"Hip Hop with no lyrics?"

submission: Fr3quency Below (3min 21sec)

date: October 25, 2005

Oh well, I dont mind that much really.
The one and only reason i ever heard a song of hip hop was because the voices weren't there.

I love the ethnic feeling with this, as its very catchy and will attach to my brain.
Its really not my style, but i like to hear/try new things :)

I loved the basic melodies and the diversity.
You really did great, and you as well, should considering going pro :)

If you want constructive critism, is that it was a bit repetive for being such a long song.
Its ok though, i'd also call it sticking with the main melody, which is cool enough :)

I always end stuff with a smiley :)

Good luck further on

"A nine in my books"

submission: Melonchaly

date: October 17, 2005

-God, the diversity is actually quite overwhelming in this song, it changes pattern along the whole line. Not that repetive, im not a fan of industrial or anything, this sounds a bit more like ambient/electronica though.

- Some of the notes was off-key, and even if that was on purpose i dont think it fit too well into the song with it.

- Great variation of the instrument-use.

- I still believe in always following the same basics, but you seem to know what you're doing whilst doing otherwise.

- Liked the softer part at the end, with bass and a synth or something like that.

- As this is the first i hear of you, I'm not impressed as i've heard alot about you.
but it certainly lived up to my expectations.

- Any fool can keep order, but only the genious keep order of chaos. you seem to be the genious here Erkieman (Do you mind me calling you that?)

Indepth-With some critism.

"Edirol's Quartet?"

submission: The Afterlife

date: October 13, 2005

Its a bit slow, and repetive, but it's quite good for experimenting, Keep it up mate!
-Becomes better later, but it took a while to get there :S

"Good!"

submission: Farewell (cover)

date: October 9, 2005

Ok, I love Yngwie Malmsteen's music and this was a really good cover of the song.
I dont really know what to say, you should try to increase the clarity of the song, thats mostly it. :)

Good luck with your next song :)

"Sounds eerie."

submission: Spacemonkey

date: October 4, 2005

Ok, I liked the concept, but it got too repetive after a while, but for "playing around" its really really good.

I suggest you continue on orchestral genre, as you did well on it.
But thats only a suggestion.

The start was a bit techno-experimental, but it turned into Goth, Eerie Techno stuff :p

Good combination -Zeth-
Can you please check out my newest orchestral and tell me if i improved ? :)

"Ehm, And you think IM good?"

submission: Pizzicato ReduX

date: October 3, 2005

Then i must care to argue, because this song in itself was freaking good, and beyond my skill at this point, still has some minor bugs, but the general song was really good.

-Good remix of Cpt's piece.

"Freakin good melody."

submission: Intro (new wave)

date: October 3, 2005

-Ok, The setting on the melody was really good, and gave me a feeling i wanted from the song, but hip hop? honestly? naaah.

-Trance-Experimental'ish, Really reminded me of Donkey Kong Country 2:P

-Really good as an intro, i suggest you continue as a kinda "sequal" to this song.

-Keep it up matey! :)

"Genious, Made me wanna play mario"

submission: Super Mario Underworld remake

date: October 3, 2005

-This was restoring my faith for teh plumber ! Now in a black leather coat and a guitar! :P

-Oh well, Keep up the work man, Even though the drums could have changed a bit after a while :p

"Lets get to it"

submission: The Holy War

date: September 30, 2005

Im a composer of orchestral myself, using a VSTi for FL called Edirol, and ill tell you the cons and goodies of this song.

- Its rather big file, which annoyes me when i gotta wait ages to hear a single song.
-The start is good, but a bit too long between stuff happening. Reduce the length.
-I'll get bored after hearing the same things alot of times with no variation.

-You got some talent that you should go on with, because orchestral is very much liked with the majority of the people.

Could be some background music, but it doesnt have that much diversity nor dominance for a song that should be used for something else.

Really loved the timpani's.

"Could need a bit work"

submission: +Romance+

date: August 24, 2005

First of all, Congrats with your first piece, and it isnt a bad first submission.

-Could use a bit more instruments, as in some lower strings and slow drums.
-Needs a bit more emphasis and its difficult to hear everything.
-Well played in general, and you should continue to make music.
-You should'nt have so long breaks, makes the person kinda tired.
