Reviews for (Gillenium) Strange Petals

[Farplane]

As the name says..... strange

Now I almost never review songs nowadays but this one I feel that I must....
We all know we get certain feelings when listening to songs but this one I just can't explain... it's like listening to it makes me think of what this world has and is becoming, so I want to stop it, yet there's something about it that makes me just keep listening to it. The main thing that started making me feel this way was getting the clockwork orange trophy in the factory level on Mindscape... something just triggered in my mind right then.
I know this all seems weird, I just can't explain what I feel when I listen to this, it's like a relieving despair... very strange.
But anyways, thanks for making this, it sounds great!

Gillenium responds:

Thanks for reviewing it :D

Sometimes, I just have a lot of meaning I want to put into a song, and I'm glad you absorbed probably the whole lot of it. My songs are usually based on how I feel after watching a movie, or playing a game, or a powerful experience. In the case of Why Birds Sleep Well, the whole series was based on my trip to Canaan Valley. Strange Petals is based on how I felt after watching the movie Adaptation. If you watch the movie, you can probably see a big connection (including the title of the song!)

factory

It sounds like it can be used in industrial-factory planet-ish flash.

Gillenium responds:

Good call. It was actually used in the factory level of the game Mindscape. :) Thanks for the review.

Nice!

This sounds so sweet. =) Harmony to the top. You're a skilled artist.
Got no critique to deliver, sorry. Hehe.

Take care!

All tens

I didn't think it would change, but it did, and it got WAY better. Love your music, and are u making a CD or something?

Gillenium responds:

I like deceptive intros. I actually made a CD last year. It's been selling pretty well. If you're interested, just google "Gillenium" and "cdbaby" and you'll find it. It's on iTunes, too. Thanks for the review!

brilliant

in this track i feel a strong vibe lol, really nicely done. i am trying to work my way into ambience and trance. The programs i'm trying to learn are Sony acid 6.0 adobe audition Reason 3.0 and FL XXL edition 6. yeah but i have a little trouble coming up with the right beats, maybe you can im me and help me on some stuff?

Gillenium responds:

Well, for ambience, you don't necessarily need strong precussion. I like ambience because it is melody-driven and atmosphere-driven. I could help you with FL 6, since I used it for about 6 years. I used Reason for about 6 minutes, lol. I have Sony Acid laying around here somewhere, but I haven't had the urge to use it again. Just I/M me your questions. By the way, I like your name.
