| 99 Bottles Collaboration by alanatomic | 11 months ago |
| Bugger, my ISP keeps dropping me when I try do download this. Er... I didn' see my name (he says, quietly strumming 53 bottles of beer)  Cheers Dick |
|
| The Bells of Moscow by WallOfSkin | 1 year ago |
| Some nice ideas. I'm not sure about the use of the tubular bells (?) all the way through but nicely put together | |
| "Through and Past the Glaciers" for Orchestra by Aafarr2 | 1 year ago |
| Impressive work Quite amazing what you've done with this. The control of dynamics and the instrumentation is incredible. I'm in awe. Cheers Dick |
|
| Orchestral Study # 7 by soulima | 1 year ago |
| Excellent instrumentation. It has the feel of the sea about it and the use of dynamics really underlines a sense of movement. Although it stands alone quite well I think that it probably makes more sense in the context of the whole piece. Cheers Dick |

| the conscious dream by rograbi | 1 year ago |

| Overture (1) by Dickl | 1 year ago |
Thanks guys. It was a bit short and a bit rambling at the end because I never finished it  I thought I'd get it done but never did  Cheers dick |

| Symphony #1, Mvt. 2- Adagio by kristyjo | 1 year ago |
| Epic stuff. You'll need at least 3 choirs to do this justice. I can hear it in a cathedral setting Cheers Dick |
|
| in the hands of dante by Mikee | 1 year ago |
| Nice piece, not sure if it's a symphony but then again we're all friends I'm getting a little distortion on some of the higher notes. Actually it reminds me of part of the soundtrack to Diva by Vladimir Cosma. Cheers Dick |
|
| "Puppets" (An Orchestral Prelude) by mbehar | 1 year ago |
| Really well put together. Beautifully and sensitively arranged but some of the string sounds are a little strident. I've no issues with the percussion. I love percussion too. Trombones at the end are great Cheers Dick |
|
| "War Game Suite" Op. 17 by zeroAcademy | 1 year ago |
| A neat piece of work. Fits the soundtrack genre perfectly and it's very evocative. Good use of the sound palette. Cheers Dick |

| Silence by evrenstein | 1 year ago |
| What I argue about a lot with muso mates are loops, and I think this is a great support for my argument that good original music can be created from existing music. Cheers Dick |

Thanks guys. I wouldn't worry about getting here late as I still miss loads of good stuff  The lyricist, and also melody writer, is a guy called Graeme Hobbs who I've worked with since our post punk power pop outings in the early 80s. More songs and info at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=661117 Thanks for stopping by. Cheers Dick |

| Misty (eagle_1) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| What a great arrangement and use of instruments. EWQL Platinum? After all the comments about the vocals I was wondering where they were and then BANG! Beautifully done guys. Fine singing and playing. Cheers Dick |

| She'll Feel Alone by BossHook | 1 year ago |
| Heard it. Liked it. All been said. This stands up so well as it is. Demo or not it's bloody good. Cheers Dick |
|
| Talking to the Past by chf | 1 year ago |
| Do you only do epics? Really well put together. Guitar work was great and the scope was amazing. Lyrics are great but the vocals need a bit of work. Cheers Dick |
|
| Celtic Journey by haddonkime | 1 year ago |
| This was not all software instruments surely? Fiddle is very well done and I liked the changing textures. Convincing stuff Cheers Dick |

| Time I came down by AdamStolterman | 1 year ago |
| Very nicely done. Great harmonies and nice instrumentation. The arrangement reminds of Simon | |
| 013107 (We are not like you, we are love you) by LittleBunnyRabbits | 1 year ago |
| Love the beginning Great guitar. Thought it was going to go all metal but you surprised me I do feel you should have warned your uncle about running with scissors as well. I suspect it was the weight of the scissors that did for him. Cheers Dick |
|
| Dynamic Movement of Surface by gennargiu | 1 year ago |
| There's a lot going on in here. Very 80s and analogue. Subtle development and shifts. A bit too uptempo for an "ambient" label maybe (then again what does an old punk rocker like me know about ambient ) and a touch too long for me but very well done. Cheers Dick |
|
| Spring Gigue v. 1 by georgeptingley | 1 year ago |
| Short, sweet and nicely done Cheers Dick |
|
| The Song in the Heart of the World by David_WCramer | 1 year ago |

