on Elephant by Orlando51
Oh What have you done! The elephant in the room is smiling. Because he/she knows you have made a brilliant minimalist tune with awesome melody and percussion and arrangement and just the slightest touch of cinematic drama. The clarinets are brilliant at 2:13. it's at this point I realize I am the Elephant. And I should just enjoy the brilliance of the piece. Marimbas at 3:04 with a distant flute morphing into an oboe. Then a freaking Piano....
Awesome job. I loved this one Orlando...

Hey Steve!

Many many thanks for this friendly and generous feedback! I'm really glad you liked it! This one was originally also
intended as a kind of intermezzo thing (again), but as it often happens during the process the goal was becoming a bit more ambitious....and yes, I think I partly succeeded to pull some nice combinations out of it here and there and thanks alot for recognizing that .....

......and for the cruvations ofcourse !:)

With much appreciation________Orlando

on Mora Done by Byleth
I must say my favourite work so far. Great mastery of Midi as it sounds amazing. But what I really love is the percussion work you did. Amazing!. Keep it up my Quebecoise Amigo!

From you its like platinum. thanks for this amazing feedback and feel free to use your imagination to write down a story you could win pretty everything about Mora.

btw since im a male not female you had to write " Keep it up my québécois"

Peace and Handshakes from Byleth in Apocrypha.

on again by ElenaSatine
Don't change a thing, it's a really nice piece of work. I like the layers of guitar and all works very well together plus there are many directions this tune takes which makes it fun to listen too.

on More Than Words -cover by janis71
Beautiful Version. You know this is not a love song per say, but a cheeky (Machismo) song bout sex and the coercion young men (Foppy faux metal hair band singer-gutarists from the eighties) do to young women to "get some" as we say.
The more we know.

Hello Cru :)
Well, now that you tell me that, I guess that's a possible interpretation which I wasn't aware of at all, haha.
Still, the artless girl in me still likes to have a first degree look upon it. Sthg like "showing your love to me is as important as speaking it". That's how I sang it and feel about the "message". Arf... what a noodle I am sometimes! (most of the time, but sshh...).
Anyway, thx for your visit and for enlightening me, Sir.
Peace,
Carole.

What you have done makes me want to remix this. a good mix of the organic and the electronic. nothing short of brilliant Alex.

Thank you so much Steve!

There were many versions - now I want to make an retrograde update and post one of those less organic. No problem with remixing at all.

I will post more electronic tracks for sure somwhere in the near future.

Thank you for good words! I am really happy you liked what I did.

Totally agree with you, this is a mix of hip hop and cinematic. needs some sort of vocals and a cleansing of the midi strings but a nice work overall.

on The day after by traz75
I believe the Day after Halloween is All Saints Day in the Catholic Mythology. This is a creepy jazz like tune that incorporates some D&B which works wonderfully together. our usage of dissonance is fantastic as well. Great job on this one.

This is more like what Dubstep was when it came out in 2001. very creative and expressive and nice work in not following the trends of bro-step.

on Trouble in Paradise Feat Billy Dragon by mrwolf14
I love the emotion of this. I love the spoken word, but the musical arrangement is so good in this one. Perfect use of minimal bass and guitars. Bluesy and yet progressive. Awesome work my friend. Though Billy's Vox of utopia(paradise) lost is unrealistic to reality, (we are actually improving the Human condition not regressing) it's still a great listen.
Cru
mrwolf14
mrwolf14 replied 9th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
Thanks for the kind words Cru.
Actually I also think that we are improving our condition, despite what a lot of people cry. I find it a bit strange: elder people are stating that 40 years back everything was better ... of course it was! they were 40 years younger!

Nevertheless I find Billy's poem on the idea of a "lost paradise" very romantic.

Thanks again for the kind words.
Ciao, Domenico

on The Wherewithal by Evisma
Nice filtered intro, :48 sort of a reggae like bass line. so that's where the money went? Into that gorgeous piano lick. 1:30 serious strings. I like this new approach. 1:53 is all serious up in da face! 2:24 nice synths, I like this section. Then you faded it out. no this needs to continue on in like a S.Nomad length song. Waaaayyyy tooo shorrrtt! This is a really cool song that you need to keep at my friend, such potential.

Evisma replied 28th Sep 2015 - 10 years ago
Mr. Cru,... how are you?

"so that's where the money went? Into that gorgeous piano lick."

About twenty minutes went into it. I'm trying to play all my virtual instruments with the actual keys on my midi controller, instead in finagling with mouse and piano-roll. It means more to me if I actually play it. I just wind up cleaning up the timing.

"2:24 nice synths"

All guitar distortion. No synths. I really don't like the distortions I have because they are all digital. They all break up the same and that is kind of more buzzy than meaty. I've have guitar called synths several times. They do kind of sound like synth buzz.

I've been working with this and it's getting longer. I'll update sometime soon.

Thanks for the listen, kind words and advice. It will be taken.

Thanks again.

on Insanely Mellow by beerling1970
Way to go Steve, That intro is mysterious and compelling. I wasn't expecting vocals then and that particular type of vocals over a chill beat and chord structure. But it works well. One hand hitting the other in a repetitive motion is the sound your deserve for this work.

Very Minimal and haunting but I could also feel at times this song could build into something chill-jazz. I like the processing on Pat's vocals and overall this is a cool tune Nice work Alex.

Hello Steve
Thank you so much for listening to my music and reviewing. I much appreciate the nice words!
This is one from 3 songs in total with Spivkurl over last few weeks. The basic idea contained almost everything: drums, bassline, vocals, synth solo even. I transformed it adding piano layer ('Prova' vst plugin) and entirely re-arranged it. You're right, it is sort of minimal music, not evolvoing that much melodically or harmonically - I am mostly only looping and repeating elements here.
I managed to upload other version for this song on sc for you to see my first take or original Spivkurl's project stems https://soundcloud.com/promenade2239/whatsgoing1-with-spivkurl-first-version - I removed delayed piano and the main focus is on percussions and lead vocal on the last version. There are different reverbs applied - I tried to create as much space as possible.
Thank you again. I am happy you liked the song.
Best greetings, Alex

on The Hellquake by Byleth
Dissonance is nice. Not a fan of the basic brass Midi instruments. The chorus is nice but needs some processing to give it a less MIDI feel. Drums are epic though. And this is very cinematic, strings and percussion are also perfect as well as that organ at the end. Nice modal scale you use to give us that Sino-Hellenic sound. Over all a very nice choice to listen too this evening

"but needs some processing to give it a less MIDI feel"
can you explain me that part in more details ? the fact about the chorus turn around the same thing is to create a adventure feelings maybe I failed that part :(

Im agree with you the outro is neat and was a idea of asidRn.

Finally thanks for this constructive feedback I did use all my dark force to make this one and I glad even with minor problem you liked it.

Since The Hellquake is my baby I might try to fix those minor problem about the chorus and "making less midi feel"

Peace from Byleth to you dear cruce :)

on Resinous by Evisma
First and foremost I loved "your" percussion work on this particular track. @ 1:45 that high freq guitar chorused sound sits nicely with the acoustic sounds. I think the tonal quality is just fine on this one. I did a simple homage to you and Ed (Tumbleweed) in what I found reminded me of both of "your" styles. I called it Generation Swallowed. But it's working title was called "Irregardless, you're not their there" but I didn't want to make you bleed from the nose and ears before you listened to it..only after you listened to it. (Tongue is now firmly planted in cheek.)

That is good idea, cru. I think there is something to be said about developing fewer elements in different ways than adding more and more elements. KISS - you know what that stands for?! regards -
