Reviews for [MvS}(2)Frozen Alone

Masterful

The audio portal is so troublesome. I'd love to be more critical of the things I listen to, but it always seems that I run into too much quality... anywho, the last time I reviewed one of your works was February of last year -- I figure it's time to get back on the Maestro (and LadyArsenic) bandwagon.

A duel huh? Well, I do hate to say this, but I think you lost Maestro... Mandi's felt more natural. No disrespect or anything, but the haunting environmental effect was just devastatingly effective in the beginning.

I figure that although artists like to read compliments all the time, we reviewers should be critical too, so a few things of note -- these are both minor comments and are both addressed at Maestro:

- I felt that the high strings (probably intended to increase the drama in the piece) at around 2:07 were a bit... shrill. That might've been the intention, but I think it also might've been my speakers -- I adjusted them and it seemed to feel much more natural.

- Though I love the bassoon, I don't think it worked as well in the piece as the oboe did in the opening. That just might be out of my personal preference though.

As for compliments -- well, you guys know that you're great by now. I don't need to inflate your ego. :D

Cheers, and good luck!

Very moving...

Great song...It really catches the loneliness within anyone that hears it :'(

[kioyuske]

alone in ice wins to me...

i would say that alone in ice wins. it really focused on the whole lonliness bit,which i assume is the theme here. but mandi's piece was excellent as well,but you cant beat the sadness and lonliness, but i loved the sadness and environmentalness (is that even a word!?!) of your song too mandi! (Yay!)

5/5 and 10/10 for the both of ya!
this is kioyuske saying
"whether you are happy and free, or sad and lonely....never let the light leave your eyes..."

MaestroRage responds:

thank you Kioyuske for your vote! It seems Mandi has taken the trophy for this duel, well earned too. We will have more duels soon, we hope we can count on your help deciding who won when we do! Thanks again for your review!

A Distant Dream...

is the winner of this round; in my eyes atleast. The "wind" sound was a perfect touch and really helps the listener to imagine the scene in his or her mind. It helped me atleast. You really managed to utilize your array of instruments perfectly to make it sound chilly and cold Mandi =)

Maestro; Your part really managed to picture the loneliness of the spirit for the listener, and if you were to mix your sad tune with Mandi's environmental one, you would end up with a mastepiece.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you for your vote Duggins! And especially for the reasoning behind it. I agree with what you said, Mandi has a fantastic way of using few instruments in this intricate fashion.

Thanks again for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

MaestroRage responds:

Dear Geacu,
Hello. My name is Mandi (also called LadyArsenic) and MaestroRage and I have been a team for nearly 5 years now. We've been sharing this account for about 1 year. So I've been working with him for a LONG time! I wrote half of this song. Remember me next time, and remember to read the descriptions. So remember Mandi next time! Thanks for listening.

With love,
Mandi <3
