I like the use of my music. The concept is very original. And I like how you don't erase the skater as he moves along. It's like he's leaving a trail of himself behind... All I ask is smoother animation and a longer version and it'll be awesome.
Author's Response:
Maybe me and my friend will make another one soon, longer and better. But it's hard to make it smooth cuz we don't really have the good material to make stopmotions.
We only use paper, a pen and a camera. :3

What I liked: I really liked the track quite a bit actually. And I liked what you said in your description. What I got from the song was emptiness and uncertainty and when a song gives you emotions, it's definitely a good one. I'm pretty sure other reviewers would tell you to turn up the guitar, but I actually like it the way it is. It adds to the meaning of your song.
How to improve: I would suggest doing some remastering to the track because I can hear the white noise. You were not playing in time. Try playing this song with a metronome and try and make it more metronome friendly. Also, try adding percussion and chords, but if you think that'll conflict with your song's meaning, you don't have to. One more tip: the riff you did at :06 seemed out of place. Try making it more of a composition than a song, if you know what I mean. I mean, spend more time with it. Compose it. Make your music with love and care!
Peace, adompeace

Edit: I did some remastering, I got it to add a little backround effect instead of just white noise. The other parts, I did a lot of work on the second version, but it seems people are more fond of this one, from votes. So i'm not sure what to do with this from now.
1. Ya, the program actually has a metronome to put on while the song is on. The only problem is I have no idea how to get the tempo I need for the feel of this song.
I'll use it anyway though.
2. I added a note in the backround just to mix, I only had the note play when the main part had notes high enough so it wouldn't seem out of place. I would like to add chords, but unfourtunatly, I took a scale that is rarely used, so the only way I can think of adding chords is just to make them out of notes in the scale.
3. This song was something I used to remember a scale, so didn't really have a plan of how to put everything together correctly. So I am probably going to redo the song, but it's going to sound a bit different. Personally, as long as it has the same feel to it, it's cool with me, the scale can do that itself.
And thanks for the review, it's good to get some critisizm, and not just people voting it down or up for no reason.

You are just rippin' up that guitar with that bitch piece. The problem is the recording quality. I know you don't have a good mic, as you say in one of your responses, so I can't blame you. Try this: record away from the amp and eliminate as much noise as possible before recording to aid in getting rid of white noise.
The guy below me is definitely all talk. He's got no shit on NG and if he's that arrogant about his playing abilities, which he claims he has, he'll never be a true musician. But I agree with what he said about practicing it 20 times before recording... before you record, your skill level somehow dramatically drops. Don't ask me how. It just happens.
Also, the ending just sounds cut off. Let the notes sustain on the guitar for a more epic feeling and when they're faded enough, you may stop.

Hey it's me. The keyboard shredding guy. You've got some really cool and original riffs here. The solo was very cool, my friend. The wah was pretty trippy. All I can say is up the tempo of the song by 10 or something. Normally I would say the drum beat was kinda too reminiscent of rap for me but the beat somehow worked well with your riffs. Very well done, man. :)
Maybe we could collaborate on a song of some sort sometime
