OMG!

OMG, t1s s0 b3long5 in LOTR lol lol

Seriously, between you and Edgen, it's getting old. The melodies are tired and recycled, the percussion is way over utilized, and the secondary melody in the strings is winding without any purpose. Sooner or later, someone's just going to make a Flash game that makes "original" music of this style.

MaestroRage responds:

I realize it's not that original, and it's not that diverse, but keep in mind here that this is a loop for a GAME. A game entails that the player is to pay attention to what's going on in the game, and the music must be built in a way that it does not get mad tiring to listen to quickly. Very diverse and constantly shifting music tires out the ear and melody much faster then ambient oriented pieces.

So to say that this piece has no definite direction would be an accurate statement, I disagree with you on the percussion. I feel that it's chaotic structure helps provoke a more tribal and raw energy. I suppose you didn't get that, to each his own.

As for that flash, I quite look forward to it, from what i've heard from you I don't now how you would tackle a high energy piece, so I can't comment, but if you're going to go so far as to say that to me, at least have the decency to show me exactly how to make something thats not "tired" and "recycled". If you are incapable of doing that, don't start talking in such a hostile manner. As far as i'm concerned, you have no credibility to your words, and your review is worthless to me.

Thank you for the review however, and for your time.

Cool

That was great! 5/5. Just too short. Maybe for the end the piano should end and the strings should do a reprise using a chord progression from the beginning. If you want to make it longer or can't think of a better end, I think that would be good. It was also disappointing how you stopped using the layered suss/resolve tones in the end. Anyway, it was cool.
