| With or Without You (Cover) by ramonaji | 8 days ago |
 Really really nice. Happy to hear a woman voice on this beautiful song. Perhaps had a second voice (third scale) on the refrain ? |
|
| rush by farhanwidiaxana | 9 days ago |
| Add more hihats/low-hats/cymbals to add speed, to make the music really "rushing". Reduce the drum-bass volume, I think, it's too loud. You can add a light sound, really repeteting like the hihats, just on the background to add speed. And perhaps a pad on some part, for the back ? | |
| sow my seed ( vocal free) by dirtyswine | 9 days ago |
It's a good base. I think you have to add some small sound, or a second melody to "feed" the melody, to "fill" the background. So this track can work without lyrics. |
|
| Queen of Sabbath by Digipoll | 10 days ago |
It needs more "realistic"ť instruments, with a more clear "voice"ť, but it a really good composition, really emotionnal. And why note a melancholic organ version ? |
|
| Yellowhammer by Narananda | 11 days ago |
Refreshing, floating... well done, Narananda. Is this a japanese zen garden, or the beauty of a wild nature forest ?  |
|
| Au Joli Jeu (Remastered) by dirigent | 12 days ago |
Well... lyrics are pretty old, and some of them have now another sense... But well done, dirigent ! |

| Zoomorphisms - Baby Chicks by soulima | 4 months ago |
| How to not seen this baby chicks ? Really expressive music ! Well done. | |
| Zoomorphisms - The Dragonfly by soulima | 4 months ago |
| Really "flying" track ! I love this "lightweight" ambience ! Good job ! | |
| O Padre Nostro by dirigent | 5 months ago |
Music touching soul.... No more comment needed ! |
|
| Orient Express by ShadowofNine | 5 months ago |
Using loops is sometimes a challenge, and you win this one ! You know I love oriental strings, but this one are incredible... I have to find how to do this with softwares instruments Cool track, great feeling, impressive soundscape ! |
|
| Just 4 Me by MiracleMusic | 6 months ago |
| There's a really good way to use loops on your tracks ! The only point I don't like much more is that it's quite repetitive... Perhaps adding some instruments or loops ? | |
| Ima' Fighter ft. Bostic and Mary J by MiracleMusic | 6 months ago |
This one is excellent. Nice use of loops. I prefer more "realistic" strings with a better "voice", but that's difficult to do with loops  |
|
| 1ere Gymnopedie by feenixx | 6 months ago |
| Hey ! Why I've not heard this previously ? That's one of my favorite “classical” piece... And not only because I'm frenh |
|
| BeCool-Breakfast Edition by fatchance | 6 months ago |
| Smooth, clean, and happy song I like this track |
|
| Momohksies by Robukka | 6 months ago |
Minimalistic, but really interesting ! A lot of good concept ideas. |
|
| Happy Accident by TheLightDreams | 7 months ago |
| Perhaps a bad due to the "translation" of the bass in a minor scale, but a good day for you ! Really nice... make me thinking of some oxygène or équinoxe tracks, he ? lol |
|
| ORANGE - ever lasting by ORANGEAUDIO | 8 months ago |
| WOW ! (Not the Vista effect, the Orange fx ) How do you do this ufo sound, just sounding like a theremin ! I'm looking for this type of instrument ! |
|
| Asteroids At Hyperspeed by DJPower_AKA_DJP | 8 months ago |
| Well done ! Good progression and use of bass, sfx and beat... but... i love melodies and was waiting for one... perhaps for an extended mix ? | |
| Tonight I heard your bells by LightspeedFutureLullaby | 8 months ago |
| The melody is quite "old school" at the beginning (that's not a bad thing ), but the feeling on the following parts are really groovy/lounge. Nice track. |
|
| My SK1 by LightspeedFutureLullaby | 8 months ago |
| Great ambient track. I love the bubblings sounds. Perhaps it will be greater with some pads on the background, just at some moments ? | |
| The Chase by magnatone | 8 months ago |
| Really nice ! Something of Mozart on some parts, I think, but the entire track sounds original, especially mallets part |
|
| The Thirteenth Trump by padowan_learner | 8 months ago |
| Really cool ! Soundtrack like ! Just change all your instruments to strings and timpani, and it is "Hans Zimmer" music (That's a compliment) ! |
