the empty space feeling through, but a bit more variation probably would have been alright.
Thanks for your review.
