Thoroughly enjoyable song, kudos to Dhsu... but I had one issue with it.

This wasn't mentioned by any of the judges or djp, but I noticed an audible change in background noise throughout the piece. I listened using three different sets of headphones, and heard it all three times. Certain times in the piece there is an audible background hiss, whereas other times it dissapears.

I notice it first 5 seconds in when the hiss mysteriously appears out of nowhere. It promptly disappears 9 seconds in, but reappears again at 14, dissapears at 16, returns at 20... etc.

I don't hear this in any other music I've ever listened to on my computer, which leads me to believe it isn't a sound card issue, but if no one else noticed it... am I just going crazy?

'The Trial in Concert' by Spekkosaurus for instance has a slight hissish sound that is persistant throughout (probably because it's recorded live), and that's fine. 'Time's New Scar' by gutzalpus in comparison doesn't exhibit the hiss at all. This song seems to alternate back and forth, and it's a very distracting quality to an otherwise fantastic piece.

Anyway, if this could be confirmed by anyone else, I would appreciate it... if not, maybe some explanation as to why it would be happening with this piece alone?

There hasn't been a mix from Dhsu that I haven't liked, and this is no exception. Excellent piece. Very enjoyable. Just don't listen to it at work... You wouldn't want to fall asleep and get yourself into trouble.

wow. this is probably the most real song on the whole website (maybe 1 step ahead of FZero Silence remix by JigginJonT). Is there sheet music to this? And if there is, what's the time signature? The single sped up beat in every measure is just playing mind tricks on me. For some reason, my speakers buzz when its played louder than normal. might just be a weird thing tho. i'd give it a 9.7 out of 10. Very nice.

Oh boy, pure piano mixes. Been WAITING for those, actually tried to make a few, but, y'know, I suck at remixing.

Good stuff, like the way it doesen't sound particularly well played. As you said, sleep-inducing, definetly.

Good stuff.

I did not like the orignal song very much but I like the remix. That is what a good remix does and this does it very well.

So... no one can hear the hiss, then? Really, it's quite frustrating, because it makes an otherwise beautiful peace unlistenable for me...

Some very nice piano work from Dhsu. I take my metaphorical hat off to you :) A very mature level of arrangement and performance is shown here, and it makes for a very listenable piece indeed. I look forward to your work in future.

As for the noise in the background, I can hear it too, but only if I turn my headphones up really loud. It's probably just background noise, and I'm guessing the reason it keeps on coming in and out would be if Dhsu used a compressor at all (might be wrong, though, in which case I have no idea). Not very much can be done about it unless he records it again.
