the string pizz is an interesting opener. i like that your "palette" of sounds includes "acoustic" as well as electronic. it is interesting also how, after the intro of voice, seems for a second the piece is done, but that it takes off again in a more intense way. let's see - critique? well - maybe the string pizz is a little dry - juice it up somehow?

congratulations on this work!

the intensity grabs you and holds on. i find there is enough variation in the drumming and coloring with your sounds that i keep interest in the steady groove . i favor a wider pallete of sounds - even within synth type sounds, which you use, there may be room for a richer pallete. wonderful work - congrats!

i like the way you take the end of your rap into robot voice land. it's very interesting and (IMHO) pro technique. i think all the sounds, balances, are interesting and well done

your voice is great for rap (IMHO). maybe crammin' a few too many words into too little time at the very beginning?

great job - keep going! midisparks

i like the choice of sounds. some electronic, some - like flute, acoustic sounding. and you mix up the sounds throughout the piece - great!
you know - the drums do grab me - but i want a break from them at some point, and then to come back to them.
- i see a scene in a movie while i listen to this piece. did you imagine ever your art soul might lean toward cinematic

what an awesome work. in my humble opinion, the mixing/production is great. oompositionally, I appreciate that you let up on the ostinato now and then, that you have varying sections that dovetail through unifying factor - a string line carrying in I think, usually. the strings sound gorgeous, and it's not just the samples, it's your writing I think. the harp too. lots of dynamics, etc. sounds like a traveling scene in a movie, or one of those scenes where there is some kind of activity going on without dialogue and the music can really come to the foreground. trying to think of some constructive criticism - i guess you know a track clips off at the end and then the whole thing clips at the end. look forward to hearing more of your stuff. good luck.

that's a lot of sound and tracks for a first go at ACID. congrats on that. lots of good ideas. your music has a lot of drive. i'd explore mixing up the intensity level though. good luck.
