Broadjam Artist: Rocky Larson
Song: Winter Storm

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: This entire instrumental was well put together. This is the type of play you would hope to hear when going to see an orchestra play.

Constructive Comments: This was exceptional. From the flutes appearing to offer the listener passage to the drums climactic entrance. This is an audio version of an artist painting his most vivid and inspired work or watching the movie hero gracefully go about avenging the loss of his loved ones. I wouldn’t change/modify or adjust anything in this piece. Even the unexpected addition of the Triangle adds an element that only helps to solidify the feeling. Again, very, very well done.

Broadjam Artist: Powerklash
Song: She’s The Only One

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: This song reminds me of Green Day.

Constructive Comments: This is a well done song. The chorus has a Green Day feel to it. I don’t hear anything in particular that stands out in a negative way. I can’t say that I would change anything.

Broadjam Artist: Patrick E. Muth/Catnip Pat
Song: BEFORE THE WORLD STOPS SPINNIN!

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: This piano piece of the song gives me the feeling of an old country western (not a bad thing) tv show/movie.

Constructive Comments: The overall feel of the song is good. Very upbeat and playful. If I had to suggest anything for this song, it would be to decrease the panning slightly. Having the background vocals more towards the center will allow the song to have more of a fullness to it.

Broadjam Artist: robert wesley
Song: Midnight Impulse

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: This instrumental reminds me of a television drama or the part of a movie where the main character experiences his greatest loss.

Constructive Comments: I don’t hear anything in this instrumental that needs adjustment. The chords are played exceptionally well and the underlying feeling isn’t fleeting. It keeps it’s balance throughout the entirety of the song. Very well done.

Broadjam Artist: Gladstone Avenue
Song: Just Another Dawn with Julia Schmidt

Reviewer: Jonah Wayz

Positive Comments: The artists vocals remind me of Celine Dion.

Constructive Comments: The vocal delivery in this song is very good. The artist carries a chord when she needs to and doesn’t overwhelm the track with high pitch vocals just for the sake of using them. If I were to suggest anything, it would simply be to add slightly more attention to the vocals. By this I mean, maybe pan the instruments slightly more – allowing for more of a cavity in the center of the track so the vocals can be more prominent without any one instrument vying too much for the same space. The vocal tone is so key to the song that I think they need to be emphasized a tad bit more.

Broadjam Artist: Michael Patrick Hogan
Song: Hymn Of Hope

Reviewer: Ante Novaselic

Positive Comments: An excellent job composing this piece of music. The dynamics were felt exactly where they were supposed to be felt. I can hear this being played during the closing credits of a feature film. Good stuff and not easy to do I would think.

Constructive Comments: No suggestions here. It speaks for itself. Great work!!!

Broadjam Artist: Brenda Craven
Song: Evening Strut

Reviewer: Nigel Barrett

Positive Comments: Nice mix and quality of sound. Some lovely passing jazzy notes in there!

Constructive Comments: Only thing for me on initial hearing is that the piano sounds too midi with not enough feel, something I was pulled up for and took on board when re-recording one of my jazz pieces. In other words it sounds too clinical/robotic.
