Nuse's songs

Where’d you see this?

Notice how the subject of the last couple of comments was “Clothing”?
(T’was a bot)

Anyway…Muse…you NEED to compose another song :confused:
…or i’ll die

sigh

Ok I promise I’ll make a song within the next few weeks.

YAY!!
*Almost dies from over-excitement then runs into a wall 50 times and jumps of a cliff 30 times and sets himself on fire and runs around like a headless chicken while barking like a dog which is psyching out at a cactus in the middle of the desert while climbing an invisible tree which is surrounded by rainbows and unicorns and extremely bright and wonderful colours (which was probably the after effect of running into the wall 50 times) and a giant pink and purple ogre that looks like a savage ant trying to kill a camel while eating a shard of glass with uranium on itwhich then suddenly dissapears because the invisible tree disappears and turns into 10 massive rabbits having a rave party while eating their own feet and continuously face-planting the wall thus making a seizure inducing environment for themselves… *
So…I can’t wait :mrgreen:

Voila.

Nonhuman

Took less than a day to make.

Not as quick as Overcome XD
I can tell your style has changed…alot.

I thought it was quite relaxing and easy listening (except the drum beat didn’t quite have the same effect…)
Definitely one of your better songs, not the best however cause absolutely NOTHING could be better than Golden Sands…

-The drums seemed a bit repetitive… (i can actually critique a part of your songs now XD)
-Well…i honestly couldn’t find much else wrong with it…
(star, thats your queue )

Much obliged tips hat

Alright from the top, the intro. I personally think there are two marks that show a good intro, it either needs to be a great hook or can be used in the outro, without being used in the song itself. While I put more stock into the first one, I acknowledge that a great hook is rarely put into slow songs, such as this one. I think it’s a great intro though, even though on my first listen I didn’t think it was until it came back again. I like the silent letters, as they take quite a while to make and don’t really add to the song.

Once the intro was over, the greatest part of the song really came out. The song in general just has a good sound, which in an ambient piece is everything (not that this is ambient, but it is slow). I also liked the Nice’s, great as a background instrument. Also liked the Saturn instrument as a background as well. Which leads me to the only real problem I had with the song, there didn’t seem to be any foreground instruments at all for any real period of time, everything was there to support the overall sound instead of an actual melody. This is fine in an ambient piece, but the drumming was all wrong for ambiance. I mean, Snare #4 was a slightly weird choice to me when it first started, when it stayed I didn’t know what to think about it. I would have thought that after the high-hats came in, the snare’s would fill a more traditional role. As for QVX’s comment on the drums, he’s right, but the entire song was repetitive, which is also good for ambiance (when you put on a song while working or relaxing, it really doesn’t matter as much how repetitive it is, so long as what is being repeated is good, which is what this song does right, except for the drumming). So yeah, I think the only major problem is the drumming.

Now, when the electric guitar begins playing the riff on sheet 12, I really was dismayed. It sorta ruined the feel of the song and could easily been better with another instrument (such as the piano which eventually does replace it). It did sound nice with the electric piano over it, but I just didn’t think it fit in too well. However, once the piano and female vox came, I think they did save the song. Then there’s the fade away to when the piano comes in, very nicely done, and I loved the piano in this song. As I said, the riff fits much better on a piano. Also, I loved what I assume is the solo at sheet 31. I’m a real sucker for tempo changes, they really add character to a song to me when executed properly. I also noticed how the piano replaced the sitar (even though that instrument did fit well) and the vox is playing the same thing as well from earlier, and I though it all sounded magnificent. The subtle speed-up was done right, and the return to the chorus (which is sheet 11, right?) and while I may believe the synth vox might have sounded better a octave lower, it still was a great transition for the outro, which, as i mentioned already, was amazing just because it was the intro as well.

Overall rating: 4/5.
Last thoughts: Though it isn’t as fun to listen to as your collab with QVX, and even though the drums are such a glaring issue, I would still say this is one of your top 5. Also, for some odd reason, it reminded me of “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, what i consider to be the greatest ambient piece I’ve ever heard.

Wow thanks, I really appreciate your review. I know I’m not good at drums, I really have to improve. Also I’m confused, you like the silent letters or don’t?

Thanks QVX!

=D

Umm…which one?
I was referring to Overcome which was made in a like 3-4 hours XD

Oh and Muse, PM me if you want some drumming help :3
Like when i’ve asked you for melodic help in a couple of my songs =)

I’ll try to. .␣.

You could start practising now by making another song?
=P

I’ll try to.

Yay
Previous scenario happens but 3 times in a row.

Neoteric Flow
Neoteric = New (Basically), which is why it was released 1/1/2011
=P

It took me seven minutes to load this thread. Hm…
Anyways, I like the OP. It’s really colorful and it makes me want to cry rainbows. :slight_smile:

Sadly, I can only cry red tears.

I’m sorry, Fire. But I’m glad you like it.

So I have a new song. I made it continuously in one session, which I’m pretty happy about.

Feel free to comment.

Got really, really bored after around 10 sheets. I can’t really critique when I get bored that early.
I’m not really into this kind of music anyway.
Sorry.

I have to agree with THEFinalBoss on this one. The song started out and I was like “THIS is the Muse I remember,” after which I was expecting decent drumming and stellar string work or something of that sort, but the song kinda just dragged on and didn’t really seem to change all that much. By the end, I was thinking that it was too much “Muse,” meaning you showcase all the talent of your older songs but then decided to put in what devalued all of them too, a huge lack of anything to keep the listener interested for more than a minute. In hindsight, I think the entire piano section could have been replaced by a string instrument and with a couple additions you could have really done well here, but oh well.

I mean, it’s not a bad song, far from it, but it’s just so repetitive. I mean, I LOVE the piano, it allows for such amazing tricks and sounds that you wouldn’t dare try with another instrument, and it sounds great no matter where you put it, low on the bass clef or high on the treble. It takes little effort to write a sad song to melt your heart or a happy song to pick you up, I mean just look at my Piano solos compared to almost all my other solos! But this song is just so let down by the repetition that even if it had lyrics that would be all a listener cares about, which would be sad, considering the incredible display of technical theory and creative use of left and right hand playing, it convinced me that this is a real piano song, not just made on the piano like Glory’s Road.

Another let down was the lack of overlapping notes, which does lessen the idea that this is solely a piano song and ins’t meant for anything else. I mean most instruments require a lot of skill or even a second player to produce what a piano can do with just a pedal. What’s worse is that there are plenty of places to do it, especially in sheet 18 and other sheets like it. And I don’t mean there wasn’t overlapping, but all of the overlapping came from the illusion that the left hand is playing notes under the right hand, not from a pedal being pressed.

In short, this piano song has potential, and a huge lot of it too. In fact, it could be utterly beautiful, but it was let down by, to be frank, lazy writing.

I hope I haven’t been too insulting in this, but I realize that I probably have, so to make myself utterly clear, I actually LOVED this song when it started. It was only the sheer repetitiveness that killed it for me, not a lack of skill on your part nor a gross error. In fact the song is well balanced. The problem is that it is just overloaded with potential, making it feel rather unfinished. So I leave it a rating of 3.6/5.
