"Quite relaxing and entertaining."

submission: Hot Cocoa by Fireside

Something that really sticks out to me in this song is the sound quality. I don't think I've ever heard anything like this before, sound-wise of course. It's well played, well engineered, and I must say you've got quite a piece of music here. I hope to hear more from you, as I will be here waiting.

It kind of reminds me of one of those old picture shows, except the quality is way ahead of its time.

"Not bad.."

submission: Prission Break

date: December 20, 2009

I can picture myself hearing this music at an arcade or while playing Unreal Tournament. It's actually pretty, good, yet could use some different beats and segments - as it gets sort of repetitive in some parts. Also, the ending was sort of abrupt, but not enough to really bother me. I think that you will turn out to be quite a musician here on Newgrounds.

I liked it.

"Very dramatic"

submission: In another life

date: December 7, 2009

This is definitely drama at its height, perhaps even epic drama - depending on how you listen to it. I'm quite impressed by what you've managed to create here! It actually has a dark feel to it, something that I love to hear. I'm not gonna give you beef about sound samples or vsti's, as I'm sure you realize there's not too many people on here who actually goes out of their way (money-wise) to have a live band or orchestra play for them. I actually prefer the sounds you used, as they remind me of a dark-themed roleplaying game or film. It is very nostalgic and inviting, and I love it.

"Excellent"

submission: [\Village/]

date: December 7, 2009

Well, after listening to this piece of art, I managed to imagine a montage of King Aedred and marshals; as if traveling across Wessex and into Viking territory, ready to free York and unify England as one.

This music is something I can truly relate to, as I make this kind of music a lot. Honestly, I haven't really been able to notice anything out of place besides the ending, which is a little abrupt. I could definitely hear this in a medieval game of some sort. It is very refreshing to hear.

"I Like it"

submission: Sounds Like its Rain at Home.

date: December 7, 2009

I think you've got a beautiful piece of work here. It's beyond any piano solo I'm capable of, that's for sure. This song is very relaxing and particularly serene, as it seems to give a feeling of peace or comfort. However, I feel like it should be in the 'Classical' category rather than 'Ambient'. Other than that, I really like it, and I hope you will submit more tracks like this - it seems to be your natural talent within music. You have my top vote.

"Sweet"

submission: Zelda's Lullaby Funk

date: December 7, 2009

I really like this kind of music, this is what I listen to when I'm working. It sounds more like smooth jazz than funk, though I can definitely sit back and relax to either genre. You've really produced quite a jam here; did you have your own group musicians perform for this track? It is quite impressive.

"I can picture it"

submission: Bounty Bazaar

date: December 6, 2009

You know what this reminds me of? Those old cartoons set in medieval times that came on PBS and FOX Kids - kinda like that crappy Legend of Zelda animated series.

But this song is far from crap, as it is superb in my opinion.

"Astounding and Pleasant"

submission: Shepherd's Call

date: May 22, 2009

Very nice, and the composition reminds me of an arrangement of the Christmas Carol, Noel, in some segments.

I'm very fond of the instrumentation as well, as I often use a Celtic style in my own music. The ensemble of strings with the tin penny and recorder is such a pleasant mixture of instruments to use, and I would like to hear more of your live performances if possible.

Some things are to note, though. During the higher key change, at around 02:17, I would of liked to of heard a short solo of a lower irish whistle transitioning into the key change, instead of you having to hit a lower note. Also, the segment was just a bit too high for me. Of course, my opinion is just personal taste, and I'm not sure if you would agree with my suggestion or not, but there's always room for improvement in everything we create. The pitch is really the only thing that bugged me, and everything else seems flawless in my opinion.

I really liked this performance, as it conveys a mood of returning home to the country, a feeling we all can relate to. I would definitely like to collaborate a piece of music with you some time. Of course if you're up for it, I'm sure we would produce something interesting for the masses to hear.

I will continue to watch your progress with enjoyment, and again I hope to hear more from you.

"Good"

submission: Melancholy Suite

date: February 18, 2009

Even though this isn't necessarily what I listen to every day, I'm not going to bash you simply because it's not my style of music - that would be ignorant.

Actually, this reminds me a tad bit of a level on Donkey Kong Country 2, as you've used some of the styles of implementation that the composer for Donkey Kong used. It's rather interesting to listen to, and at the moment, I enjoy it very much. Also, the diverse use of electronic sounds makes it very original and polished, that's always good to me.

The only problem I have with it is the volume increase at around 3:10 or so. But, it's not that big of a deal; I was just pointing it out. Honestly, you've produced a fine piece of music and you should be proud of it.
