[ThinkWithoutImposedRestraints]

oho

yet again. you drive out your skills like a firarri... cool and kick ass man... good job on this one. its very tranquill... more so than your normal style, really peacefull and slow... exactly my kind of song. thanks for this one.

Boux responds:

yeah youre right this one is more relax, thanks again mr. roper.

[Sorrowful Harmony]

hmmm..

you should totally call it the thing you where thinking of whilst playing it. if you where crying then something about tears or sadness... if you where excitable and passionate then something about love or movement...
once more you have reinforced the bridge that apsiring musicians can walk across towards your wonderful style of play:D:D:D
that makes no sense. but i know what i mean lol.
Excellent fab man! well done on this! and WTF! why is it on like 3.20? some people are just dicks.

Boux responds:

thanks, love the review, peace.

[Orchestral Chopsticks]

LOL

this is epic and you know it! :D:D:D this should totally be in your squirrel animation!
like as a starter! 5/5 10/10! hilarious!

[Voices 1]

um.

okay then "zak" lol. this is alright. your a voice actor then. you should have put this in the Voice acting genre. its not really something i could funk down the town with lol. I like the vocals though. very original. nice sounds. although real talent would come without effects. i am sure you can be very inventive with subtler effects. i like that your english too. :D:D:D heres a billions pounds for being british. i always said british animators where the best ones. same with the voice actors. you sound a little like Eddie Boley, (edd egg) you could be big on NG. submit something more inventive and fun to listen to. PM me when you do. i would love to hear where else you can take your talents. :D:D:D

TCBadMan responds:

Thank you for the review

i am thinking about starting my first animation soon i have a program called anime studios 5 but its not very good so i need a program like what Eddy Boley or Eddsworld uses if you could recommend one to me that would be great.

[Sun Still Shine]

its good.

well done for front page man. you have earned it! however i couldnt help but feel the first 6-7 minutes where the same 4 chords repeated.
although it is well worked. and you have captured a lot of depth and emotion with your subtle melodics, it seems to lack a little something. i dont know what... something to make it have the wow factor. there is alot of other music in the portal like this... that is on 3 or less...
none the less it is well paced, well structured and generally quite pleasent.
i hope you are not offended by my opinion.. take care. and make more musix! you are fucking god at it!

[Hania's Wedding Isle Song]

the Beatles

although you used the same chord progression as the beatles, i think you have truly made it your own. the piano is wonderfully played... only it is a shame you have applied so much effect to it... i am guessing it must have been played live, due to the amount of effects... perhaps to block out noise? i dont know... but it doesnt merge as well with your voice as it could.
in my honest opinion the lyriks are a little predictable and dry, but lyriks are never easy to write.
your voice is ASTOUNDING. and keeps improving with each song i hear. your understanding of harmonics is truly wonderful... and your performance, well it brings a tear to my eye too. you sound english aswell.... but i think i heard you where an aussie. none the less. you brought epic wows and shivers to my spinal chord. you are the kind of person who should be working with disney on a princess montage song. i am guessing you where brought up on disney too! :D:D:D well hats off to you. :D:D:D

[~No Words~]

7 for the singing.

you have an astounding voice. although the lyriks and music are a little bland. Seriously no offense... it is not particularly refreshing... and its not really dark as much as it is slightly gothic...
i think you are beautiful, and i think your singing is pure grace and wonder. so seriously you should know it is not personal.
AHA! thats what i mean... your singing is in no way justified by the music... your voice causes disbalance because its so much better than the music... none the less... i have already favourited you. and will check out all your other songs now :D:D:D
take care of yourself and that amazing voice of yours.

[Beauty Shone Forth Second Try]

Long time no review! :D:D:D

its been a long time Steph. i hope you are well and life is treating ya good!
now.... this song is mixed perfectly... i am listening, and it sounds live again... digital piano like your last one. which is excellent... it is so much easier to capture good fluid rhythm and emotion with a slightly inconsistent tempo, it adds to the whole reality of the composition. you have mixed your instruments EXCELLENTLY! i struggle to do that with my piano... but truly this is the EPIC win of harps.
loving the eery feel. and the subtle choir is wonderfully placed here and there... adding that gentle warmth and human organic vibrance to the overall piece.
Your harmonics again are wonderful, and the velocity changes further move this song in a wonderfully heartfelt direction...
TBH i think the only word that can properly sum this up is WOWZERS!
really wonderfull and worth a download if you dont mind! :D
well its 5 am and i need to sleep this year.
so take care chicken! :D:D:D and keep doing what you do! because its the awesome.

Jessismith responds:

Hey. :D Yep. Well, not too long, but long enough I guess. Life is stil boring but I'm still living it. Live! Really? :D I guess the rhythm just sort of came with me practicing it over and over again. I find myself doing that....just playing things over and over until I can finally get them right. Why thank you! I feel so honored. I must admit though, I simply mixed a midi file on my computer in a sequencing program. I too struggle to come up with a good instrument mix on the piano. Here on the computer, I can adjust whatever note and whatever instrument at whatever time. xD You think so? I always start out with a piano in these, but of course I just can't replicate the beautiful piano sounds of my digital piano, and so I just always make do with harps....which is my favorite instrument, so I'm glad you liked that. :)
That's exactly the mood I was going for when I added the subtle choir. :) You certainly have a wonderful way with words. It makes it sound so much better than it is. xD I'm also glad you noticed the sort of velocity change. (again, so attentive. :D) I decided to add other instruments and play a bit louder as the song progressed. I'm happy you noticed. Thanks. I was trying to capture beauty little by little in the form of music....sort of like, beauty slowly takes hold and draws one into it, so I suppose I was going for more of a heartfelt melody. :)
TBH, you're the most awesomest person ever! :D Thanks again for another great review. I don't mind for you to download. Downloads are always highly appreciated. :) Well, you have a good sleep.
Alright chicken. :) Heheh, thanks. I will certainly try. :D

[Solitude of Awaken Minds]

OMG! FREAKIN SWEET!
