Good and Bad

I completely agree with TorkKey

it did have a decent melody with some good bass, but again you are letting over-repetitiveness along with really really annoying beats overpower the good parts of ur songs.

You are letting your motto of being repetitive as not being a bad thing.....be to repetitive.

Mix it up man.

It also sounds like you arn't putting a lot of effort into your songs, i might be wrong but thats simply what it sounds like. I know because i have songs that dont have a lot of effort put into them and it shows.

keep it up man, but mix it up.

Eh

Starts off alright, but the repetitive beats mixed in with more non-interesting beats dull it down, and then the repetitiveness just completely kills it off.

Im not gunna tell you how to make songs, cause having ur own style is the best thing to have, but you gotta mix it up a bit.

When you say repetitive isnt a bad thing, you are right to an extent, you can have repetitivity as long as what you are repeating is a interesting rift, or beat, or watever. If you simply repeat a boring set of beats, then the song becomes tiresome and dull.

THats just my two cents.

Alright

Thats it, im going to play gameboy, or NES, or sega, or some really old system while looping ur midi songs. Hell yes, best MIDI songs ever. I hardly think anyone else has the know how, or elbow grease.

It just doesnt get much better then Gillenium.

Thanks for bringin me back a few decades man haha, GAD, if my piano wasnt such a douche id make some midi songs. to bad my pianos a douche.

Gillenium responds:

Anvil Studio was an intensely frustrating program, but I popped some pretty good stuff out of it. In fact, my whole music career started when my friend Paul (I was in band class with him) said "Hey, you should try Anvil Studio!" So I did, got frustrated, gave up, and then tried it again later. I've done the same thing with every single sequencing program since. Thanks for the review!

So wicked sweet

Man, this is about as old school as it gets. This should be a freaking Gameboy game song dude, you coulda made some mad money with it! I can see this in zelda, or maybe some other game, you know the one.

Rediculously awesome to listen to, the ending-ish part kinda sounds a little like a Terminator sounding rift, zomg im loving it. Brings me back man, brings me back.

you get a 5 for awesomeness.

Gillenium responds:

Haha, I love those old-skool MIDI sounds. For some reason, Anvil Studio would sound like something inside the program and sound like something else entirely when I rendered it, so I had to find a program to record it as I played it in Anvil, lol. That's why there's a short pause before each song. Thanks for the review!

Dance Dance Gillevolution

YAY! I do believe this song should be a soothing dance added to everyone's collection of dance songs. If not I think they should be punched in the throat, or suggested to listening to better music.....something.

either way, this is as ambient as I like, with some great drums to keep you bouncing around. Although this is just a sample, its great (and ive heard the whole thing, :D im so lucky)

Keep it coming, and ill keep it reviewing. Cause i donno if you know this, but im ur biggest reviewer.....yeah you know this.

Gillenium responds:

Oh yeah... I know this, haha. You might not be able to call me Dance Dance Gillevolution for a while though... I'm all danced out. Working on a dance song is 100 times as taxing as working on an ambient tune. Just pounding and pounding beats all day long, the same beat, all the time! AGH! I'm working on ambient next, lol. Thanks for another review.

:D

Haha, oh hell nobody reviewd it so i figured what the shit man. haha

Gillenium responds:

Very insightful review...

Easily the best

out of all 4 parts, I think this is the best, but i can't decide. Either way, it's another 5 from me. Can't really say anymore, the beats and overal ambient tone is exactly what I love listening to, so you kick ass. There, take that. :D

Gillenium responds:

Haha, thanks! I see we think alike musically. I like this one because it turned out so weird and different. Although, I do think you should reserve judgment until I release the 5th and final part of the series. I've been waiting until the previous part got 100 downloads until releasing the next one, but the 4th part is taking a while to get there... Ah well, I have a piece prepared for the holidays.

hMMmm

I might have listend to this before without knowing it, but either way I like it. Great peice with suttle beats in there and the octive down and up pitches were really great. Once again you leave me with nothing bad to say, damn your good music making skills! :D

Gillenium responds:

Gracious again. Not a whole lot happening in this part, but it's doing its job at connecting the other parts together.

Sexy

and by that i mean, damn that song is sexy. It just keeps getting better and better, I give this section another 5. Lovin the hell out of it man. Onto part III i say!

Gillenium responds:

Thanks, dude. I used a violin sample from the original Godzilla for this one.

Oh man

Once again, totally diggin it. I havn't been to newgrounds in awhile, school is kicking my ass, but the second I come back i check out your page again and DAYM, you've got 4 parts to a kickass ambient song that im totally freaking digging the shit out of. If that in anyway doesn't sound dirty. Love the hell out of part I, ill review all parts for ya. So far nothing by a 5 from me. Keep it up! ....oh wait, you already did.......HELL YEHA!!

Gillenium responds:

WOO! Yeah, this latest project is where I think I want to take my music from now on. It was kind've an experiment, but it worked well. I'm getting a beautiful synth/sampler for Christmas, so expect piano/ambient/idm for the future! Thanks for the many reviews, as always!

Hi! I am a musician and filmmaker from NC. I spent 9 years in Atlanta, Georgia working in the film industry. I'm back in Cary, NC figuring things out.
