| thats a lot of creative energy. The only thing I didn't really like was the drums (Which is a loop I used to use a ton). The horns and rest of the song sound great! Tweak those sounds man to get some more realistic horns! | |
| Echo Reality- for Orchestra and Synths by dcoscina | 2 days ago |
| nice. this was a great listen! | |
| Why ? by PaulWilkins | 2 days ago |
| very pretty and solemn and a very nice tribute. I like the flow of the entire piece, especially the woodwinds. | |
| Swirling Red Vapor by RMulholland | 2 days ago |
| I like the feel a lot. has an 80s sort of sound. the random little sprinkles of sound are excellent. the choir type of chorus line is great. I also really enjoyed the piano parts which almost sound hectic, throwing the piece in a new direction. One thing with all your pieces that is on the con side are the drums. I feel like you can change them up a lot more and also kick them further up in the mix. never fear drums. I hear a lot of hihat and a little snare, but like no kick drum. Its there, I know, but I miss it sometimes. |

| Sky Diving (Radio Edit) by Axelbreeze | 7 days ago |
| I like this one better than the UK version. Softer. | |
| Limitless (Feat NeoArmada on Violin and Olympus on Trombone) by olympus | 11 days ago |
| @ZipZipper , haha, yeah, I play on a couple things here on icomp. If its a jazz tune on iComp, I probably play trombone on it. Take a look some time. Thanks for the compliments. Playing an instrument is a great extra way to experience music. I also think its one of the reasons I get a realistic horn sound with my pieces (Both since I can play it and know how it sounds), but also can double the parts I write with my own horn. | |
| The Impossible Heap by TeuthisGalore | 11 days ago |
| weird. almost angry. definitely cool. | |
| Pierrot by ZipZipper | 11 days ago |
| very nice my friend. I like the sounds reason is putting out. If you'd not said anything about it not being GB I prob wouldn't ahve noticed. | |
| The Bell Is Ringing by bigdaddycee | 11 days ago |
| holy crap. this is awesome! Great vocals and nice production. great acoustics. | |
| Summer Rain - Belinda Carlisle (cover) by ihussain | 15 days ago |
| very pretty. nothing to add here my friend. | |
| The Monster & The Bird by 8MonthMalfunction | 15 days ago |
| awesome. I like the description of how you made the track. that was really neat. the final mix sounds great considering the way it was produced! | |
| Ancestral Voices by AngeloDolci | 15 days ago |
| this sounds very pretty. if you could work the instrumentation to make it sound more realistic it would be superb! | |
| Driven (Unfinished) Mastered by Toveco by QuillPen | 15 days ago |
| I would like to see a more grooving bassline that really pushes the tempo along. the guitar is great sounding in my cans. | |
| Stargazer by ChrisComet1 | 15 days ago |
| I have solid headphones and picked it up. It was just the right touch there. pumping it made the difference. if it was quiet I'd get only treble and it'd be alright, but at the louder volume I can get all the intricate lines of sound. | |
| Peg (Steely Dan cover) by grathy | 27 days ago |
| Great cover! Right on! | |
| Zipper's Amateur Voice Demo by ZipZipper | 1 month ago |
| Hahaha, you did all these voices? Polly needs to learn how to work the door a bit more! You seem to focus on British voices a bit. What a twist at the end! | |
| The Despair Of Marquis by ZipZipper | 1 month ago |
| so I had to go look up the wiki page on this. yes, not for children. what a bizarre movie! The music fits the strange, yet probably oddly entertaining movie. Not sure I want to watch it, but still.... |
|
| Is This Complextro? by dj_walkure | 1 month ago |
| This is great. Overall, sounds a bit muddy, but nice bases and samples and synths and kicks. | |
| State of Flux by DaBu777 | 1 month ago |
| Yes it is video gamey. I really like the long build. This could break way open. I'd be interested in seeing what I could do with this and my style of stuff. PM if interested. | |
| A Fog Approaches by DaBu777 | 1 month ago |
| some good sounds here. I recognize some stuff from GB. It never hurts to really test those filters and effects in instruments to get really unique sounds! | |
| One Question by jamesjrn | 1 month ago |
| that first cymbal crash was a bit too heavy, could be toned down some IMO. I really like the classical voices. And then those drums kick in and away we go. | |
| At First Sight by ihussain | 1 month ago |
