Reviews for Defcon Zero [Orch] -MrMaestro-

[Dj-Immune]

Awesome

Right when the melody came in, I new it was one of the best remixes of one of Paragon's mixes yet. Although I 'hope' this is a demo, because there are some flaws. Like their should be some heart pounding drums in there, it should be longer.... Thats about it.

I wasn't liking it all too much until the actual melody came in, a good way to get people entertained before that is some pretty good drums. You can go the direction of Rob D. and add some distorted drums (but not loud) or you can go over to Edgen andget those kind of drums. Either one would work.

Other then all of this stuff I am rambling on about, this is a definite good remix of Defcon Zero, one of the best.

DavidOrr responds:

This isn't classical, really.

I've written dozens of "real" classical pieces, but I doubt many people on newgrounds would find much of a liking to them. They follow all those traditional forms like sonata, Rondo... ect. But maybe I will put my first symphony up here at some point.

Thanks for the review!

Well-done!

Very nice! I like the retrofitting you did to shape the Defcon Zero melody into a totally different fabric. The opening material naturally leads to the Defcon Zero melody---very well done. The piano in the background keeps the ticking. It's interesting that you used the V7/vi (dominant of the related minor) harmony on the minor seventh jump in the melody rather than the original III harmony (located at 0:55-0:57 and 1:15-1:18); however, be careful when you introduce the raised seventh on the flute (at 1:15-1:18): a move from the flat seventh into the raised seventh is noticeably awkward. The piece is of very high quality overall.

Thanks for the piece!

P.S. Do show us your classical collection of sonatas and rondos. A sizeable number of Newgrounders are familiar with and interested in the exposition-development-recapitulation form that is the sonata-allegro. ;)

DavidOrr responds:

Eventually I may put up some recordings of a chamber group I'm putting together playing my songs. They're really good musicians, so it should sound pretty good if I can get a hold of some nice mics!

Very nice!

This reminds me a great deal of some of the music from Final Fantasy 6 (in my opinion, the best game of the franchise, musically). Very well done.

Simply Brilliant

This is awesome, the Defcon Zero seen in a whole new way, fantasy style. It doesn't really sound much like the original, but i like it. 4/5 =)