|
| Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen Cover)/Variations by magnatone | 8 months ago |
This song is one of my favorite and I have most of the existing version (Leonard Cohen's original, guitar version, piano, U2 version and more), but your version is really incredible ! There's just a work to make on the voices of strings. However the piano and woodwinds are great ! |
|
| Egypt - Amdouat by j_livingston | 9 months ago |
| Thanks all for the comments. I like to read your comments, and more if there's something to make better music |
|
| Third by filmscoremike | 9 months ago |
Good track ! The melody, the bass and the harmonization ar really good ! However, there's a lot of things to work on : - "compress" the instrument or the entire track to make it sounds more powerful, more on front - work on the voice of the violins (they sound a bit synthetic...) : add release time, enhance the velocity For a third trak, that's really good ! Continue ! |
|
| snowfall by Mystified | 10 months ago |
How previous can be a so emotive music, just coming from the heart. I never cry, but this music make tears coming to me ! |
|
| The Endless Worlds • Open Spaces • The Dusk by j_livingston | 10 months ago |
| thank you very much for all your comments, dirigent ! I'm really happy you love my compos, just because you make really good music too ! Perhaps we'll make a collab one day ? |

|
| Symphony No. 2 in A Major 'Loss': I. Andante, con passione by Alegoo92 | 10 months ago |
| Same advice than Ciheins : that's really beautiful, but too short ! We're waiting for the "explosion" that's rising... | |
| Le Dormeur du Val by LaFayette | 11 months ago |
C'est intéressant comme adaptation ! Par contre il faudrait revoir un peu le mixage pour que la voix soit au même niveau que la musique, un peu trop effacée je pense, et rendre la voix moins étouffée (baisser les graves peut-être ?). En tout cas la réalisation globale est bien ficelée, et le “scénario” de cette musique est très bien fait ! |
|
| song for xmas by tomkelly | 11 months ago |
| Thanks for the thanks ! You're really talented, Tom, and you make music with feelings and heart : that is what is important ! (I love the mix with the multiple voices in the third part !) And just before it arrived, Merry Xmas ! |

| The Endless Worlds • The Journey by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| all > thanks all jason > Well... I am not little proud about the result, but there are much better composers than me on iComp ! |
|
| Don't give up by KCsGROOVE | 1 year ago |
Sounds great and realistic, with a clear and cool voice ! |
|
| Time to walk? by DanielLambert | 1 year ago |
Really interesting ! It looks like another World, where natural things (flowers and animals) are totally mechanical... I love this bubbling sound... something like an underwater world. Can you try to start a new song from the final synth we heard, and make something similar but "smoother" ? |
|
| Tango sous la pluie by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| Wow ! You comments faster than your shadow, dirigent ! |
|
| He's a Pirate (Klaus Badelt Cover) by herrsolera | 1 year ago |
| Really cool ! I love this music, and the two others soundtracks are better than better ! It's really close to the original, but I think that you can, for make it better : - make it more powerful - add bass (bass and deep horns are not enough there, i think) - make the "crash" cymbal really "crashing" and the horns crescendo more "crescending", and the drums more louder that's the secret of this track i think Good good good job ! If you have time, perhaps can you try the new theme of POTC 3 ? |
|
| Tomorrow by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| > RoarForge & MKVX : thanks for the congratulations > Tomkelly : gongoputch is working on it to add a lead instrument ; just after that, it would be really cool if you can add lyrics ! When it's ok for gongoputch, I contact you to follow the project |
|
| HARRY POTTER THEME!! by metfan31 | 1 year ago |
That's a good electro version Nice play.(But be careful with copyright...) |
