octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NEWNEWNEW]

This has an interesting atmosphere, partially because of the unusual chords that make it sound kinda mysterious, eerie, but also deep. Kind of like an intense scene in some game where you're exploring some haunted factory or something. Mixing is very well done, and I like the drums you chose. Good work, keep it up!

Silnava responds:

thank you :)

[centipede]

This sounds so sick, a mix between hyper trance sounding stuff and maybe even boss battle because of how intense it is haha. Your use of Synth1 is awesome, the song sounds really powerful and old school at the same time. Keep up the sick work as always :D

wineplume responds:

thank!!!
synth1 is a fun synth, and very easy to learn.

[Future Retro]

Красивы, расслабляющий, и одновременно ретро и современный трек. Комбинация вообще супер! И когда ты сдвинул мелодию на один полутон это было очень круто. Как обычно очередной шедевр, так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! Да, я подумал, что тут должен быть сдвиг тона, потому что это очень крутой эффект, если делать его правильно.

[Get Ready!]

Супер трек! Мне очень нравится интро, он захватывает, и когда главная мелодия вступает это вообще класс. Напоминает тему из старой игры которая называется Turrican. Супер работа, так держать!!

JustDen responds:

Благодарствую!

[rush!]

First of all go to sleep 40 hours is overkill lmao
Second of all this is awesome! It feels like another race-y track, with a cool dance feel to it. Maybe it can work very well for some kind of spacey race track in a game with how spaced out it sounds :)

I love the way the melody progresses, the instruments you used, and the energy in general. As always, keep it up!!

wineplume responds:

synth1 for a couple leads and no other plugins, thank you for the review lol
will definitely consider taking a nap after shower lmao

[A Tale of Eternity]

This definitely sounds like Dimrain47 haha, amazing job guys! I instantly felt Twilight Techno in the beginning, and then it started to feel like At The Speed Of Light mixed in as well, and eventually it just ended up sounding like something completely on its own. All of these parts sound awesome, you all did fantastically. Keep it up!! :D

[Bioluminescence]

This is such a wonderful song, I feel like it can work well in so many things! The first thing I thought of (probably also in part to the title) is a beach at dusk with the night lights just starting to turn on. The instrumentation is very beautiful, and I really love how you used every single one such as the strings to build tension, and the bells to create some magic, etc.. As for the melody, I feel like it's so nice as it varies throughout the entire song to keep it interesting, happy, and dancey. You have a lot of amazing songs recently, keep it up!

[Littleburg #3]

This is so pretty and calming, I love it! Feels like it could easily play in some village area in an RPG. The instruments you chose are perfect, and the progression just flows so naturally and nicely. I just wish it was longer because I was getting excited towards the end there haha. Still feels like it loops at a pretty nice point, I'd definitely have fun listening to this while playing something. Great work, keep it up!

[sad story]

The song has sad in its title, yet feels kinda happy at the same time, I like it :)
The chord instrument you used is definitely moody, maybe along with the bass as well. The melody is really pretty though, and the percussion is kinda fun. I really like the DX7 sounding EP you used throughout the song as well. Also there's something kinda cool listening to something from 2011, it feels like it hasn't been that long ago and now it's 13 years later... oops

Anyways though great track as always, keep it up :D

[Fantaisist Procession]

You know a cinematic song is good when it feels like it can tell a story, which yours definitely illustrates! The rises and depressions of intensity and energy, the mood changes, and use of instruments helps evoke emotions at different parts as well as create intrigue. I like how the song starts out easy, almost as if you are indoors before you go out to the amazing wilderness type of feeling. I think you have done an amazing job, keep it up!!

Fightotnt responds:

Thank you very much for the encouragement! This is exactly how I wanted it to make you feel, and I'm happy to see that it actually worked!
