He liked the music, but the fan film was a little bit cancelled sadly.
A Dance with a Gentleman by ihussain 4 days ago
Hah, it reminds me of the music from The Secret Garden and it also reminds me of the music of ZipZipper, which is an odd combination to think about. The music is lovely. Danke.

Girl with Oriental Magic Eyes by telo12 4 months ago
Wonderful piece smiley
I keep forgetting it's there and browsing the internet then suddenly realising something is missing when it's finished xD
The melody ringing in my ears after and I try to remember why it's there and then I remember I was listening to it on here.

Hahah.
I enjoyed this.
radiohead - Creep [feat. Terence McKenna] by randolf 4 months ago
I was expecting something similar to the original, I was surprised xD
At first I thought it was a bit too jumbled, but as it went on and I got into it and started hearing all the weird sounds merge together and come apart in my head, I started really liking it, it's really fascinating.
Strings by RockDHouse 4 months ago
Heh, I did the same thing when I found this instrument on Garageband, random chord playings without regard for measures or beats for 15 minutes or something ^^
It's a fun sound for that smiley

This sounds coolios smiley

I was pressing keys on my keyboard as I was listening to this. It was turned off, but at some points it sounded like I could hear it in the music ever so slightly.
Stringer-FS by fuadshakir 4 months ago
This is pretty cool ^^
Nice and tasty.
Do do do dooo by Conan 6 months ago
Oh this is wonderful!
The melodies and harmonies in this are just so delectable.
Violin thing by Conan 6 months ago
This song is cool o.o
I'm sure there must be a name for this structure/type of song, but I can't think of it or find it ><
Toxic (Yael Naïm Cover) by carlajpatterson 9 months ago
Yael Naïm's version is actually a cover.
It was originally created by Britney Spears, Co-written and produced by Bloodshy & Avant.

I'm not a fan of the repetitive background in this version. I do like your melodic and harmonic ideas though. And you have some lovely counterpoint, especially in the last quarter smiley
Mirrorvael Trailer Music by SANTARII 10 months ago
Yes, weird that, but if you copy and paste the text it should be fine.
Drag Me Away (Live Performance) by musika 10 months ago
"anyone who had you pigeonholed as autotuned bubblegum pop is now speechless and i hope, inspired."

Admittedly, when I first started listening to your music Musika, I thought exactly that, (not the auto-tuned bit).
I definitely don't think it now though :L
This song is brilliant.
Weeping Angels by ZipZipper 11 months ago
Yay!

Dr Who <3

I like this piece, very eerie, though I didn't like it much near the ending.

Thank you very much all eight of you.
*Rubs eyes*
All four of you.
Liliana's Song by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thank you Aaront and theTOMTOMS.

Jealous?
O.o

I must say, your comments on my song always seem far too over-complimentary, not that it isn't appreciated, because it of course is.
Liliana's Song by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thank you muchly smiley

I did cheat a little in the playing though ><
Recrudescence by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thank you very much!
Yes, a lot of instrument in this one ><
By the way, it's a marimba smiley
Tintamarre Convulsif by ZipZipper 1 year ago
Oh, that's some evil plucking there!
I rather like this piece!
It is very eery. The voices are nice, and the instruments, and the harmonies, and yeah.
You've given it one hell of an atmosphere ><
Counting Sheep (Instrumental) [PROJECT:READYSTEADYGO Version) by Stebbo 1 year ago
Oh my!
So dreamy and childish and ethereal.
Another word I don't know too!
SOmething along the lines of mystical.
Cloudy, as in "of clouds", not as in foggy.

Reminds me of Sigur Ros, as well as some game music from some rather wonderful games...

Downloading!
smiley
Recrudescence by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thank you very much Ruby.
Acidulé by SANTARII 1 year ago

Temptation by theTOMTOMS 1 year ago
Wow!
Oh this is some nice work ><
OH I JUST GOT TO THE ROCKIER BIT!
Ooh there's power in this one.

I love chromatic dropping baselines BTW!

This is just so...
...well, someone else already used the right word I think: "raw"
Acidulé by SANTARII 1 year ago
Well, it's not a music school, just one with music courses.
I do quite like the knowledge I've gained.