| I always love your work. Have you ever yhtought of collaborating with ZipZipper here on icomp? You two both play in the same sandbox, but with different styles. | |
| Linear Circles : Blooming by shadesofdown | 1 month ago |
| sounds like a song for one of those time lapse videos. I might plug this more as jazz than rock, but I know what you mean on the genre issues. | |
| Be Easy Love by lazyjane | 1 month ago |
| man, this is great music for this time of year. Its nice out, almost the summer, almost beach weather. I think you could benefit from using GB to its full extent! Get some marimbas and steel drums in there! | |
| The Maker's Time by lazyjane | 1 month ago |
| neat story, feels sorta like jack johnson | |
| Loops Only Session 101 by hiphopmoses | 1 month ago |
| wow, thats a really ominous but pretty synth sound. | |
| Tu Non Mi Conosci (You Don't Know Me) by carlajpatterson | 1 month ago |
| wow, beautiful track! | |
| sad sad lover by musiciankidd | 1 month ago |
| whistling is a nice touch. sounds pretty decent. the room ambience feel of the track definitely gives it that necessary indie feel that makes me think of a coffee shop performance where I can snap my fingers afterwards. | |
| DiscoBall (Radio Edit) by Axelbreeze | 1 month ago |
| I think with the chorus the main line should get a bit more fidgety and up an octave. Other than that, no complaints. graet vocals. like a male lady gaga kinda of feel. |
|
| Asio Stygius (stygian owl) by A1K3M1 | 1 month ago |
| long intro of random sounding sounds, but then when they come in over the beat and such it just works well. very experimental to my untrained ears. thanks! | |
| Biohazard: The Black Sky by DigitalRedux | 1 month ago |
| I like this one the best. I just finished playing Mass Effect 3 and this track fits in great with that ambiance. You have a lot of talent with this type of music and I think you should definitely do more like it. | |
| Biohazard: DEFQON.1 by DigitalRedux | 1 month ago |
| Why is DEFCON spelled that way? DEFCON stands for Defense Condition... Anyway. Took me a bit to get to your new stuff. Wasn't around for a while with thesising and only a few weeks till I graduate. So now I get to enjoy some music. Awesome hardstyle. got the synth line, the big beats. Heavy bass... yup, all the components are there. Even the breakdown section. I think that might be how it should start. |
|
| Hildegard by olympus | 2 months ago |
| @Everine Thanks so much for the comment. You are, unfortunately, only able to see the music side of me on this site. No politics allowed. Music as a career would be great, but its a hobby. I am afraid to make it a job for fear of possibly losing that "fun" feel of a hobby. Glad you enjoyed! | |
| LUX [Ableton Live Mix] by olympus | 2 months ago |
| @Everine no, the first GB version I didn't like, so I dropped the GB version and made the Ableton Live version found here, which I do like, lol Thanks! |
|
| Star Cloud Bath by zarizarikun | 2 months ago |
| Very nice track! Great jazzed chords I will definitely download! Arrigato |
|
| Apparition by videoscore | 2 months ago |
| came here from facebook. And very glad I did.the somber and peaceful mood is quite relaxing. A longer crash cymbal would fit in better with the vibe I think. | |
| untitled acoustic(open collab) by tpick | 2 months ago |
| Dust in the Wind on crack! Tempo might be a bit fast. seems unreasonable to play which takes away from the realism a bit in my opinion. | |
| (I Can't Stay) Away From You by Beatle128 | 3 months ago |
| bass was a bit muddy in my ears, but the ladies sound great! drums could be crisper too, but I think the production is good overall. | |
| Hildegard by olympus | 3 months ago |
| @Mosaica yes, 22 tracks total! Thanks! | |
| White Dance by AngeloDolci | 3 months ago |
| That middle section really is interesting. I like the toms in there. The chord structure is a very welcome change from the first and third parts of the track. Nice conclusion buildup. | |
| Blown Away by BigJimSlade | 3 months ago |
| sounds like some stuff I would hear in the movies at the end of the 1980s about high school life. like fast times at ridgemont high and adventure of bill and ted's most excellent adventure type stuff. great guitar. like the beach grunge punk feel. nice bass. great solo section on guitar there. cool drums. could use more diversity in it. hit those toms and crashes and open hats! | |
| Come and Save Me by BigJimSlade | 3 months ago |
