Marnie Grant - An Alleyway In London - MarnieG

I really like the combo of pizzicato then bells with piano. You did a really good job of conveying the emotion. I can just visualize like a midday setting in any urban city.

Fantastic job I really liked it.

I love what youve done with this track. Very emotionally moving. So much so that I felt compelled to mix it into about a 5 min instrumental (with added drums)

I plan to post it on on here. Link will be posted.

I also plan on writing to it. Contact me if you'd like to work together, because I'd enjoy that.

Hi again.

"artifacts we opted to leave in"

Fair enough but I hear them as errors and as if you've joined two bits of audio together, which often produces an undesirable pop. I edit a lot of guitar and bass parts together, which generates loads of these annoying pops though crossfading the two parts together to remove them is pretty damn simple in the main DAW I use (Cubase). I do a lot of that in almost every track I make.

Maybe you were thinking of adding something like some old record crackle. That might work but these audio artifacts, for me, don't.

"Unless you're hearing something I'm not"

I can only hear what I can hear and have no idea if that's much different to what you can hear.

Still a fine piece of music.

Hi.

This is simple and very pleasant stuff. Lots of great space in this and I like all the melodies. Great string sound, piano - everything just sits so comfortably in the mix.

But you can instantly improve this, in my opinion, by removing all the audio pops. I'm not sure why they're even in there. Here are some time references for when they occur:

0:02, 0:05, 0:07, 0:16, 0:19 and so on.

0:27 little (reverse?) fill is very tasteful and a useful little addition.

Good piano sound. There are lots I'm not keen on.

I mostly make very lengthy music but would have to say this is pretty damn good at this length. Longer could be better but this is perfectly for this length.

A favourite for me.

I'm going to take a guess. As you were walking in the city you came upon this cerulean blue police box.......

Beautiful work. I enjoy your orchestral pieces very much. What software do you use for those strings? I love them.

Brado

Its a good idea to make a composition about special experiences.Very nice work.

Very interesting take on the big city, though I've never been to London. I do know the feeling you are trying to convey though. Enjoying the feel and the soundscape! Nicely done!
