Infinite Skyline by ZMobius

To tell you the truth IMO, I think this piece is way to long, unless of course your into that sort of thing. I sounded like you put 4 or 5 songs together to get one final piece. I found there to be alot of repatition to the piece, although in the middle was the best creativity. The beginning part seemed like it was never going to stop or change. I will admit though there are quite alot of different change up, but this was just to much to concentrate on. I think if you shortened some of the over extended parts and leave in the more creative keyboard parts, you would have a much better composition. This of corse is just my opinion. I try to keep my music to 3-4 minutes at the very longest. Your piece because of the many variations sounded more of a medley of different pieces spliced all together. I don't know where you were coming from on this piece, so it is hard for me to give more of an opinion having more information needed to be a bit less discriptive on my opinion. Lots of good stuff, but make 2, 3, or even 4 different pieces out of this. Maybe you just wanted one loooooong dance piece for the disco club. Good luck with this. Lots of good stuff, but for me just to long. Peace be with you. Blessings, John

I enjoyed this overall - although some of the sections did seem to keep on repeating the same chords again and again without variation making it hard to keep my attention focussed on the track.

It wasn't what I expected, when you said 'trance' and 'electronic jazz' I expected something more jazz in feel and variation. Although I'm not a huge listener of jazz, my expectation of a jazz track would have much more variety around the chords (not perhaps changing the chords themselves too often but having more variety in the way they're interpreted).

Part of my problem in commenting, I suppose, is that I don't know what trance electronic jazz is supposed to sound like! Could you name a couple of artists I could look up so that I know what you were aiming for?

Overall I enjoyed it though.

Cheers,
Terry.

I can honestly say that you probably won't find any artists that use the same style that this song uses because it's heavily experimental. Sections of the song are trance, and other sections of the song are jazz fusion, which is why in the first and last sections you hear more ambiance and in the middle section more melody. (There's no possible way to combine ambient and melodic sounds, so that's the reason for the separation) The trance sections are used for effect. The beginning section is all really build-up to 2:51, where the melodic section begins. The section beginning at 6:18 is a reprise of the beginning to bring an outro to the song. Had it not been there, the song would sound incomplete.


I will make sure to edit the OP and add that it is an experimental piece. The fact that I mentioned it is electronic jazz is misleading because of the long trance sections.
