Wow, you really want me to be sad, don't you.. Just kidding. This is magnificent and also reminds me of the past, not so much the Where are you Christmas but just the memories long gone. So I must make new ones and this reminds me to do that. Thank you for your talent.
Reviews for "A Lonely Christmas"

Haha, sorry for that. I have a thing for sad music, you know... Christmas can be a bit of a double edged sword at times, I guess. I also have a thing for sentimentality and nostalgia in music, which is why I think a lot of the time, my music turns out like this. Thank you for listening, and for reviewing!
A bit late with reviewing here but I was a bit busy with christmassy stuff and travelling around last week.... Anyway... This is beautiful! The reversed sounds add a lot actually! Wasn´t sure if everything is reversed at the beginning but at the end I realized that everything is reversed. Very inspiring, maybe I´ll try to mix a bit of reversed piano sounds to some piano piece or something at some point... I really love the simple motiv you introduce right at the beginning. In general it sounds pretty minimalistic. It definitely reminds me a bit of Phillip Glass, which is a good thing ;) Also you have some nice unexpected modulations in it. Like the one at 2:15. Congrats to the 2nd place and a merry christmas again ;)
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
That's fine! I've found Christmas this year to be particularly busy myself too :/
And I still have 2 more tracks to compose this year; one is to finish my final track for the NGMT o.O
I'm glad to hear that you and many others like the reversed effect. Everything is indeed reversed, but the reverse sound is a bit lower in volume than the piano playing the right way :)
Sure! I'd love to hear some more reversed piano tracks :3
This is pretty minimalistic indeed, especially for being me. I tried to stay true to that aspect of broove's music. Sometimes, this is just the kind of track I like to hear, instead of something extremely complex which requires your full attention!
I have real difficulties with writing tracks without interesting modulations. It's my bread and butter XD
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
not bad :)))
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Thanks, dude!
GORGEOUS.
OH MY GOD.
This piece is so beautiful. That reverse piano effect is to die for. I've always wanted to compose a piece with that effect, but I could never get it right. But you certainly did. Excellent work! I'm probably going to be falling asleep to this song for the next few weeks haha.
LucidShadowDreamer responds:
Thanks a ton dude! And sorry for the late reply :3
I'm glad that you too liked the effect; I was a bit worried at first, but you and a few others erased all of my doubts.
If you want to know how to reproduce this effect, you can read my ramblings in my reply to BlueOceans's review! It's a bit of a mess, but I think you'll be able to figure it out :D
Merry Christmas, larrynachos!
