Comments: I hope my comment are helpful enough. APi_ZZ -- Scaffold The introductory atmosphere really comes through, and then the contrasts, especially around 1:00 and 2:30 are nice. I think the organization probably rests upon the intro, these contrasts, and on getting the atmosphere right. It mig...

Frame for Nothing https://soundcloud.com/g-jardine/swc080_crosshatched_scaffolding-for-nothing track built on 28 seconds of loop sorry, I didn't improv an acoustic melody over the top of the soft synths! so I can't claim this is a 'scaffold' or base for that.

A Future in Noise: Yeah, that makes sense. That really is how the piece and line feels.

Here is my vote, anyway, from 1st to 5th place (by ranking, not by points): 1 VCA-089 2 Havol 3 EsteveCorbera 4 Doc Jon 5 satyatunes And here are my comments. Technically I have notes on all other competitors' pieces, but my notes on Arelem and VCA-089 come short of a critique, so I really only have...

Update: should now be downloadable. Very lovely picture. Unfortunately, pictures that are this ambient and this lovely might trick me into thinking I can write a story with them, without actually giving me any story. Since this is just voice and keys, that (and the song itself) is apparently what y...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC069 May 2023 - Voting until 01-JUN-2023 23:59 UTC+2/CEST
All right, my comments are as usual subjective. I can get impatient at waiting for the repetitions in EDM and I have heavy suspicions of artificial-sounding voices, and this might disadvantage electronic music. I do like synths and some degree of EDM, anyway. I basically like listening to songs on t...

Here is my piece, 'Swoon Waltz'. (Sure, I might alter the name slightly. The idea is that one is carrying on at the same time as kind of fading out.) https://soundcloud.com/g-jardine/swc069-crosshatched-swoon-waltz This is the least significant piece in an EP I hope to make. But I wrote it just this...

First, comments on others' pieces. (Thank you!) EsteveCorbera Here it was the guitar in particular and also the drums and the rest of the instrumentation that got me in. Such a fun opening riff.