|
| Stone stage by TadashiTogawa | 1 year ago |
I love the way you use drums, percussions and guitars ! It makes me think about the Cirque du Soleil music. Really good ! From World to Jazz. |
|
| Walk down a Crooked Street by Atoll | 1 year ago |
Refreshing ! really nice An happy song |
|
| The Fog Rolls In by chchaisson | 1 year ago |
| A good production, but it sounds like something i've yet heard... A movie with ghosts, or some part of the Lord Of The Ring OST. | |
| The Classical Choir by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for comments jasonhunwick, "Derivative works allowed on iCompositions only" = you can try all type of style with this background, why not hip-hop ? Try perhaps a complete song with R and B lyrics and a great hip-hop beat ? |
|
| Production Logo Theme by dcoscina | 1 year ago |
Mysterious, and epic, indeed ! Good, short, production. But i prefer the bass on the end instead of the horns Well done. |
|
| You Are The Sun - Songs of Summer Contest by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for the comments, Vegetal, Dirigent and GhostRiders3 I was trying to do this (making vocals louder), but i've not a good mic (i use the integrated mic of my MacBook Pro...), and i haven't find the way to increase the volume more than this... |
|
| on the wind. by TadashiTogawa | 1 year ago |
"On the wind" ? What's for another name for this "flying" guitar ? Peaceful, quiet, relaxing track. 5 stars for this one |
|
| Funky dancing by TadashiTogawa | 1 year ago |
Hey ! Groovy and funky ! That's not the style i love, but it's musically a good track ! |
|
| -SG2-A Demoness Smothers Twilight Beauty by DavidBowles | 1 year ago |
One of the style I love : something like a movie soundtrack, with world sounds... plus a modern background feeling. Well done David ! |
|
| Tell Me I'm Wrong by nanabeaux | 1 year ago |
As Barretok says, really beautiful voice. Hope we will collaborate on a track one day |
|
| Angels and Demons by nanabeaux | 1 year ago |
That's a really peaceful song. Your voices fit perfectly together. Perhaps can you try another version by adding a violins section fill, or -better- a solo cello ? |
|
| Se Tu M'ami by nanabeaux | 1 year ago |
Simple, clean, ... pure ! Good job. Music and lyrics are all from you ? |
|
| Imaginary Time by Sheth | 1 year ago |
A really good piece. If you don't know, try to listen to the artist "Yann Tiersen", a french artist playing piano, accordeon, and other incredible instruments (piano toy, children toys, etc.). Nice done. As Eidolonia says, there can be another end, perhaps more with "fill". |
|
| Waiting Heart by k6 | 1 year ago |
Hey guy : call now Ridley Scott or Peter Jackson to make the soundtrack of there next films ! As 4arms says, that's a good piece for a movie scene. |
|
| The Lamb by hutchk | 1 year ago |
Very clean, crystal-clear voices, with a well done arrangement. It sounds "traditionnal" in the mood, but very modern in the style ! 5 stars song |
|
| Southbound Train - remix by gongoputch | 1 year ago |
Only loops, but really good progression ! That's a work to do something really good with only loops ! I love this one to |
|
| Chinese Bells by KillTheHigh5 | 1 year ago |
Hey, that's a good one ! But i think that's more like indonesian gamelan than chinese bell. It inspires me something like indonesian shadow play show This old keyboard is always a good one |
|
| Wave - final mix by gongoputch | 1 year ago |
Really nice ! I've just a doubt with vibraslap, which make's a "frog" sound with the other instruments behind Guitars are really good played ! I love this acoustic feeling |
|
| Oceanus Procellarum by hutchk | 1 year ago |
I love this sweet, nostalgic melody ! And that's incredible "bubbling" sound There is an incredible power on this track maintained from the beginning to the end. That's a different style of world music, but i love it to Thanks Keith. That's a real pleasure to listen to you. |
|
| the three superpowers of light, might and rights by BlackLily | 1 year ago |
Impossible to stay in place ! My head move without my will, and my foot beat the floor ! And this small touch of guitar (or organ ?) and voice is excellent ! 5 stars track. |
