Wow, this really could fit an RPG.

At first, for a classical piece this song seemed lacking, but then I read that you said it was for an RPG game you were working on with a friend it all came to me! This would fit really well in a fairy-like-cave scenerio: "You and your party wonder strangely off into a cavern illuminated in light... you start to hear the beautiful music of a harp... luring you deeper and deeper within the cavern, carrying you in further by your ears." and BAM! That's when Bitter Sweet Harp starts playing =)

Good job, perhaps it would have been better if you uploaded it under the video game section? O.o

MaestroSorrow responds:

quite right, SHOULD have put it in Video game, but meh, until the game is out, or even finished, one can't really call it a video game track ^^.

Still I'm glad you enjoyed it, its missing some serious bass, but my friends said, don't do it! And so I didn't >_>.

Many thanks for your review ^^.

This was amusing.

Bravo! I can see that you really do put a lot of effort in your melodies and that is honorable, I always have more respect for those who can pull of good poly-melodies also.

It is interesting how now a lot of artists are mixing the old with the new recently, I see a lot more techno orchestras and electric operas now-a-days... I'm hoping to come out with a techno/trance orchestrated song sometime actually, good to see other innovative producers such as yourself =]

To possibly improve this song, I thought you could have tightened up your drums and made your bass kick and snare drums louder, the hi hats practically drowned out all the other percussive instruments but that's not necessarily as bad as it sounds =P the song went good with constant hi hats and I didn't find it repetitive, just could have had a more powerful bass kick and made your snare drums louder.

Anyway, excellent stuff MaestroSorrow! This gets my 5 and a download.

(By the way, in my "Alone I Die" review I meant to say "10+ REVIEWS" Sorry, it completely went over my head that I missed that word.)

MaestroSorrow responds:

I am glad you enjoyed it Kirizzle ^^. Indeed this song was a bastard to pull off! However when jumping into a new field, you can always expect some hard spots.

I will definatly keep your suggestions near me on my next electrical orchestral! I wish the best for your orchestral stuff also ^^.

Nice...

Wow, you are rather popular, you have like 10+ on everything, except this song (and -=[flying unmatched]=- but that doesn't count since there is a fixed verison of it =P) so I'm gonna review this one first for ya =)

I liked this piece, it was very relaxing and had a bit of an arabic feel to it because of the percussion you choose to use, reminded me of snake charmers oddly enough. The synth sounds you had going really made this more interesting to listen to, surprised me that they were even there in the first place since you normally don't have synthesizers in an orchestra =P but they certainly didn't take away from the song so it's all good Maestro.

The only thing that bothered me somewhat was the piano chords and bells you played in some areas of the song, they sounded rather dissonant, but otherwise it was a well put together track.

Job well done Sorrow, I'm off to go check out some of your other moozaks stuffs =)

MaestroSorrow responds:

Many thanks Kirizzle, and again you are correct, stupid dissonance... it seems to have somehow popped up in a lot of my songs... damn frequency and all that >_>.

Glad you enjoyed it, I had fun making this piece ^^, and again thanks for the review.

Awww!! Damnit =/

You beat me to my dream yo! I always wanted to do an orchestrated trance kinda combo song! Oh well, major props to you still, this was pretty damn cool =)

5 outta 5 for fucking awesomeness!

PERVOK responds:

8D

I think you should still go with the trance/orchaestra thing...i'd like to hear that!

Thanks for the review!

Hahah, this was neato!

I think you are off to a good start and you are getting a lot of great reviews to help you out! You really solved some problems in this song that you had in the first. You spread your instruments out in frequencies and it sounded a lot better. That and you had some cool timpani rolls going =) I really liked the melodies in this song, you really know how to compose some pretty interesting stuff. Once you learn to use your software better and get decent knowledge of how to master then you should go back to your first songs and re-do them, I can hear them in my head right now, they could sound amazingly breath-taking. So keep composing and shoot for the sky, you can go places with your orchestrated music as long as you keep working on making it sound better, and by that I mean your instruments/samples, not your melodies, those are great.

LoneInstrumentalist responds:

tnx man, i hope this compensates for my stupid threads on Bbs X]at least a lil

tnx for the review :), my head works in a unique (heavily put: insane) frequency X] so i dunno.....

hehe, sum friends of mine complained too....im just too weird... X]

cheerios! (yum!)
keep up your works too, n i'll see to ur suggestions :p

This is rather interesting...

