After hearing Ghosts and Gremlins... curiousity got the better of me. So I'm back... and much to my surprise, your caliber withstands throughout this piece as well. My god man, I'm so impressed right now I daresay I will listen to many more. Your right up there with Edgen, Winterwind and MaestroSorrow. Very talented work. I look forward to the rest of your pieces.
The background strings that played 16th notes (I think) added a beautiful touch. The Constant ringing of the bell gave it an ancient touch. It builds into a beautiful and abrupt ending. Applause my good sir. You will soon own many top spots on the charts. Hopefully my MMD Approved 5/5 will help :).
Good luck with futures works.

I wasn't expecting much more than some feedback on Ghosts and Gremlins, so thank you very much for the time spent writing these wonderful reviews!
Oh, and those were triplet eighths. ;)
To be honest, I don't view myself as up to par with all of you classical Gods; I feel as though I haven't branched out yet enough to get a sense of different dimensions of the vast expanse that is the orchestra. But all in good time, of course.

Yet the ending and parts of it sound muffled and difficult to decipher. Lower the volume a touch and equilize it if u can. Not sure this is incredibly classical either... but hey... it's close enough. Well done. 4/5... mostly because it's short and the sound quality is a bit off :). Thanks for this mate :).

Thank's alot for the review (you're my first). Yeah I agree, this isn't exactly classical... I have trouble fitting ANY of music under a specific genre.
Also, I'm not sure why this turned out lower quality than my other songs... Oh well.

This piece is very moving and uplifting. Truly a great work of art. I wish the piano sounded a bit better though, but I don't dare penilize you for it... since this is a great piece. Carry on the great works, I look forward to seeing your advancement in the NG Audio portal :).

This is excellent music for any game, movie or... well anything. It's atmosphere is perfect for something sneaky and magical. Great Great Great work here... thats a MMD Certified 5/5. Not that it matters that much... ur work is very high grade. Thanks for sharing.
Uhmm... dun usually ask for this... but my newest piece "The Final Movement"... hit a zero within a couple minutes of submission... I'd appreciate it if u gave it a score and review of fair value. Much appriciated :).

Aw, sweet, a review from the Milkman himself!
Thanks a load for the review and support. I see that your song has recovered a bit, but I still owe it to you, so I'll get cracking on that. ;)

Your 15 I see... meaning u likely do not attend a high level school.
I've heard MANY school bands... none... and I mean none... have ever produced sound of this caliber... expecially from kids your age... it just doesn't happen unless u go to a school for the extremely gifted.
And not to mention wealthy... since I hear an assortment of instruments that would be extremely expensive for a school to own. Of course u say u added your instruments.... but I doubt u have anything so elaborate that you can synthesize any of what I'm hearing... and not to mention fit it in so well. I'm sure with a bit of searching I will find this exact piece played sound for sound, except credited to the proper author.
Be ashamed... be very ashamed... the people here aren't stupid.
excuse me while I blow he whistle and let the admins have a listen for themselves.

Meastro your in big trouble mister :)... I sent you that collab weeks ago and have heard nothing from you since. I'm afraid u've forgotten me again. Well... besides that point. This particular piece... hmm.. I'm not sure it's up to caliber with all your others. It's good in it's own right... but something always sounds a bit off. Not sure what... it's my ear always listening for things. :)... regardless great work man... u never receive less than a 5 from me anyways :P
Author's Response:
oh Dan, you know I love you. I've already told you about that collab, but it WILL BE DONE! By heaven and hell, it WILL BE DONE!
thanks for the review man, means a good deal coming from you.

Wut the hell Winterwind?... what are you doing on newgrounds still... your no amateur anymore. It's time you went to bigger projects... do you have an orchestra in your backyard or what? Truly... this is the work of musical geneous unlike anything I could ever accomplish. Take you work somewhere, where shiny men in fancy jackets can smoke a pipe and hand you 100 dollar bills. Great work mate... I truly appriciate work like this.
Author's Response:
I appreciate ur wrk as well.
and to be honest, i dont intend to do anything too big with music
i just want to make music for small online communities. That alone will suffice. and no i dont have an orchestra in my backyard :-)
thanks for ur review

Good Sir XayberOptix,
I've met my match... I bow to you. If you were to make more classical pieces you would surely be loved more than I could ever hope. Your piano skills are evident and bold. Thankyou for this piece, I'm in absolute awe with it's emotion and beauty. It reminds me of a piece I wrote called "Ode to Angels"... except... well yours is better :P. 5/5 for you... and a hope to see more classical and top pieces out of you.
Deepest Regards
Daniel Collin Leigh Stang

hehe.. you're so silly. I'm just another guy out in the world who loves writing music for the love of music. Whatever comes to mind when I sit down in front of my studio, that's what gets put on tracks. In this case, this melody had been lingering in my mind all day so I just had to let it out. hehe. Take care.

I was listening to our Collabs that we made... the two of em... and it dawned on me. Maestro your a genius. This piece of work... is fast and furious... brilliant and composed by a true artist. I marvel at your greatness... I'll even wash your feet.
I'm working on that new collab... and I have the old one ready in good copy. BTW... what u sent me in email was great... but it was most certainly lacking something... please tell me if u feel the same. The new collab... well... get ready for cream in the pants. Hope to work with you soon.
Dan
Author's Response:
For sure Dan, that piece is lacking a great deal, and i'm working to remedy that ;). Try to believe me when I say our other collabs sounded like that at the beginning as well, it will work out ^^. Its just so damn hard this time around, cuz you've REALLY outdone yourself with that piece!
Many thanks for the review Dan, I hope to hear the new collab, and newer version soon ^^.

I see the power of music in quite capable hands here. This is a powerful ambiance and masterpiece. Love the piano and use of the synth. Barely ever gets messy so it's a 5/5 for you sir. Drink your milk mate :).
Author's Response:
A masterpiece huh? I wouldn't go that far, but hey, I'm not complaining! ^_^
