I'm giving a generous rating because they don't really matter. Not my favorite of yours but it sounds like you're getting bored now that you've mastered every style in music composition and are going balls-out minimalism.
Hope you're doing well with your bands. I'll be checking out those tracks in a bit. Personally I've been knee deep in cats again. I might want to use some of your music in my current project, but don't quote me on that.

Sounds like a good rough draft of a decent beat. It sounds like it goes out of beat near the beginning a few times and sporadically throughout.
I absolutely hate when people take singing tracks and up the pitch to chipmunk levels (Especially in this case where it sounds like it hurts the track more than helps). If you got rid of the vocals it and cleaned it up, then it would be pretty sweet.

Hmm I dont really agree with the part about the "chipmunk" thing you said, but if thats ur opinion and I do respect that. I also appreciate the review.
..and yea there are a couple times where it's like a millie millie millisecond off beat.
Thx.

The melodies with the auto-tune feature don't sound too bad. Lyrics are pretty blah. Impressive for your first attempt at music.

But did anyone else notice that the guitar riff is like the same as the intro to M.A.S.H. ? I kept expecting it to continue and do the whole theme. Anywho, it works for what it is.
Author's Response:
No it's not... Completely different key and it's not arpeggiated.

I thought this was just some generic tune you made but at 1:25 it sounds effing great and then even better at 2:01.

Personally I would add the tiniest bit of a delay effect on the whole thing. Overall this would be excellent in any sad scene, HOWEVER!
I had this on while I was watching some youtube video of some kid on a modified powerwheels and the contrasting elements of this song and that scene really made for an eerie combination.

I wouldn't call it denial as it has somewhat of an uplifting overtone to it. All in all a great piano piece (apart from the ending). I think maybe having the top notes trickle out in 3's (best way I can describe it without demonstrating) would help end it better instead of a quick fade.

K. thanks for the advice, I'll have to try that... :)

The production value of your music is always incredible. It's so professional yet it doesn't deviate from your creativity (as if you went to a studio and had it professionally recorded, edited, but didn't follow any of their 'suggestions' to make it sound like everything else that's selling). That and the melodies are always great.
I dig the phasered drums around 0:23 (sounds like something I would do).
After I get this massive project I'm currently working on out of the way, I'm going to make my next animation (hopefully) feature your music exclusively to get your name out some more because you seriously are my favorite musician in general.

Up to about 1:00 and when it starts heading out around 2:15 are my favorite parts. The middle part needed something more than just changing keys, which is a big sign of 'oh shit I made this sound awesome but I have no damn clue what to do with it now.'
That's totally understandable. We have all been there. Personally I've found it's better to make shorter songs than draw out a cool idea past its welcome.
All in all, though, I really enjoyed this.
