Muy bien.
Great blend of instruments.
I kinda wanna mention the volume level of the piano being a little too high. I hear some instances of high notes shooting throught the volume indicator bars. Try remastering the piano along with the other instruments to achieve the perfect balance.
On that bombshell, nice work. Would like to hear more from you.
Cheers.

Thanx for the comment man!!!! I hope that special person apreciate it too. Sorry for my crappy English lol. And check my other submisions if you like this one............
Nice!
I never knew Trance could be so pleasing to listen to. But now I know.
You wrote that this song has 17 patterns in the Authors comment. This might remove the chance of the song being to repetitive but it still takes skill to place 17 patterns in a way that the song runs smoothly and swiftly because, even if you have 17 or maybe thousands of awesome sounding sequences, if you don't place the sequences properly, the song might end up sounding awkward as hell.
There were some spots that I thought the transition might need more sanding to make it more smoother, but generally, very entertaining. The notes in the song are very colourful; it's almost like i can visualize them in color.
Anyway, great work. I hope to hear more from you :D
Thanks!
I do need to work on my transitions, and in some spots my timing is a wee bit off. But anyways, thanks for the review :)
wow
This song rocked. Well it was soothing actually. lol
Anyway, this is some sort of music that I would definately listen on a rainy day, which I'm doing right now.
From what I think, this song is brilliant. It has some sense of sadness in it. When this song hits the crescendo, it sort of gives me the feel of overcoming difficulty, a beginning of new hopes and dreams I should say. Unless I misunderstood what your intended feeling in the beginning and the middle of the song was, I think that's how I should felt.
In the end, the complex notes, somehow felt continuing of uneasiness, while the hopes are still there. Sounds just like a thing called "life", hmm? lol
One particular I didn't like is that it sounds like you used a digital keyboard. I would've loved it if sounded like it was done on a grand piano or at least an acoustic piano. If you indeed did this music on an acoustic piano, then well I guess I should see a doctor or something for my ears i guess lol.
One other thing is that I want to hear more bass. Not that it's a problem, but for me, I thought your range of octaves was shallow. If there was more variety in ocatves, This piece would have been spectacular.
Anyways, great work. Please keep it up cause I would like to hear more from you. :D
Thank you for this unusually eloquent review; Newgrounds is usually a little lacking in any constructive feedback. You are awesome. :)
Unfortunately, all I own as far as keyboards is just that; a keyboard, and not a great one at that.
That was exactly the intended purpose of the song; I am excited and pleased that it came through the music as it did for you.
I have been and will continue writing; thanks for the support!!!
Like it.
This song was very nice. It's got a weird taste (in a good way) and that certainly entertained me. But the frequency of the high notes playing is a little bit of irritation. I don't know if I'm the only sensative one, but it hurt my ears.
I personally liked this. It's like one of the songs that are used in mysterious situations or when people are in a state of confusion.
Know any Ace Attorney games? The ones with Pheonix Wright. Yeah, well it's court-simulation game, but it involves investigating and stuff. I think this music would be really fitting during the investigation in that game. The flavour of this music is weird, and mysterious, yet the notes going up and down and weird tunes make this thing a very interesting piece.
Keep up the good work. If I ever become a game developer or something, I'll make sure I contact you to use your music in the future ;P
Ha thanks (:
Very cool.
The songs very cool. Quite catchy may I say.
I know your intention was to create a song that repeats over and over, but those are the type of songs that I think very lowly of because I think there is no creativity involved. Of course, making a music like this already requires a large amount of creativity to get this melody created, but it's repeating over and over again. This music only befitts the menu screen where music is played over and over again while the menu screen displays some scene in the movie. But I would put this music in the main menu of an awesome movie.
Wow, thanks for the input! Yeah, hardstyle is repetition, but I'm trying to make it seem more creative somehow. It's kind of like re-inventing the wheel in some aspect. XD
Cool.
I like the reverb of the piano. The only thing that brought down your score significantly was the drum part. Way too damn quite and way too simple. I would've fallen in love with this song if the drum part was more complex, got more desperate feeling to it. I'm a drummer so I was quite unhappy and disappointed. Also the Piano part. Overall, I very much liked it. But repeating one note over and over again? (eg. starting from 00:31) I didn't quite like that. For the guitar, yeah I can imagine the guitar playing that part quite nicely. But I wish you would've put more effort into it. Rather than just doing the guitar part, I wish you would've improvised the whole song to a piano, so it's more smoother and befits the piano part.
I may be taking this seriously, but I suggest you putting more efforts into the music before posting it here on Newgrounds. No hard feelings. I liked the music very much. Hope to see the full version soon.
The reason the drums are so simple is because i wanted to focus on the piano (guitar) part. Also sometimes less is more in simple songs like this. I was shooting for a more RELAXING song. There is a drum change at around 1:25 if you care lol. Like i did say though, i'm new to the program i am using (took me 2 hours to learn how to fade out lol).
Thank you VERY much for the response though. Constructive Criticism is very helpful.
I don't think is Jazz.
So far, I like the music. Despite the fact that you were aiming for the wrong genre and some uneveness in the music, I liked it.
I this is more like a progressive metal. Sounds kinda like it was influenced by dream theater, but in more cheery manner and less metallic.
Also, in the intro, the violin thingy in the background? Might have been a great addition to the music but sounds way too choppy. WAY too much repetition going on and I can litterally immagine you going crazy with the keyboard, cause the violins are too friggin' choppy! smooth it out! (The leading violin was excellent though.)
There are two types of music in my opinion. One is a type with extreme chops, mostly used in metal. And there is another type, which is very smooth. things like classical musics or jazz are usually the ones that belong in the category. In your music, drums with extreme chops and violin with smooth notes, I don't think you've quite achieved the "jazzy" feeling. If this music was aiming for progressive metal feeling, then this is one hell of a music.
I can assure you that you've took a great challenge in mixing both aspects of music because it's not something that can be easily done with ease and create a perfect harmony. I only know few musicians that actually achieved the perfect harmony using both chopiness and smoothness.
I would recommend this music to anybody who plans to make an rpg game like Final Fantasy series, but only if you fix the repetitive violin part. Smooth out the end of each stroke of the violin and this music would be an ace.
This is only my thought, but I would've liked if the piano part was actually piano, not something that is a mixture of electric piano and organ.
Anyway, very nice work! I look forward to your future pieces!
Thanks dude. That's the longest piece of advice I've gotten so far from anyone. Cuz usually no one gives me advice. They just say it sounds good and then they're done. Glad to see you care about it that much to give me advice on it.
FUNNY
LOL that was funny in the beginning! using the point-out-the-obvious joke was brilliant.
just wanna say that it's brilliant, a bit hard for me to understand the words correctly since English is not my first language XD, but i was able to understand fully after few tries.
Starting from 0:08, the smoothness starts to disappear, making it sound kinda choppy in a way.
overall, funny comercial XD
hey, its taken out of one of my games... its going to be so cool when you see the comercial.. there are like 20 in the game so far... Industry Rising is the title of the game... look for it soon... :-)
