A dark and brooding mini-suite for unaccompanied guitar-type instruments. This song was remixed by Delux here
Insert lousy backstory here |

pinggg  oh man, and what a !
This is the kind of classical/fantasy song that really can't be described... it's just teriffic!  Excellent guitar licks, and I love the way the composition seems to breathe with the slight bpm changes.
Guitar seems a bit "metallic" and not entirely as soft as I'd like... this is the main detraction in my ears. The bassline is fairly simple, it just goes along with the excellent riffs. Sometimes I think it could be enhanced a bit, to bring it more upfront, but quite frankly I don't think this is what you had in mind for this piece 
I proticulary liked the point at :50 when it took on an almost celtic air. My ears were just begging it to keep going on... The part around 2:20 and on where it speeded up was quite nice also. Only thing that really got me there was the lack of chords in the playing. The occasional strum (such as it is, I mean you're using a computer not a guitar but stay with me here) would perk it up considerably. The harshness of the samples also comes across here a bit, but I'm just being picky
To the listeners: an excellent guitar solo awaits you! Don't hesisate on downloading this because of my comments above, I was just being a nit-picky composer. As a listener, this is really quite nice 
Final score: 8.5. Points detracted off for samples, and serveral places where the articulation was a bit off...
Cheers  |

This is a great Composition! it kind of reminds me of some music from a Computer game called Kings Quest, an old RPG by Sierra entertainment. Or Even Ultima!
Reading through the Comment you posted with the composition really helped me Visualise what the piece intended.
I closed my eyes for a minute and i could feel the water against the longboat gently drifting down the dark river! 
Beautiful ! ! ! !
But in terms of Production i felt that it would really benefit from a real guitarist playing it, or if there isn't one to hand perhaps a higher quality steel guitar sample Set/library
Superb Composition 8.5
Production - 6.5
But i would definitly reccomend it |

Review
Though the guitar sounds pretty synthetic and quite metallic (almost no dynamics in some points), the melodies are very fascinating...
Closing my eyes I'm being teleported to an old rpg I was playing years ago.. man it was something like 6 years ago... and suddenly the graphics, the characters, the forest came up in my mind.
This is really an evocating piece of music pal! Excellent for a RPG with some minor adjustements (like adding some touch dynamics when you play those 1/32..or 1/64 well I think you understand what I mean)...
I love this kind of songs, where a single instruments can make you dream and NEVER feel the lack of other sounds... No emptiness, just emotions; and only a guitar...Aaaah, I love this song particularly, the arpeggios are very clean and harmonic, with some good variations on chords and nice melodies leading the composition.
Simple arrangement, but great efforts at composing. Recommended!

| Good composing again, I'd have used the tremolo thing more sparingly though, gives a synthetic feeling |

Two questions:

2. is Suspen a guitarist? |

| This is really good, I like the way it feels like it's playing naturally, speeding up and slowing down slightly. Really nice |
