The beat work isn't bad, but the piano riff playing right the way through became intensly annoying. Also it wasn't dark enough nor atmospheric enough to be a horror track...maybe if you had dropped the repeating piano after the intro and gone for a darker pad and a bit more texture it would have worked better. |

yeah ok. cheers i appreciate it, helps to get constructive crit. thanks again. |

My comments came across a little too negative then. The track itself is good enough, it is just the piano really started to get on my nerves which I think tainted everything else I had to say :) Some other people may actually like it...hopefully they will give it a listen :P |

yeah heres hopin, i kinda had halloween soundtrack in my head which does carry a similar thing with the piano but changes key, maybe if i changed key with the piano it may have broken it up a lil but i kept with that and decided to run with it. |

oh and don't be affraid to voice yr opinion, even if you think its a negative one, music is personal i think so i don't expect evryone to like my stuff and also i would prefer criticism becasue it helps 2 improve, gnerally its hard to distance yrslef from yr own sounds sometimes so i do appreciatte it. |

well i'm goning to post this becuase i just received the most favourable review of one of sever n am so excited i could follow through so here it is... "The piano and the thunderous bass set this track up for a real scare. Then the samples and the beats come in. The beats it should be said remind me of some of Aphex Twins work, quite well put together. A very good coupla scream samples work well to further terrorise the listener. There are some great little tricks to be listened to, and if you like the darkside this is for you." |

hey i just listened to your track. I would say i like the back-ground parts of this track more than the piano melody. I like the sequencer tricks, and the drum programming. and i would guess there is a lot of other interesting stuff that i could pick up on on repeated listens but, i find the piano melody to be a bit obnoxious as the track goes on. I think if you added a couple accompanying melodies, or fucked up the piano line a bit more often or just lowered it's level to bring it into the background a bit more, it would help to make it less grating. Don't get me wrong though. I think it's cool that you are stirring some horror into the genre. I am a huge fan of skinny puppy and i think that what they did for industrial music needs to be done to IDM. Maybe you are the person to do it? maybe not? keep pluggin' away, it's the only way to be certain. |

thanks man i appreciate that some kind words and i think yr right i'm noticing that with this track that something needs to be done to the piano so i may have a dig, a few people have said a similar thing and i do really appreciate it, it helps me improve. as far as being someone who would be responsible for injecting something new into idm, i would be very happy if i was seen as so, and its inspiring to think that someone else has that view, tho just doing it is satisfying enough, allthough i don't kid myself in the fact i have a few more things to learn i hope i never stop learning and this input helps more than u know. thanks. |

nice one man :) i like the percussion a lot, as ecnadniarb said maybe the piano riff gets a bit annoying after a while.. there's nothing wrong with the riff itself though, it fits the track well imo but maybe you could make it sound a little more loud or leave it out at some parts in the track still it's good, it's scary 8| and that's the intention probably :) |

i was listening to Scorn's album 'evanescence' today. the first track, "silver rain fell," uses a looped simple piano part that does not get annoying. i think it's because it is used more like a background synth pad upon which the song is built and it also turns off and on to distinguish song parts; verse and chorus etc... a good listen for you i would think if you have not yet heard it. it came out in 1994 on earache records. |

yeah i'll have a look for it cheers. |
