Just a simple guy. I only contribute music to newgrounds since I have no visual artistic talents whatsoever. My influences come mostly from Vangelis, George Winston, and a heavy dose of electronica and trance.

Music Catch

"WOW!!!!"

submission: Music Catch
date: May 25, 2008

This is absolutely amazing stuff! It makes me want to sit down at the piano and just play all day long. The colors, the movement,,,everything was just so beautiful. It's a great example of how someone can participate in music even if they don't know how to play a single note.

crossroads in the sky

"Beautifully simple"

date: May 9, 2008

You made this seem effortless. I commend you on this flash. I think there's a lot of people on NG that feel flash movies are supposed to make them laugh, and if it doesn't then it's not worth watching. I disagree, and I appreciate you producing this. It's been great food for thought.

I was just excited my music got used in something, let alone a masterpiece like this. Great animation. This flash is near perfect!

"Amazing"

I've had it on loop in my car the entire way back from work tonight. Awesome production quality and worthy of the #1 spot for the MAC.

"Perfect"

This should win July MAC 08. You couldn't of captured the feeling of utter loss any better then right here. I don't care what other people are saying about people needing to stay away from the piano, this is THE song I would hear in my heart if I had to go through that kind of hardship. Beautiful.

"Thank you!"

Alright so I'm not going to dive into the mixing issues because you've already covered that yourself, and Immune touched on it as well. I'm not a trance artist, and I don't really think I ever could be because of the amount of focus there has to be to take the listener on a journey without his/her ears getting tired, or bored. The best kind of trance is the one that can keep me interested, even after 7 minutes....which you did perfectly. This is the kind of music that uplifts me and encourages me to keep going..whatever that may entail. You're well aware by now that I'm all about deep harmonic content...which is why I believe this to be one of your best works. Yeah yeah...mixing this....cracking that...blah blah......that can all be fixed. But if you don't have the talent to begin with then what's the point? You've got it bro...and I'm very happy to take this journey you've created for us.

"Alright so I'm not going to dive into the mixing issues..." That's fine, no need to get technical. It's good enough someone as respected as you are on the AP gives me reviews like this. XD

As for the focus thing, really all you have to do is follow the break-build-peak pattern and do your transitions in between them well, and the rest takes care of itself. ;)

Funny thing, this subgenre of Trance is called Uplifting Trance. XD

This is no doubt my best melody in my opinion as well. The mixing and VEC samples brought the song as a whole down... though the melodies save this track for me. As I can come back to it later and make an even better version of it sometime, perhaps a full-on remix, if I want to. :D

Thanks a lot for the praise and the high ratings (as apparently you voted 5? :P) Reasoner! Glad you liked it. :D
