octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Galaxy]

Some cool sounding classic techno! I love the start, it sounds like you're just gaining speed on a space ship as you're approaching closer and closer to some menacing object. The synths you chose also sounded very "spacey", and after the first drop the beat just sounds like you're flying super fast through space. Great work on this, keep it up!

[Too Happy]

Gives some cool 90s vibes, nice! It's definitely happy, kind of like an aggressive happy if that makes sense haha. I like the energy in this, it just feels upbeat and makes you feel good. Keep up the great work!

[No Point in Eternal Realization]

Beautiful :)
It starts off with what I thought would be a melancholy song but already really nice chords and pattern, but when the drums kick in at around 0:38 along with the melody it becomes much more dreamy and happy. Just something to zone out to for a minute and relax. It feels like it progressively gets more open and wide too, which is a cool effect. Keep up the great stuff!

[AiirBear - Sober]

Very interesting beat you got going on here, and very pretty! I like the progression, and how part of the progression is actually the change in effects you use such as warbles, gates, etc. The synths you chose are great, and the pads are just so beautiful. Great work on this, keep it up!

[Cherry Blossoms]

Very pretty! I like the progression, and how realistic the instruments sound. They are articulated very well and feel like they're actually played by a human, and also come in during just the right time. Keep up the great work!

Possibly responds:

Thanks so much. Yeah, i try to keep the human element as much as I can - by playing things badly :D

[[11.12.23] i die]

Супер, как обычно :)
Мне нравится атмосфера, очень расслабляющая и красивая. Инкорпорация звука удара в стекляшку тоже класс. Так держать!

Спасибо большое!

[Departure]

Very relaxed, atmospheric and pretty. I love it! It sounds uplifting but also very emotional, like not sad but just hopeful I think would be the right word. The build ups and drops are all awesome, and the energy/bass is popping. The mixing is also great! Awesome stuff, keep it up :D

Krony responds:

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like my song :3

[Build Me an Orchard]

This would definitely fit for some game/movie, I agree! Especially something like waking up or walking out into a beautiful green town just after the sun has started rising. The intro is beautiful and just leads into more instruments swelling over time, bringing in a lot of emotion (especially happiness and just generally being uplifting). All the performers did an amazing job with not just playing the instruments, but bringing so much articulation and soul into the play style. Just generally amazing song from start to finish, great job everyone!!

pyzow responds:

thanks, octopus58!! I'll tell them!

[VOID]

Your name really fits the title haha, the song sounds great! It just feels like an accelerating descent into something unknown, scary, mysterious and powerful all at once. Kind of like you're in imminent danger but still approaching something you have no idea about or what will happen. The intro helps establish the darker atmosphere in general, while the piano adds an excitement/suspenseful feel to it. And I just love the melody in general. Great work, keep it up!!

[After the Bombs]

I've never played fallout so I haven't heard the music, but I think your music perfectly encapsulates a post apocalyptic feel. It sounds desolate, a little hopeless, and makes you feel like you're in a barren falling apart city. The guitar playing was sick, the slides were perfect, and just in general you did an amazing job at not only capturing an atmosphere but maintaining it for a whole seven minutes! Amazing work, keep it up :D
