| Limitless (Feat NeoArmada on Violin and Olympus on Trombone) by olympus | 10 days ago |
 I think this is my favorite of the trio. I had no idea you played the trombone, and sounding very proficient with it as well. I also really love the inclusion of a violin part. It's interesting that this does have a soundtrack vibe, but it's also chill and meditative. Man...I wish I had/could play an instrument! The keyboard's been gettin' dull with me and it probably thinks the same of me. Though ironically I'm really really hoping to acquire an accordion one day...anyways, a very interesting combo here. Great music! |

Innovation! YES! Wonderful playfulness. |

| @padowan_learner Application: Reason The plugins that I used were the NN-XT Advanced Sampler library and Maelstrom synth things...I'm not good at being technically correct. |

| A Touch of Steam by padowan_learner | 11 days ago |
Yeeessss. Even with your 'subpar digital instrument palette' and other such constraints you say, this sounds really good and is very catchy. The humdrum riffraff of a steampunk world, a march of steam workers whose labor is monotonous and neverending. I think I personally would have added some reverb to give it a dark deepness, but the beat and the mechanisteam noises sort of counter that a bit. A wonderful soundtrack-like composition! |

| Soliloquy, for Piano and Saxophone by Alegoo92 | 16 days ago |
Breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. That saxophone is ripping gashes through my heart. It's jazzy bathed in a melancholia I barely ever hear anywhere else. At least, I'm initially detecting sorrow, but I can also see it as the humdrum of life, which is sorrowful too. I'm loving the instrumentation a lot. I'm loving the point about half way in where the piano and saxophone sound as if they are fighting each other. A clash of thoughts that weave together and simmer down for the end. The breathiness of the sax at the end is lovely, symbolic, I think, of losing one's breath or willpower. Stunning and beautiful song here. Masterful work. |

| Pretty Polly - from The Beggars Opera by ihussain | 17 days ago |
| Oh! I like the injection of your voice! It's very soothing and magical. Don't know the original, but it's sounding like it came from the highlands of Ireland or something :l Nice work! | |
| Hide and seek by Manuconde | 25 days ago |
| I was a tiny skeptical at first, I don't know why. But then everything changed quickly and it sounded beautiful. Great work. A very short theme unfortunately. I would have loved for it to go on. | |
| The Despair Of Marquis by ZipZipper | 1 month ago |
| @RubyDubidoux That would be awkward. :l | |
| I Remember You by getken | 1 month ago |
| I'm seeing that all of your music is stuff recorded live from your local gigs? That is absolutely wonderful that you do that. Firstly, you have some outstanding recording equipment. And keeping the outside noises makes me feel like I'm somewhere else...it's really pleasant. You could make a great album. Maybe have some with vocals and lyrics. You do excellent work! | |
| The Despair Of Marquis by ZipZipper | 1 month ago |
| @olympus I liked the movie. I thought there were deeper meanings in it, masked by the outlandishness. It's something I'd suggest if you're open-minded and philosophically obscure. | |
| Thinking by dmorales | 1 month ago |
...so do you sing? Would be neat to hear some vocal play. You make great little ditties that would be nice with even just a hum or la la. Maybe even expand your ditties into some solid full-length pop. Pleasant little work.  |

| Introduction to The Midnight Foundation by JoelGoffin | 1 month ago |
Oh my God...when the music transitioned into being in the sky...I died. This tells an intriguing story that has only just begun. What is the Midnight Foundation? And where are they taking me? Man, I wish you didn't fade it out like that! I WAS REALLY GETTING INTO IT. |

| Bad Guy Gang by ZipZipper | 1 month ago |
| @randolf Yes. | |
| Violet by vegetal | 1 month ago |
Jeez, this is so perfectly catchy and progressive. Excellent club music. |
|
| Wind Chimes by Narananda | 1 month ago |
| Excellent sounds. Crafted with an elegant precision. An ambient mood that isn't just a low background drone. It keeps to being upbeat and ever-turning. I think people who want to do ambient styles should be learning from you. Yours is a direction that isn't boring. It can cleverly stay in the background while also being something to deeply analyze by itself. Excellent work. | |

