[Endless Forms]

Dude...you have NO idea how much I need this song right now.

Buoy responds:

Well at least now you have it! :D

[Waves of Diamond]

Wow...this is really good!

I love ambient music because it allows my mind to really explore regions of my imagination that i normally cannot envision without this kinda of music.

You should do a flash based off this idea.

But have you played Eco the Dolphin? Maybe a jewel encrusted dolphin can add some developing plot to this quick animation. Like...the ocean's surface is diamonds that float and underneath is a sea of jeweled creatures and an ocean floor of treasure.

EX: Jelly fish with emerald heads and chains for tentacles.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

I have so many flash ideas... but the problem is making my hand draw what my mind thinks, or play what my mind sings, or other things my mind thinks. that dolphin thing sounds epic and I will check it out. Yeah I could picture a really cool collecting game where your a dolphin or submarine and you dive waaayyy deeeeppp to collect jewels and discover creatures. That would be nice. I would have to make a much longer song though, but i have a basic idea of what each pad would sound like the deeper you go.

BTW I love your work man.

[Pink Knight Jamz]

You always know how to make epic battle music...

Did you really make this completely from scratch?

I like how the music intensity increases as you gain a certain power level.

I've tried to make music....DAMN...even in garage band I'm still frustrated.

It really does match the mood of a giant behemoth of an armored machine stomping it's way towards you.

I bet that is what you do isn't it?

You imagine a situation or even a character's personality or movement...and try to match music to that interpretation?

Dunnnnnn.....Dunnnnnn....Dunnnn.....

(The stomping of the Wooden Giant)

MindChamber responds:

yah I wanted a low creepy baseline, and as you played, it got more lively and intense.

I made this using samples, and edited beats.. thanks for the comments!

[Gelatin Crusaders (A->N)]

Really now... Gummi Bears?

I remember watching that show...WHY you do you say it was the greatest cartoon in the 80's?

This song surely had an extended lyrics...cuz this isn't something even europeans would dance too unless it was at least 7 minutes long completely different for each minute.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the comments! I think we meant one of the greatest haha. Looking at the description, I can see there's a typo up there and we're beyond the point where we can change it. But yes, that's what we meant. As for the length, I'm not sure that people would want this to play on the dance floor, haha.

Look out for our Club EP, that'll have versions of our songs that are 7-8 minutes so that should let you dance a bit.

Thanks again!

[poor mario]

It just sounds like mario...

not the strongest piece in my opinion.

I'm so sure you can do better...maybe a little longer.

glitcho responds:

made it just for lulz in about 10 minutes so it's okay imo)
thx 4 the review

[-Control: Mind-]

Hmm....needs to be in a game...

But...What kind of game?

Still...244 different patterns is a good thing.

Thanks for working so hard.

Waterflame responds:

No prob :D i used my midi controller aswell for some of the effects, live. so it was a hard task, but im trying to get better at working live with my music. hm what kind of game.. good question.. i cant really think of any right now. X) thanks!

[Girls Beat]

Not bad....

though no one likes a pushy artist.

Just don't worry about what others think of your work and just be concerned about how it sounds to "you".

Unless you're trying to impress someone. Then that's a whole another story.
_________

But I kinda see where these beats are going.

"Soft and Sweet...that can so have spontaneous moments of Attitude"

Thus creating the Girl Beat.

-Not that this implies as a sextet comment.

But rather I feel that though a girl is usually sweet, charming, and nice. That doesn't mean she doesn't have the ability to get angry at you. But as quick as those moments are...she is sweet again.

This is only MY impression.

I don't know what your original intentions are for the title "Girl-Beat"

but that is just My impression.
_____

Overall...sounds nice

-3 for a sense of frequent repetition.

MomoRocks411 responds:

Thanx, it's just a beat that I came up with one day. Actually somebody helped me. My cousin terri. but anyways, i'd agree with you.

[Reginald Libitz Ep. 1]

SPEAK CLEARLY!!!!

I'm sure this would be funnier if you spoke clearly.

I understand your trying to act a particular character.

But it is pointless if you can't understand the words.

>:(

I don't mean to get down on you. But this is vital advice if you want to tell a good story.

Pointers
-Your voice must be enunciated clearly before you act.
-Practice speaking by reading a passage in a book either in front a mirror
-Use a tape recorder and repeat the recording several times.

Acting in Voice takes practice. Otherwise you'll peeve off allot of people. And rather embarrass yourself.

Again...I'm sorry if I'm coming down too hard on you.

And before you get all "bent-out-of-shape" cuz of my criticism.

Please understand.

Criticism is for the benefit of the artist.

You want truth right? Not false Phrase.

Cuz if you know what the truth is...you'll improve greatly if you want to.

Narrating takes practice. So don't give up.

Rekenshiop responds:

lol hey no offense taken! I need the criticism to know what im doing wrong and improve. If i was going to get bent outta shape I wouldnt have sumbitted this so thanks for the comments they are greatly appreciated.

[Zelda - Donald Ducks Awakening]

Clever

It's something someone else wouldn't do...and that's what makes this song special.

Imagine Zelda Games and Movies replaced with Disney Characters.

Donald-Link
Daisy-Zelda
Bruto-Gannadorph
Mickey-Mindo
Minni-Saria
Goofy-All the Guards

The Flash Movie would be funny to watch and will give animators a chance to test their skills animating disney style.

Charmanzer responds:

exactly, like i said in my response above, i wanted to do something with this song that no one else has made. I think that a flash could be kinda cool =D thanks for your review

[Kayner Weaves]

It could be that I like Ambient Music....

But every-time I listen to music...images form in my head.

I am imagining a Native American God weaving on a tapestry....the story unfolding that is the history of the Native American People...

He begins to weave...and slowly the images show...and an animation of these woven patterns comes to life as these figurines hunt, fish, ride, and live.

It would make a good flash...so find yourself an animator.

Psy-nigma responds:

I really enjoyed reading your journey to the song. This is what keeps me inspired to continue writing song compositions.

Thank you!

And yes I should try and find an artist to create a video for this track when it is finished.

P.s. I will post you when I release the final edit.
