"Blegh"

submission: :the Composer:

date: December 29, 2008

First of all, you'd think that for a composer who is popular and experienced, he would have a better understanding of counterpoint and tonality. Very rarely will you hear a professional classical composer who is reliant on power chords and a I-V-vi-IV progression, or whatever stock progression was used. Also, if someone is that popular, it's unlikely that they'll be completely forgotten, or play piano in lounges. The day that John Adams or Philip Glass starts playing in piano lounges and sells no more albums is a day that will never come. And if you don't make it as a full-time composer, you can take a cushy job as a composition professor and get your university to play your music! The animation was good, though, and choreographed well with the music.

"Not great"

This was kind of heavy handed. It would be nice if it were a little more clever, or subtle, but oh well.

Score: 7

"Nice"

submission: Nix Timelapse

date: March 28, 2008

I don't think I've seen a "making of" style Flash done this well before. Yet, you are also somewhat noobish for including uncompressed audio. It didn't need to be 6 MBs.

"Why so poorly rated?"

submission: {BT} Composition 8

date: October 23, 2009

This is pretty good! There are a few sections where it doesn't feel focused and it kind of rambles on in these sections a bit, but overall it's pretty good and quite well written. Good motivic development, especially.

Score: 10

"Interesting"

submission: Improvisation Nr 2

date: July 27, 2009

Was this whole thing improv, or did you plan any of it beforehand? Quite good for improv, either way. I do a lot of improv, but I'm primarily a modal composer, so I'm not so great with improvising tonally, or with conventional melodies. Anyway, it's good for improv, though the chords are kind of stock (some circle of 5ths progressions, if I'm not mistaken).