| The After Life Symphony Part 4 of 10 by JoelGoffin | 1 month ago |
This series is almost too much to handle...I wish I could get started on playing with the tools and plugins you use so I could start learning. This is more driving than the previous parts, and I really enjoy that. But just to be really inspective, the series so far is very in-the-box to me; generic. I mean, it's what the people love, and I think that's all that matters with music. I'm just not so easily pleased, so I hope the next etchings evolve into something...stranger. But you are masterful at this either way. Bravo. |
|
| Snake Charmer's Waltz by bob1230 | 1 month ago |
| Charming. The instrumentation is a little strange to me, in accordance to the melodies, but it fits with a snake charmer theme. It might fit more with some percussive sounds, like a low drum sting and some tambourine taps. That would probably make it more gypsy-like. Well, nice job! |
|
| The After Life Symphony Part 3 of 10 by JoelGoffin | 1 month ago |
It seems to always be with more simple music that the greatest emotions can be envisioned and felt. I am getting extremely powerful imagery from this. Beyond most other atmospheric music of this nature. Like...wow. Someone's last moments. Whether it be to death or a simple see-you-later. This is so wonderfully melancholic. Marvelous work. |

| The Marathon Of Monkeys by ZipZipper | 2 months ago |
| @Strigidae That will perhaps be the same time at which Burton should retire. | |
| The Marathon Of Monkeys by ZipZipper | 2 months ago |
| @Strigidae He's got Elfman. | |
| Ark by anitric2000 | 2 months ago |
Epic. I think the percussion is okay, but I can also understand why you aren't happy with it. This is certainly a big orchestral thing. Nice job. |
|
| Don't Rain on my Parade by ihussain | 2 months ago |
| Very nice. A hint of darkness and a splash of adventure. It's a little empty to me, but the melody really captures my attention anyways. | |
| Psalm 67 by schubertiad | 2 months ago |
YEESH. Excellency! Diverse harmonies. Perfect voice. Overall a wonderfully pleasant listen. |
|
| Amazing Grace (acapella) by IbanezDude321 | 2 months ago |
| mmmmMMMMMMM sing at me every night. | |
| Let's Get Together (and prove each other wrong) by thenownows | 2 months ago |
Smooooooth. Soft. Alternapop indeed...an old school aura with a new age or modern spice. Much space. Perhaps even in space. Choice of sounds is perfect and one thing doesn't overpower the other. Truly masterful songwriting. |
|
| Abandoned by ShadowofNine | 2 months ago |
| At the beginning, I was wondering how this was gonna be pop. But then it changed into a nice, strange, wispy thing. Reminds me a little of this one song called Inside Your Head. Really really like those vocals. They fit perfectly. Excellent dreamy pop. | |
| Walk With Me by ihussain | 2 months ago |
Sounds like there could be a voice part over this. Like a song some character sings in a Disney movie. Waaalk with meee and we can seee the world in waaays unknooown!!! I don't know. Goodbye. |
|
| You by brassgospelguy | 2 months ago |
| Excellent. I like this kind of clash between the soft piano and the vocoder effect of the voice. I really like that effect by the way. Seems a little unsettling that it ends abruptly, but I think it's understandable. It's neat how you can interpret this as either hopeless romantic or serious melancholy. Overall, short, sweet, and to the point. Beautiful work. | |
| Joga [Bjork cover] by Stebbo | 3 months ago |
| Excellent piano accompaniment. Your voice fits perfectly. I especially like when you get those deeply wonderful harmonies. Those parts were really uplifting. Great work! That makes two covers of this song on icomp... | |
| Memories and Mountain Dew acapella nr1. by AdamStolterman | 3 months ago |
| First try? Oh wow. That's really good. You have a nice voice and your harmony is perfect. What else is there to say? | |
| spads at dawn by woofer3 | 4 months ago |
Pleasantly sprightly on lovely retro synths. I think it's better like this than for piano. Perhaps a string trio or some combination of string and woodwind. Very nice stuff! |
|
| Tutku . Meric Sumen by ozgurcanalkan | 4 months ago |
Wow! Very world-like and ethereal. That wind instrument is very beautiful. Sounds like a melodica or something, but I'm probably wrong. This reminds me a little bit of the music from an old PC puzzle game called Pandora's Box and it had a lot of world music with a soft, upbeat flare, like this. Wow...I'm still kind of awed by this. So many subtle sounds all mixing together so nicely. I love this. Great work! |
|
| Pyramid Head Theme (Sound Design) by DJ_Siatt | 4 months ago |
Wow! That's a very top-notch soundscape. It is definitely much cooler hearing it through headphones since you can decipher the awesome panning. The siren sounds almost exact to the one in the Silent Hill movie. And Pyramid Head is just so attractive <3 Great work! |

