[Falling Into You]

Not soothing at all.

This song had WAYYYY MORE techno and trance beats that a soothing song can have. The Mac 08 July contest is to see who has the sadest song.. not the best. I liked the song, but it wasnt sad at all lol.

DaGrahamCraka responds:

you know sad doesnt mean soothing. dont be stupid. fucking piece of shit.

[{I Still Love You} 2]

COOL.

This was an excellent song with a nice beat and nice piano rhythm. This was very uplifting rather than sad though. It simply doesn't fit the Mac 08 July category. i mean.. lol, you included a heavy synth bass near the end with percussion and took the piano off completely. :D

Not a good song for the Mac 08 contest... since it doesnt fit the category.. BUT A FANTASTIC SONG OVERALL!!! Great job and keep up the nice work with your DJ skills.

I'm impresed. |:) This is something I would hear on a trance radio station. YOU MUST OF STOLEN THIS LOL. WOOTBBQ!!!

thx 4 rvw =)

[Calling Out (MAC8 - July)]

ACK!

Woh man... start all over with this song. For one, the choice of instruments were very bad... Even the notes were off tune. Sorry dude.. you just need to delete this song entirely and start all over. We all make mistakes.. even the big ones.

kjhf responds:

"Even the notes are offtune" I was kinda aiming for this, with dissonance in mind. It's meant to be a hard hitting sorrowful piece, not a piece that you go - "Well, that was nice."

[Dreams (Piano version)]

0_0

Holy cow. YOU HAVE ANOTHER ENTRY!? You ARE going to get 100$ my friend in the Mac 08 July contest. Mainly because it is ORIGINAL!!!!!!

*When I say ARE, I do not decide this opk.. heh if i did, i would give it to you.*

Naitzmic responds:

lol, thanks.
I really appreciate it.

[Final Moment (Alex Sandford)]

You won.

Dude.. you probably won the mac 08 contest. This is the most original song I have reviewed in all of the songs. I have listened to about 40 so far by the way. You even played the guitar yourself! Dude.. you havwe got a true talent.

Naitzmic responds:

I don't think I've won, but I'm glad you liked the song.
Thanks alot, guy.

[Sadness and Sorrow v.2]

Ok ok OK... >:(

Why is it that every... SINGLE... SONG in the whole contest sounds like this? Ok, dont gte me wrong. I am loving all these songs. They sound great and peacful. However, none of them have any origanility in them besidesn the fact that they are all created. Yes I know, you worked very hard with this song.. but you got to make it sound.. different than the rest! DO you know how hard it is to judge 100+ songs that sound exactly alike?

I loved the song itself though. Very sad.. in fact I think THIS ONE has a better chance of winning than the rest of them. How? Mybe by strictly luck. I may never know.

BlazingDragon responds:

I believe the answer to that question lies in the expressiveness of the piano itself. It truly has an incredible range in both register and dynamics, allowing it to communicate such a wide breadth of emotions. The ability to combine both melody and harmony simultaneously alone makes it a great option for sad songs. As to why I myself chose it? I'm a pianist and stink at orchestration. :P

I've looked through quite a few of the submissions, actually. I wouldn't say they all sound alike, either. While there may be quite a few solo piano pieces, they are still distinct in the utilized dynamics, registers, tempo, rhythyms, harmonies, chord progressions, and melodies. While this does sound similar in the fact that it is sad, I wouldn't go so far as to say it sounds the same as every other song. I tried to make it original with the way I combined the traits I listed a moment ago. The fact that many submissions are piano solos does not make them all "sound like this". Within the piano, there is an infinite number of ways to create distinctive sounds, styles, and harmonies. Compare a Bach fugue to David Lanz's new age piano solos. There is a very noticable difference setting them apart, though they both be piano songs and sometimes both "sad". I personally wouldn't mind judging dozens of piano solos so long as there is some degree of variation in style. Judging a hundred different songs with the same chord progression in, say, the nocturne form? That may become too monotonous for me. However, I will respect your opinions. After all, I guess your not attacking me or anything. :P This is just my opinion on the matter.

Whatever the case may be, I am glad that you enjoyed the song. I am quite relieved to hear that this may have a decent chance of winning, whether it be luck or not.

Thank you for the review,
~Blaze

[Tears For The Beloved (Piano)]

''''

OK. A good, nice, solid piano solo. Very soothing and whatnot. HOWEVER, because it sounds just like all the other Mac 08 July songs, I didnt like it in the contest since. It hink the judges are going to be looking for oringality in the song. And also if it makes you cry. It was very uplifting near the end. That is a bad thing in the contest lol. A very good song aside from the contest though. Good job.

Zero123Music responds:

As I can see, you are very experienced, and I should of created a bit more originality. I had not noticed how many tunes are slow piano, oh well - thanks for the kind words still, I have a long way to go in composing still though.

[Silent Tears (Piano)]

Heh.. cool.

I thought it was freaking awesome how you remixed that song into a piano solo. NICE. However, since all the songs in the Mac 08 contest are either piano solos or pianos with violins and epic sounds in them.. it wasnt considered by me to be very oringal in the contest. I give you like a 20, however, for making a remix :D

*I thnk this was a remix..? lol,...*

Zero123Music responds:

Uh-oh, I knew this sounded like something else, but I don't know what. I was passing this as my original work but obviously someone got there first grr, thanks alot for the review :-)

[Rudy P - For Naught]

uhh..

Yeah.. Ok. Drums.. a little variety in there.. it was alright for a Mac 08 contest. Had some very nice background pads and even a bass in there! Heck, this was a good song. The way you blended everything together kind of sounded odd though.. even so, I give it a solid 9 for the contest and as a song.

Fuiste responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it. Thanks for the critique, and I'll work harder on mixing in the future. Several people have talked to me about the cymbals.

[Sad²]

AHAHAHAH!!

Loogie you always crack me up. X D Sorry dude, this song just sounded awful. It was just one thing looped over and over again. Put more variety in there man!
