Excuse the excruciatingly over-bearing title - I make no excuse for it.

That is a demo of a song, very rough.

The song is called " Desensitised " - Its about how we as humans have become so used to violence, pornography, gossip, etc etc ... its a lament, a kind of pleading piece juxtaposed against raging, angry dissonance.

I need some input/ideas/critique about it because:

1) The piano parts sound very familiar
2) The (midi) instrumentation could be improved
3) I feel a need for improvement esp in the songwriting aspect

This is one of the rare times I'm going with a VERY normal kind of playing... nothing funny, little whammy bar action, so the piece should be a little more approachable I suppose.

Also, I took a lot of care to click in the midi stuff... the velocity and so on of the midi was quite carefully done, so dynamics should be there, however - any tips/pointers/ideas are most welcomed.


Come come, take this time to slam the composition, in a gentle way, and give feedback. I would like to make it complusory to leave comments on improvements but I can't so be considerate hor...
 
Wow, i really liked that. Personally i find it sounds quite angra//kiko louriero ish, like something they would do haha.
Good work! :D
 
mmm... very original!!! haha.. i like ur phrasing... very cool... good stuff.. to hear somemore of this.. jus a suggestion.. u noe ur old stuff?? maybe u could have ur tht playing into this as well but dun put it in too much... for example like have the melodic side of the song.. which u have achieved... den theres some part of the song u could like add tht odd sounding thing tht u usually do.. jus a few suggestion.. haha.. yupz yupz.. but after listening i like this composition...

Thank you, I thought what I did for desensitised was a blatant RIP OFF of Muse. 8O

Hehehe... I am in the process of consolidating my old material.

I have a good load of oldies, maybe 40 tracks... I should go thru it and redo some of those I think have some spark of imagination in it...

Melody and weird-ness... hard to balance!
 
Thanks for the comment Sofyan. I would like to rework that 1st part though, its quite repetitive. Any ideas?


How do you double post? I have no idea how to do it.. seems like some phenom!
 
excellent tone (something that i don't have)
great creativity (something that i...errr...also don't have)
overall >>> :prayer: (my personal fav part @ 1:35 - 1:41)

Psssttt...if you come out with solo album,i sure buy one...seriously dude :supz:
