"Good piece!"

submission: L'Amore Perso (Love Lost)

date: July 20, 2008

This would remind me of a creation by Henning Lohner, Jardin D'Amour. It has that sweet, yet sorrowful sense to it that Henning is always capable of. Perhaps you should do a remake of Jardin D'Amour, yet I don't see it happening because I do not have his score to give you.

On in all, you've managed to pull of a very sad and effective emotional song. I believe this will move many people with its beauty and cunning score, therefore I give you my thumbs up.

p.s. Your author comment is rather interesting. It appears romantic, yet when read deeper, it is rather morbid.

"Excellent!"

submission: Laugh At Fat Man

Excellent work, Lawrie! Mixing piano with guitar always has a soothing effect to the ears. It sounds like it could fit professionally into a light drama - you're something Hollywood needs to look into!

Even though it has a repetitive mood, that doesn't stop me from listening to it again. It seems to drive my mind forward, allowing it to drift into a calm state of being. With practice, you could become very successful in the music business; if you want to, of course.

Excellent work, MaestroRage. Even though it's a little too loud for my ears, the performance was top notch. It actually sounds Mongolian.

Your talents become better with each passing day. I'm also glad to hear you snagged top composer of 07! That's quite an achievement.. more than what I could do ;)

Once again,
Bosa

"Intriguing"

submission: Prelude No.3 in Bb Minor

date: March 13, 2008

For a short time, you allowed me to be swept away with your music. However, as I hinted, it was short lived.

I can really relate to this rather saddening tune as I just found out today that my girlfriend had found herself a new boyfriend. Sometimes music can ease your mind, making you able to think clearly. This is exactly what this had done. I often find myself sitting here with but one thought in my head, a thought that I concentrate so hard to avoid. However, music rushes through one's head and it's as mysterious as love.. in some cases.

I'm sorry for this sort of blabbering ignorance that I've produced as a review. I know that there's not much patience in this world anymore and there's only little room for sympathy, as the ones sympathizing are the ones in pain. Oh dear, I'm beginning to sound like a depressed little man who has spent too much time indoors.

I would rather you just exclude this message. You can even pretend that you were too busy to notice it.

"Brilliance"

submission: Etude No.2 in C# minor Op.1

date: March 12, 2008

The man below me may be suffering from lower back pains due to some rather large object being shoved up his asshole.

This is quite a piece of brilliance. Never in my life could I match up to this, and I'm being honest here. You've got some talent in those magic fingers, and don't ever be afraid to show it! Besides, my sidekick is only the best sidekick in the entire universe times ten. So, with that said, I believe anybody that disses you is either homosexual, or about to fall back in their chair where I loosened the blots that hold the structure together.

A good piece, and a good performance!

"Well, I have to hand it to ya'"

submission: Tokyo Blues

date: March 4, 2008

It's a good track overall. It sounds like a rehearsal session rather than an actual performance.. no offense intended. You're making a good start by submitting a live performance and I'm sure you'll get far here on the audio portal if you keep on practicing!

It's better than what I can do jazz-wise,

"A good song"

submission: track 1

date: March 2, 2008

I believe the Abbott Family sung this back in 99. It's called I'm Going to the West. It's a mediocre song, something to listen to while you're in your pickup on the road.

"I'm a boy again"

submission: Cornwall Farm

date: March 2, 2008

Well, I have to let you know how much I appreciate the effort in this excellent track. I gotta say that this brings back so many memories that my mind is about to explode. Man, when the Babb Boys go back to Cherokee, I wish you'd be there to play this track so we can learn a thing or two about good music.

"Ah, bring the past to my ears!"

submission: Castle Symphony mov 3

date: March 2, 2008

I'm not entirely sure if you've played any classic Windows games, but this reminds me of some 1995 rpg's midis. I'm glad to have something to remind me of such a time. Anyways, this is well composed and you've managed a rather symphonic outlook in the notes. Good work.

Score: 10

"Excellent and Brilliant"

submission: Kim - Kakka

date: January 18, 2008

I believe I recognize this program. It be Edirol HQ Orchestral. Am I correct?

Anyways, this is a well developed score with sort of a mediocre performance by the program. I really don't like some of the instruments on the program, especially the woodwind and some of the strings. However, don't let my words get you down from this genre. As I sit here, listening to your music, I am reminded of how I was back in the day and you should not turn from the classical genre. There is a lot of ability to express yourself in the music and you should take a creative lifestyle within symphonic music itself.

Honestly, I don't always look at the performance, I rather listen to the score.. if that makes sense. Every note that's played, I take notice and I try to understand everything that is going on during the music. Your aggressive use of percussion is well noted in my book. It adds excitement, but restrain yourself from using too much. Too much bass tapping can can cause it to overlap itself and give a small mastering issue. But, you managed to use the staccato bass which is an interesting trick. It's sort of a muffled bass hit. You get the impact, but there is no or little reverb involved. It's useful when you really have to use a lot of bass but you don't want mastering issues. I would recommend the normal bass when you just use it here and there, but you managed to use it effectively in this episode and you're developing quite well in music.

I do hope you will continue your musical journey and find your true talent within composing great and masterful scores. You may even be our next top composer here on Newgrounds someday! Just don't turn your head and never let anyone get to you and cause you to quit making music.

Sincerely,
Bosa
