| the road less traveled by Mystified | 1 year ago |
 Lovely as always. I really enjoy the sweet story you tell with the piano on this one. Improvisation? Really? Wow... This must have just been waiting to flow out of your fingers. |
|
| Use Somebody (live) by etgilles | 1 year ago |
| Lovely. Very intimate and uncluttered. | |
| For the Beauty of the Earth by Mystified | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful, as always, Mysti! Thank you. | |
| Aki no Otozure by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
Lovely, evocative mood piece, reminiscent of the Vince Guaraldi Trio. |

| Imposter - first draft by HeadCheese | 2 years ago |
| I finally heard the original tune that was taught to me all those years ago. It's Peter, Paul & Mary's "Soul Cakes." All these years I've been playing this little tune and I never knew the actual source. Granted, mine is not all "folksy" like P,P&M, but now I feel all derivative... | |
| Earth's Angel by BrettCummins | 3 years ago |
Brett, Awesome as always. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Guitar Test 1 by HeadCheese | 3 years ago |
| Yes, there are four, I think, actual played guitar tracks on this short piece. A better mix might have made it more obvious. The tapped part troubled me most of all, because I never really felt like it "fit," but as almost everything I've done has been an experiment, more than a composition, I left it in and it has grown on me. | |
| Lunatica by Merlin | 3 years ago |
| This was a fun listen. I kept thinking I was in an off-Broadway musical. Freexie's vocal range and the wide-roaming score created broad imagery. Thanks for the ride. |
|
| Rise Against The Machine by TheGreatGonzo | 4 years ago |
This is very cool! |
|
| Tainted Milk (Gone Sour Version) by TheGreatGonzo | 4 years ago |
I was listening to this, thinking... "man, this reminds me of something," when it finally hit me. Embarrassing how dim I can be sometimes... Good work. Nicely grunged-up for a (the irony is delicious here) "freshenend up" take on an old familiar 80's stand-by. I bet it would be great with a Trent Reznor-styled vocalist doing the lyrics. |

| GoogyFlicker by HeadCheese | 4 years ago |
I think I left Falzaabi speechless... |

| Tasting The Rain by TheGreatGonzo | 4 years ago |
This is enjoyable and a pleasant listen, but I think it's mislabled as "ambient." Generally, Ambient music is non-intrusive and doesn't draw a specific focus. This one has a lot of catchy musical phrasing, as befits a tune made entirely of loops, and shifts mood a few times, evoking several different mental images. That said, I'm not sure which category fits best for you. Perhaps it would work well as a soundtrack piece for a short bit of modern film. Overall, very good. It reminds me of the style of music ShadowFax (used to?) make. |

| Waiting in Vain (Bob Marley cover) by wal4uJR | 4 years ago |
I'm almost embarrassed to have "Artist" show up under my name, when I listen to people like you with real talent. Very professional, excellent rendition. Too bad I can't add it to my 'Pod to listen to away from my computer. |
|
| BIRD SONG by wal4uJR | 4 years ago |
Someone just walked into my office while I was listening to this tune and asked if this was from a new Joss Stone album. Well performed and produced. I look forward to hearing the rest of your music. |
|
| AICHA by nailevrimdog | 5 years ago |
 It's fair to say that you left me wanting more. But, of what there was, I like it. |
|
| Our Voice (New Mix) by johanevander | 5 years ago |
This is great! |
|
| The Twisted Ballad of Farmer Bill (original Hillbilly Solo Mix) by HeadCheese | 5 years ago |
| Thanks for the kind comments, folks! Every once in a while, one of my darker muses does the inspiration-work. I think perhaps her name is "Socio-Pathos." By way of a writing exercise, I sometimes try and turn off the social filters that make such topics taboo, and explore these off-center concepts. In any case, yes, Orange, that is my voice. I used to do voice-over work for commercials locally when I was younger. Granted, it's not necessarily my everyday speaking voice, but that's me. |

