alright, i think the sweat was a bit salty but the labium was the proper tenderness. |
||||||||
|

Don't expect it to sound like Autechre or anything hi-tech. |
||||||||
|
|

01 zenith : i thought the wind sound was a bit cheesy... maybe something that is real would sound 10 times better, like a recording of a storm or something, but thats just my opinion... when the song does get going its actually really nice and spooky... maybe it just goes a little long tho... 02 yaupon : its quite new agey sounding, i like it. 03 xanthic sky : very nice one, i like, wish it would have been a longer track tho, it could be quite an epic... ... i played a few more random ones after that... they make me think a little of the short BOC interludes, not bad stuff at all :) |

Stars, Moon and Night okay, this song could honestly be in a SNES rpg! simple, the melody rises and depresses. when i first started making music i alwasy did that da da da, da da du, da da da, da da du if you worked on it some more it could be a really great piece of work. for the meantime, im gonna accociate it with Secret of Mana. |

Would be helpful to know which ones you want reviewed so we know which are best! Listening to a couple random ones... my stuff is up at my best four pieces I think, any of them are good to check out |

Zenith: Panning on the wind is boring, side to side with a basic white noise sound, been done to death. Not much of a fan of the piano line, but I like what comes over it, good juxtoposition on those two sounds, piano fades a little suddenly though. Fading from one thing to the next in the same sort of way isn't doing it for me. Some neat transitions from one sound to the next, maybe vocoder or something? I started getting bored with the line and lack of progression pretty quickly. Yaupon: Much better mesh of the sounds. The pad and the melody don't sound as distant as Zenith. Simple, a little repetitive, but works for what it is, little filler. Simplicity is nice sometimes, this is one of those times Giant Albino Rinocerose: I listened to half a dozen of them and decided this would be fine since it was one of the better ones. This has more progression than the others I was listening to, this is better in the subtlety you're trying to capture. I still think you're WAY overdoing the repetitive loops, even for ambient because the tempo is a little fast for the loop length. The wind/white noise sounds much better in this piece than Zenith. You got a good pad foundation in some areas, but a lot of work to get things up to the next level, you need to progress these pieces, have some transitions and maturing lines |

Thanks, thats a good review Sangiune, I'll try to review your stuff in a while. Gwely Mernans - Review Memphisto Phelian - This is a nice track, very mysterious, I think of the desert and wandering around in the sagebrush, in the middle of the night. It sounds like something that would belong in the background of a videogame like Fallout 2. Spies of the Court - Very nice, this has a similar tone to it, this track could go into the background of the latest Silent Hill game. Vis Ma Jour - Very good track, I like how it really progresses, I thought this was your best track of the three, I especially like the ending. |

Teapot, I just listened to the Xeutre album (the entire thing mind you). Overall it was a decent album, great in some areas, not so great in others. It reminded me a little of Autechre's Chiastic Slide. Resurrection/Extended was my favorite track on the album, the light ambient wave that drives the track sounded a little familier, maybe something I've heard from Thomas Dolby... Let Down By Those You Love, was a very nice little piece. Worth was a good one too. The album was good, but the scratchiness kind of gets repetitive, and makes the whole album seem like one overly long track. |

zenith- cool melody, nice bgm.. the rain sfx are a little trite, as is the panning. otherwise its ok to listen to yaupon- just fine. short and ok *realizes how many tracks you have on here and skips to the end* anopenspace- same sounds as yaupon. i like the melody fine. it would be nice if this had a rhythm track. ok ill listen to more... jacana- was about to be really cool until the piano came in. oobe- this is more like it, nice thick ambience, a little boring and the dsp is a little obvious/upfront, still my fave so far. quasi memory- best one. almost flawless, reminds me of lucidikah. keep making tracks like this. paints a picture, sets a tone. good work. thats all i have time for atm. cheers here's some pomme tracks. |

that track title puts me in mind of Led Zeppelin floating around in the Milky way! |

i think i reviewd some of this stuff before. i just thought it needed a bit more depth. but its a good start. keep sharing. |

i've listened to reticle and zenith, i also have oobe but haven't heard it yet. i think with both of these tracks you've got 5% of a track stretched out far too thin, there's not enough going on and not enough interesting going on to justify the repetition. i like the filters on the piano sound of zenith at about 2:35, that 5-10 secs could be the kernel of a track, but the piano on its own and backwards, too simple, uninteresting. the melody is too basic, almost awkward, and the treatments too cliché. reticle is just a looped track stretched out to four minutes and then played backwards. anyone who's spent any time making their own music will spot pointless gimmicks like reversing a track in an attempt to make an uninteresting track interesting. i hope i'm not too harsh, but i have to be honest, because i think you've got some idea kernels there that could be developed much further, and some nice sounds, but you've got to take it to the next level, and then the next level, and so on. keep working, and don't give up on a track so soon, keep developing and testing and modifying and finding new techniques and sounds. you've got a good start, but you don't have complete tracks yet. |

Yeah, I know it's repetitive, and I used a lot of things in reverse, I don't really have any equipment right now, I made the whole thing using a cheap midi keyboard. |
||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|

Pomme de Terre, I reviewed the 6 tracks inside the Zip file. Docca - Very nice, I like the scratchy beats, and I really like the ambient background waves. The little voice thing at the end was a nice playful touch. Breakfast of Infamy - Nice short track. Francis Gay III - Sounds like Autechre, and Aphex Twin (SAW II) type stuff. Really nice, I like the background ambience very well. Judacalla - I like the light keys in the background, but the beats kind of kill it though. Baby Birds - Excellent track, kind of reminds me of video game music, also reminds me of Aphex's flim. I like the melancholic sounds very well. Analeapt2 - This is an okay track, but it seems too repetitive. And doesn't really compare to the rest of your stuff. |
