Awesome! (as always)
You are the man! Defenitely this is one of the best rock instrumentals ever heard. Yeah! Actually I like the piano most. I think it's esential for the musical piece (either it's some sort of electrical synth or just plain piano).
The only thing you should think about is if you can sing such energetic pieces and becoming total favorite. (just thought about it right now)
There is plain piano in there yes.... and thank you... I'm glad you think I'm "The Man"... on fridays I like to be "The Woman"... but it's a secret. so don't tell anyone.
Man it's getting late... I really shouldn't be writing replies with so little oxygen flowing to my brain.
Thanks for the review though. I'll work on my energetic singing... in the shower....
Hows that for a mental image?

It is like the stories in the books
Two titans have clashed with great yet unmatched strenght. Maestro, did I heard organ and it sounded to me like leading before entering of the flute. It wasn't fair I think. As for Mandy's stuff I liked it. It was more like... enchanting :P
Good work both of you. The greatest hits are born in musical battle and it's always good to hear.
5/5 and 10/10
you did in fact hear an organ :D! Good ear. The organ is actually part of the free soundfont, I honestly had no idea it was there and it sounded good enough to use, so I did.
So I can put you down for Mandi's victory here?
We hope you will enjoy our future battles :D! Thank you for the review, and the support, we're glad you liked it!
Oh boy, oh boy!!!
Is it supposed to be like the great DJ battles heard in the stories except for using classical semples? (I'm fan of them though) You two... you two always find a way to amaze me (and all yourlisteners). Ok, just don't stop doing this. It inspires many (didn't I say this somewhere else? doesn't matter)
5/5 and 10/10
haha, you've got the right idea kutalion! Though we're not great DJ's we definitely enjoy the occasional fight with each other. It keeps us sharp, keeps us creative and lets us just compose what we feel.
We are both very happy to hear you enjoy the works, and we hope whatever inspiration we can give you helps you in your efforts :)!
Well done!!!
The way I learn piano without any guidance is not that efficient. I see you tried to sense the piano for second or third time (I don't remember well). I think it's calming again... What happens, man? Have thrown away the epic pieces? I kinda miss them :)
5/5 but 9/10 (Still you're the best)
I can assure you that though my studies have helped me write a more realistic piano, it has far from taught me how to play it XD. If you are learning by self teaching yourself how to play the piano you are on the better road here. Keep fighting! It will be well worth your while at the end.
The epic pieces are on their way ;D! I have not forgotten them by a long shot, patience my good sir, patience.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Can I say something?
Hey, can I say something? Doesn't matter it was a rhetoric question. This piece an amazing calm. The fact itself that you're writing it for SOMEONE should be enough. I myself am trying to make something for any of my friends (not very successfully though) but you beat me in any single point.
Keep the good work, Maestro. I'm sure you'll inspire many and many people in future as in the past.
5/5 and 10/10 (my favorite musician)
you can say anything you'd like, even if it's rhetorical.
Writing for somebody can be hard but there are a few things you can do to make it easier.
1. Try to write it in the style of song that person likes. If they like pop, write something pop, instrumental is easiest and often just as appreciated.
2. Try to personify the person with your instruments. Mandi here said her favorite woodwind was flute, and truth be told when I think of her I see a flute or piccolo as well. Her personality reminds me of those instruments.
3. Keep it simple. Everybody loves a super master piece in their honor sure, but often times the simplest melodies are the ones which give the strongest message.
4. If all else fails, just have fun and do what you'd normally do. The person will appreciate the attempt and truth be told a lot of my songs I made for friends in my earlier days are rather bad, but if nothing else, it was fun to make and fun to give. One time I even made a completely ridiculous song that was just stupid in every way I could think of, which became an inside joke for a long while, giving us laughs for months.
Hope that helps, and thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
Nice!
First of all I like it though there are some parts that are not quite good. At first listening anyone can notice the brass (or whatever it was). It just sounds kinda generic. Try another instrument or make this instrument complete synth (think it would sound better). The second and most importatnt part is the fast ending in the piano... I mean c'mon can't you add something else to extend it a little? Some more instruments (more strings, woodwinds, drums)? I give it 4/5 because there's future in this melody and hope that you can make it better.
Sorry dude, but it's Work in Progress... that explains the heavy speed ending.
But thanks for the review, I'll work on the brass.
EDIT: Replaced the brass with flutes
Nice
The first few seconds I was prepeared for 4 min melancholic piece but it hit me. Though at two places in the song I've expecting to hear the speed up rythm of Requiem of The Dream because the violins actually play the Requiem's melody. Still this is nice peace.
I give it high score because I like it but it's not it's actual score and you should know it... I suppose. Keep it up, mate!
Thanks.
The strings do play a melody very similar to Requiem for a Dream's "Lux Aeterna," but the two melodies are not identical.
Not quite sure what you meant in your last sentence, but thanks for the 10!

Super, Mega, Cool
Ambient sound to the maximum! Hail!
Totally odd. Good work, Lady Arsenic.
10/10
5/5
Thank you, thank you! I was trying to make something creepily ambient, so I must've done exactly what I was told! Thanks for listening!
With love,
LadyArsenic <3
Absolute beauty
Lady Arsenic has such beautiful voice. The "melody" is actually very nice created ambience. I like Renaissense music it's so calming. Using ambient background is really good. And you say you didn't took part in creating this stuff or what? Anyway the song is really nice. I like it.
PS: I'm even hooked to time lyrics for uploding it at the server of MiniLyrics (if you don't mind of course). I really like the song I tell you.
-^ ^- Awww, thank you. I'm glad to know I still have it, even though I don't have any more singing classes. I too am a huge fan of Renaissance pieces. They always have such original ideas in their melodies. Simplicity is the key, really. True, Ragey did put the thunderstorm in there, but because I asked him to. My sister, the one I made this for, loves thunderstorms. I had it in mind when I requested it. ^_^ Thank you for listening though!
With love,
LadyArsenic <3
Nice Theme
If you vary the theme a bit, add some conflicts and louder drums it could be an epic piece. Making some other stuff like a piano madley only or other songs upon this one (even elctro and rock styles but with instruments softer that the Orchestra). You could come up with hole RPG soundtrack.
I've thought about maybe doing some spinoffs of the song. I don't think I would have the time tod o that though. Josh and I have other projects that we have to do for other people now, so most of our creative energy is probably going to go towards those now. Maybe someday in the future though! Thx!
