June 15, 201015 yr Island Dance is a "continuation" of Carry Me Away, if you will. This is what happens while on the "tropical paradise" Island Dance
June 15, 201015 yr Nice latin feel. I like chromatic bits in here. But I think it's too long, it doesn't really develop, it's pretty much the same chord prog over and over, and I lost interest after about 2 mins. You could definitely work on the production some more, but this has potential. I just think you need some stuff like a slow section, a few break-downs, some interesting side-themes etc. Make it a bit more "fun". Good job.
June 21, 201015 yr Really, really awesome stuff here! Very interesting melody(ies) going on, the repetition within the piece mentioned by Phantom may very well serve to be a benefit were this used in a videogame!
June 21, 201015 yr Definitely sounds like something that would fit perfectly in the right video game. I could see it in something like Sonic maybe, or some outside adventure game. I know I'm thinking of some specific game, but I can't put my finger on which one :P I agree with paquijote - the repetition works just fine for a video game setting, and probably is a plus, however at 245 you do lose my interest a bit. You have a cool idea, but I don't think you've executed it right. It doesn't groove with the rest of the piece. I think the problem is that on the one hand, it still has a similar sound to the rest of the song, but on the other hand it lacks the catchiness the rest of the piece has. I think I'd like to hear some of those drums you have at 350 maybe incorporated into this area. Overall, I think your goal for that weaker section should be to make it contrast a bit more, but at the same time fit in with the groove of the rest of the piece - I think those drums might be able to accomplish that. If not, I think something more on the lower end is what you need probably. Anyways, after that short section, I like where you go. I think practically speaking, if you were thinking of this as something that could actually be used in a video game like it sounds it could be, I would make it so that it can loop easily. Good stuff!