| Friendship by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| Nicely done. A sonorous quality to the voice lends a real gravitas to this. Cheers Dick |
|
| A Seminole Problem by chf | 1 year ago |
Wow, this is a bit of an epic Some great chord changes and a killer slide. Sounds a bit like something Dave Gilmour might have written. Cheers Dick |
|
| The tSUNAMIS-Bingbotaboocho Bop by dstadther | 1 year ago |
| A little gem. Surf music is not a genre I find myself drawn to but I loved the apparent simplicty of this knowing how bloody difficult it is to play so precisely. Bravo Cheers Dick |
|
| Devils and Chains by fromano | 1 year ago |
| Nicely put together. I love the internet and sites like this that can turn a basic idea into a fully formed song. For me it's like having a virtual band and it sounds like your virtual artistes are working well together. No real nits except (the already mentioned) lack of bass. Cheers Dick |
|
| It's a Rotten Job by Dickl | 1 year ago |
| Thanks guys, it was a real mixture of loads of styles but as an experiment it worked Ok. I really appreciate the comments. Cheers Dick |

| Dance Of The Kappa Maki - Part Two: The Living Mushroom by nealbowen | 1 year ago |
| Nice workout. Sounds great and the playing is pretty impressive. Cheers Dick |
|
| Half Mast Girl by dirigent | 1 year ago |
| Nicely done but it feels like an intro and I was expecting more Good vocal but I'm not sure the 2nd vocal part was needed. I'm sure there's a story behind this ??? Cheers Dick |
|
| You Will Find by philosurfer | 1 year ago |
| Nicely off the wall. Reminds me of Sufjan Stevens. Builds very well, I like how the guitar comes in from under the banjo and the strings are introduced. Cheers Dick |

| Not sure you need another comment, but this is excellent. Love it. Cheers Dick |
|
| MY FUNNY VALENTINE (Version 2) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| Hmmm, that's nice (to be delivered in a cool beatnik fashion) . A nicely understated backing (bass and piano were excellent). Some lovely subtle playing in there. Kudos to all involved Cheers Dick |
|
| Masala by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
| That does its job and no doubt about it. Really well put together, i'd be interested to hear the rest when it's done. Cheers Dick |

| -SG3-Turned to Cloud and Rain by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
| Nicely done! The old Ehru vioilin if I'm not mistaken. A good use of sounds and textures. Cheers Dick |

Brilliant stuff. Excellent instrumentation and vocal delivery. A classy performance. Cheers Dick |

| Celtic Jazz by grathy | 1 year ago |
| Nice laid back stuff. I think I'd have liked a bit more variation in the backing but it works well. Cheers Dick |

| Festival of Kites by ferret | 1 year ago |

| B4NW-With trumpet solo (Filmscorz Trumpet Solo) by Filmscorz | 1 year ago |
Mr F, This is truly very good. TAIL I liked the bassoon in the early section but the only nit pick was the abrupt change around the late 2 minute mark. Trumpet is exceptional. I love the concept and how this was put together. I'm not convinced about the strings over the solo. I've had preferred a more sparse backing. Blimey, this moves about so much it's difficult to keep track. Oh, and there's that bassoon again Classy stuff matey Cheers Dick |

| Blimey, thanks guys! I tend not to post too much on icomp as I don't feel that I'm good enough compared to some of the stuff I hear so I really welcome the feedback. I have to say this is my favourite song from the rock opera I'm writing and I thoroughly enjoyed the scoring. Finally putting that music degree to good use. I'm not a great fan of Mr W but being compared to him is fantastic. I appreciate the comment about my voice but I have to admit the song was pitched within my comfort zone ; Other songs from the "opera" are at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=661117 Thanks again one and all Cheers Dick |

| 4 my love by Lapotu | 1 year ago |
| After your comments in the forum I was a bit worried about what I'd hear but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice guitar work, good voice, a decent mix. If this is one of your first efforts then I wonder what it'll be like when you get the hang of it Cheers Dick |

| Hiero by heartstrain | 1 year ago |
| Nicely put together. Plenty of ideas. Some good sounds and an ambitious arrangement. A few of the segues were a little abrupt but overall I enjoyed it. Cheers Dick |
|
| ceremonia by hellmet | 1 year ago |
| As a stand alone piece I didn't feel there was enough movement, variation or harmony but as a soundtrack accompanying a quiet interlude in a film/play/etc. it would work really well. Cheers Dick |

| The Olympiad - Close #1 by pacey1800 | 1 year ago |
