The violin maybe a bit too harsh-sounding but stil lovely. Overall the composition is very engaging, keeping you up in the sky with the lighthearted mood of the piano.
Love the sense of movement throughout the track and how the harmony builds the feeling of flight, really nice composition and arrangement!
Nothing to add that the others haven't said already. Great sense of movement and harmony throughout the track.
I like the choice of instrumentation here and the chord progressions!
The violin sounds out of tune to me. It also sounds like you have too much rosin on your bow/built up in the strings. At least it has the same sound my violin gets with too much rosin lol.
I love the harmony and how you arranged the flying rythmic motif fits the theme perfectly! also the piano sounds very nice! The only thing that I would work on is the violin tuning, it feels very much played live and I believe that gives a great feeling which to me is great! So only thing I would work on is maybe another take of the violin, other than that this is a very solid composition and arrangement, great work! :D
Oh it is Very Played Live! I mentioned to the jam creator, it was what I could get in the constraints (I lost two days due to being out of town), but I'm gonna see if I can adjust the tuning before a wider release.
Nice piece! The theory behind this is solid and I like your use of the chord progressions, they are just interesting enough for the listener, but change up when needed.
A few things to consider for next time:
- At the beginning, there is a very staccato note, it sounds a bit out of place. I would consider either taking it out, or holding it down, but not like this.
- A bit of reverb on the violin might help the space feel a bit bigger and sit better with the mix.
- at 0:57 onwards during the piano solo, you could try holding some notes down for a beat or two longer to generate interest instead of always moving on to the next note. Arpeggios in a straight rhythm can a sound bit static sometimes.
-Same thing with chord tones - you don't always have to play the notes in the chords in arpeggios, notes in the scale or outside notes/chromaticism can be nice to break things up.
-Violin intonation sounds off to my ears, may need to adjust tuning in postprocessing, or a lot of practice, but I'm not a violin teacher...
- Since you are using violin, more vibrato on the longer notes would help bring this out.
-1:47 finish strong, last note should be the loud one (Marcato)! Not the note at the beginning of the piece. Perhaps build it up with a crescendo.
Hope this helps.
It does! The intonation was as good as I could get it considering the jam timeframe, and I haven't quite figured out how to adjust the tuning in Logic for iPad yet. I had to slow down the tempo when recording, so vibrato would have thrown the sound waaaaaay off and I aimed to have the least amount possible. Your mixing comments are always so thoughtful and I'm super grateful for them. Thank you.
this is amazing the composition is so good! i really loved the lil piano solo mid song and the violin recording was amazing, i love it so much!
damn its very good gg!