I'll make sure to keep using it then.
My music teacher an my parents wanted to make sure I would continue with music, because I have improved quite a bit in my last 2 years of college, and the course I'll be doing at university isn't a music course.
As I told them, I will DEFINITELY keep going on with music.
Recrudescence by SANTARII 1 year ago
That sounds like a big compliment there.
I certainly take it well, oh now I'm smiling!
Keeping You Forever & For Always (cover) by randolf 1 year ago
Haha, interesting, wonderfully creepy, I'd never heard the original.
Hallowe'en 010 by randolf 1 year ago
Brilliant!
I saw this on tumblr, I only just noticed the ghostly human form on the left though.
Orchestral Test by SANTARII 1 year ago
Hello Elfdaughter!

I have used the ones that came with AM, and the strings are pretty good, I haven't exactly compared them side by side yet.
Edirol definitely has a wider range.
You can have pizzicato, spiccato, vibrato, harmonics and tremolo of violins, violas, cellos and contrabasses.
These have solo string version as well as string section versions.

Basically, there are a lot of things, and they could come in handy for me.
Orchestral Test by SANTARII 1 year ago
Indeed, only Edirol instruments, 10 of them to be precise.
I'm going to guess at what "over-effected" means, and no, there are no effects applied to that, but I've made the notes constant, and they are quite low.
I've lost a bit of my adaptor for my keyboard, and so any velocity variance I have done has been click-point-type.
I definitely agree though, especially with the low part in the piano, sounds rather obviously not-played.

I shall look up this person, and thankyou for the compliments and comments!
Untitled by minorify 1 year ago
Yes it is a bit repetetive, but interesting and unique at the same time!
Love those dissonant chords! Are you planning on singing something over this?
Run While You Still Can by ZipZipper 1 year ago
Ahh your piano work is so brilliant!
That picture is perfect, the colours in it are the ones I imagined when I heard it!
Some of the chords near the beginning I can just imagine people running past things sparking and exploding in slow motion.
Strange Rain by ZipZipper 1 year ago
Ahh I love the rain.
The beginning of this sounded more like dancey upbeat happy rain than most rain I see.
Oh that piano is nice.
This is strange, and very interesting rain.
Poker Face + Pazza Inter + Baila Morena by pragawalker 1 year ago
Oh wow, lovely rendition!
Makes me feel dancy, I keep head bopping to, good beat. Lovely lively sound.
Fun song.
Cry Into My Tears (Collab) by carlajpatterson 1 year ago
"Just my first listen but.. that's our Carla! Beautiful music and the writing also very interesting. Santarii. What inspired this?"

Oh, a person. The piano and words came about when I suddenly felt like this about them one night, the feelings in the song almost completely faded that same night, so it was good I expressed it when I did.
It's odd, it was a mix of extreme empathy but also very stron jealousy, wanting to understand them completely and almost hating myself for not being more like them, including all the pain they've felt, wanting to just sit with them and somehow feel the same as them, all the pain they feel and just crying with each other.

Also carla, who needs a pretty voice when you have one so beautiful!

