[_-={Arise Sleeper}=-_]

Grrrrrrrr

You'r to good. >:( You simply blow me away with each new piece. The build up is fanctastic. and then you slow it down for the mystical tinkle of those bells. And then it swells again. Amazing stuff.

It is hard for me to truely comprahend how you can do what you do by yourself. And dont give me any of that "Any one can do what i do." stuff Because to see some one you idalise putting them selves down is heart wrenching. I know you are amazing and you should admit it too.

You shall keep submitting quality submissions for the rest of your life.

Or else!

MaestroRage responds:

I disagree! If I was able to make things that scared the crap out of people, i'd be quite happy >:D

It seems the best I can make them do is sometimes pick up an axe, and make their neighbors catch said axe with their face.

It's a fun game, the winner usually ends up paying the hospital bill...

Everything I do is self taught, which is why I believe anybody can do what I can do. It is no secret my good sir ;), I don't try to hide anything, and I don't refuse people who ask for help, like drawing. All it takes, is practice, passion, and the willingness to neglect school work *unless your school work is music, in which case, neglecting that would equal you not being here...*

I don't put myself down my good sir, but I don't put myself above others either. I make damn sure that my head never exceeds the size my skull can support.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^

[(Gillenium) Muse - DEMO]

Nice

A very nice listen. It's calm and soothing but it courses with energy and life. Wonderful stuff. Hmm Dance? I suppose it could be but its leaning more towards ambiance in my ears. None the less this is fantastically done. Keep up the good work.

Gillenium responds:

Haha, even my dance songs lean towards ambience! It's definitely dance though, dude. My first ever dance song and my first song made in Ableton Live to be released. Thanks for the review.

[Para-Noid Smoke On Water]

Very nice

An interesting take on the old beast. You seem to have an abundance of talent in this department. If you knock out some of your own tunes i can see you going very far. I love the deep creamy bass you have flooding through out this track. Wonderful stuff.

If you would can you take a look at my stuff.

Para-Noid responds:

Now Abundance of talent in tihs Department is meaning what?

Lol Creamy Bass I have flooded through lmao.

[Evil-Dog - Dreaming of Victory]

Insane

This is so emotive and wondrous it just feels amazing. Do you play all of the instruments your self? If you do fuck me your good. Simply this is wonderful. The piano is awesome in so many ways i actually had a anal bleeding session while listening. I hope to see your stuff in a record shop near me soon. :)

My only gripe is that i personally wouldn't count this as ambiance, but what do i know? You are the master.

Evil-Dog responds:

Hey dude I'm super glad you like it too!
Yeah I play the pianos and the guitars, just not the drum and the rest, strings and stuff :)
About the genre, I had no idea where to put it? Classical? electric guitar and electro don't quite fit in, industrial? not sure? video games? meh! really I didn't know, so I went with ambient like my other stuff, I hope people won't bash on that aspect hehehe :)
Thanks for the comment man!

[Love in Exotic Places]

BAH who cares for being popular anyway?

Very good guitar here. A nicely played and controlled piece of playing. The only gripe that i have with it is that there is some fuzz in the back ground. One way I've found of removing this from live recordings is to use the program audacity( don't worry its a freeware program), which has a function called noise removal. If you tweak that a bit you can get perfect clarity. Hope that helped.

LfunkeyA responds:

thanks for the review. im gettin audacity right now! :D

[SR - Lamp Shade]

Excellent

To me this is all that ambiance should be. Beautiful floating sounds. Wonderful transitions between different melodies. You simply astonish me with your range in this piece. The sounds of the ocean are wonderful although a bit irrelevant to a lamp shade. :)

Also i downloaded your Ep! You are a master of ambiance. And should probably have record deal.

If you would please check out some of my stuff that would be much appreciated.

SineRider responds:

Ah thank you so much :)

The ocean sounds I made out of pinknoise oscillator in reason. Thought I would add it.

I'd glady check out your songs

[Rig - Nebula]

Sweet

Sounds wonderful. The sweeping synths and then the drum line kicks in. This is wonderful and some what reminds me of Boards of Canada. Very well constructed. The whole thing just flows from point to point in such a natural way its just awesome. Keep up the god work man.

Rig responds:

Thank you very much. This was actually made for a contest (use those bell loops in a song). I didn't complete it on time, but I still like it. Thanks again!

[Space Bird]

Dont worrey about titles

Its the music that every one wants. And you deliver. An excellent drum loop mixed with some superb ambiance makes my mouth water. I'm literally salivating. Wonderful stuff.

My only problem is that the drums sound a bit distant and far away but other than that nice one.

Pls review .:5:.

LfunkeyA responds:

thanx a lot for the review, im checking out '5' right now, your ambience rules :).

[_-={Crumbling Cathedral}=-_]

WOOOOOO

This gives me goosebumps. So well put together. I actually feel as if in within a cathedral. The singing while beautifully done is slightly less clear than i would have liked but that woman has a wonderful range that you have exploited to its fullest. I was also just wondering did you record the bell noise and the organ your self or is a part of a pack for download.

MaestroRage responds:

The organ itself is a synth (I would like nothing more then to turn my basement into a GIANT organ!) however the bell is a recording.

I agree with you on the sense her voice could have been clearer and thus exploited better, I simply did not have the experience in equalizing to pull off the feat properly. There's no excuse for it, i'll be out to learn how to do that better the next time this opportunity presents itself :D.

I'm glad you liked the piece Red, thank you for the review, warmly appreciated ^^.

[_-={Blood Fields*Demo*}=-_]

Amazing

How can one man make such amazing music by himself? This rivals professional composers for style and flair. Utterly amazing. You my need a job in the industry perhaps in film or something of that nature. You simply amaze me with what you are doing and i can only help that you continue to do as you have been doing.

P.s. WOW!

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you kindly, but anybody can do what I do, if they neglected as much school work as I did XD!

SSH, don't tell the teachers >_>...

In all honesty I don't really intend to make money off this music, I started with my motto "Forever For Free" and I intend to stick with it. Not that means I don't hope to make money off this, but anything I make purely for myself, will always be free for the public.

I'm glad you liked the piece! Thank you for the review ^^.