Did you master this whatsoever? It doesn't sound like it, you should really start playing around with the equalizers along with compressors it'll make your music sound a lot better! That and you should tweak the volume of your individual instruments so that certain ones stand out than the others, such as the instruments playing melodies. I don't think you have the greatest library of samples either. The only thing that sounded genuinely real was the dark string ensemble but that's probably because it was a good sample on it's own, if you mastered it then it could have sounded even more amazing, along with the rest of your instruments.

Besides playing around with volume you wanna EQ your individual instruments and raise up the volume of the higher frequencies (3kHz+ (3,000+ hertz)) or make the instrument play higher notes because the entire song besides your oboe solo and your rev-crashes sounded like it was played in the 3rd octave and below, which makes the song sound kinda muddy since you have so many instruments playing in the 50Hz - 1kHz [frequency] range. If you want a real GRAND feel to your orchestrated music then you wanna hit everything between 50Hz to 20kHz! It'll give the song a more full feeling. So you should perhaps try raising your xylophone and bells an octave higher and see if it sounds better. You also could have done something to the bass trombone, it sounds really muddy because it was practically fighting for attention with the dark string ensemble since both of those instruments are playing the same very low frequencies. You need to seperate your bass trombone from your dark string ensemble, perhaps raise it an octave higher and lower the volume if you wanna keep it subtle or raise the volume of higher frequencies within it using an equalizer.

Now to your oboe solo. If you are going to put the spotlight on a specific instrument then you gotta make it SING! Make it powerful and give it some feeling! I thought the oboe needed to be louder and EQ'd a bit, also might of been cool to try out and layer it with something else. The melody it played was pretty cool, I enjoyed it =)

Now just like everyone else said, you played the rev-crash too frequently and it took a lot of attention off of everything else that it was going on since it was playing much higher frequencies.

Overall I think you could have been this song sound a lot better. It was still well composed though. (Tip: Also experiment with reeverb! I think you'll like it =])

LoneInstrumentalist responds:

wow, tnx man, great review....thou i needa correct u for sake of clarity X]

its kinda hard, but i make all my songs note by note, so it might clash wifout me noticing when i play 'em thru sumtimes

and 2. NOT oboe, its a string instrument ;) u can guess

and tytyty!!! i spend around 24 hrs on it lo X]

i'll heed to everyone's suggestion....once i complete my bio homework x_x

cheerios! keep up ur work!

Oh my fucking...

I love you. The piano was awesome, along with everything else.

O.O!!!!

Wow, I thought I'd never see the day an atonal piece would be on the weekly top 5... actually, I never even expected anyone from NG to be daring enough to do an atonal piece and upload on the AP since we all know how close-minded the typical newbie AP surfer is. The AP is packed with them and they only want the action-packed hardcore stuff like techno, trance, DnB and etc. Sadly they never look at skill and artistic expression in other pieces from different genres =/

Either way, this was surprising excellent, even though it was atonal, after listening to it a couple of times I started to like it and it no longer really hurt my ears, I suppose they adjusted themselves. Good stuff you got here.

This gets a 5 outta 5 from me because it was very well written, for an atonal piece that is :D

TritoneAngel responds:

That's exactly the kind of attentive ear I was looking for! Thanks for appreciating this for what it was, and for the great review!

Atonal stuff can be a lot of fun to listen to if it's done right. I'll try and submit some others for those that enjoy it.

You know what I like about you?

You bring a lot of your own flavor and spice to your music no matter what genre it may be. This track really stands out from the rest on NG and shouts, "Look at me you conformist bastards!" Which is a good thing because it's not stereotypical techno, you know, the kind Dimrain47 does.. his is.. well, just mostly raw techno, which from an artistically expressive point of view isn't very unique or creative.

The samples of people talking you put into this song were a bit creepy, just as they were in ATWC [Pt2].

Good to see you coming out with more tracks, keep 'em coming and I'll keep listening! Not too long ago I came out with an orchestrated piece just to let ya know if you are interested in checking it out.

Peace,
Kirizzle

LaymanLove responds:

Glad you liked it my man, keep comin back. Now I'm onto that orchestral

Hmmm, welll....

I must say this, you have good individual ideas, but just not together.

RemedyX responds:

Lol! It's ok. I just wanted to see what it would sound like. Thanks for the review!