Also, I love the way you've made my logo over your eyes!
Cry Into My Tears (Collab) by carlajpatterson 1 year ago
WOW!
Thank you so much!
I love this!
So beautiful, I wasn't sure what to expect (though I expected something great!). I love your vocal harmonies, and the great dissonances, and all the notes floating about off in the corners. I love everything you've done!
Cry Into My Tears by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thank you so much!
No comments have appeared on youtube though.
Really thank you!
Komplek City by thenownows 1 year ago
Oh my god! Are those Dungeon Keeper sounds near the end? (The grunts).
I like this song, it feels fun and serious at the same time.
More fun though I think.
I love the Vibraphone or Xylophone or Marimba or Kalimba or something-imba-phone (You know, I can never remember the difference between all of these).
Sweet Obsessions by SANTARII 1 year ago
Thankyou!
Great to know you've joined =)
Whistler's Tune by ZipZipper 1 year ago
Ha! I like this time signature now. It's kinda hectic, it keeps feeling unexpected like "Hey, I'm going this way, wait no, that way, wait no, this way, wait!".
Giant Circus by ZipZipper 2 years ago
One stared me right in the eye at the beginning.
This circus has secrets.
The Clockworks Spectacle by ZipZipper 2 years ago
Wow =)
This is so great, 'twas a fun ride!
What was the piano synth you were using in the beginning?
Right On Time by carlajpatterson 2 years ago
Oh wow.
Oh it's so eerie!
Weird as well, and I love weirdness in music.
"There is so much to be mined from this concept" - I know how that feels, and I can see how you feel that about this.
The bit at the very end where it sounds like you are almost talking, sounds like the bunny from Donnie Darko.
In The Aftermath of What We Had by carlajpatterson 2 years ago
Oh good!
I was paranoid of you being upset and, unleashing your wrath or something smiley
Sweet Obsessions by SANTARII 2 years ago
Pretty? I hadn't thought of it like that, but yes it is!
You're welcome!
In The Aftermath of What We Had by carlajpatterson 2 years ago
Your singing - Great!
Backing - Great!
Together - Not so good. The guitar and you clash, both trying to lead, and at the beginning you sound like your singing out of key.
I'd say try taking the guitar out, or making it a lot quieter, or only have it there at times when you're not singing.
Message To The Little Boy Inside by MakenaMonk 2 years ago
Ahh this calls out to my soul!
Very touching, very captivating.
The Death of Lily's Daughter/A Town Called Hope by Williams 2 years ago
Listening to this on some proper headphones =)
'Tis still amazingly beautiful!
The Death of Lily's Daughter/A Town Called Hope by Williams 2 years ago
5

This is amazing...
So.. gentle
I'm annoyed that I can only listen to this through some pretty poor headphones at the moment.
There's so much in this and a lot of subtlety.
It feels like it's telling one big emotional story.
What is the meaning of the titles, to you?
[Wilderness] 01 In The Woods On An Ice Cold Night by darkhatred 2 years ago
Ahh, sweet sweet dissonance...
I love this, interesting and unique, I could listen to this for ages and just zone out, beautifully put together.
What Is Hate Demo 2 by SANTARII 2 years ago
Very virtuosic =)
Sadly I can't play that well, I played the left hand and right hand seperately and also recorded in super slow motion smiley
Right near the end of the intro it actually becomes impossible to play for one person as the right hand requires 2 hands to play smiley

Thankyou!

Whom God Helps instrumental by randolf 2 years ago

Just listened to this again! I closed my eyes really hard as im in a dark room and it started to get a bit scary, then it felt like the outside was getting scarier, shut my eyes really hard and it felt like i was floating in pitch black.

Kitten by TomAshcom 2 years ago

Ahh piano music.

This is really detailed.

I can't think of anything else to say.

Hmm, one critisizm, the effect on the piano, a teeny bit overdone imo, makes it sound quite bassy.
Morrowind Theme by Aafarr2 2 years ago
5

Oh my oh my. Was just searching morrowind on icomp, only 1 of them on icomps, yours!

I havent played morrowind in years, but recently started looking around for the music, so beautiful!
Im going to re-install morrowind, if i can find it...
Deffinetely incredibly unique game.

You are really amazing at this genre!

Just got new headphones, ahh, so loud, your song is really pushing into my brain, ha, I have missed headphones with both sides working!

Is it me or does this song sound purple?
Not Yet Tangible by carlajpatterson 2 years ago
5

This really calmed me, was feeling a bit agitated, but now much more peaceful. I love the philosphic words, they resonated in me, and the backing fits it so well, you have a lovely voice, soothes me for sure.
Guy Fawkes by tototoo 2 years ago

I watched V for Vendetta yesterday, good ol' Randy sent me here.
This is a nice, like robby said, i like the way the electronic sound sounds dynamitey matchy and firey.

This is great.
Seven Days of the Grime Week by randolf 2 years ago

HA! The greatest grime song in the world, tribute...
This is great, ending was hillarious.
I wonder if there is much of a grime scene around where I live...
TRANCE 101 by georgeptingley 2 years ago
Oh my god, I LOVED that melody on the keys. Didn't sound very trance-like to me, although maybe I just haven't been listening to trance...

