I deleted the forum post and banned the user... I am not sure if I have the power (only being a mod of these Forums) to get rid of the webpage.

throwin in my 2 cents, wall of text alert

Seems like your songs lack contrast, that is, there aren't really any high or low points that I could identify. Actually, it's like your songs stay mostly at a medium/medium-high intensity the entire time with only little fluctuation, which makes it feel like the song isn't really going anywhere
I could also say your songs are a bit unmemorable, because in a typical song there are sections that repeat themselves at least once (stuff like the chorus, verse, etc.). That repetition tends to make a melody catchy or memorable, but your songs are made up of many non-repeating, one-shot sections instead (could be wrong tho lol). I think this would be fine if these sections were highly distinct, but as I've said earlier I don't feel there's any noticeable contrast between these parts at all

I think I can also attribute the sameness of your songs due to your harmonies always being some sorta arpeggio/scale in an 8th note rhythm (with the occasional rest). You could probably spice it up by using 16ths or triplets if ya wanna get cuhrayzee
I could also say the same about the melodies themselves, which are just straight quarter notes/8th notes most of the time, could probably use more syncopated rhythms to mix it up
[url=]Here's a song with triplet-esque rhythms out of the ass[/url], not sure who made this sequence but it's god tier

You can also do pseudo-BPM changes by setting the BPM to something like 200. By doing this you can write in 100 BPM by doubling the spacing between the notes, and write at 200 by just putting notes down normally. Either that or you can set the grid to 1/8 which i find visually unappealing but that's just my opinion
There was also [url=]some weird ass pseudo-BPM change I did this one time that wasn't just a factor of the original BPM[/url], which changes from 130 to a swingy sounding 175, dunno I guess you could ***** around with this lol

Speaking of bpm, all of your songs are 100-110 BPM, kinda gets stale mang gotta try something different

anyway i might sound super critical in this post but your songs are not bad, in fact you seem to have a good grasp of music
also your use of mixed meter at times was cool i guess
also i spent too much time writing this post holy *****

Land of Dream ~Complete~ :

Eric - this is really unique sounding and I enjoyed it.  You meander, but the ideas are neat.  Maybe you could pick a few themes and then alternate, then it would sound a little less like brilliant noodling and more like a song.

Forbidden Lands ~Complete~:

This was really great.  It loses some focus here and there and was probably a little too long, but I enjoyed it.

The Gateway of Portals is my favorite song!

Theme of Wisdom (Finished):

I really like this one; well done!

I really like all your songs, you really create emotions in some of your sequences.
My favorites by you are:
1. Path of the Warrior - This one is really sad, I almost actually cried lol
2. Forever in Mind - I don't know why you never continued making this one or why it has so few plays, it's an amazing song.
3. The Heart of Despair - I think you really out did yourself with this one, it's really inspiring in many ways.
All of your songs are really great, but those are my personal favorites. I hope you continue to make music for the next thousand years.
