octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[wanna be innocent]

This song has an interesting atmosphere throughout, kind of just chill and relaxing, and hazy but happy. The instruments you used were pretty interesting too, they all fit in the 80s/90s soundscape. Great work as always, keep it up :)

[Neodymium]

I thought this will be a funny magnet song lol but instead it's a great EDM track! Really reminds me of mid 2010s EDM stuff, really cool how close to the style you got. The instruments are great and vibrant, the melody is happy, and the song stays interesting by varying throughout. The main leads you use sometimes for the more intense sections are also pretty powerful! Great work, keep it up :)

FluxK responds:

thank you for your reply!

[Unimportance - Not Alone]

Interesting track! It sounded like falling in slow motion through space or something, just a very introspective and zone out atmosphere. The instruments were pretty and worked nicely together, and the beat you paired with the track fit perfectly. Great work, keep it up!

Unimportance responds:

thx

[dance of the dragonflies]

This really reminds me of late 2000s/early 2010s dance music, stuff like DJ Splash, Dimrain47, etc. so it made me feel really nostalgic! The melody is really beautiful too :)
Only thing I'd suggest is adjusting the mixing (some instruments sound too loud, some too quiet), and maybe more percussion variation. But otherwise I love it, great work and keep it up!

thnx

[demo22]

You should definitely turn this into a full song, it sounds great so far!

[City]

Sounds very pretty, definitely fits a night time city atmosphere! It's calm, but sounds active/energetic enough to be fitting of a modern city feel. Especially like the bell electric piano like instrument you used in this. I also feel like the art by itsmega fits the song really well too! Great job guys, keep it up :D

[RyuiY - リグノゲートの機械兵]

Man, your music always sounds amazing, this is beautiful! I love the pick up in energy before things get even more intense. It sounds like the beginning of a grand battle or something about to go crazy. The piano feels so mighty, the atmosphere feels climactic, and it feels like the world is spinning around you as you listen to this. All the phases are so interesting, the progression makes this song feel like a whole journey. Amazing and beautiful work as always, keep it up!!

RyuiY responds:

Thanks for listening and amazing review!
I'll keep it :)

[-Diagonal-]

This does have a very fun and light atmosphere to it haha, great work! I like the idea of just starting out and seeing where the song takes you rather than going in with a plan. The progression was pretty fun and the instruments you picked fit in a nice lighthearted vibe. Great work, keep it up :D

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks dude! Glad to help!

[Inside The Code]

Звучит круто! Атмосфера как будто плаваешь в компе, не знаю как объяснить lol. Прогрессия трека очень подходить к атмосфере тоже. Так держать!

JustDen responds:

Спасибо, этого в принципе я и добивался

[SINK|ROOM]

I think this has a really cool atmosphere! It definitely feels like something meant to be nostalgic and dreamy, which really fits the description you wrote too. Kind of feels like being lost in a hazy dream, and it's not scary but it's not happy, it's just explorative kinda. Really interesting mixing choice too, everything sounds loud but also somehow works together! There's a ton of really beautiful synthscapey stuff going on here in general. Awesome work, keep it up :D

Greyvoice responds:

Thanks! The "loudness" of it all is basically me just experimenting with sub groups and various layers of sidechaining to teach myself how to do that dense "Solar Ash Kingdom" type of ambient soundtrack type of thing. Really loved how soupy it could all sound but you could still point out certain tracks point of origin in the mess
