Well, I didn't know what to expect when the clean intro started up, then your immense guitars blew me away! Your production levels are much higher than the standard on NG, crisp guitars, fat bass, the only thing I can say there is, the drums had a very programmed sound (which im guessing they are) maybe try spreading some reverb on them to make it sound moe live? You have a very Metallica kind of sound going on, but your solo's are truly something else. I wish I could play like that. Nice one! Keep it up man!

This is a very nice piece, istilling a sense of serenity in the listener. Some nice arpegios in the guitar keeping the main structure and flow of the piece going, backed up by tranquid violins. You did a nice job giving the guitar programming a realistic kind of sound in the way it's played. And considering your tender age of 15 this is very good. Though I can't help thinking it would have been better suited in the classical section.

Now for some critisism, heh.

Your instruments sounded a bit too synthetic, maybe try finding a guitarist to play for you? And some better string samples. Also I found the dynamic changes, especially in the middle of the piece a bit extreme, make them more subtle.
Maybe introduce some more instruments into the song, or have a change in the dynamic theme to make the song more intresting.

/end critisim/

Anyway, stop by the audio forum for some advice and just generally audio talk ^_^

Do you know what? I was sitting there thinking, well its about time for some BAD MAN!!! You definatly didn't dissapoint! The clean intro was nice, but it really started getting brutal when the thrash riff started. Not much more I can say on this apart from, who the fuck is Lucy? Haha

Keep it metal man!!

date: October 19, 2006

What the merry fuck?? I didn't see this one coming! Very dark sounding, symphonic classical aspects mixed with black metal. Just my cup of tea!! I enojoyed this very much. Maybe some singing would have aided this song in some places. But your vocalist held the fort very well. Amazing piano parts, flowing guitar melodies, brutal drumming, you had it all. Nice one! Keep it up!

Well well mr.jones, what do we have hear. Another blissed out classic. The intro was somewhat...80's? Would you take offense to that? Haha XD But relaxing nonetheless. I liked the way the ambient layers all built up, and the tinkly like synth line playing lightly over the top, like the shiny dabs of light that play over a mountain stream (lol wtf? XD). The disadvantage of it though is that it put me in a hypnotic, almost comotose state of tranquility. I must now go take a cold shower to counter the effects of your music!

Cracking stuff, you've done it again. I look forward to more from you my good man. Fifen all the way!!

date: October 2, 2006

I really loved this. A few things let you down in my eyes. Mainly the production side of things. It was very quiet, I had to crank my speakers up to breaking point to get it at acceptable metal listening levels. You're a great guitarist no doubt, much better than me. But the drums were too loud and drowning out the awesome riffage. But apart from that, you had some fucking mosh worthy riffage in there. Dont let the 8 discourage you, this is a great song! If it were properly mixed it's very 10 worthy!!! Love your stuff man, rock on!!

Khuskan you truly are the spooniest of bards. Not only have you pulled of something mathmatical, you've made it sound fucking brilliant. I would have loved this piece without knowing you based it on pi, and now I know you have it's made it all the more enjoyable. Very clever stuff my man!!!

date: October 1, 2006

I'm listening on a laptop, so I don't quite get to experience the full force of this song im afraid. But what I can hear is excellent stuff! The whole piece to me had a kind of oriental feel to it (lol just read the name of the song...duh :P)And I loved the way it build up from a single cello, to a mass of soulful strings. What more can I say, beautiful piece, you were right about improving with time man!!

date: September 30, 2006

This is great!! I loved the old school, lo-fi sound. At first I thought it wasn't intentional, then I realised you have very good production techniques! I love the feel of this whole track. You certainly have some talent. It is the most original thing i've heard in a while. And the changes in the song keep it versitile and interesting. It was a nice relaxing, sort of jazzy song. 5's for you!! Keep it up!!!

submission: Loud and Fast

date: September 30, 2006

I see potential here. Though I have some critisism's (sorry if you object :P) It is defintaly a very original, and the interplay between the harp...thing and the bass kept the song flowing. A couple of things could do with improving though.

It got a little repetive, there were no major changes in the song, so it got a little boring. Maybe a tempo change, introduction of more instruments? And the production needs a bit of tweaking. It all sounded quite dry. Some reverb maybe? Especially on the drums, gives it a fuller sound.

But overall, very nice. Improve some aspects and you'll be doing great man!!
