Definatly better than most peoples first attempts. It had a nice sort of trance bass to it. It needs a tiny bit more eqing to the lower frequencies, and the synth gets annoying, but again it's definatly a good start.
What you should look into next is producing your first full (i.e. not loop) track. Plan it out, have 3 sections (start, middle, end) where the start and end are the same but middle is different.
Also look into downloading some more drum samples for FL (if that is indeed what you're using - I recognise a few of those sounds). It will make your tracks sound more proffesional.

Thanks! I have a friend who sounds a lot more professional than I am, so I'm going to ask him to send some drum samples for me. Thanks again!

Before you get pwned, you have full permission to use that track :-P

For a mathematically based song, that sounded very tuneful. What was the compositional system you used?
Author's Response:
On every beat, one of the instruments plays a central D that lasts for a beat-and-a-half. Thus, every other eighth, two D's are heard. It's not numerical math, I'd say it can be viewed as a very simple recursive formula. It severely limited the compositional freedom, though :)
Every first beat is the cello, second is the viola, third and fourth are the violins.
Thanks for the review!

It got zero'd pretty quick, and I can't say i'm suprised, mostly because to somebody who isn't expecting it could put them off quite a bit.
Even though the melody seemed random at first, when the (UNRANDOM) drums kicked in, it was suprisingly musical.
After all, what is music if not a series of mathematical patterns?
Oh and by the way, you need to do a bit of mastering on that bass drum, its causing clipping.

Sorry I didn't get around to this sooner.
I'm really glad to see LJs mathmatical writing ideas taking off throughout the community and you've really put together something good out of it. I can't say that I fully understood your instructions, but is it to do with the instruments 'adding up' to form a prime number?
The cello sounds distinctively experamentalist, with nice melodies cutting in from other instruments that I found amazingly predictable - you can tell theres a pattern here even if you don't hear it straight away.
Well composed, I hope to hear a bit more like this from you ;-)
Author's Response:
To answer your question, if you read the instructions, you'll understand that each instrument represents a prime number, each prime number symbolizing something.
Glad you liked it, though ^_^!

To be complete honest I came here a bit closed minded, gathering it was going to be like the rest of the 'hip hop' crap on the portal.
Ok, so I'm not the biggest fan of hiphop, but this had some amazing qualities that really do shine through, such as the mainly orchesteral layout, and the use of the cello as a strong bass.
Good job.
Author's Response:
Oh, wow, that really means a lot to me, seeing how its my personal quest to change the face of hiphop. I have been musically trained since 6 years old, so I try to incorporate all of my gifts. Thanks for listening!

Just a few tiny issues. Most of the composition was great but there were a few places where the piano was playing chords in semiquavers, which is very, very hard to do and as a result sounded a bit robotic in the track.
I love the way its in movements. Although I'm only up to the second as I read this (make that third), I assume there are seven making the name valid.
Also it isnt a concerto, because a concerto means one solo instrument with backing from other instruments :-P
(don't worry about that though, most people on NG don't know that).
Oh and one final issue, at the end you have it fading out. Although I know you wanted that diminuendo there, and it does fit, you made it go a little too quiet. Once again playing like that would be pretty hard so it makes it seem slightly unrealistic there.
Nice arrangement though, very nice indeed. Well done.
Author's Response:
Well,you have very good ears,lol!I always had difficulties making differences between concertos,oratorios and all that(pretty bad for a musician who learns music for 14 years,lol!).True,this is unrealistic but hey,"and God created Earth" is unrealistic as well,isn't it?However,thanks for taking time to make a constructive review for my song!

Yeah, this HAS got voted down pretty badly, even my 5 only got it up to a 2.5...
Could do with a little verb on that rhodes, and the playing was a little regular, a touch of shuffle wouldnt have gone a miss. Also there were a few tiny mischords.
Not sure about the impro at the end though, at some parts it just sounded like you were whacking the keys with your hands.
Anyway, keep it up, rhodes is an awesome instrument once you get it right.

Thanks for the 5 Khuskan!
I'm not nearly done with this, so your input will be put to good use.
