[_-={Corrupted Matrimony}=]

FWOW! (the "F" was sposed to be there)

amazing how you can turn the theme song of one of the most happy times in one's life into something so.... evil, eerie, ... and other various words to describe it.

i love the little plucks in there,
i liked the snare, and the brass in there :)
i think the second choir sounded too... computerish?? it didn't sound real, but still was really nice in the piece.

such an imaginitive mind of yours. :) i applaude your creativity.

WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THESE PLUGINS?!?!?????

i2

ps. i hate you because i love you. >_<

MaestroRage responds:

The second choir (I believe you are referring to the opera singer), is indeed quite computerish, but sadly that is the best solo voice plug-in I have, and you should hear it before I reverb the CRAP out of it X_x. It would make for a great techno synth, but yeah, for orchestral, not so much.

As for all the plugins, let me try to recall all the instruments, most of them come from East West Symphonic Gold.

East West Gold
French Horns
Pizzicato Strings (the plucky ones)
Timpini
Snare
Solo Cello
Cello Chords

East West Silver
Organ
Ah choir

Solo Opera Singer - SoundFont
Irene Borich (I think thats the last name, I could be wrong)

I think thats all of it.

Also, it's great fun to hate to love people, or love to hate them, because then confusing statements like this can be written and in your confusion you just hate them :D!

That aside though, thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked the piece!

[Shake It Off rmx]

you suck!

=) haha, just playing budddddddd
this shit's tight, stop watching me type this review! good bass.
i think you shoulda matched the melody with the vocals a bit more..

:)

supaboi responds:

so?!

[_-={The Spread of Chaos}=]

wow

i love the choir, soo deep and full of emotion with just a simple "ah"

bells were awesome! set a grave tone to it.

great percussion, it puts me in a mood right from the start.

i love how the violin sometimes hit two notes at once, almost like a violin duet or something.

i wasn't expecting a flute in here at all, but you made it fit in so perfectly!

it sounds like this song is building and building..
like everyone is gearing up for battle, they're ready for what's to come. they meetin a wide open field to see their opponent on the other side. one soldier thinks about what he's fighting for, his wife, his children, and his fellow mates. each of the leaders stare at each other ready for one to make the first move..
the bell sounds, in slow motion, yelling in complete silence, both charge towards the middle of the field.. then it fades to black...

wow.. i soooo wish i could make amazing flashes... it would go great for a war movie teaser.

i dont really have much to criticize about this, i'm a noob at orchestral pieces, but i can't help but hear some man's vocals in here, yelling at his soldiers, giving them the speach before battle... but.. i'm just thiinkin theatrics now. :)

i2

keep em comin

MaestroRage responds:

Oh look at silly Maestro replying to his reviews one week late X_x, I apologize, life has been quite unkind as of late.

In any case.

I'm glad you liked the piece i2, the images you present in your review, is quite close to the image in my head during it's construction, but with the war going nuts in my head, the song lost direction, and as said many times before, my production skills were quite lacking.

Oh well, one day I will return to this piece, polish it up nice and right, and spit it out again, remixed!

Thank you for the review i2, again, i'm glad you enjoyed the piece ^^.

[SS - Nervous Breakdown]

noice

i love the beat!!!!
and that single note makes everything seem so solemn.. sound kinda like.. ima bad ass and i'm walking down a dark hallway after i murdered these 7 men kinda music. :)

i2

DJ-Moth responds:

lol. thanks. can you raise my song too? Hey. Im just asking! 11/11

[DJ-C3 - Oddball [2:41]]

very nice!

i liked the panning, simple beat, simple bassline, simple effects, but its pretty koo.

it was just toooooooo repetitive.

i like that little breakdown though. :)

check me out

i2

C3NTAURI0N responds:

I can understand why it's a bit repetative, and the breakdown is part of my little plan for it because it was a bit repetative.
I'll check your music out!

[_-{A Warm Wind in Avalon}]

wow

yet another master piece from the maestro!

so peaceful, it almost puts me in a euphoric state, kind of like i'm dreaming, floating, drifting. it also might be because it's 4:30 am... but i'm really enjoying this right now. i was jittery just moments ago, but suddenly muscles loosen, mind clears, and i'm at ease!

your strings are always amazing. love the choir.
the flute, the bells, the guitar.. all wonderfully placed within the piece. almost as if you've set everything on a universal pallette. everything matches, meshes, annd froms into one unified being. nothing straying from the song, nothing too outrageous, nothing too far from the core. just.... one even flowing piece.

i2

p.s. love your happy stuff, but i rather enjoy your depressing/angry pieces much much more. i feel that there's more emotion in them.

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you i2, i'm glad you found the song enjoyable, and truth be told I enjoy my depressing/angry pieces more myself, but I had gotten a few emails of people saying "Cheer up man, the world isn't all black ;)" and so I thought it was time to show that MaestroRage wasn't all emo and anger issues!

Besides it was a nice break from the norm.

Thank you for the review i2, means a good deal to me.

Darthfett responds:

It's an honor when I get reviews from great artists like you guys.
The background bell tune was actually quite complicated (for me).

Thanks for the review, and keep making music yourself.
