I would like to thank ocremix at this point for helping me develop as a musician, I wouldn't have come as far as I have without this site Also, Rozovian deserves a mention for helping me write Synphetic Aspirations. Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did making it Quote
linkspast Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 just listened to synthopia... Had a very nostalgic feeling to it. looking forward to hearing the rest of it when i get more time,, Quote
Tables Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 This is half the reason I keep coming to these forums, the free albums that randomly hit the boards here are always great. I'll check it out later Quote
Halt Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Will... Great stuff man, simply amazing. I love it. Keep pushing out the mad beats. Looking forward to more of this man. Really. I am Quote
ZealPath Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Pretty cool, I've been known to be a fan of the various free albums people have posted about here and this one is no exception, keep up the good work! Quote
The Biznut Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hey Willrock, thanks for sharing! Got it all downloaded and tomorrow it will be on the ipod. I think its a significant thing to say you would not be where you are musically if not for this site. The music that gets put up here is inspiring for sure! Quote
Sensai Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Don't have time at the moment, but this is likely to get a good thorough listen-through within the next few days. Thanks Willrock! Lookin' forward to it! Quote
WillRock Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys... keep them coming Quote
yangfeili Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Very nice, I've given it a quick listen, and I'm hearing a bit of a Falcom-esque vibe to some of those upbeat tracks that I really like. I could seriously picture Synphetic Aspiriations in particular as being a background track for an Ys game. Quote
SoulinEther Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 finally.. dl'ing. Synthtopia - did you borrow from your icecap remix? Similar motif as your original section + similar arpeggio (at least similar synth). No complaints though, very chill, describing it as nostalgic works for me. Moonlight: YES, PIANO LOVE. I wouldn't have minded more rubato but still very sweet. Sudden illusions - somewhat unexpected in some places and I liked that. Really digging the sounds you brought to this one. Symphetic had a nice vibe all aboot it. Dark Dreams reminded me of Bach I think. Haha, Metric Metal's intro juxtaposed to Dark Dreams was awesome. Strikes me as your heaviest piece on this album, coool. Across the Galaxy sort of reminds me of a pinball machine but more space-y with those pads. Perhaps it's the arpeggiating everywhere. Liking it. Very full and satisfying ending. Oh, and... thanks for making this and releasing it for free. Do you have commercial aspirations, by chance? Quote
WillRock Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Synthtopia - did you borrow from your icecap remix? Not intentionally... But the arpeggio is the same synth sound at the intro so I can see why you made the comparison. Do you have commercial aspirations, by chance? Interesting choice of words.. I do intend to make my later albums commercial but I'm testing the waters at the moment... Thanks for the comments man. Quote
Rozovian Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Nice work, man. Sudden Illusions and Synthopia are my favorites from the track. Nice work on the Terminator theme also. Dark Dreams is also cool... Might as well say the whole album is great. Oh and for anybody interested, my contribution to Synphetic Aspirations is the melody at 0:17-0:41, which Will heard while we were working on the music for FireSlash's game project. He apparently liked enough to incorporate into the track. Quote
Bahamut Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 This is a pretty neat album, although it seems more like an EP in length IMO. Quote
WillRock Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 This is a pretty neat album, although it seems more like an EP in length IMO. I actually prefer shorter albums, I listen through different albums a lot, in contrast to the rest of the world that seems to shuffle their playlist (altho I do shuffle too at times) I find that albums that are over 40 minutes in length get boring before you've heard the whole thing through personally, and thats something I try to avoid, hence the short album time. Thanks for the comment Quote
LuckyXIII Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Thanks for posting this. I dig your WIPs and such, so it's cool getting an album's worth of quality material. Quote
The Biznut Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 enjoyed the title track bud, haven't heard the rest yet. Looks good so far, thanks man! Quote
