hey man i really liked a lot of your tunes.  I was quite impressed and pretty good quality of sounds as well.  I enjoyed path through forest and the piano one very much.  I happen to be working on some songs right now on reason as well and Id like to share them with this group and see what people think.  But again man great job, and i look forward to talking with you.

My First Post!  Wowowooweewah...

Yes Mike, you definitely don't suck.

"Flashback" reminds me of a Chopin nocturne, esp. the left hand's steady cadence contrasting with the grace notes interspersed in the melody.  I dream of the sheet music.

Ah ha! I knew I'd find your first post if I kept hunting! Welcome, ghostman! Be sure to post in the Intros section so we can all give you a proper PS welcome. (And glomps!)

I hadn't seen your post before. I like your music. I haven't listened to them all yet, but I really like the instruments... What do you use for the sounds? I know a lot of people use Garritan Personal Orchestra just because it's so affordable.

Your dungeon waltz is pretty neat. lol  I also like The Flashback, nice and simple, not too over-the-top. Piano Intro is very nice as well - pretty and light. I like Awaking from a Dream also, very usable as game music, as is The Nightmare. The Nightmare is just a tad repetitive for my taste though.

I have a few constructive criticisms... Crossing the Sea, I think, has missed the mark by quite a bit. Also, as far as the song writing, it's nowhere near as well-written as some of the other songs. The battle theme, Attack, has terrible mixing compared to the rest. Instruments that should be softer are too loud, and the overall mastering of the piece wasn't as well done as other pieces.

Town of Alexia is nice, but I think it would have been nice to hear a few more instruments: Some strings, more predominant pizzicato, and a high wind instrument of some sort, perhaps a flute or piccolo.

In Path Through the Forest, the string intro sounds very familiar, as to parts of it throughout. Something inspired by a piece in FF9 by any chance? :P   I like it a lot though.

The Temple is simple but effective. I would have liked to hear a change in piece instead of just the cello "duhduh duhduh duhduh duhduh" the whole time.


Overall, I'd say that you have a pretty good knack for writing game music. You actually make good use of your dynamics and choice of instrumentation, which people usually overlook if they're not paying enough attention. Nice work, you should definitely submit some of your music on Sakari Infinity sometime. :)
