Song: <\/b>Beyond This Life<\/a><\/p>\n

Reviewer: <\/b>Floyd Kelly<\/a><\/p>\n

Positive Comments: <\/b>I hit the play button and I was transported to an unknown place, somewhere out there with this unique contemporary instrumental featuring a pianist, background choir\/pad and string section. While listening I feel as if I’m on an unknown terrain in a scene from a game like “Final Fantasy” or similar.<\/p>\n

Constructive Comments: <\/b>This part is the part I don’t like about reviews. Because I know how much work goes into making music some pieces make take a short while to put together and some take a long time. I liked this piece and at the same time has major problems in my musical opinion. I think, mostly, it’s the in the EQ\/Mixing stage which needs work to bring out the instruments and presence. I was not captivated when listening, but easily could have been if the instrumentation mixing improved. The introductory notes are jarring and I would have lowered the velocities on the first few notes to set the environment for the listener. The choir sounds flat as well as the oboe. Those two, the choir\/pad and the oboe\/flute, with the right EQ would fill up a beautiful spatial field if work was done on the reverb and stereo enhancement. The string section could use a cut in the upper-mids to rid of the “sickly” sound of the strings. And again, reverb and stereo enhancement on the strings would bring this piece up to a whole new level. I listened to this twice to make sure I am saying the correct things to help. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
