For something unfinished, this is perfect
For something unfinished, this is perfect, but you know what, this is just TOO sad.... for me, I don't really see any hope in this, but thats just me.
It sounds like my life, lol. This song does, however prove that you are skillful in what you do with music. The song moves me.
To tell you the truth, I find it to be mostly a sad song as well...
I wrote this one by improvisation, which means I just started playing one day, thought it was worth sharing, and punched it into the computer (I don't have an electric piano). Because this is my usual process, my music almost always reflects my emotions better than I can explain them. This is an example of that - I was going through some tough times, just coming to terms with things. I think it really shows through.
But here's the catch: if you listen closely, there is a spark of hope in amongst everything else here. You can find it in just a single note in the bassline that occurs just once. There's a sense of a resolution on the horizon in that note. I think that life is like that. It's a matter of finding that one note, that one thing we can always hold on to.
Sorry if I went on a bit there. I'm glad you enjoy the piece, and thanks for the review.
Woah...
That could quite easily set the scene on location or a flash game, you have major talent in moods. just one thing...
WARNING: MAY CAUSE DEPRESSION...
lolz, this is cool.
May cause depression... lol. I guess it's somewhat ambiguous as to whether that should be a good thing... o _o
Thanks for the review, DaBomber... I hope I haven't made you emo... lol.
Great!
When I listen to this I see some kind of sad ending in something, a book or a movie, a game or in life, this is certainly one of the best small loops I've heard, and for 1:17 it is probably a long loop, but it works.
4/5

Thanks for the comments, Gallex. This was one of my first pieces, so although I'm not entirely proud of it anymore, I still really appreciate praise for it. So thank you.
Apologies for not responding sooner. My computer had some problems and I couldn't log in to NG for 2 weeks.
Quite soft, if a little too soft
This was quite a moving piece, but its main fault was that I could honestly barely hear it. Yes, I can turn up the volume but it's a bit of an inconvience. What was the coolest about this was that it consistently kept a very meaningful melody to it. It could have used a bit more variety, but it works well with what it is. I can understand why this would be the extended and simplified version of something. It seems like it was made entirely on piano.
The title itself is very graceful and certainly prepares something nice for the listener. It's hard to tell when this begins or ends so you can really listen to it any time in the song. While not midnight now, it makes me aware of how I am typing this review at night. Speaking of memories, it does remind me of when I used to play the piano. This would probably be better as part of something bigger.
The low volume is actually just an export issue I encountered back when I was using Reason 2.0. It seemed that it wanted to automatically balance the master volume for every export, and brought everything to about this volume. I'd re-export it from Reason 4 now, but NG won't let me edit this song anymore. Too many views, or downloads, or something.
But anyways, thanks for the review, Ericho!
Too low sounding
~~REVIEW~~
Now i did like the soft feel of this but like another one i think this was just too low sounding, now if thats the intent i understand but i think you should have mixed up the volume sounds, so that it comes and goes or even have build up in it, But regardless of all that this was still a nice and nifty piece you made, just too low but like i said could mix things up, but anyways untill next time good luck.
~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
About low sounding i think you should have mixed up the volume sounds, so that it comes and goes or even have build up in it,
~X~
In terms of volume, it's too low because of an export problem I had back when I was using Reason 2.0. I've since upgraded, and no longer have this issue.
In terms of the flow, I agree. It could use a little more diversity. I'm not thinking I'll go back and mess with this one any more, though - this was written years ago. I might still use the theme somewhere in a different piece somewhere down the road, but we'll see.
In any case, I appreciate your constructive criticism, so thank you!