| Nice to hear a vocalist who knows whats what. I can't sing to save my life so I love hearing that from folks! Recording sounds clean all things considered! | |
| BloodLust (Death of a Vampire Lord) by Tony2008 | 3 months ago |
| yeah. some great stuff here. Nice guitar at the beginning and end especially! awesome vocals. | |
| A Journey Beyond Destiny by shakthi | 3 months ago |
| I think making that melody like have more echo and reverb would help imbed it with the textures of the track. Those strings could use some work on making them sound a lot less computerized, but thats just me. | |
| Back On Track by TripleCamp | 3 months ago |
| oh i like. this is a redo or repuload? its awesome. nice lyrics, solid beat. could almost see this being a bit faster! Instead of 75 BPM, maybe kick it up to 80 or 85bpm? I like that hook a lot. |
|
| Scorny Simpleton's Cynical Symphony by ZipZipper | 3 months ago |
| I like the almost spanish feel to the "trumpet" sound you've got going on there. Fits that picture well. | |
| FMP012812 Off the Grid by Surak | 3 months ago |
| sounds great despite recording conditions and must've been quite fun to make. | |
| Islander Dub by ChrisComet1 | 3 months ago |
| thoroughly enjoyed the mix. listened to it twice. nice dark feel, nice synths, good drums solid energy throughout. never got dull. | |
| The Cannibal by ZipZipper | 3 months ago |
| I was the opposite of becwil, I listened to the track while reading the news and then came back to comment on how much I liked the track, particularly the opening sounds. | |
| Real You (Radio Edit) by Axelbreeze | 3 months ago |
| I might lower the vocals a bit more into the mix. thats all I can think of. The synths are typical Axel. vocals are powerful. | |
| The Black Room : Warm Light by shadesofdown | 4 months ago |
| simple yet elegant. | |
| Night Light Riot by DJ_Siatt | 4 months ago |
| I think that clav synth bass sound that drops in behind the main bass line is too close in sound to the first bass. I like the sound and the line but I might pull it up an octave. Nice drum kit. thats kick ***. You might want to look at getting some vox over this. |
|
| Stupid Half Wit by PaulOwenMusic | 4 months ago |
| nice riff, solid buildup. sounds like it should be on some extreme sports video. You always have a great ear for the metal guitars. |
|
| ... and now? (open for collab) by JCLeonard | 4 months ago |
| I could get someone ti sing it in japanese perhaps... I mean, I could sing in japanese or french, but my singing sucks. would be more talking really. which could be fun too. PM if interested. | |
| Ineptitude by ZipZipper | 4 months ago |
| that is awesome. I will def try this with maybe a jazz trombone song and see what the hell happens. | |
| Air-Born by ZipZipper | 4 months ago |
| will be checking out that website. I've had lots of fun on many similar sites in the past. the internet consumes far too much of my time. Nice bass wobbles. I like the vocals in the mix. They sound otherwordly. | |
| Wöbbly by Vlazreus | 4 months ago |
| yeah, GB sucks for dubstep. I've tried and had mild success, but it took ages to accomplish. | |
| Schnipsel Konzert by fatalgroove | 4 months ago |
| I like the vocal samples the most. Nice house/ jungle groove with the congas. very progressive build. | |
| Bagatelle (Number One) by soulima | 4 months ago |
| lovely piece you have composed. nice piano tones and the clarinet is great too. However, I like bassoon with this better than the clarinet. piano bassoon matchup... |
|
| Luv Sic by MellyGrove | 4 months ago |
| Is there a proper bass in the song or is it just the rhodes and percussion? I think a stand up bass would be killer in this track. | |
| The Walking Dead (Opening Theme Remix) by ZipZipper | 4 months ago |
| I love the show! My girlfriend and I watch it every sunday and this song does the opening credits more than justice! sounds almost exactly like it! Nailed it Zip. | |
| 07 Jacarda by olympus | 4 months ago |
| They were loops I picked up somewhere on the internet royalty free a long time ago (3-4 years). As such, I do not recall specifically, but I do use a lot of the loop packages from loopmaster.com and platinumloops.com, so those would be the two good places to start if you want to find them for me. | |
| No More by theironsaul | 4 months ago |
| nice blues track. the vocals sound perfect with taht bit of radio fuzz in there. great guitar solo. | |
