Kevin,

I really enjoyed your song. It had a lot of structure and organization. You would return to a chorus even after adding instruments and changing the speed, which helped give your song structure and affinity. You were also successful in maintaining a steady rhythm with the, what sounded like bass and guitar. The change in speed from beginning to end helped build the tension in the song and had it more anticipated for when you were going to speed it up, as you did in the end of the song. The guitar and bass were also able to add a little funk the song with gave it a consistent feel.

Kenny,

I thought your song had a very consistent and enjoyable sound. You were able to keep the rhythm with the drums, which allowed you to add more instruments without losing your original focus. I also noticed frequent changes in timber, or the noisiness and softness of the song. Every time the song got quieter, it slowed down the speed of the song as well. The opposite happened every time the song got noisier, it sped up. I also noticed that you kept the same structure by going from loud to soft and soft to slow consistently throughout the song with gave it good organization and fluency.

Vivid,

I thought your song was very eclectic and showed a lot of different music styles. It was almost like something out of girl talk. The way you mashed up different speeds and intensity of instruments really gave the song a lot of texture and depth. Although the song seemed to lack structure and organization, it still worked in the way that you arranged your instruments and transitioned into the different parts. Toward the middle of the song it seemed to take a more impulsive shape and start to change more drastically that it did in the beginning. I thought this was a great way to use garage band and experiment with all the different sounds. Great Job!
