| Thanks for the commentaries. Shapiro, I tend to agree, and I think it's mainly due to my impatient excitement to get it done at the time. First day GB was released! But it certainly could use some work and as Dita2711 has mentioned a little longer with a middle and end for a more interesting complete piece. I did do my best to make it as natural as I goos considering it's all loops! Thanks theGranz. cheers all. |

 Great guitar work, excellent tone. |

Superb, love it. |
|
| The Only One by SlimGirlFat | 6 years ago |
Right now you are an Angel to me. As much as I love to listen to Single Gun Theory & Dubstar, I know love you voice as I much as theirs. Great compositions. |

Magic! |

| Psalm 210 by MrBajen | 6 years ago |
This is really well put together. I rated 5 all the way , as I listened to it I had to ask how I felt on each aspect, and that is my feeling for this piece "5". |
|
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 6 years ago |
| Thanks. Incidentally a couple of local bands wanted to use it as their intro music as they hit the stage. I wanted it to have the "Rock Arena" intro feel so I think I kinda got that for the most part. |
|
| Drive by CygnusX1 | 6 years ago |
| That was actually a loop I found, can't remember where I got it. It was either part of a Jam Pack or one of the freebies offered somewhere. That's the nice part is that it sounds more live than a prerecorded loop. |

| Ambient Guitar (chill remix) by PeteKistler | 6 years ago |
I too could stand to hear a longer version. Really nice tune. |
|
| Uncooked Tortellini Experiment by PeteKistler | 6 years ago |
Again, I love your concepts, and melody. |
|
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 6 years ago |
| PeteKistler! Loved your comp! Tortellini experiment |
|
| Loopy by kungfugrip26 | 7 years ago |
 First thing I thought of was "Fun". I felt you were having fun and that's what comes through, you have to start somewhere. |
|
| coffee and kleenex (recovery) by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
If you sold an album I'd buy it. But I'm loading your track on my iPod and I am really picky, even some of my stuff doesn't make it. |
|
| every daughter by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
Wow this is good. I love the the whole feel of the song and what ever you so for vocals , it's infectious in a good way. |
|
| Barbie's Letter by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
I like this all the way. The phaser is subjective, after all if it's what you wanted then that's all that matters. I think it works well. |
|
| Drunk Girl Crying by Blacklilyorchard | 7 years ago |
I could listen to more of this style. Contempaltive and good for a mind drifter. |
|
| Drive by CygnusX1 | 7 years ago |
| Thanks, I would have to agree with you, I've had this for a little while and hesitated uploading it. | |
| Ballad of the Lost by PeteKistler | 7 years ago |
You are doing great work, this is fun listening to your comps. |
|
| Pachelbel's Banana by PeteKistler | 7 years ago |
Great! again |
|
| The Overcooked Tortellini Experiment by PeteKistler | 7 years ago |
great! |
|
| Ambient Dream by CygnusX1 | 7 years ago |
| Hey no biggie. If that's what you imagined for a title then use it, works for me.  |
|
| Ambient Dream by deputydoofy | 7 years ago |
I like it. Nice concept all together. |
|
| The 5rd work Metal_5 by capa | 7 years ago |
Very good stuff! You play very well. |
|
| Xanadu by SnowDog | 7 years ago |
Loved listening to it! Very cool, sounds like it was a blast to do. |
|
| Ambient Dream by CygnusX1 | 7 years ago |
| Thanks all for the comments. I've been away for a while, but getting back into the swing of things. USSKJM, thanks for the suggestion, I've often though about doing more with it. I've had some local bands here ask me if they could even use it just as an Intro bfeore they go on stage, I guess it has some good to it |
|
| ElectRocker extended by CygnusX1 | 7 years ago |
| Thank you! | |
| Lake Shore Drive (edit) by MajrGroov | 8 years ago |
| I like this a lot. maybe just loops but I like the effort and the melody you have created. Nice work |
|
| Bite the Hand - CONTEST WINNER by joel8x | 8 years ago |

