Turn (new) (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=15HLJV86LOU042BYMOPLJFCDAM)

This one is a compilation of little tracks used on a old-school RPG PC game that some guys were doing.

[Zakka]

Oh, the titles are mostly in portuguese =P

Any comments are welcome.

I'll critique the first one for now.

A vida continua.
I like the harmonies, but I have two complaints.
First is that the strings around 0:58 remain on the harmony too long. THe harmonic rhythm of the piece is faster and you could move the strings to help keep it from being too static.

Secondly, not as big. The middle syncopation section is out of character with the rest of the piece.

[Zakka]

Thanks for the criticism, I agree with your complaints.

Feel free to hear the other tracks =)

O Retorno Sem Fim,
I listened to that one recently. Very nice. The harmonies at the beginning were kind of jumping around to weird places, but that wasn't a major turn off.
But the next biggest thing that grabbed my attention was the finish. It had some wonderfully melodic lines leading right into the lovely cadence.

Now, listen to this. There's a piano snippet in the middle, but it's just a composition in general. If you don't like the piano playing... that's understandable as I'm not a piano player.

It's called Eerie Evening

[Zakka]

About Eerie Evening:

You created a really interesting atmosphere on this one, It's almost obvious to imagine this as a movie soundtrack song. There was no real problem with the piano playing, but I think you could do more variations on the notes' tempo and intervals. If the piano was on every second of the song, I could understand that it's part of the atmosphere, but if suddenly enters, so people will expect some variatons. I enjoyed the harmonies and the melody of the piano though.

I loved with you did on 2:34 or something like this. Kinda "wah-wah" thing, it refreshes the atmosphere you created. Oh, about the high pitchy noises (triangles? clicks?), I dont think they need to be on the entire song. They can grab some unexpected attention on some parts. But overall, I really enjoyed listening it.

I suggest you to listen Going Downtown.

[Popup-Box]

A Vida Continua: OK beginning. Prefer what happens around 1 minute into the song.

O Feliz Fim...: Your music sounds quite minor oriented. OK beginning. Interesting around 1 minute also here.

Going Downtown: Good intro. Most interesting track this far. Catchy groove around 1 minute. I enjoy the interplay between the piano and the bass. Great ending (the piano).

O Retorno: Dramatic intro. Playful. Interesting harmonization (5ths?) Inspirational listening. Makes me want to try my own cheap keyboard. Good song - up there with "Going Downtown".

Tic-Tac: Great beginning. Sounds very... wide. Like the echo effects. Sounds like you've got many ideas.

The last three songs will be on my TOP 3. Great music. Really good sound, and maybe even better compositions (if possible?)

[Zakka]

Thanks by the input man =)

"A Vida Continua" and "Going Downtown" were used on film soundtracks.

I'll post more stuff later.

Just a little bump for the gods of piano.

[pasulpepe]

Wow, these are fantastic pieces. I dont regularly listen to much softer music, i mostly listen to metal. But these pieces are fantastic. I especially like going downtown.

[Zakka]

Hey, thanks man!

I put two new songs (I have plenty of them here =P) and reuploaded the old ones for those who didnt hear.
