Aww, but I can only make really okay pasta :(
Well this sure is an interesting piece. I think the sounds design is pretty darn awesome. Once the real melodies start floating in, they've got some nice flow too. The mixing is splendid as well. All the creativity that went into this piece is pretty amazing. So much unique and unconverntional stuff going on o.O
And somehow, the track still manages to be structured :/
The sound at the end is just brilliant to top it off. Easy favorite :p
Yay! Thanks as always for the kind words, LSD!
This is one of my favorites from the album. I get an excited and adventurous feel from this! The dynamic work here is fantastic :)
Honestly, I love it too. I spent such a long time on this track in particular. I kept on coming up with versions of the track that weren't very memorable, or didn't make me feel anything, but then I came up with this melody and I fell in love with it. It was such a good feeling and I'm glad it's your favorite too.
This was one of my favorites from the competition (which is why it received one of my three votes)! I like how you modified the track a bit for this upload too (with the vocaloid and such). I mean, to be honest, I knew this track was made by you during the competition, because of the style of course XD.
But I already left a short review of this in the thread, so whatevs :p
Great work!
The vocaloid is meeeeeee :(
Congratulations on winning the audiopick for Spooktacular!
I want to quote myself on my review of that track:
"I think you've earned a slot as one of the winners with this."
I'd just like to point out how right I was. This must mean my taste in music is spectacular. Which must mean that your music is spectacular, right? Right.
If this track would've been made for a competition, I'm sure it would have good chances too, as the listening experience is wonderful. And you did most of this in one night too, which is really cool :)
I think the download ratio speaksfor itself; people like this track. With this amount of skill, I'm sure you'll make it big with your music some day, if you keep working for it :p
Ahh, we all know the dread of exam week. Good luck with that!
And thanks for making this chill music :3
Thanks as always man. I think this isn't spooky enough to be in spooktacular.
That view-download ratio...I admit that I spammed tweets with newgrounds hashtag all the time. :P
This is an awesome cover dude o.O
Way to put your own spin to it too! :D
Great job!!
Oh thank you so much :)
Ugh, I've been really lagging behind on reviews lately. I think I'm just going to pull the "I was so late no one will notice I never showed up" card for most of them.
But you have made three awesome pieces that are not yet reviewed by me, so I'll write some short things here.
Your latest three tracks have the honor of having been part of my hangover recovery this morning :p
Essentially, I just listened to like 20+ relatively recent Newgrounds tracks while lying in my bed. It was a good recovery :3
Of course, I heard all the tracks when they came out, but didn't review them at the time for whatever reason :p
Right, to the track:
We all know it. I love them music boxes, and other bright stuff like the celesta, glocks etc. (lest forget the piano). And the other eery stuff is neat too! Especially the theremin sounding thing is awesome beyond my comprehension XD
The melodies and chords you picked are wonderful, and creepy. If I had to complain about anything, I guess the sfx at around 1:15 were a bit loud imo, but it doesn't distract too much from the piece.
I hope to hear more stuff like this in the future, as it's really in my style, so to say :D
Have a good day :)
Well, there has been an awful lot going on of late, and I know that you're already quite busy even without anything else getting added to your plate. This past week has been rather long and unexpectedly Sisyphusian, so I can fully understand. No apologies necessary. :)
That said, it's a pleasure to receive another update-slash-review from you, my friend! I am honoured to have been a part of your hangover cure regimen. Much better than the offer of a greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray, that's for sure! (obscure references ftw) Suffice to say, I am happy to hear that you're feeling somewhat less hungover. Newgrounds was originally developed specifically for that purpose, but hardly anyone remembers because they were all completely sloshed at the time.
Music boxes, man. Dem music boxes are da bes! And they can work so very well when crafting a spooky ambient track like this. I really don't make stuff like this as often as I could (or should), but it's always hellaciously fun. That other instrument, the one that sounds a bit like a theremin, is actually the Angelic Whistle instrument in the Sytrus library, though at a rather low octave. I'm quite a fan of this particular sound, and it also features quite predominantly in the first track I released this year, 'Wind Requiem - Chill Mix.' Come to think of it, I got a very nice review from you on that track, as well! ^__^
Yeah, some of the effects get kinda loud, I will grant you that. I was actually hoping to have a wider variety of SFX, but whenever I tried to add other types to the mix it would thoroughly misbehave. I'm pretty sure the whole thing was quite haunted by a mischievous little poltergeist...
Incidentally, I hope that you very much enjoyed your Friday the 13th! It rather sounds like you did if that hangover was any kind of indication. It was quite dark and stormy hereabouts, so that was appropriate.
I'm not sure just how often I'll be making stuff like this, but I do think you'll like what I'm working on now. It does sort of fall into a similar category, perhaps.
Thank you again for yet another fantastic review, Lucid! I always appreciate it. May you also have an excellent day. :D
This is another one of the pieces I just kinda found myself listening to while recovering from a hangover today. It did me some good for sure. Thanks! :D
Lol glad it got you through your (probably) forgetful night!
Thank you for checking it out! I'll be sure to repay the favour when I get the chance!
This is really nice, ya know.
So during the morning today, I was still drunk/hung over from yesterdays partying. During the morning, I listened to this like 5 times in a row (along with a lot of other NG stuff) as part of my sad recovery. This track gets a really different atmosphere to it if you imagine yourself being semi drunk, feeling like vomiting, and kinda having it play as a background piece to contrast your thoughts and misery (it wasn't that bad; I've been way worse).
I really like the rhythm, intrumentation, melodies and harmonies. I think you pulled of the jazziness quite well. I go to jazz bars from time to time, and I'd say you caught the mood and the feel of such a place for sure. I'd like to hear more like this from you!
(Also, is this one of those times a year that everyone is too lazy to go review stuff? I know I've been busy too, but I am lagging behind on sooo much :p)
P.S. Turns out, I went to another bar as well today with some friends, without having fully recovered yet. Yay for Finland... XD
Awww...thank you so much for all the positive feedback, LSD! :D I want to do more tracks like this too, but at the same time I pride myself on wildly flitting between genres like a maniac. ^^ Glad to know you're having fun with all your alcohol-related endeavors, meanwhile I cannot legally drink alcohol in my home country for another 2.5 years. :O I too have fallen way behind in my reviews. Sorry about that! I'll definitely find some time by next weekend, if not this one. Thanks again! Also, I forgot to respond to your email. I'll fix that ASAP!