| The Procession Into The Lough by ZipZipper | 4 months ago |
| @randolf I was going to put Loch, but then I thought it was too mainstream *hipster glasses* | |
| When I Fall by Joanna222 | 4 months ago |
| I just wanted to say that this has got to be one of my all-time favorite songs. Still gives me this wonderful and strange chill every time it comes up. Thank you again for sharing this fantastic song. | |
| Orchestral Party Mix by PaulWilkins | 4 months ago |
| I kind of imagine someone singing lyrics over this, but standalone it is really, really cool. Man, I wish this fusion style of electronic and orchestral was more pop-music-on-the-radio type of thing, and I mean that just instrumentals. Because I, for one, appreciate good backtracks and instrumentals more than lyrical work, and this is catchy. Nice work! | |
| Marco Frydshou & La Ville - Snow On Tasmanian Cedars by MrChicago | 4 months ago |
Worldly and quite epic. That vox is superb. The low steel drums adds an interesting texture. Everything just sounds so professional. I'm thinking there's many different types of styles in this piece, but they mold together so well that a passerby wouldn't even notice. Excellent work! |
|
| Reason Y (Redo) by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| @olympus: NO. That's the only way I sound remotely okay at singing! | |
| Sunday Afternoon Sketch by ScottHorwath | 5 months ago |
The opening mislead me into thinking it would be a very melancholy piece, but then it turned into more of a mystery. The unusual feeling of the humdrum. Like longing for that escape but having no idea how to leave it without damage. This is an extremely ponderous piece with strange harmonies that keep hammering their existence into the mind of the listener. I really like how it ends. Marvelous piano work here in one of my favorite time signatures. Brilliance. |
|
| Earth : Our home. by shadesofdown | 5 months ago |
It feels comfortable. I was listening to it without even knowing that I was listening, that's how comfortable it felt. Very nice ambient noises and such. And all the instruments sound perfect with each other. Great work! |
|
| Hay Hop by Xolv | 5 months ago |
So EXTREMELY inventive. It could add to a scenery various dimensions of emotion. It sounds very complex with its many, many, many different sounds. There's just a lot of subtle sounds to listen for that keep the piece moving so effortlessly. This has got to be some of the most creative work here. Excellent job!!! |
|
| The Intermission On Piano by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| @soulima the Mac webcams be stewpid. | |
| Marching To the Colosseum (Film Score) by PaulWilkins | 5 months ago |
Filmic indeed. I like the dissonant background strings that sort of come and go throughout. The sound and mood is perfection. Wonderful work! |
|
| Metaphor (The Story) by ZipZipper | 6 months ago |
| @pharmakeus AAAHHH I get it now. Thank you. That is quite an interesting interpretation. | |
| Metaphor (The Story) by ZipZipper | 6 months ago |
| @pharmakeus Inventive, very nice. I'm not sure if that's a jab at the man character or a jab at the author LOL. Please, correct me if I'm off. | |
| Metaphor (The Story) by ZipZipper | 6 months ago |
| @RubyDubidoux Yes I created the metaphor. | |
| Inflatable Madness by ZipZipper | 6 months ago |
| @RubyDubidoux The whole piece is transposed a few tones higher, but overall I am actually singing that in falsetto. | |
| Autumn Pastoral Eb by jptiptonsr | 6 months ago |
A trance most majestic and captivating. So very very flowing as it falls in. I like the other noises actually. To me, it gives the sense of realness to the piece. Beautiful work here. |
|
| Crazy cats by mikerocky | 6 months ago |
I like this. A little country and I'm hearing maybe a little jazz flavor too. Whatever could be added to this could change the piece in either direction, but hearing how its's kind of neutral in between these two genres is pleasantly interesting. Nice work! |

