"Nice Harmonies"

submission: SSB: Melee- Selecting theme

date: September 19, 2009

I was maybe expecting something slightly more epic after the guitar, but still it's impressive. Especially your harmonies; people usually don't step out of the box on those. ;)

So good job!

Score: 7

"It's Ok"

submission: Pokemon-Lavender Town [REMIX]

date: September 13, 2009

The drum beats behind it sound a little funny. And the piece was too slow for the genre.
But it did have kind of a new modern feel to it. So I give you points for that.

Score: 10

"How Very Different"

submission: The Acoustic Windmill(Zelda64)

date: August 31, 2009

That's kind of crazy good. I'm weirdly enough getting an image of a small french village... bizarre.
But crazy skills man!

Score: 10

"Way Cool"

submission: Kokiri Forest Springberry Mix

date: August 24, 2009

I liked that feel; it was very much what I think of Kokiri Forest--children running around, nothing overpowering, just playful. And I loved your choice of instruments. I'm normally not one to listen to an instrumental, but this had your own personal feel. I especially loved the part with the piano and the parts with the Ocarina. Those was fantastic.
A+

Score: 5

"Creep Factor is So-So"

submission: Zelda OoT: Nocturne Of Shadow

date: August 24, 2009

I liked the creepy feel you gave it, but there was too much use of the sound effects at the beginning. If you think about scary movies, or ghost tales, it's always scarier when something makes a noise and then disappears just a quickly. I would pull back on the usage of sound effects.
Also it was too long. The repetition of the melody line became a bore. I would work on not so much looking at the length of the piece. You should be able to feel when a song is truly done. I say you could've shaved off at least a minture.

Score: 6

"Too Loud; Too Many Instruments"

submission: Zelda OoT: Serenade Of Water

date: August 24, 2009

I liked the beginning--I wish you would've kept it simple and quiet. This song is a serenade, which usually are sung or played to someone--specifically a lover--to express emotions of love, among other feelings. I felt like there was too much going on, and it took away the beautiful simplicity of the piece.
Sorry :( I didn't like this one much. But I will give you points for being creative with it and for accuracy.

Score: 8

"Aww Almost!"

submission: Zero Two Kirby 64 (wip)

date: August 24, 2009

The opening was pretty epic...
and then it didn't follow through! :(
It was very good--the technical parts of it like picking apart the notes accurately and blending them with effects was well done. But the melody line just wasn't very "battle" like. The background was perfect, but the melody line needed more "umph!"

Score: 8

"That One Was Actually Pretty Good"

submission: Zelda OoT: Minuet Of Forest

date: August 24, 2009

This piece is actually pretty good. The harmonies--especially from the piano--matched nicely with the chords and melody line. And though the piece was a slower piece, it had a sense of energy to it. This goes to show a short piece can still throw a decent punch (I'm referring to the review I just left on your Bolero of Fire.)
So keep at it!

Score: 4

"This Drugged On..."

submission: Zelda OoT: Bolero Of Fire

date: August 24, 2009

The strings that were playing the actual Bolero of Fire melody line in your song were two high pitched. I would consider transposing it down an octave. Also, I think your song was unnecessarily long. It's hard to make short pieces because people always say they wish they had more of the song to listen to, but adding filler is only going to hurt you in the end.

Score: 5

"Meh. Not My Thing."

submission: Mario 64 - Secret Slide

date: August 24, 2009

The bass line is way to low; it got down so low you could barely hear the pitch of the note; I suggest transposing it up. I like the violin, but I didn't feel that the instruments really complimented each other.
You were pretty accurate on your melody line, but I don't necessarily care for the artistic choices myself.
