Title: Music Critics on odd song
Post by: n3tgraph on Tue 01/08/2006 09:52:26
I made this song yesterday for an intro

Fantasy Dreaming (http://www.2dadventure.com/upload/Fantasydreaming.mp3)

It is far from finished and has no effects yet.
Any crits are welcome.

I'm planning to change the organ in the end, it's too busy now
also I don't like the bass in the beginning.

oh well
:)

I think it sounds pretty good. Is the opening piano arpeggio a loop? It goes off-beat from time to time. If it is a loop, you should reproduce it manually in the sequencer. I would also pan it closer to the center. The secod part of the song is really cool (voodooish... reminiscent of Le Chuck's Theme from MI). Nice organ work!

I have no musical talent at all but it sounds very good to me, maybe I'm not really the one to judge since I can hardly string a few notes together but I would still like to say that I really enjoyed listening to that.

Man I wish I could compose music like that. :(

It reminds me of a band called "MUSE" some their stuff sounds really like that. I really liked that little solo trumpet thing at the start ;D Only thing that bugged me was the drums, they just didn't fit in well at the begining IMO.

The piano isn't really an arpeggio...
well, I mean, I did play arpeggio, but I played it manually.
The reason why it sounds off-beat is because the piano loop is in 3/4 and the drums in the second part of the first part (? :P) are in 4/4. I just wanted to fool around  :=

I realise now that the drums in the first part ruin it a little perhaps.
I'll try to fiddle with that!

To be dead honest, I borrowed the piano thing in the beginning a little from Muse.
I like the music these guys make!

Thanks for all the comments!
I'll post a full version sooner or later
