Bravo well played this is fantastic.
Just a Man by Bowman 7 hours ago
Lovely themes. I like your instrumentation.

My only constructive feedback would be to play with your expression, volume and add a touch of sustain peddle on the piano and your nearly there. Noticed a few out of time steps but it adds to the live feel and its always good to know people are not quantizing.

Another tip is to Try looking at classical structures (look them up) such as ABAB or AABAA and each time you come back to the same chord sequence use variation of melody and instrumentation. Having more than one chord sequence (Section) and variating them on return adds to the listeners interest as the piece and melody develops.

There is some good counterpoint here and the melodic theme is, as I have already said, lovely. Good one smiley

Eight Hungry Mouths by KennethLavrsen 3 days ago
Kontakt has currently the best 3rd party Virtual instrument sample makers making for it. Although I usually dislike block chords with little movement I think they sit well within this track. The Melody is lovely and to me is what I strive for in all my pieces wether action or romantic. Lovely listen

To Nothing by pgreenstone 6 days ago
Lovely arrangement with some subtle delicate triad off beat woodwinds. @toveco I think what Tom means is dynamics. Many people just play in a midi line but never play with modulation or expression in the automation to give lines a flow on the bowing for example. Another tip is to vary the tempo in the main master it sure brings out the expression.

I really enjoyed this piece and found it very relaxing. Thank you for sharing smiley

Everything by DavidArthur 15 days ago
Sounds a tad distorted. I was expecting a beat but that's just me. It's a good arrangement and I like the lyrics and structure. A fine song and one to be proud of but a little more mastering and mixing is my personal feedback. Thanks for sharing smiley

Until My Dying Day by jonsmjohnson 15 days ago
I like it but the lyrics are a tad depressing - you feel like that ? Great American feel and the mix to me is good. Well sung
Elegy by maglasser 16 days ago
Lovely arrangement. The instrumentation and variation in tempo are good. The variation in dynamics in the triad chords needs to flow (soft - hard and back to soft) from here they seem to have been recorded as chords with little dynamics. The Harmony and variation in structure is good. All in all a wonderful arrangement well done.

BOSSES AND SLAVES by KCsGROOVE 22 days ago
Great Lyrics and so true .... if you view the Capitalist structure as a cog mechanical machine then the Big cog turns a very small amount but time the motion has got through to the small cogs at the front end they're spinning wildly. The Big cogs get paid millions even when under performing and the small ones get ousted or replaced when the shareholder wants more from the machine.

Lovely sultry Vocals to a funky jazz backing. Great stuff Cees

Lovely Composition. The Melody is well structured between minor and major key changes. The Lyrics are sound!! Well done
Requiem for a Dream Cover by JDVLZ 23 days ago
3

I like the concept and the minor key riff. But I would change the theme and sequence at most around 60 secs with a build then silence before really going for it with bombastic tako drums or such beat into a new section. Keeping a listeners interest with just 4 notes on a sliding scale "nah,nah,nah,nah" on the lead guitar without even a change in instrumentation is difficult to keep interest.

You have something here....I live scores of mixed genres such as orchestral and rock but a closer look into musical structure and variation of themes is needed me thinks - just my opinion but seems to be similar to above. Don't delete it just work on it and evolve it - you won't be sorry smiley

You have a great pallet of laboratory of sound experiments and would love to collab on a dark horror score. Great orchestration and instrumentation. Genius
I'll Search For You by Moviz 27 days ago
Great vibes. I listen to the lyrics and find gems that speak out but many may miss them for the fast pace beat and lic. Great sound here. I would give more dynamics to the block chord strings - perhaps some movement as well in the lower register for counterpoint. Really enjoyed this one Moviz!