| Tuolomne by maglasser | 4 months ago |
| very pretty track. nice use of space and I could see this in a variety of commercials about banks, or green energy or something like that. | |
| This Is A Story (Radio Edit) (New Year Song) by Axelbreeze | 4 months ago |
| oohhh, happy new year to all of you as well. solid piece of work on the vocals and everything. | |
| The Thin Black Disk by DJ_Siatt | 4 months ago |
| hadn't stopped by in a bit for your tunes. glad I did. vinyl stuff works great here. chilled grooved bass and 90s samples works great here. | |
| Rock Bottom(Shadow Gvt.) by Verbalist | 4 months ago |
| this reminds me a lot of immortal technique. The first technique song and one of my favorites is still "The Cause of Death." which has the political message throughout. So I hear that a lot here. Your voice is able to deliver that bone crunching sound that is needed. Great track bro. |
|
| The Black Room : Sooth by shadesofdown | 4 months ago |
| solid new years track. I keep feeling that there should be a small, somber crash cymbal after the drum hits.... | |
| 2 Ugly Heaven by help420me | 4 months ago |
| Dark and gritty. I think it sounds great. I might've started the song off with the arp section and then brought it into that real gritty section you started with? also, don't be afraid to really pump those drums! | |
| You Shoulda Seen Me Last Night by DeuceSoliloquy | 4 months ago |
| As a central virginian I can say I enjoyed this piece. I would say its right up there with the stuff I listen to. I would pull the vocals further up in the mix, maybe a little louder. thats it. The guitar choices are spot on and the drums work well. | |
| Pathfinding Robot by ZipZipper | 4 months ago |
| It sounds sorta like marvin from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy: The chronically depressed robot! This is cool. I would maybe refine the script a little a bit more. Some more pauses, maybe sighs of boredom? |
|
| Opening The Gifts by crazykeyman | 4 months ago |
| This reminds me of the type of music I love to listen to on sunday evenings when curled up by the fire. I have whole playlists of piano instrumentals that are truly beautiful. this is no exception. The phrases, the volume changes, the chords..... I love it. |
|
| Valley of the Kings by DB3Beats | 5 months ago |
| This is an odd clicking in the background like the sounds didn't quite match up in the quieter parts? Overall though I like the feel. I like the drop in the synth bass at the top of the measures. That's nice. I might add more variation to that. Chop it up and add fidget to it a bit. Maybe add an electro synth on the "and" beats during the chorus to help identify that section? |
|
| I Am Not The Doctor (Quasi-Dr. Who Cover) by olympus | 5 months ago |
| @ihussain its the song used in the series called "I am the Doctor." Its not the main theme, rather, its the one used when hes doing really cool stuff. | |
| on my mind by TDCRevolution | 5 months ago |
| yeah, I recognized each loop and could find them all on my own and rebuild this song in my own GB. thats not bad however. You have the ear for the modern classical sound. I would look into the classical expansion for GB. they have loads of new sounds to play with and loops (green colored) so they are easy to edit. this is mastered well though. nothing is overpowering. bass is at a solid volume that drives the piece. |
|
| Oceanic by ChrisComet1 | 5 months ago |
| i like that break for the little kids laugh the most. the main riff is cool too. nice house beat. | |
| Reason Y (Redo) by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| bah | |
| Turret Wife Serenade (Remix) by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| portal drones FTW. alright! its got that zip feel to it in the note choices, but then its like you built 8-bit style but updated it. thats cool too! | |
| Merry Christmas From The Family by RubyDubidoux | 5 months ago |
| wowowowoow that is all |
|
| In the Stars by ihussain | 5 months ago |
| very solid additions. | |
| Haze 7 : The meaning of the end by shadesofdown | 5 months ago |
| nice and laid back. fits that pic and the pic fits the mood perfectly. I think I would like to have the hi hat panning around my head a bit more, give it some more action. maybe add a percussive section where its just the drums and conga or something like that. | |
| 1961 (semi mastered) by Argales | 5 months ago |