| And then I read the message you just sent two seconds ago. | |
| Come, little children - instr. - HOCUS POCUS by ihussain | 6 months ago |
Yes. One of my favorite films and favorite songs. A charming little rendition, but no voice to accompany it? :c |

| Actually Airborne by ZipZipper | 6 months ago |
| @Axelbreeze Get over my voice you little 14 year-old fangirl! | |
| Speaking Simlish by Stygian_White | 7 months ago |
Oh! This is neat. It's just a tiny bit twisted from the Sims sound, giving it an authentic, upbeat, ethereal flavor. If only it could've gone on more. :c Great job! |
|
| The Young Ones by Ninaballerina | 7 months ago |
Truthful and powerful. In a fully deep state of mind. I agree that there should be some more instruments to add some variety, some kind of soulful solo. What a lovely song to the other side of the coin, the side that I believe most people ignore. |
|
| Chill by Manuconde | 7 months ago |
OH! This is splendid. Everything sounds so magically real. This definitely has that eerie suspense, something like a walk through the neighborhood at night. Wonderful work. |
|
| The Lowdown (Reggae beat meets ominous orchestra) by dcoscina | 7 months ago |
Well what you got out of the crashfest is really cool. An epic sleuth story. I sort of imagine a dark fight scene in a movie. Would be cool to see chillish music like this set along to fast-paced imagery. Great work! |
|
| When I Fall by Joanna222 | 7 months ago |
Smooth, pretty, sparkly, motivated, a touch melancholy, this piece holds together. Magnificent music making. Truly a beauty. Your 'oooh-oooooh-pen wide' gave me a little chill. One of those wow-that's--stunning-and-fits-beautifully kind of chill. |
|
| Photogenic by andrenookadu | 8 months ago |
aaaaAAAWWWWT. PHOTOGENIC. I'm really groovin to this. This is great, pretty professional sounding. Definitely for today's pop music. Nice work! |
|
| Call of Istanbul by imadesentana | 8 months ago |
Perfect exotic, worldly feel. I'm also wondering if that's you singing. It all sounds so real and well done. Very beautiful music. |
|
| Doubl time by paulflute | 8 months ago |
Ahh beautiful. The inclusion of the accordion is just magnificent. It sort of tricks you at the beginning, or at least to me. Wonderful folk music! |
|
| Banjotron by TibeQ | 8 months ago |
OhhhHHH! I like this. Reminds me a little of the music from Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Intriguing madness happening here. Very entertaining to me. |
|
| FameLife (Italo Remix) by Axelbreeze | 8 months ago |
| I'd love to hear this on the radio. Or just somewhere for just dancing. Would be great. I love the sync of the beat to the vocals, it's a perfect new pop sound. | |
| Horrors On the Way by WilliamChampagne | 8 months ago |
Not typically what I go looking to listen to, but this is really catchy. And to think you can get the same groove as an entire band that has drum kits, leads, basses and maybe even keyboards. Goes to show that you can make fantastic music without hundreds of gadgets going on at the same time. To me it has a cool oldies feel, your smooth voice adds to that. Great music here! |
|
| tinwhistle crazy by painfaker | 8 months ago |
Hmm...I like this a lot. It's got a soft Celtic waltz feel that's nicely interrupted by the tin whistle, which adds some quirky flavor. I think it would be good with drums at some point. Great song! |
|
| Army Of Clowns by ZipZipper | 8 months ago |
| @SteveScott huh...I meant that I thought it was too quiet. My teenage ears are the caliber of a 70-year old I guess. I NEED MOAR LOUD. | |
| Anathema by PatriciaGirl | 8 months ago |
Great improvisation of sorts. The keys and chords you're stepping through are very interesting to hear together. Melancholy, anxious and also a bit jittery. Wonderful solo piano. Congrats on finding iComp, it certainly is the perfect place for someone like you. Keep on tappin' that piano! |
|
| Joga (Cover) by Babblelove | 8 months ago |
| Ahhh I love this song. What nice, soft vocals. Very different hearing this not in Bjork's uniquely harsh tone. It's flowing in its own way apart from the original, which I find interesting because her music is also extremely flowing. You managed to find a way that's different but has the same effect. Kind of glitchy like it's an industrial remix. Cool stuff. | |
| "ChocolateVille" by abzwork | 8 months ago |
How very very intriguing and innovative. A combination of sounds that gives off an atmosphere much different than I've ever heard before. Beautiful live jazz feel that is perfectly interrupted by the industrial beat. The many breaks through out the piece kept me guessing. It's like a comfortable anxiety. |