| Serenade O' Spam by mattf | 5 years ago |
The Geek Factor is off the charts on this one! How funny! |
|
| Frogments of my Imagination by itiswotitis | 5 years ago |
What Fun!! |
|
| nimm das by Addur | 5 years ago |
| Kein problem, Addur. | |
| Epic Fantasy by ciheins | 5 years ago |
Truly well named, Chris! Your classical roots are clearly showing and the maturity of this piece is deserving of more than the maximum five stars. Outstanding! |
|
| Joel's Funky Rock Song by jerryn | 5 years ago |
Nice use of loops. The tune is too short though and leaves me wanting more. I'm looking forward to hearing your guitar-shredding, Guitarsheder295. 14, huh? Sigh ..... |
|
| [Session] Underwater by talesoftwo | 6 years ago |
This is almost an atmospheric or ambient piece, more than what I think of as being a drum and bass track. The frenetic drumbeat blends into the sweeping wave-like synths to the degree that they become texture, more than beat. For my part, I like it, though (and perhaps more), because I listen to RadioAmbient and similar online radio stations while I work. |
|
| My Hometown (Bruce Springsteen Cover) by smurf | 6 years ago |
Nice and minimalistic. I'd really like to be able to hear the vocals, though, and that's the only thing that mars this otherwise excellent performance. |
|
| The Queen by WRG | 6 years ago |
I like this one, WRG! Although... it sounds more "Empress" than "Queen" to me. |
|
| The King by WRG | 6 years ago |
It's like the Medieval Mystery Hour! |
|
| you don't scare me (you're part of me) by paulfisher909 | 6 years ago |
Very nice and folksy. Nice harmonies, too! |
|
| Frail so it Breaks by MikeJohnson65 | 6 years ago |
It's like progressive jazz, but edgy and angry. It makes for a good showcase for your raw talent, which is great! |
|
| Number 7 (jayman mix) by Surak | 6 years ago |
I like this mix much better. It's much crisper and takes care of the hollow sounding drums from the original. Great job! |
|
| 2nd Cadavre Exquis Group C Final by danman4961 | 6 years ago |
Cadaverous goats seemed to be thematic on this one... I like the way it wraps up, too. What fun this was! |
|
| 2nd Cadavre Exquis Group B Final by lilichi | 6 years ago |
"Cadavers Forever!" Hah! |
|
| Lingering Perdition by rickyeatworld | 6 years ago |
| Everything sounds so ... disjointed. I'm not really sure what to make of it. Call it an "art piece." |
|
| LATELY(AT NIGHT) by KBEATZHOT69 | 6 years ago |
No loops? Really? Cool. I like the delicate piano almost in the background. Probably could be raised up a little, in my opinion. |
|
| There Where The Flowers Grow by WRG | 6 years ago |
This reminds me of the tunes I'd hear back when I used to juggle at Renaissance Festivals. Nice work, WRG! |
|
| Androidic Tabla by Tablamaster | 6 years ago |
This tune is really hopping, TablaMaster! I like the complex rhythms. But what the heck is the "android" saying, anyway? |
|
| flying by happierthanever | 6 years ago |
Very, very cool! Love the vocals, particularly. |
|
| rise up by eventide | 6 years ago |
Rock On!! I've got to agree with Jayman's mix comments though. Great song! |
|
| Butt Barkin Polka Part Deu by jayman | 6 years ago |
I've been damaged... Worse, I'll probably have the tune stuck in my head later! I almost hate to rate it, as it would only encourage you... |
|
| chocolate by happierthanever | 6 years ago |
I think it's fair to say EVERYONE at my office heard this today. Some of them may have liked it as much as I... Intoxicating and highly caloric. |
|
| Class Act by avidmacuser | 6 years ago |
Very energetic and upbeat. I like the bouncing melody. |
|
| Take this car for instance by TeddyC | 6 years ago |
I like this, TeddyC! Very polished and relaxed for a slow cruise. |
|
| WaX3 (demo) by naboo | 6 years ago |
I feel like I'm in the passenger seat of the doomed car Pete_driver is piloting into a concrete bridge abutment. Strange that I should be enjoying the ride... Fun, if slightly repetetive, tune. I think I'll spin it again before I move on. |
|
| Song For Lili by WRG | 6 years ago |
So where's the rating drop-down for "Sweetness?" 5 hearts to WRG for his tender love song. Thanks for the listen and cause for speculation. |
|
| nimm das by Addur | 6 years ago |
1 entry found for a cappella. a cap·pel·la P Pronunciation Key (ä k-pl) adv. Music Without instrumental accompaniment. [Italian : a, in the manner of cappella, chapel, choir.] I think your tune is mislabled.... |
|
| longing by Mystified | 6 years ago |