|
| Lilac Smell by BlackLily | 1 year ago |
There's a good base Can i participate ? But I prevent that it could be really different...Most of the work must be on the background atmosphere I think. |
|
| Espérance by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| Thanks for your comments, dirigent. In fact, I have to precise that the women voice is my voice, but with some filters But it was just the effects i want to have with it. As you can hear, that's the first time I use guitar... |
|
| O holy night (for my icomp friends) by Leahbanicki | 1 year ago |
Purity, peace, joy... what for a voice, girl ! Incredible. Hope you'll become a great international voice (don't forget to go in France !  ) ! |
|
| SMOKIN' BLUES (Blues # 10. ) by Barretok | 1 year ago |
Not good to smoke, but this song is incredible. The deepness of Barretok just fit good with the instruments and this awesome guitar lead. A good point too for the bass for me |
|
| Amazing Grace by hutchk | 1 year ago |
If think you've re-written this track like it must be : a message of peace, that everyone on earth, all cultures, all locations, can give and receive. I sing it on a Gospel Choir, but generally it is interpreted for the sad moment, the burials. You gave this music his true direction. Thanks for this tracks. |
|
| On the way by hutchk | 1 year ago |
The ambience is there. Good instrument, good vocals. I like the use of space too. Really good job, by the way, it's from Hutchk ! The mix between "earth" instruments (didjeridoo) and piano with drums is excellent. |
|
| Brave Heart theme (by James Horner) by icanzilb | 1 year ago |
Very nice done. I hope movie soundtracks Just like ciheins says, a bit digital. Try more realistic bagpipes, like the one on World Pack. |
|
| Evert Goodbye by janneman1952 | 1 year ago |
Good. The cellos (or bass ?) sounds at sometimes like a loop of GB files... I don't remember which one, but it's pretty familiar in my ear I probably would have add a "background" in the passage with the basson, cello, piano, etc. to give more life to the track. |
|
| Ma Julieta by dirigent | 1 year ago |
Really interesting, never heard something like that. Sadly it's too short for me Great work on voices, indeed. Even if i can translate a part of lyrics without knowing english, english translation would be welcome .Well done, really happy song |
|
| The Alliance by violinist | 1 year ago |
Well, that's a better sounding mix. A compliment : it's sounds like Harry Gregson-Williams ("Kingdom Of Heaven" OST, "Narnias' Chronicles" OST, etc.). The final sound is really good placed |
|
| Concert Piece by violinist | 1 year ago |
One of my favorite of yours ! I really like this bass sound, and the strings section on the back really sounds good (great expression, great variations, etc.). My comment, perhaps to make it better than better : I was just hoping you make a more powerful and longer cymbal transition to introduce the final part, and more powerful horns and fiddle. The percussion are too far perhaps for me ('can try "bagad" style with a more present snare ?).On the transitionnal part, you can add a glockenspiel or xylophone, or something percussive like that, just a few note to "feed" the transition. Mh... i've just went on a concert yesterday night, with a philarmonic orchestra and an english male choir, so perhaps i have to much inspiration |
|
| the fool by rinca | 1 year ago |
I don't know how to make a bad comment or a criticism on this track ! So good. Real creativity on drums and on this special effects that looks reversed. Perhaps adding some times a second female voice with a third scale ? |
|
| Sunburst by Bluepulse | 1 year ago |
Nice nice nice ! It makes me think to this old-good Robert Miles musics, with the "dream" piano and snare... Well done. Perhaps in some parts too much hi-hats or snares, but it's not hurting me |
|
| Osiris by j_livingston | 1 year ago |
| Yes sure there're some tracks which are very similar in the architecture and use of instruments Thanks to link me to him |
|
| Once upon a time (Part 2 - The Curse) by dirigent | 1 year ago |
