I just realized how long it's been since I've written a full orchestral song. It might be nice to give this a shot!

Wow, I really like this! I've gotta admit, it's been a while since I've written a piece of music, mainly due to lack of inspiration. After listening to this though, I think I'll try again. This piece is magical. Keep writing!

First off, I really like a lot of what you've got here, though as the others have mentioned, some things could be improved. 1. Adding more structure to the song. This feels a lot like one loop that is simply repeated and expanded upon throughout the whole song. This is NOT always a bad thing, especially if it's going in an actual game and may need to be repeated a number of times to fill the entire length of the boss battle. However, it can lead to a more stale sounding piece and be quite boring if listened to on loop. My personal style would be to start off strong, quiet down a bit, and then rise back up again with the intensity of the song. Fit the mood and structure of the song to fit the dynamic of whatever the fight is suppose to be. 2. More instruments/depth. I like the intensity of the last 1/3 of the song, but the beginning feels empty in comparison. If you want it to feel tense and hollow at the beginning, add some soft strings, woodwinds, and tuned percussion in the background to give it a bit more depth. 3. Experiment with what you like! Trying new genres is fun and exciting, so mess around and see what you do and don't like when writing music. Listen to songs that are similar to what you're going for and note what you do and don't like.

Hiiiiii! This is just something I've been throwing together for a bit now. I haven't quite settled on a name for it, so any and all suggestions are more than welcome! Give it a listen and let me know what you think! All critiques welcome!

This definitely feels like a song to play in the middle of the night, in your car, with all the windows rolled down. It definitely has that kind of mellow, free feeling to it that makes it feel weightless. Personally, I'm not the biggest listener of modern pop, but I genuinely liked this song! Awesome job!

Hm, I like it! I admit, the tempo switch and sporadic use of offbeats and tuplets threw me off at first, but the more I listened, the more that I liked it and saw that it added character. The synth and piano combo definitely gave it a very unique and almost foreign feel, which I suppose is the whole point, so great job at nailing that! If suggestions are welcome, I feel like adding a droning synth in the background for the last 1/2 to 3/4 of the song would create a more broad, atmospheric feel to the piece, though your song is still very nice as it is. Great job! Keep on writing!

With as good as you are at this, you could definitely make a career out of this if that's what you wanted to!

Wow, I really like this! It's super catchy, it's really well orchestrated, and I think, for the most part, the song works really well. I think the previously made comments about notation structure and the large number of instruments used is correct, but I don't think that deters it from being a great piece. If you're still looking for name suggestions, I would recommend "Waltz of the Parting Sun" or "Waltz of the Night." I'm not sure why, but this song struck me as something to be played and danced to in the middle of the night: just a thought.

Hm, the bass seems a bit excessive on it, but the high parts are super beautiful! Refine it a bit more and that would make a killer synth!!!

Wow, there's a lot of great songs in here! A lot of the songs sounded a lot like The Offspring with a few having tinges of Panic! At The Disco vibes. Overall, this is a great album! Awesome job!

This is awesome!!! It's so well written and blended! Are you a professional?

Imagine someplace that meant a lot to you that you don't go to much anymore. A school you graduated from, a house you moved out of, a favorite restaurant that closed down, a childhood play-place or hangout area for your friends that you haven't gone to in ages. Now imagine walking through that place while listening to this. (Critiques and suggested edits are more than welcome!!! 🙂)

This is designed to be a madrigal march/processional style song for people to slowly march to; it's semi-grand entrance music basically. It's also designed to have sections repeated, since it's for an event that can vary in the amount of time needed to be filled by music, so there are a number of repeated parts. I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommended edits! This actually is a remade version of a song titled "Orchestra Piece," but I changed it so much that it wasn't the same song anymore to the point where it's not really the same song anymore.

I personally loved this piece. It gave me the atmospheric feeling (pun intended) that I was floating through space, admiring the stars, nebulas, and galaxies alike. That being said, if I may, I would like to make a countercriticism to whether music about space should be emotional rather than nothing. It could be said that space is seemingly nothing, but I think that's part of the magic of it. Space is unknown. It's endless potential. We realize not only how small we are in comparison, but how much capacity for interesting stuff there is because of it. We inhabit a small space and there are so many wonderous things in this area alone. If so many amazing things exist in our small space, imagine how many amazing things are still out there! There's planets, nebulas, stars, asteroids, the possibility of other life! The countless, endless possibilities are mindboggling! There's an endless ocean that could hold any amount of unforeseen treasures. This is the very spirit of adventure. It is not the lack of stuff that can create a fascination with space, but the potential for it. A child is fascinating for the same reason. A child has seemingly endless potential, they can be anything! This same wonder is why so many pieces about space are grandiose and emotional. They encapsulate our smallness in comparison the the depths of space (hence the gigantic orchestra part) as well as the curiosity for what could be out there (hence the emotional part). Now that being said, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with viewing space as empty, dead, or meaningless. That's the thing about potential, it's in the eye of the beholder. One person can view space as teaming with adventure while another void of anything the same way someone could view a child as being full of life and with the potential to become anything they want while someone else would see the child as being unprepared and naïve to everything life is about to throw at it. Neither view is wrong, they are simply two angles of looking at the same canvas. All that being said, I'm sure there are pieces out there that focus more on the 'dead' emptiness of space. And if not, then write one! Music has the endless potential to be anything in the hands of a composer, so if you wish something to come into being, then you have the power to do so!

This is the demo version of a graduation-style march I've been working on. It's designed with the same format style as Pomp and Circumstance, so there are a lot of repeated sections. PLEASE feel free to be give suggestions, criticism, and critiques about it. It's far from done and I would love to know how to make it better! Thanks!
