Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Circumstance
Reviewer: Floyd Kelly
Positive Comments: A tribal ensemble takes you on a world beat journey with a cast of tribal drums, an enticing and haunting string instrumentation, a distortion guitar and some cool sound effects. This reminds me of the music played in the movie “Gladiator” when we first see Zaccahabar Province. Recommended!
Constructive Comments: The drums in the beginning do not sound realistic that being said it is forgotten as the piece comes together with the sound effects and the violin showing up in the mix. There seems to be a thickness in the drums perhaps. The violin at around the 2:10 mark is really nice. I was hoping this would be longer by possible add of a chorus and another violin to answer the call to that last segment musically. I really think this could be extended by quite a bit, with an emphasis on the loneliness aspect musically and tell a bigger story. I gave a 5 in Overall because I like this style of music.
