My first review
Hello, Bosa!
I'm also intrested in making classical musics like that one, but I'm new on NG, maybe I'll upload some musics of my own ones.
The music sounds fantastic, remind me for mementos about my childhood. The music sounds like when a young mastermind thinking. Good job. And keep it up!
10/10, of course.
Percussion-rific
There is a lot to like in this highly stylized piece. While nothing is ever perfect, the overall feel is very exotic. As a bell ringer, I have an appreciation for the lesser known forms of percussion.
Ack, I keep listening to this song, and while there are things I want to critique, there is this strange resonance be between the bells and the xylophone-ish sound thats driving me nuts. While I'm not fond of the harsher sound of non-bell high notes they are at the core the source of the exotic nature of the piece.
About the only thing I would change is possibly the mixing of the finale. The overall volume of the movement doesn't match with the rest of the song. There are too many competing interments, with bells, harps, pianos and strings all going full blast at the same time. I would suggest moving some of the elements to a more supporting role, and balance out the remaining. I personally find the ending just fine. There is nothing wrong with a softening strings. I personally would have made a more perfunctory drawn out final note in the last repeat, in place of letting it fall off, but thats a more personal choice.
I really enjoyed this piece and picking it a part in my head. Its been a long time since I've had a sound that give me a headache when trying to separate the notes. I'm looking forward to listening to some of your other work.
Yep, brilliant.
I haven't been keeping up with the Audio Portal lately, so it's been a while since I've heard any of your pieces. The last time I remember listening to some, they were very heavy and dramatic, so this seems to be quite a stylistic change. Congratulations, because it was pulled off brilliantly. This composition is very understated, peaceful and just plain lovely.
There are only two very small things that I personally didn't like - one was a something-like-30-second section in the middle (somewhere around the two-minute mark) which was a bit too repetitive for my taste. Another is the ending, which I think faded away too abruptly. If the fade was 3-4 times longer, I think that might've worked better... (yes, it's funny that MJTTOMB is saying the opposite... but I wouldn't mind an actual ending either. I just think that if there's going to be a fade, it shouldn't be such an abrupt one)
