[L.S.D (House) (W.I.P)]

Could use alot of work

You've got the house structure down pat, but the drums could use a bit of EQ... and the melody is so disharmonic that it's hard to listen to. When choosing notes for your melody, listen to how they fit together with the other notes. If you hear a nasty wobbling or distorted sound, that means the frequencies are cancelling parts of eachother out and making a bad sound, meaning the notes weren't meant to go together. What you need to work on in most of your songs is the disharmonic melody, since you've got the other elements (mixing, rhythm, and structure) just right.

To see what a harmonic set of notes versus a disharmonic set of notes sounds like, play the chord C E G ... and then play the chord C C# A. CEG makes a nice, almost heavenly sound, but C C# A makes a wobbly unsettling noise.

Keep workin on it man, I hope my review helps.

I see. I'll test it out :)

[AA - Heart's Chambers]

Soothing.

It has a very soothing sound to it, but I can feel that it has a sad or nostalgic undertone to it.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Hey man . Thanks for the review. I miss you man, you almost done with your awesome project ? :/

[<o> A|A <o> Eclipse]

Whoa lol

I'm diggin that robot sounding part. I get the feeling that someone was enjoying something nice, but it was gradually taken from them, and they get really sad... later reflecting memories on the lost thing (person, situation, or object).

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Mhmm .. Not exactly the way I pictured it . It was just a very awesome system I created . Hahaha . =P I will PM you on my new account bro . -Peace

[<o> A|A <o> Horizon]

Hmm...

Yeah I'm back, I went on a camping trip.

This song is pretty intense. it loops pretty well, I like that melody the string does. My only problem with it is how the weird sounding sample at 0:05 is off beat.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

It's supposed to be off beat Hahahah . XDDDDD It was a song about chaos . =P
Thanks for the review . :3

[AA - Where Are You?]

Damn dude,

I like how philosophical and psycological your descriptions are. The song itself is pretty good, it feels christmassy/wintery, but it has that tone of deep thought hidden inside of it.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thankyou, I worked really hard improving all plane fields of life . Physical, mental, psychological . I am self taught in everything I do . May it be music, art, etc. The program I am using I did get help from someone named DJInTheDark. ;o Rest of it I inherit naturaly . I really don't know why.. It all came to me over night when I was 151/2 strangely enough O.O
I always had a notion for things can be all mastered if you set your mind to it, nothing in life has a complex pattern not even computers, they were all built, and knowledgably supposed to be used by humans in all forms . So there is no such thing as ''complex'' it's only if you make it complex .. ^^

[AA - Ashes]

Nice bro

You do a good job of perfectly describing the song. It's kinda a depressing topic, but you made it a little happier in the end with the people being rescued. Though there are some disharmonics, I feel that it keeps with the theme at hand, and makes it work in the end.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . Thankyou . I got a 10 =D I posted my other song just now, and remember, my songs will always have a teaspoon of chaos . I don't like it dull, our minds realms are twisted and overturned, then lacerated, and then put together in even more forms . So that is then showing, that my songs will be highly strong, and emotional, but will also cause people to say, huh ? Oh well, I will bare with it, or get upset. Either way it stays the way it is . =P Thankyou again . =D

[AA - Time Goes By]

ooo

I really like this one, it sounds intense. I could honestly say I'd like a song that sounds like this to go in my game I've been working on. It just kinda feels like there's some sense of perpetuality, and you can see civilizations rise and fall in fast motion.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Damn, just curious, what did I do wrong in this song ? I never seem to earn that awesome 10 from you, even with my best songs . ;o I sense a challenge, I love challenges, I will get that 10 probably with my next song . Muahahahah =P . 29 more minutes bro . TWENTY NINE =D Thanks for the review :3.

[RD2010 AA - Fire's Depths]

Pretty neat

This also works for a robot theme. It didn't really have that cool feeling that your other songs had though, like the surreal sounding basslines. I think it sounds kinda like a malfunctioning machine, but it isn't completely haywire. Damn, I wish I could do some music for Robot day, but I don't feel quite inspired. BTW, alot of people don't like industrial music because they don't hear the melodies and grooves in the glitchy factory like sounds, and the only industrial they do like are usually stupid electric guitars and hammer drums.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol, thanks . You do know..This is my FIRST song . Right ? =P Seriously, my 1st song that started the rest of the songs . XD I still love this one, =P .
Thanks for the review bro .

[RD2010 AA - My Rustache]

Lol sweet.

Sounds very rusty, like metal rubbing against old gross corroded metal to make a scratchy sound like that. I can't tell what the speech tracks are saying at the end though lol, I think that contributes to the mood though.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Really ? Lol . It's saying, Testing, 1,2,3 . Don't ask, I always add a teaspoon of chaos in my music . So there will always be purposely , and well placed off key notes . Or something that goes off rhythm a bit, but sitll holds the song together . Thanks for the review =D . I am surprised you never checked out Time Goes By . That is by far my best ambience . ;O

[AA - Luminous Shadows]

"ur not paragonX9, i give it a 0"

This song is pretty intense, I think it fits your description very well. I'm digging that vibrato you put on the violin to make it sick sounding. Keep making music bro, it's alot more interesting than most of what NG has to offer.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . Many thanks man . I compose with my heart, I don't jsut slap notes on just because it sounds awesome . I love the mind's structure, and the words of our soul . I speak through judgement, not garbage . Another great review :3
Just so you know, I been only composing for 17 days now . =P Not even a month ..
Imagine what I could make then XD .
