Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Three "Can't Let It Go"

I'm sorry again that I have been terrible at reviewing so far--it's been unexpectedly really busy for me since Nur Ein started, but I had a big work thing wrap up last week, so I'm hoping I can do a little better with giving feedback now. I'm determined to actually finish this round of reviews and p...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Five "Novel"

Hey gizo! No, the intent with the phrasing was to exclude pre-existing audio libraries or sample-based virtual instruments/VSTs. Please take careful note of the "non-musical" recording part of this--the intent is not to have you chop out the hook from a Motown classic and build a song arou...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round Zero "Friday the 13th"

Reviewssssss Sorry I've been so slow getting these done, it's been busy! Adam Adamant - I like the general sound of the instrumentation here, particularly your guitar, and including that kind of messy falling-apart ending, and your vocal delivery kind of reminds me of David Bowie. Catchy chorus, but...

Re: Nur Ein XVII: Round One "Deified"

However, I will be looking for a complete phrase. I don’t think I’m going to care if it covers a whole bar or not, or if it lines up exactly to start on a particular beat, but regardless, Mike has expressed his preference and I guess you all probably will want to please as many judges as possible.

It’s Bandcamp Friday! I wrote ten new songs in February for FAWM (two were also Songfight songs!) and you can find them on this new album:

Re: Or you could lift me up (Strike Me Down reviews)

I'm doing February Album Writing Month this month, so have no time for this really, but I feel like I'm behind on review karma on Songfight as I think I never finished reviews for the last couple of fights I entered, so I wanted to write SOMETHING. I only have ultra-short first-impression reviews he...

Re: sonofgearfight #3 "Beneath a Cold Sky"

Reviews!!! Only three songs and one I already listened to a bunch so this makes my job easier than I was anticipating. Lichen Throat: Through-composed, check! There are various parts of this I like, but I think the overall flow and arrangement could use some work. I like that initial "guitar&qu...
