Broadjam Artist: Tristyn Leach
Song: The Defeated ( instrumental)
Reviewer: Edmond Allmond
Positive Comments: Soundtrack- styled beginning… the front of a story… what does it tell?… The builds presented sometimes carry you into empty space. One thinks a certain melodic line is a vehicle carrying you somewhere, and then, poof! you’re on your own, floating above the next part of the piece…This is an interesting piece. I would even like to hear this fully orchestrated and played by analog instruments, with voices. That could be tremendously fun.
Constructive Comments: I would pull back the hits a bit in the beginning of mix to give them more gravity. I want to feel their weight… The second percussive voice in the song, the two hits at the very beginning, those have the voicing, and sit in the mix the way I wish the others did.That is confirmed for me when you make the crescendo at 2:00 and then fall into just the upper voices, no bass, for the remainder of melodic line. The emotional gravity you create in this move could be matched by the mix suggestion I made, I believe…Your sensitivity to the dynamics needed to push this piece draw me in. Well thought out. Thank you.