Tears on a keyboard. Yours, possibly. Mine, certainly. Hearing this with an already heavy heart overflows the emotional dam. Mysti, I hope you find the object of your longing and return to us again soon. Until then, I have a new longing of my own... |
|
| For U I Will by scarafoo | 6 years ago |
Great beat and eastern strings to compliment that sultry voice. I enjoyed it very much! |
|
| Cowz by the_chosen_one | 6 years ago |
This is at least as good as Blondie's "man from mars... started eating cars" junk that mainstreamed rap years ago. Funny. |
|
| Imposter - first draft by HeadCheese | 6 years ago |
| "Scent," 40? Are you saying it "smells?" LOL | |
| The Story of Life by the_chosen_one | 6 years ago |
Great beat and concept. Thanks for posting the lyrics, TCO. I'd hate to have missed the message due to the muddy vocal recording. Hopefully, someone will be able to help you work out your settings so you can rerecord this to the high level it deserves. Wonderful - and wonderful potential! |
|
| Bottle And A Gun by WRG | 6 years ago |
Alcoholism and gun violence - WHEE!! Great tune, WRG. Sort of an "O Brother, Where Art Thou" song. Very creative and fun. Needs spoons, though... |
|
| Vocal Test by HeadCheese | 6 years ago |
| Wow, folks! Thanks for the comments! Love it or hate it, I guess you can't be indifferent about it.... And, yes, Eharmonic, I have a very untrained singing voice, but thanks for the vote of confidence. |
|
| Love Belongs to Us by Didier | 6 years ago |
Absolutely amazing! Great vocal range and style! I kept thinking that John Lennon and Pink Floyd had a love-child, without the creepy, Yoko Ono factor. I think I'll listen to this a few more times today. |
|
| Ode to a defunct kitten by LaFayette | 6 years ago |
Smooth and lovely, wistful and melancholy. |
|
| Keep His Dream Alive by gthomasdirect | 6 years ago |
Not only a good tune, but an excellent reminder of The Dream. I think I'll sit quietly for a little while before moving on. Thank you. |
|
| U4ria by Bondiman | 6 years ago |
Well put together and professional. I'm not sure surfing would have come to mind without the power of suggestion, but I kept picturing a surfing montage like something in an IMAX documentary production. |
|
| On iComp All The Time by WRG | 6 years ago |
Dangit! Dangit! Dangit!! (if you're not from the South, insert your own non-obscene expletive here) I was walking around my shop and I caught myself unconsciously singing this song no less than three times now. I can't get it out of my head! Masterful use of loops to make a cohesive tune that'll fool the experts into believing you've got a Telecaster and a glass slide next to your computer. |
|
| Moonlight Sonata (Acoustic Guitar) by ChristopherAllen | 6 years ago |
Outstanding! I'm one of those sappy types that can be moved literally to tears by the beauty of artistic expression and Moonlight Sonata has rarely failed to tug deeply at my heart. This is a lovely rendition and my day has been made brighter by hearing it. |
|
| Loup Soup by WRG | 6 years ago |
This almost sounds like a soundtrack to entertain the que at a funky haunted house. This is fun and disturbing at the same time, with its avant garde subject matter and the bubbling sounds of mouth pops and whatnot sounding like a laboratory percolating in the background. I like tone poems and mood pieces. Something like this is hard to rate, so I'll just give "creativity" and "concept" five stars and leave the rest to the more "discerning" critics to sort out. |
|
| Mellow Ambient by MikeJohnson65 | 6 years ago |
Nice composition. Very enjoyable listening. I recognize some loops I've used as well, and hearing them in an entirely different context was both surprising and pleasant at the same time. |
|
| On & On II by Mystified | 6 years ago |
Another great vocal performance by one of my favorites on iCompositions, made all the more enjoyable by TheTiler's excellent guitar and lyrical work! I particularly like the harmonies on this one. A "must-download" for my library. |
|
| Rehlehna (the journey) by Mystified | 6 years ago |
I have been, and continue to be a big fan of the Myst series, and am very anxious to see what Cyan Worlds does now that they've closed the door on the franchise. PS: Are you the same "Mystified" from Myst/Uru Obsession forums? |
|
| Tristezza (Sadness) by Mystified | 6 years ago |
Outstanding! Haunting and introspective at the same time. I actually just sat in silence for a few moments after it was finished, not realizing that I was still swirling in memory. Bravissimo! |
