She incorporated good loops but there needed some work on the volume because the acapella seemed a little too loud and also the form was off

I like the overall sound of it and did a pretty good job with the fusion, i think a little more work on the transitions is needed though but overall is good

I think that the C section sounded really good, i think that the form might be a little off though and i think maybe a little more volume control is needed because it sounds like some things are way louder than others but overall it was a really good song

I like how the the loops she used work really good together and that the transitions were smooth in between sections. I think that maybe there needs to be a little more work on the transition between the C section and the B section but overall it sounded really nice

I like the fusion in the music and it worked really well with the narration. The loops in it were fused nicely and had really good and smooth transitions

I like the genres she was trying to fuse the only thing is that i think more volume control is needed because i feel the acapella overpowers some of the loops

I enjoyed the beginning, the acapella you used works really well with the loops the only thing is that i had difficulty identifying the concrete in the song and i feel a little more instruments could have made it a little better

I like what was done with the narration and how it used and how the genres were fused prettier smoothly that being said though i feel a little bit more of the narration could have been used

The song has a really cool sound and i think the echo in the acapella was pretty good but i think some more volume control might be needed and also i think that there are is just a big mush up of the loops

I really like the intro to the song but i think more mastering might be needed because it sounds a bit too loud but besides that the project was really good

The acapella had a pretty cool sound but the song definitely needs some volume control because it is way too loud and also i can't tell what the fusion is because it feels like the loops are just randomly placed

What i liked the most was the intro because it just had a really nice sound that fit the acapella and besides that the transitions were pretty good as well, i think that this needs some more work with volume control because some loops just seems way too loud

I think that the piano worked pretty well with the acapella and i like the effects on the sound the only think i would change is bring down the volume on some loops because they seem overpowering also i don't see too much fusion in it

I like the effects used on the song and the fusion but i think that some more work on the transitions wouldn't be so bad to make it smoother between loops and genres

I like how the loops and the acapella go nicely with each other and how the sections transition smoothly the only thing is it doesnt seem like he fused any genres and that theres no concrete

who: strings, winds, percussion, brass, FULL ORCHESTRA, FREDRICH SMETANA
what: classical, instrumental
when: UK, PRAGUE
where: 1800s, 1875
why: to make people feel happy , sounds like music that would be in a movie, A STREAM OF WATER ON ITS WAY TO PRAGUE

i can see a peaceful happy city then as the music progresses, then city encounters a horrid storm and in the end people surface out of the destruction and then the sun comes out

a time when i felt this way is when I'm happy and think i have no homework and then i realize i do have homework and get mad and once i finish it I'm back to being peaceful
