[housecatt - ClubScene]

Hi, Housecatt. Saw you had another new song, and thought I'd check it out. I like the ominous beginning, and the instruments you used after that were really engaging. Maybe a little repetitive, but I like the end- it's pretty sudden and ominous, like the beginning. I felt like you could've done more with the piece, however, maybe added a little more form to it. Still, while the instruments were bizarre, they were pretty groovy. Fitting title, and much less dissonant and unmelodious than your last piece (but just as unique)! Keep it up! :)

housecatt responds:

thanks man this really helped me out alot and understand what It was you were trying to explain to meh I appreciate the feedback bro :)

[Requiem]

Yay! Love the dreamy melody at the beginning, although it did get a little repetitive. Still, I like how you shook it up later in the song, especially when the bass came in at 1:23. I admire the style and form of this piece, especially the transition around 3:40. The drums were a little boring, however, and I feel like they could've added a lot to the emotional contrast of the song- between the rhythmic and lively parts of the song and the melodic parts of the song. I also feel like you could've added more emotion to the piece with a more pronounced chord, or just a different instrument for the chord altogether. The instrument you have for the chord now sounded like an electric guitar to me, which I found interesting, yet perhaps irrelevant to the theme of the song. Still, I liked the ending and title, and, other than the chord, you establish the mood well. Good work. It really grabbed and kept my attention. :)

thanks :)

[housecatt - Est. 1993]

hmm...it's very...unique! I like the bass that comes in at :16, but most of the song felt dissonant and didn't have any musical value for me. Sorry. Maybe you could use those effects as transitions, instead of the structure for a whole song. I think the bass at :16 is a better instrument to structure the song around. Also, interesting use of the kick at the beginning. I think it has potential, it just seems...incomplete. Keep working on it; you could make this work! :)

housecatt responds:

thanks for the Information mate, of course these are just demo's my friend and yes they are Incomplete and I am working on a album :) thanks again thedoor6.

[Dissonance]

Love the effects and style. Like the title, too, even if it's not really part of the song. Interesting instruments, but for me it didn't seem to go too far in the emotional department. I wish you expanded on the deep and whole sound of the first 20 seconds or so. The whole piece sounds like an echo of my day as I drift off to sleep...not a bad thing for an ambience song, but I'm not sure it keeps my attention as well as it should. Btw, love the effect at :31 and the dreamy piano you have in there later in the song. I think you should keep working on it, but great start.

[One O Clock Web Outage]

Really interesting, to say the least. Love the instruments and the harmonies. :29-1:17 almost reminds me of The Script's style (and that's a good thing). Melody was perhaps a little dry, however. I also feel like you wanted this piece to be either smooth and calming, or more energetic, but I can't tell which. Maybe you could try taking a distinctive side with the "bow style," even if those definately aren't real strings. I think it would help this piece reach its full emotional potential. Also, a little repetitive. Still, I like how this piece easily gets stuck in my head, and creates an image of a royal garden. Also love the piano/synth that comes in every 8 beats later in the song. Overall, well done. This is a memorable and creatively written piece. Not perfect, but definately worthy of respect. Therefore, I shall give you, sir, a well-earned 5/5.

Thanks, wasn't expecting little to any feedback on this track. I basically created it today within 2 hours worth of time. When I had no Internet access, aka the name of the track. It soon became catchy, and I soon added to it until it continued to be stuck in my head. With the loop in focus, I did it so it would sound great in the end. The instruments are an electro drum track, I did actually use real strings/instruments in the sense that they came from a sound library known as "miroslav philharmonik". The piano/synth sounding item, is actually in fact a harp. Also included in the track is viola, and violin strings. As well as a two flutes, and a small choir of male/female. I really didn't go into any theme in particular with the song, other than that it became catchy fairly quickly when I started with the base beat. Then I added harmonies, and I can kind of see your thinking of the song I didn't think it could fit anything other than being catchy. Thanks for the review!

[Heart Broken II]

Yay! Love the emotion in this piece, and well-structured too. 1:08 was a valuable transition. Liked the beginning, too...pretty different. I must say, however, not the most original work I've seen on NG. I'm sorry to say that the bassline is a little too familiar for me, you know? Other than that, excellent work. Classic example of upbeat techno. I see you've already drawn in a few fans, well-deserved. ;)

DJ-Frosted responds:

Hey thanks man! Yeah i do over use that bass a little bit... but i made it and didn't copy anyone else :)

i'll make a new bass eventually.. >_< (sound production is very time consuming)

[undead radiation (v1.4)]

Hello, again, Gunmaster. It's still, well, pretty good! Rhythm stood out to me this time, whereas last time I was wondering where the melody was XD Also, the ending stood out to me too. I like the sudden ending as opposed to the "classic fade-out," but that's just me. Btw, I realized that 2:13 wasn't just my computer glitching, it was part of the song...and I like that! It's interesting and unique. Besides what I simply didn't pay attention to, it almost felt to me like the same song as version 1.2. When I mentioned the simplicity of the song last time, I was suggesting that you add depth the song. I didn't really see more depth here. Maybe you could add a sub-bass line or something? Anyway, keep working on it. Still think you've got potential. :)

[TM3 - WIP]

Awesome song! Love the climax and mix of different genres. Loved it when the bass came in at 1:01. Loops pretty well, too. There's a lot of passion in this song, but I still want more! I think you could make the climax even more dramatic. That contrast between the beginning and 1:01 is what makes this song what it is, but it could still be more extreme. You say it's a work in progress, and this is a great start, uplifting after a long week. I look forward to hearing more of you soon.