|
| FURIOUS in C MAJOR by JoelGoffin | 8 months ago |
Absolute beauty crafted from the ravages of anger, at least that's what I'm assuming when you say you had to blow off some steam. I only wish the thought could be expanded upon more, but as is such emotion it comes and goes very quickly in some cases. Lovely string sounds and I think this would really be C minor. I mean...it's not happy sounding, but it makes me happy. |
|
| The House - Zelda: Ocarina of Time by MarcHumpert | 9 months ago |
| You've made me realize what a splendid tune this is...it's simple complexities sound more miniscule when not payed attention to carefully. I think that inclusion of the French horn sounded...out of place, but the harp piece at the end countered it I guess. A charming rendition to a classic song. | |
| Mute It by vegetal | 9 months ago |
What is with you and this great club musiccc??? |
|
| Marimba Duo by Unreasoning | 9 months ago |
How excellently mystical and progressive. And through the sound of just one instrument. Would love to see live players crazily tinker this piece out. I just love how there's a slow up and down feeling that occurs through out the piece that eventually ends in a brilliant climax. Wonderful work! |
|
| Slugeop by Unreasoning | 9 months ago |
How interesting. The journey plays out so nicely and...crawls slowly and slimy like the slug. Very captivating and colorful with a strange aura of interest. |
|
| Waltz in C# minor by ScottHorwath | 9 months ago |
Ah yes I recognize this piece. A lovely waltz. Seems very complicated, to me. Great job on playing the complexities! |
|
| Going Orchestral by alexmaschke | 9 months ago |
| Gosh there's just so much going on in this...I don't think I can keep up! Excellent sounds, variations, styles, instruments, it's all just great! | |
| Aha! (Cover) by ZipZipper | 9 months ago |
| @ScottHorwath originally by Imogen Heap? Though I do love Take On Me. | |
| Requiem Naked Ambition by JoelGoffin | 10 months ago |
That was very nice and also a tad eerie. I love the sounds of choir. A perfect combination, though not something I would envision as a requiem for July, but awesome nonetheless. Great music! |
|
| In Front by vegetal | 10 months ago |
| Groovy, chill, progressive, and classy. | |
| The Last Newscast by ZipZipper | 10 months ago |
| @Trevs I'm glad someone mentioned the car horn beeps because there is some inner debate and I totally agree that it's kind of upsetting to the rest of the piece yet also sort of fits in. | |
| Damage by solovey | 10 months ago |
| I like this. In my opinion, I don't think the beat is necessary for the beginning part with the hardcore cello ripping. It just makes the piece go out of place since the cello sounds like it's going off on its own. But it's very creative that you utilized an almost solo cello piece to accompany a high speed car scene. A fabulous take on something that usually has a different style of music to go along with it. | |
| Dance With Your Neighbour by ben777 | 10 months ago |
I really really enjoyed this. I kinda wish there was a more set beat, but the different tempos you've got going on that still hold together, especially that end one that's fast-paced, are just fantastic. The use of these samples in a sort of odd percussion is excellent and a type of style I want to strive to. And the overall quirkiness with the strong minor, sort-of piano march and the creepy laughter is so pleasing to my ear. This is not only something I really really liked but also something I'd love to do myself. Great work here! |
|
| Starfox - At Last My Father Can Rest by Setu_Firestorm | 10 months ago |
The production sounds so full, like an actual orchestra. What a great rendition to a classic. Your orchestration here is flawless. |
|
| Soul Upon The Self, Supposed. by Oddity007 | 10 months ago |
Oh what a lovely little waltz! I wish it could have been expanded on more, it was beginning to sound nicely mystical and wildly whimsical. And Ivy's voice is perfect for such a strange occasion. |
|
| Once upon a time by ihussain | 10 months ago |
| Interesting instrumentation. It sounds like a strange story to be set. | |
| Bubbles' Bursting by abzwork | 10 months ago |
Hmmm...I like this a lot. I really love the guitar melody and the jazzy piano. I think it could have expanded more but overall this is pretty solid stuff. |
|
| On a Sunday Afternoon by mabdon | 10 months ago |
| Your voice is mesmerizing. And the overall structure of this song is definitely catchy like a pop tune. The message in the lyrics is also very nice and simple yet complex. An excellent piece here. A chart-topper |
|

