Reviews for "Yötön Yö"

If everything was as good as your voice this would be perfect :D

[Ignorable nitpick coming up]: What kinda broke my immersion for a second is the breathy clicks on the organ in the beginning and the computer perfect timing on some of the real-sounding instruments.

Composition, flow and attention to detail very good overall. Harmonies just yasss. Also cannot help but love people who utilize good dynamics instead of just going "compressors yay!"

Keep it up :D

etherealwinds responds:

Well thank you very much for taking the time to review :D It's good to know what your experience was listening to it for the first time. I did manually go through and humanise each of the harp notes and also the strings, so none of those notes at least should be computer perfect but perhaps there was room to do push that even further!

Yeah, I find that the dynamics of a piece really help each part shine in its own space. No point cluttering up everything at the higher end of the gain just for the sake of loudness IMO! :)

Muy buen trabajo hermano, no entiendo la letra, pero te quedó excelente

etherealwinds responds:

¡Muchas gracias!

The ending felt unsatisfying, but everything else was great. I particularly like how you handled the transitions.

etherealwinds responds:

Sorry you felt that way about the ending! :D I purposefully composed the piece to end on a minor to give that feel of an inconclusive end, as with the lyrical storyline. I'm glad you liked the rest!

Beautiful

etherealwinds responds:

Thank you :)

I can't stress enough, how impressive it is that you were able to write and sing so well in a completely foreign language!
The music matches the story well, and listening takes me on a very vivid journey. You might say it makes me vaeltaa pitkin tuntemattomia maita ;)

I also love how you retain certain elements of 'your style', while you also consistently explore new territory. That last chorus took me by sursprise (in a very positive way), the first time I heard that powerful synth :D

I hope you'll write something more in Finnish in the future, and I look forward to helping a bit with the translation when you do ;)

Good luck in this final round!!! <3
