Reply To: PROOF of Everything I Have Posted Here

Infinitoar — Hey, I forgot to mention — I also had a chance to listen to your “Severed” recently, too. Even though the comments thread is elsewhere, I just wanted to add real quick here that I was rather impressed. I had to chuckle at the one comment I read afterward that stated it was “too loud, too much,” ’cause that was exactly one of the main things I liked about it. Instead of screwing around with a gradual build of the symphonic sound, you came in quick, no fooling around, with what was basically a chordal symphonic onslaught. Nice arrangement, too, because you broke from that into the mellower, moody sections at regular intervals. That added the necessary balance, so you can have the “too much” parts and get full impact from them. I think me favorite feature, tho, was the fadeout ending. Now, most will just do a standard fade in that situation, but instead you dropped in the tinkling chimes or bells at intervals, sort of like saying, ‘okay, here’s the fade, I’m ending it, but I’ve got a couple more points to make.

Note that, like kim said on the other thread, I’m one of those Guitar Dudes myself, and all of my tunes are totally guitar and/or vocals heavy and oriented, but your tune is more the thing I will listen to in order to clear all the guitar noise out of my head once in a while.