There are very good ideas in this second episode... I'm waiting for the next Really different, not so much medieval, but why note ? Narrating with instruments is difficult, and you do this so good ! |
|
| Once upon a time (Part 1 - The Magic Castle) by dirigent | 1 year ago |
| Well... there was a bug during submission, so i just rate this track here |
|
| Once upon a time (Part 1 - The Magic Castle) by dirigent | 1 year ago |
| Well done, dirigent. Not a boring second, well mixed. I just regret that instruments sounds pretty synthetic... And just perhaps on some moments the other elements (not the melody) are too sweet, too much in the background. But a good composition ! For sure. |

| Spirit of the Great One by hutchk | 1 year ago |
Lyrics with this type of voice expression let me think about "Deep forest" music. Sure you're talented. If you can, try to listen to "Pacifique", an album of Deep Forest from 2000. Sure you will know why i hear something like your's Good Job |
|
| Sega du Soleil by hutchk | 1 year ago |
| Mh... what does it mean "Sega du Soleil" ? | |
| India by Narananda | 1 year ago |
Merci pour la dédicasse En écoutant ton morceau, je pense qu'en fait tu fais réellement de la World Music au sens exact du terme, et que mon morceau India est plus du genre New Age. C'est parfait, tantôt puissant, tantôt apaisé. C'est vrai qu'on s'y croirait. Mes félicitations |
|
| Aeternus by violinist | 1 year ago |
Realy amazing. Good Job, as you probably ever do when you release a track here ! A small doubt : isn't it a "can" sound on instrument in the beginning (due to mp3 compression perhaps ?). |
|
| Concert Piece 3 by violinist | 1 year ago |
Sure it's a really good one. Mixing, performing, arranging... all is all right in this music. Some horns arrangements make me think of "Gladiator" OST, and the flut and violin something like "The Lion King" (from the same composer...). But it's just "sounds like", it's an original music On the other hand with imagination, i can see something like the end of a Pirate movie, or something Epic to. Good job. |
|
| The Journey by general_looper | 1 year ago |
Very cool. I love it. I just give 5 stars, but this what i will have done if i do it : > more powerful bass pad sound (just because the synthetic effects on the beginning stay to present while bass pad is played). Some parts sounds like JMJarre (Equinoxe, something like that) : really impressive. Good Job. |
|
| The Dynasty by aalmoore | 1 year ago |
Yes this one is really impressive ! Amazing drums, cool melody. Nice. 5 stars track |
|
| Theremin Prelude by aalmoore | 1 year ago |
That's really interesting. But i've just a doubt : i think real theremins can't have a so powerful attack. Due to the fact you have to move your hands too rapidly, i think that's not possible. The melody and the overall strange ambiance stay unique, good job aalmoore ! Hope to hear another "theremin" piece |
|
| complaint by Narananda | 1 year ago |
 I agree with Ciheins. It's a good composition, but the strings have too much attack. I think you have to work on it with expression, to add variations and more realistic feel. I give 5 stars to concept and creativity. It's a nice melody. Juste something else : can you explain why you choose "complaint" as title ? |
|
| The Last Migration by pgreenstone | 1 year ago |
A really nice piece. A good one. Just a thing i would have done another way : the strings (violins) on the peaceful moment can be more present. I think they are not enough powerful, and not "scratching" slowly on the string. But all the rest is really good. Congratulations. |
|
| Indifferent Drum (Peter Gabriel) by CharlyDeeCynthius | 1 year ago |
One word : Incredible ! |
|
| Saltarello by MOVIE | 1 year ago |
Something medieval for me, due to the choice of instruments. But it can be a french "Roi Soleil" music if it use other one Good job, just like it has to be. |

| Lost Tracks 02 - Hey Dj (Dance Baby) Feat. Neil Younger by iamopen | 1 year ago |
What's a nice peace oOo ! Good mix, good performance... I love the light pad sound on the background ! And what for voices ! Really good. |
