Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Song builds really well to a pleasant climax. Nice melodies throughout. Thematic sounding, this song has good potential for licensing. Good programming, parts are well defined and develop well. Writer has a great sense of how each instrument should be played, the parts are exceptional.
Constructive Comments: 7 seconds pass before the song started, try to have the best production on your tracks, you are seen as more professional. I have a hard time listening to songs where all instruments are keyboard based so my constructive comments would be to try to infuse some live instruments into your production. An emotional song like this would have a lot more power and impact if presented with more live musicians and the emotion that they could bring. Sounds were dated but I know you are working with what you have, not everyone can afford to hire musicians or purchase expensive sounds, I’m in the same boat. I try to blend sounds to create something not so common. From an arrangement point of view there were a few spots which felt awkward or out of place… the repeat of the 4 bars at 1:54 (an obvious copy and paste). This spoiled your attempt (because of the midi) at a ritardano for me. Not to mention the short length (could have perhaps had a repeat of a section) but maybe you wanted it short for theme song or placement purposes 🙂