| Haha, 1961 was a busy year! However, 1968 is also a great year to sing about. lots of revolutions in that year. Nice house tune underneath. good subbed bass. | |
| Reason Y (Redo) by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| reasony makes complete sense duh! Who knows. I like the drum kit underneath. that was a good choice. I wonder if you could actually use less echo/ reverb/ fx on your voice... | |
| Ghost in the Machine by FireProven | 5 months ago |
| a bit much on the voice distortion. I like the keys in the background acting as a semi-arp, but I wonder if maybe you should raise their notes an octave to jump above the rest of the mix? | |
| The Intermission On Piano by ZipZipper | 5 months ago |
| this is great to see your hands bouncing all over the keys. In order to fix the reverse: I imagine you used the photobooth program. If you use imovie you can reverse the movie before exporting it out. you can also edit out the background fuzz if you want then too. | |
| Loverboy by JCLeonard | 5 months ago |
| german? I like. the acoustic guitar is nice, only in my right hour? I think all the guitars (except the arp like guitar) are in my right ear only. I think they could be panning on more central. I think the vocals add great dimension. | |
| Marching To the Colosseum (Film Score) by PaulWilkins | 5 months ago |
| The percussion is what makes this piece. The dynamics are pretty solid as well. I would like to have had more brass as a brass lover. Also a breakdown section where everything goes half time and then you have a huge buildup from there to the last note would've been nice. | |
| Dezekration - Flawless by Verbalist | 6 months ago |
| this just rolls hard and its awesome. that piano and beat. the opening. the lyrics are spot on, solid vocal delivery. | |
| The European Dilemma by thsantac | 6 months ago |
| I was a bit worried at the beginning that I would not like it. I'm not a huge fan of dissonance, but then when the groove started going, I really got into it, nice string patterns. That's my favorite part of this. | |
| Ominous by olympus | 6 months ago |
| @Vixen many thanks for the compliment! @everyone else, thanks as well. I was shooting to make some sort of sci fi movie from the 80s sounds. |
|
| armadillo cloak by Stockholm | 6 months ago |
| nice! complex and intricate, but simple patterns and easy to follow. solid piece of music here. | |
| Solomon's Song (ruff mix) by Tony2008 | 6 months ago |
| wow thats a lot of energy! Right from the start. having the guitar solidly in my left ear though proved to be a bit much. I'd've moved it more center. | |
| Atlantis (Chris Comet Mixture) by ChrisComet1 | 6 months ago |
| great track. sounds very much like you, but with enough twists and turns to be unique as well. | |
| Voyage - a Viking journey by ihussain | 6 months ago |
| did you know that scientists in, I think scotland or ireland, recently discovered the old funeral ship of a viking king? It was pretty well preserved apparently. Anyway, nice pretty song. I like the flow of the piece and the image you paint with the sounds you chose. | |
| S...H...E... by Donatus | 6 months ago |
| wow, this is really pretty. I liked the piano a lot. I thought the bass could have been a bit more muted and not so "plucked" on the strings. Btu thats just my two cents. | |
| Moonlight by Vixen | 6 months ago |
| hey! you two..... wow! Great track. A tad late for Halloween, but you know what, that doesn't matter. I really like the synths that move all over the place. Vix, your voice is great on this. The piano really slams this track into place. One thing though. I would've pulled the kick drum and the bass up. You got great mid and high levels. needs more on the lower range |
|
| TDC-Rockstar(remix) by TDCRevolution | 6 months ago |
| the vox is a but much. the beat is great and works very well, but its a bit harder to hear what the vocalist is saying. you put some kinda strange filter over it. | |
| The Creature by ChrisComet1 | 6 months ago |
| I really like the vocal samples you have in this track. Very impressed. could ahve been a bit heavier perhaps, but very chill dubstep track mate. | |
| No More Lies by Fioretti | 6 months ago |
| great kicks. full key sound. nice synth in there too. not overpowering, but totally necessary. it would be cool to hear an artist over this. Nice guitar solo. fits the mood great! |
|
| "Autumnal Equinox" by abzwork | 6 months ago |
| nice track man. def fit the mood of october/ november and how chilly it's been where I am. wonderful | |