|
| Planet Metal (remixed) by aktm | 8 years ago |
| I'm lost for words, simply awesome... | |
| Traveler by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Thanks, I think it's the challenge of taking it a step further and actually completing it for an actual 3-4 minute track, maintaining consistency. | |
| Anthem by PuppySuit | 8 years ago |
| The crowd sounded better than the guitar. Seriously do you think this is good? Better luck next time, and you want to hear real guitar work ? check out Planet Metal in the Metal category Do your self a favor and don't be insulting in your commentaries be it to me or others on here. |
|
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| > Sounded fake to me. Go listen to my Anthem to hear the way a real crowd should sound. Better luck next time. Oh, and by the way I actually play an instrument. Thank you! |
|
| Barefoot by Sky | 8 years ago |
| Loved it, great mood setter. | |
| I wish you would by ash435 | 8 years ago |
| This was good, ending was abrupt, but non the less it was good stuff. | |
| Julia's Song by synaxis | 8 years ago |
| Very good and nicely composed | |
| Horsehead Nebula by BamBoo | 8 years ago |
| cool, very cool | |
| go now here by loomis | 8 years ago |
| Yes very nice. Starts well, ends well and good through out. | |
| Moody Way by Ryk Groff | 8 years ago |
| I jave to agree it's very relaxing and I think the feel and sound over all is very well done. | |
| Bite the Hand - CONTEST WINNER by joel8x | 8 years ago |
| Christ, I wish more bands on the radio would listen to this and sound as original. The fact it held my attention is what did it for me too(not boring). |
|
| Rainforest Congo by skydennis | 8 years ago |
| Good piece, I felt you were telling a story, nice use of sounds. | |
| church-beat by bravo | 8 years ago |
| Lots of fun to listen to. You mixed the organ loops nicely. |
|
| When Robots Dream by Xaqtly | 8 years ago |
| Truly good work | |
| No Regrets (Guitar/Bass Remix) by liquidg3 | 8 years ago |
| http://www.icompositions.com/auditorium1/showphoto.php?photo=973&password=&sort=1&cat=525&page=1 Remixed |
|
| No Regrets (Guitar/Bass Remix) by liquidg3 | 8 years ago |
| I actually like the remix. I didn't mind the guitar but it seemed "uncertain" in the way it was played. |
|
| Ghetto Beats by wozrus | 8 years ago |
| Very good foundation indeed, I think this could use some good textured quick keyboard fills, but it's a good base for sure. Very hip hop. |
|
| Planet Metal by aktm | 8 years ago |
| Absolutely enjoyed it! Really wicked guitar melody and it's on my iPod, don't stop now. |
|
| ElectRocker by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Da, da, duda duda - Got it! It is too short, I think this may be worth building on. I will also lessen the "smurfy" synth sound, and I think even an echo effect to the guitar at the end would have been better. Cheers! |
|
| hushed walk 3 by emersive | 8 years ago |
| welcome. It's good to help, I need it too |
|
| Ambient Dream by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| The keyboard will allow even for drum beats and allowing a lot more flexibility with textured sounds for sure. In fact even the guitar amps in GB sound awesome through the keyboard. |
|
| ElectRocker by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Great I will get that done, may be a couple of day (kinda busy). Regarding the guitar being extended do you mean the Heavy chunky sound or the more distorted lead line ? This is great feed back |
|
| hushed walk 3 by emersive | 8 years ago |
| 10 because I really could chill out to this sound. You've improved it for sure. Do start something new , curious to see other styles you come up with. |
|
| Ambient Dream by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| > hey cygnus any development yet? Unfortunately no. I got carried away doing the last one I uploaded, I do however have plans to do more with this one. I like that very atmospheric textured ambient feel (William Orbit influence) so I really am working on getting a keyboard soon-very soon. Incidentally the more I listen to Hushed the more I like it and could really work into something creative. ebiro, I usually have two ways of getting to a story. Usually I imagine space (yup planets/stars) and I have tons of images from NASA that make me think of melodies by imagining what the journey would be like. The other is I always think melodic even for the hardest or mellow tune. Any of you heard of John Stanford ? CD "Deep Space" great inspiration. |
|
| ElectRocker by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Thanks, that's some good suggestions. I'll extend the guitars and make it work well, I was also aprehensive about making it longer so as just to give a taste. I think I may work on this and create a 3 minute version or so. Thanks again for suggestions. I'll have a word with the smurfs |
|
| ElectRocker by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Wouldn't mind suggestions on what to do. | |
| hushed walk 2 by emersive | 8 years ago |
| I think you have a style in mind and you make it work, I'm wondering I should have given it 10 since you accomplished what you aimed for, very chillout groove style. I was trying to see if you could add something but nothing comes to mind right away, so I'll listen a few more times. I just finished another one but it's edgy. |
|
| hushed walk 2 by emersive | 8 years ago |
| This is an improvement indeed, and I can hear your influences. Good chillout. |
|
| Seven Nation Army (Cover of The White Stripes) by jake_ | 8 years ago |
| Great effort for a first attempt and covering very well! | |
| The Blue Lounge by patjo | 8 years ago |
| well put together | |
| It was 1 a.m revised by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| thank you both for the rating and feedback. Hopefully this will lead to better works and very anxious to get my 49-e keyboard and a guitar (borrowed) |
|
| It was 1 a.m revised by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Well, I tried uploading this revised version, but had to delete the other one first to get this to replace it. | |
| Desert Ride by BamBoo | 8 years ago |
| Yup, sunk my teeth into that one! Nice fills, I need to get mine more mixed up (baby steps) |
|
| hushed walk by emersive | 8 years ago |
| Welcome. Heard some Aphex Twin, also lots of Boards of Canada. |
|
| hushed walk by emersive | 8 years ago |
| http://www.macupdate.com/loops.php Grab these loops and that should give you some cool sounds! re compose what you have as a base and we'll give it a listen  |
|
| hushed walk by emersive | 8 years ago |
| well, I can see the direction you are looking to go. You can take this and buld it up with some synth/drum combo that's more upfront. What you have can be integrated with good mix of synths. Do you listen to Banco Degaia ? good for ideas I give a six for the effort, I think this is good as a backbeat to a trance/electronica piece you will get it. |
|
| SuperSection by Markus | 8 years ago |
| I'm not so much into pop style but you do a great job in composing I like the very well timed horns, this was an entertaining piece. I was going to give it a 9 but my friend insist i go all the way so after debating it I agreed this is well composed and had good funk. |
|
| Feel by Rob Reed | 8 years ago |
| Freakin awesome guitar sound! I'd like to know was it directly connected to the Mac or via an imic etc. This is better than any lousy rock/grunge stuff on the radio. Original ! |
|
| Being Jon Lordovich by sjoegie | 8 years ago |
| 8 for creating a none-boring organ loop, 1 for mentioning Jon Lord, 1 for bringing back memories. I scarmbled for a guitar! |
|
| Never be alone by rosifer | 8 years ago |
| rosifer, I listened to it again and it really is good the more I listen to it. I really like the melodic approach you have. |
|
| Smoothing by Markus | 8 years ago |
| Good composition as a pop piece. I have to admit I'm not crazy about the banjo sound in this instance, but if you got someoene to sing on the project it would be a good pop ballad. Good composing |
|
| Crawling by BamBoo | 8 years ago |
| Started out well, I just think it got a touch too repetitive and could use more variations. | |
| Decoder Ring by mcolyer | 8 years ago |
| I did like it, I only gave it a 7 because I thought it could have some more variation to it mid way through so as not to sound all too repetitive. I will say you have a good idea going here and it's over all composition is good. |
|
| Ambient Dream by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| thank you for the compliments and I'm glad you are enjoying it. I totally agree that it need some development, and it's something I'm working on. You will notice my selections will get longer but with more dynamics. I would be happy to listen to your compositions and I always aim to give constructive thoughts we are all learning and creating here. I just uploaded one that is called "It was 1 a.m." |
|
| Take One (short funky mix) by mctucker | 8 years ago |
| It's getting interesting around here. I liked it all the way, on a personal note I'd like to hear the back beat( which reminded me a lot of the music from Beverly Hills Cop) turned down a bit only because the overlaying melody was so good. nice work |
|
| Studio Set-up by weeznuts | 8 years ago |
| Down by the Creek (Remix) by macsnob | 8 years ago |
| and it works, good loop blending going on. | |
| Margaritas On The Beach by macsnob | 8 years ago |
| 8 for simply doing a nice job blending loops and making me want a cocktail. not my taste in music but very nicely thought out. |
|
| Twang Thang by macsnob | 8 years ago |
| Definitely original in sound. I like the thumbnail file too :d |
|
| Chopin in Rio de Janero by Makimoko | 8 years ago |
| I give it 8 because of how it was composed and you did a fine job trying to get something original. Unfortunately not every composition will be in every ones taste but I can appreciate the effort and attempt at putting loops together to make a track/composition. OK Just listened again before submiting, and I stick to my 8. |
|
| Never be alone by rosifer | 8 years ago |
| That was good, and melancholic it was, I like that. I have to give you credit for integrating the loops as well as you did. Nice work. |
|
| Pacify by peet.n.ali | 8 years ago |
| Love the vocal whispers. A style of music I do enjoy, could be in the same vain as Delerium and that's a good thing. Hope we'll hear some more. |
|
| Loop_D_Loop by tywahn | 8 years ago |
| Good direction in concept, and I do like how nicely you merged the loops and made it seamless. | |
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| you are all too kind Cheers! |