This has a really melancholy feel, I love songs with a melancholy feel...
yes, another MJ Tribute. Sha-mon-a. by randolf 2 years ago
5

"mother******* **** **** *****" - Haha, sweargasm.
Nice, mixed with eminem.

I never believed the paedophile accusations due to a report i read about how he saw things, I never paid much attention to Michael either, I respected him for his music.

On a video I watched recently someone said that the media relied on Michael, a slow news week and they'll just find something out about him. Apparently FOX news was reporting (days after he died) that "MJ is still dead!!"...

**COVER** Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna (Requiem Theme) by BenPatterson 2 years ago
5

HAHA! I loved that film also, and the song, this is brilliant!!
A bit fuzzy in the beginning though and IMO the guitar should be a bit sharper.

Needs some percussion too, im thinking a militaristic snare fading in before the faster section, then heavy drums with a lot of cymbal during the upbeat section, also get that bit louder methinks. Then in the quiter bit after that, more advanced militaristic snare with cymbals, then going into just simple snare before the end of the song.

I wish I knew then id do it for you >:
No Idea (Alternate Take) by BenPatterson 2 years ago

Love the drums! I deffinetely think you should develop this...

Love it, awesomeness, I think the synth bass sound is a bit too loud, but love it still!
do you like bass by Lapskin 2 years ago
5

Yes.

Only gave you 4 stars on creativity, theres something missing in this, its quite repetitive, doesnt go anywhere.

Very enjoyable though! You blended all the parts together perfectly and I love the feel of this song!

fairytale by tototoo 2 years ago

Hititotoo...

I nearly cried, this song seems to speak about me, I suppose that's what we do to songs, we decide how to perceive them...

In fact I would have cried, but I find it difficult to do so, I'm practising though smiley

I didn't know you could sing, I'm glad I found out =)

Any tips for someone who can't sing but wants to learn?

darkhatred your music is superb! my god those vocals, my god that guitar, my god those drums. mmmmmmm my brain feels obese so much goodness ahh euphoria ahh!

The way youve structured this is great, I love the guitar vibrationy fading effect (you see, who needs musical terms)
there's a Zombie on your lawn! (cover with video) by randolf 2 years ago
5

I had haha's, hehe's and hoho's. I think this is the first song of a game I have heard you do and I love it! (more)

There's a zombie on my lawn, his name is Joe, his speech sounds like yawn, and he's eating his own toe...
From the looks of him, he's undead as could be,
Either that or hes had too much LSD...

Circular Minor by benjarrad 3 years ago

I love the progressiveness of this song. The effect on the guitar is quite unique. I think it should have been longer than it was, but still, well done...

Let's Get Tortured! by Clown_Stigmata 3 years ago
5

I like it, it's like a mix between dark core and heavy metal. So much fun to HB too. This would be a good song to play a zombie shooter too.
more balls by Lapskin 3 years ago
5

I agree with MIR, what a combo. I love this song, lovely ambience as well as distortion and a very hard beat, AmbiCore? The lack of melody makes this feel slightly scary, who is it, could you possibly email me the audio file of the voice in the background, the one that goes A A E O.

Hmm, I just looked outside, this music goes very well with the amount of light outside (20:15), just starting to get dark, very blue, bright yellowie orangy pink behind the trees.
I'm Free (Chinese Whispers 7) by ChineseWhispers 3 years ago
5

Ahh, nice and relaxing, reminds me of Morrocan Sunset by Joe Satriani, nice work on the guitars bass vocals and drums.

Aside from the skilled performance and compilation, I'm not really feeling this song, it's not, very, "deep"?
I'm Free (Chinese Whispers 5) by ChineseWhispers 3 years ago
5

Brilliant song, this song is taking a nice happy twist, this song reminds me of the band jj27 (I think that is their name).
I'm Free (Chinese Whispers 4) by ChineseWhispers 3 years ago
5

You have a powerful voice, I love the fullness of this song. The rhythm was great too. I love the contrast of the melancholy and happy sections.
