Title: 2 NEW SONGS PAGE 3
Post by: charaman on December 29, 2005, 09:24:48 PM: http://www.marchofthepigs.com/solo/final.mp3

I wrote this song and played piano and bass on it. Mr friend did the guitar. Tell me what you think.

Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 29, 2005, 09:28:27 PM: Sounds good in the begining... but seems to get jumbled and weird 50 seconds in. It goes faster, then suddenly stops, then goes a ton faster again, and changes speed to much like that.

Basically, I like the tune to it, but it's to mixed up on speed of the music.

Post by: charaman on December 29, 2005, 09:29:13 PM: ritardando and accelerando... I did that on purpose.

meh. I like it.

Post by: Al~Len on December 29, 2005, 10:54:32 PM: Stellar! ^_^
I loved it, great use of tempo changing throughout the whole song.

Very impressive charaman.

Post by: Seth Mitchell on December 30, 2005, 06:48:09 AM: pretty could, and as a music producer myself, it really moves and transfers tempo well.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on December 30, 2005, 03:44:37 PM: I liked it alot, although I agree that you could have the tempo changes slightly better.

Post by: coasterkrazy on December 30, 2005, 05:07:20 PM: Nice job! I liked the tempo changes. I thought they went smoothly.

A Warm Place (http://www.marchofthepigs.com/solo/A%20Warm%20Place.mp3)

This is a cover of a Nine inch nails song, with my own spin to it. I did it as a last for 2005.

note: you can hear all of my previously recorded music at marchofthepigs.com (http://marchofthepigs.com). That is, all that I've made public. I have plenty of songs that I am not ready to share yet.

This song pretty much made itself into what it is: an arabian-sounding song about a drug-addict midget. Eh. Say what you will. It was fun to play. I improvised everything beyond the first 2 measures.

Its very interesting... I like the sound. Synthesizers... sure.

Post by: coasterkrazy on January 17, 2006, 11:41:47 PM: Nice. That does sound fun to play.

Post by: drenrin2120 on January 20, 2006, 03:36:55 AM: I liked the first one, the second was okay. The third one was a little random and annoying in my point. But still a nice job, especially since you played them and didn't just make.

I think making them is much harder.

Post by: Zerlina on January 23, 2006, 12:23:56 AM: It's very good, but here come the comments ^^.

The guitar and piano seem to be playing in different tempos at some parts (different from each other), and it is not just dotted notes, or notes on the off-beats, it's completely different tempos. Accelerando is nice at first, but the wonky tempo just isn't to my taste. The accelerando around 2:40 is a bit abrupt, you might try to ease into that by extending the time in which you have to achieve the needed tempo. Toward the end the bass is out of tune.

Also, the piano's a bit syllabic, you might try for more dynamics.
Have you considered changing the bass part to a violin or viola? Or arranging in a flute? That might sound nice.

That sounds mean, but it's not a negative opinion I have. Good work ^^.

Thanks for the comment. The guitarist, I found out yesterday, didn't even listen to recording before recording his part (I e-mailed him the file), so I probably won't be working with him again. As for the comment about dynamics, that is probably a result of my synthesizer. It doen't have a great range, and it is quite sensitive to the touch. I've been working on a more orchestral sounding peice that you may like, and I will upload it soon, once I finish it.

Post by: Shady Ultima on February 01, 2006, 08:45:41 AM: I definatley liked the first one, and agree that the guitar could have been a little better placed. You're piano playing skills are pretty good though. If I owned a piano I'd practice every day, cause I really wish I could play piano.

This was recorded a while a go, but I want some feedback anyway. I played the synth, and my friend eric played guitar.

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on February 28, 2006, 12:23:05 AM: First one reminds me of the old Haynes commercial. Just try singing "Wait til we get haynes on you" to it. I like the last one best.

Final.mp3
(Remember, on a score of 1 to 5, 1 is the highest)

Tuning:
The guitar seemed fantastic as well as the piano. Nothing I heard wrong here. But, at the end, the lower notes seemed a little flat to me. But, overall, the tuning was great.
Score - 1

Flow:
The accelerandos and ritardandos seemed great! In a few places it seemed a tad off, but other than that, it was pretty good. The guitar seemed to be off tempo on the acc. every now and then, but was fine on the rit. I especially like the middle rit.
Score - 2

Quality:
This was the best. No comments needed.
Score - 1

Overall:
This was a great tune. I loved it! You are a great composer and I look forward to hearing more!
