Broadjam Artist: Randy Calligan
Song: The Long Train Ride Home

Reviewer: M. Ryan McClure

Positive Comments: I really enjoyed it. If the instruments were digital (maybe they’re not?), then I couldn’t tell. I found it to be a moving work, with potential to be used in film, tv or advertisements. Overall, I really liked it!

Constructive Comments: My only constructive comment is maybe try to vary the background oom-pa-pa a bit, either rhythmically or move it into a different tonal register or something like that.

Broadjam Artist: Geoff Martin Preston
Song: Miyamoto’s Sword “Two Heavens As one”

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: I like the plucked instrument you chose for the main part.

Constructive Comments: I didn’t care much for the swirling synth in the background. The plucked instrument with orchestration or some sort of warmer sound would really add a layer of transparency for me. The swirling sound gave the whole thing a feel of electronic synth music whereas for me the song had a strong potential to illicit emotion.

Broadjam Artist: jim Finan
Song: Meeting You Again

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: The song definitely took me by surprise…. lots of fascinating twists and turns. You did a very nice job of incorporating different sounds to facilitate those changes. The piano was excellent, not only the tone but the playing…. VERY unusual piece which is what I loved the most.

Constructive Comments: I didn’t care much for the synth on the ending…. but if that’s all I can find to bitch about you must’ve done a pretty job

Broadjam Artist: SKY HIGH MUSIC LABS
Song: Gone To The City

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: You’ve done quite a lot of work on this… the fiddle was excellent. It sounds like a live recording.

Constructive Comments: Was a good song for what it was…. the recording itself left a little to be desired, but if it was recorded live I understand. Overall I liked the song and that’s what really counts

Broadjam Artist: Hattie Wilcox Music
Song: Elizabeth (solo piano)

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: Oh thank God… something original. Someone actually wrote something. This is a very nice piece of music, and it was played very well. I particularly love the tempo flowing so naturally and the different emotions that I felt while listening.

Constructive Comments: Nothing negative to say…. I would love to hear this expanded and orchestrated in parts…. I cant tell you what a relief it is to hear ORIGINAL music…. there is a god

Broadjam Artist: Norb Studelska/Upper Air Disturbance
Song: Ave Maria

Reviewer: Randy Calligan

Positive Comments: One of my all time favorite pieces of music. You obviously put a lot of work into this. The recording and orchestration was done quite well

Constructive Comments: a bit too pretty for my taste… the prettiness lost some level of emotion for me.
