"Why?"

submission: New Ending

I am sorry for being a bastard. However, I decided to check out your composition as it was given the genre of "Indie" I was looking forward to the diversity and oddity I was expecting. Three seconds into listening, I found that this was not the case.

I do not see how this resembles the genre of "Indie" Sure, the piece starts out with a guitar (I could swear a guitar is more Western than any other instrument) playing a nice and simple intro of a bass note and another note 8 whole steps up. (Octave) My thoughts were "Fun. Maybe this is an 'Indie' piece performed by someone just trying to recreate some cool middle-eastern music. I was dissapointed to find that the scale was a major. (Not very Middle-Eastern or 'Indie' as you call it) Of course, when it comes to playing the guitar, scales can switch from minor to major in a heart beat.

Having found this composition is not really "Indie" (Unless "Indie" is a new phrase to describe emo music) I decided to hear what the song did have to offer. Rather than critique the actual composition (It's a decent song in whole) I will state that the artist performs this as a live recording. Such a recording does not seem very useful for such a place like the Audio Portal considering this place is meant to house music for people to use for their Flash projects. (As far as I know)

Please better from my critique. I do not mean to be a douche. And Thank you for not posting bad techno or some sort of videogame ripoff piece. Keep working, Lt. Black Shadow. Good luck with future compositions.

"Lack of creativity"

submission: Majoras Mask Intro Remix

It is an awesome piece. It was also nicely recomposed. Still, unless I'm mistaken horrendously, you offer almost nothing in terms of adding anything to the piece. If anything, it sounds less interesting than the original version from the game. The creativity is low, but I still enjoyed hearing this. Good job converting it. To me, it sounds so peaceful that it is scary.
