Hi to all

First of all thank you very very much for listening and critisising...This means a lot to me...

I must apologise for not answering (thanks aztech for your mail) but after some days i said "Nobody read my post  so i never returned to the forums..)

I also know that what i made with these 2 songs was a Pink Porcupine Floyd Tree mix   lol     So i took your critisism pretty warm!! I didnt want someone to tell me "ah very nice...good good.."   And i believe getting a critisism like "You ve got potential but your music is not good is the best thing for me so i can get as better as i can!!

Anyway...so  how old is everyone here? Im 19 and im a guy 

 

Ps:Tauhd thank you for your syggestions

I figured since we all took the time to answer I wrote him an email asking him to come and see our opinions .

Maybe he'll come back ? but the guy registered on feb 16 and has not been back since feb 18 .

So we'll wait and see .

Um...has anyone noticed that "sw" has apparently not returned to read any of our comments?  I wonder if s/he is still visiting the site (?).

Peace.

LOL

 

I was curious, I couldn't think of why you'd be embarrassed by Tauhd's remarks. Glad it's your lack of reading skills and not Tauhd's English.

My belly hurts.

I wonder if he read this ? I doubt it . Maybe someone should email it to him.

My brick in your wall…

I have downloaded only two tracks (4.SW "J" n Edge classic 5:06 and 9.Empty heads 3:50).

The other tracks are not available.

First I agree with what was said here :

  • a bit immature but a lot potential
  • obviousness of influences : the first track is Porcupine Tree (more than Pink Floyd). I think Hammar knows Alan Parson’s Project when he said " I feel I have heard it before ".

I don’t want to dissect your music like the others but I’d like to give you some suggestions :

Let the time mature your music and suppress the evidence of influences. All composers (as I) have known this phase.

Don’t play what you like to hear in other musicians but find inside of you your own music, your sense.

Try to forget all what you think or what you feel, and don’t say "I’ll try this or this" but let the stream comes from the bottom of you.

Music is irrational, musicians should be mediums not technicians, so forget the devices, enjoy…

Try an association with another musician (rhythmic one) to give more muscles and bones to your music but find the (your) answer yourself.

Have a rich and good life and wonderful relationships to nourish your music.

And don’t listen what we try to say.

Except that I liked your first song and the first part of the second even the late is a little "rough".

Don't give up !

I like the dreamscape intro of the first track, though I feel I have heard it before. It's not that I think it's plagiarism, but the production and riffs (specially bass and keyboard) are simple. I miss distinctiveness. The idea is ok, but I think you can do a lot with melodies and arrangements. In addition, the guitar is sometimes not tuned in, which is annoying.

The second track sounds unfinished, made by coincidences. Maybe that's your intension?

Despite the criticism, I think you are on the right way. It seems to me that you are motivated and that's important!!
