"Nice atmosphere"

submission: Chains of Ocean and Flame+*~.0

date: August 4, 2009

One thing that's evident in this song is that the instruments have a nice, warm, spacial feel about them, particularly in the percussion. The instrumentation is wholesome, if somewhat straight forward in terms of textures and variation, but the theme's progression is really nice and mythical, and I quite enjoyed the development of the theme in the song. It was a slight disappointment for the song to just fade out at the end there, but otherwise it was quite lovely and peaceful to listen to.

Great stuff, chron!

Score: 10

"Diverse voices"

submission: Microphone Test

date: July 26, 2009

I thought you did a really good job. A lot of different and comical voices. Very practical and entertaining. 10/10, 5/5 <3

Score: 10

"Another solid recording."

submission: MWC May (Part 2 of 2)

date: July 25, 2009

"Sheathed"- A bit of a challenge to get your tongue around. I mostly don't notice the pronunciations of most of the words I use in my writing, unless I decide to read it out loud. As far as I noticed, that was your biggest stumble out of the two parts, and I must say, that's quite impressive for a full 10 minute recitation.

Again, the first perspective female feels a little awkward, especially with the line "I think I'm pregnant". As Jade mentioned earlier, you bring out some good emotion towards the end, a nice, solid finish.

Score: 10

"Your effeminate protagonist"

submission: MWC May (Part 1 of 2)

date: July 25, 2009

It throws the listener off a bit, that you're portraying the inner monologues of a woman, but as usual, your articulation is top notch and pace is good. The recording is of a high quality, too, which is great.

Score: 10

"FA-"

submission: MWC April (Part 2 of 2)

date: May 18, 2009

A tricky part to articulate, so props for getting through that. The rest of the story is well articulated. You do a good job with these, for the most part.

<3

Good story, too, but you don't get credit for that.

Score: 10

"Make Love, yes."

submission: °°Spring Adventures°°

date: April 19, 2009

This is a sweet chilled tune.
I'd really love to hear this with vocals, I really hope you finish this one. I've just been listening to it on repeat now, and it hasn't really bored me yet.
Great work, whirl. :3

Score: 7

"Not a bad effort"

submission: Song of Storms (My version)

date: April 16, 2009

You were quite accurate in notating out the song from the original, and the use of guitar pro's electric guitar was an interesting choice, however, if you're willing to invest time into making music, there are better programs out there, you just need to ask the right people and learn how to use the programs. Also, covers, to me, really need to stand out from the original, and add a whole other dynamic element to the song that was otherwise absent in the original. It's not that you're trying to make the song better than the original, just that you're trying to add your style from the same skeletal song structure.

Overall, you did at least manage to capture the essence of the original, and attempt to add a new layer to the song through your choice of instruments. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.
Nice work, for that I'll give you an encouraging 7/10 and 5/5.

"Chilled"

submission: Yucatan

date: February 25, 2009

The drums have a nice "punchy" sound to them, which gives a nice feel to the song, although the panning feels like it moves around a little too much at times. It does feel more like separate songs put together here, because the melody comes in out of nowhere, and it's a big contrast. Maybe work on bringing it in, but when you mixed it up after that, it sounded more "natural", back to the chilled feeling, while still progressing with the new theme. It could progress some more, I think, and the melody could use some polish, but it's a nice little song. Good work. :D

Score: 9

"Nice one, gloudas!"

submission: -What I Found- [RMX]

date: February 8, 2009

The nice, steady (not too fast) beat gives the song a great chilled feel. The intro sounded a bit Coldplay, a bit Evermore to me, which is great. That light, happy progression works well.

The song progresses streadily, a few key changes are nice, but it gives the impression that you're building up to something climactic, and it takes longer to reach that climax, although it feels like it should be a bit more dynamic, and a bit more energetic.

With that being said, I think this song is very good. Steady, well paced, quality is great, and I'm clutching at straws to find things to critique on. A solid 9/10, a very enjoyable tune. Thanks for giving me the link.

Score: 10

"Your voice"

submission: RapeMuffin's Story.

date: January 14, 2009

It's just... so... fantastic. You're quite a storyteller. I'll have to win one of these writing competitions sooner or later, just so I can hear my words matched to your voice.

Well read.