| Tree by ScottHorwath | 11 months ago |
Your piano playing is just always so brilliant and emotionally invoking. There's like a never-ending well of talent spewing forth from your fingertips. Excellent music. |
|
| Explorers - with piano by mlpbadarak | 11 months ago |
| Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The reverb of a cathedral makes anything sound magical. I especially enjoy it on that piano, it makes the sound of it heavenly and obscure. Amazing voices as well. Magnificent work! | |
| Static, Please by Curran_P | 11 months ago |
Wow. Crazy vocals going on here. I especially like near the end with that other introduced beat that then leads to that cute demented lullaby ending. Very creative and intense lyrics. Excellent work. |
|
| Hold it Against me (new Cover) by PrinceHabibou | 11 months ago |
Excellent acoustic cover! Your voice is unique and lovely to listen to. Would be interesting to hear something like dubstep strumming for that part in the song. Great job! |
|
| MOZARTvsSUPERMARIO by moffFROMyork | 11 months ago |
Very, very cool. The synths you use sound really cool together. The progression through out the song is excellent as well. I thought by the title you were going to mix in a Mario tune as well, but I understand now. Great work here! |
|
| Athena by BarryMitchell | 11 months ago |
A bit waltzy. That cello makes it push forward oh so nicely. Great work! |
|
| Fast Train by BarryMitchell | 11 months ago |
This sounds like an alternate interpretation of one of your previous pieces...Labyrinth was the name. I think this has a more "travel" feel to it, like the title. The drive in this is fantastic. Excellent work. |
|
| On an ordinary day by MrChicago | 11 months ago |
Truly chilling and scary. Magnificent sounds going on here. |

| Grandma's House Suite by MrChicago | 11 months ago |
Beautiful, eerie, filmic music. This is just so excellent. The music that I enjoy the most. Thank you for putting this up. |

| Reunion by ScottHorwath | 11 months ago |
To me, it sounds like someone should be singing something about love along with this. But as always, your piano playing holds itself on its own stunningly. Great job. |
