This rox <:

Like I can hear this shit on the radio, it's perfect. I love the creative vocal production dotted everywhere. ~

headphoamz responds:

Haha! Thank you m'dear!

[Submerged]

Very heavy chords! I love the soft paced piano holding the rhythm and the pizzicato strings later on. Goodness, it just sends many feels. Your sounds are super too, no qualms about quality. It does take a bit for build up, but I'm happy for the length; most tracks of this caliber on ng last about 2 minutes, which is hardly cinematic. Excellent experience <3

stunkel responds:

Thanks for reviewing sir!

It's good that the song sent you through many feels because that was one of my goals when writing this :p And I take you saying my sounds are good as a huge compliment, I personally don't think so (don't get me wrong East/West has amazing content, I just don't know how to use it properly), but I do appreciate you saying that because that is what I have been working on more so lately. With my songs I tend to take my time while building it up... Perhaps I should try a song that changes up more often and is more dynamic in that sense. It would be a nice challenge since I don't do it so often.

Thanks again for taking a listen :D

[Mystic's Shore]

etherealwinds responds:

[Ascension]

Oh god. I hit favorite when you said river you know just how to strike a note with the right chord. Ugh this is so powerful guhhhh

headphoamz responds:

Aww thanks man. Makes me happy :D

[Pride]

Wow, I love your voice! Those harmonies are so spot on, what great feeling and choir! Good luck in ngadm, but you won't need luck with a voice like that. 5/5 and a fave.

headphoamz responds:

Wah, a review from Kor-Rune! I am honored you love my voice. It was really, really fun to make those harmonies - that feeling when they come together as you're singing them is UNBEATABLE!
Thanks so much man, very proud to make your favorites list :)

[Agnos]

Uh, perfect. The timbre to your voice is so gorgeous. I love the low register notes at the beginning Your control and your tone is so spot on. How long have you been singing?

The instruments match so well too, very natural and organic. I love the slightly more distant vocals around 2:14, WOW THAT CONTROL. I liked the pause before belong, I thought it did exactly what you wanted.

give me your voice. 5/5 favorite and a follow

etherealwinds responds:

ugh I love you *___*

Thank you! I've never had a singing lesson or used singing as anything but a hobby, but until the age of 16/17, I was REALLY not very good at all. So I guess I could say I've been singing properly for 3 years, but I was making covers of songs on Youtube at the age of 13 haha. I've still got a long way to go with that.

I do have even further to go with the production side of things however. I've only really been using FL Studio for 6 months and before that, I used to make instrumentals acoustically, but the quality wasn't too good. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for following!

[This is Not the End]

You can really work those chords, every note meshes with lots of grace, those changes are fantastic. x.x

I only wish the piano had a bit more warmth in the timbre when the dynamic changes, but goodness it's written so nice. <: please keep making more and good luck in NGADM!

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks so much, Kor-Rune! Your words are kind and greatly appreciated.

I've got a GIG file piano that has a richly warm and emotional sound, but I'm having a hell of time figuring out just how to use the bloody thing without crashing FL Studio. I feel like I've come a long way since I got the DAW earlier this year, but there's still tons to learn. It makes me really happy to hear that you enjoyed the music, especially since all I have to work with are freebie SoundFonts. I try to make the best out of what I've got, and hopefully I manage to succeed in some small way. That being said, one of these days I'll save enough pennies to raid the vault at East/West! :D

[Bajo el sol, sobre las rocas]

This is fantastic, I love your mixing, that condenser is sweet, and the distortion is very tightly gated, gorgeous sounds. The drums changing at 2.24 is cool, the dynamic is superb. The crescendo at 3.10 with the panned guitar chops is sweet omg.

Solid track again, I'm happy this exists. Good luck in this round!

InYourDreams responds:

Thanks bro!! This, coming from the musician of the year in 2012, sure means a lot to me! :)... I'm glad you liked it. I'm not that happy with it, don't know why... maybe because I spent a lot of time on it and the result doesn't sound like it sounded in my head in the beginning. But I don't hate it either...

Good luck to you, too! It's gonna be a dificult round... you and SoundChris are so f&%king awesome!... I would love to learn how you play your solos and stuff... you are one amazing guitarrist... I need to practice