| Hal 2004 by Hairpants | 8 years ago |
| I agree with HAMR, I'd take it and get some good synth mixes -melodic that would really boost it. But I did enjoy it a lot. |
|
| 2nd Mixy by Kid_A | 8 years ago |
| You are doing well with this and I'm enjoying your style. I generally like the Electronica/Ambient feel not so much the house beat, but I'm enjoying your work. |
|
| my first garageband song by Kid_A | 8 years ago |
| nice mix | |
| Title sequence by rex | 8 years ago |
| I like it. I think you could see if you could expand on it, it has potential for the style you are going for. Nice breaks in the over all composition. |
|
| Night Driving by rayman | 8 years ago |
| nice, made me think of some Pat Matheney stuff | |
| A Song That Went Like this by atrox | 8 years ago |

| 3am Jam by themactech | 8 years ago |

| Pompous Dean by petraios | 8 years ago |

| Everything U Want by ryo | 8 years ago |
| I really enjoyed the melody and the work you put into it. | |
| Melencholy by iBaller | 8 years ago |
| very nice piano work, thanks for sharing | |
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Thanks for the compliments. I did try my best to give the instruments(loops) a live feeling by using the compressors and manually setting the 31 band EQ, rather than just throwing loops into it. Thanks again! |
|
| Live at Hammersmith by CygnusX1 | 8 years ago |
| Wow! thanks for the kind words! Uhm I just joined so I'll look into the contest, thank you much. Is the contest category the Best song one? |
|
| Wank by atrox | 8 years ago |
| I enjoyed it and think it's great just knowing all was recorded with GB. Nice work, enjoyed wanking. Listened again and the guitar work is great, my wife thinks it rocks! ( loves the vibes) |
