octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~Far Lands~]

Pretty interesting energetic ambient track! I like the introduction of all the different parts, and it definitely also gives off a explorative mood. The instruments you chose definitely fit the Minecraft style of ambient tracks so I think you got that very right. Only thing I suggest is maybe have some of the instruments automate volume (like for example either have a crescendo when introducing an instrument, or have a constant repeating decrescendo, etc.). But otherwise it's really cool! Great work, keep it up :)

Thanks for the advice! I really need to pay more attention to instrument volume.

[Hullaballoo!]

Sounds like funky 80s mall music, I like it! Would have honestly perfectly fit a game store in my opinion. I like the synth stabs you use, and the subtle pluck melody overlay. The percussion also really matches the feeling I think you were going for, it definitely feels just relaxing and happy while also being energetic at the same time. Amazing stuff, keep it up!

Thank you!

[Moonglasses]

Very bouncy and happy! It definitely feels like music that would fit the moon/space :)
I really like the progression/development from the beginning, and my favorite part was definitely around the middle where all the awesome instruments shine at once. The percussion timing was interesting, and it feels really good when it finally gets steady around the middle as well. Both intro and outro feel just right and at the right time too. Great work, keep it up!!

[Subconscious Echos]

Sounds like music that's very fitting for some futuristic alien society, as you mix some ethnic/world sounding tribal music with some more modern dance/trance style stuff. It's a really cool mix! The intro was long but worth it, and I like how the song carefully develops over a larger period of time. The feeling is very magical and explorative, and very unfamiliar which is why I mentioned the alien thing earlier. I honestly really like it and I think you did an amazing job once again! Keep up the awesome work as always :)

Indeed. I love me some sci-fi feelz. I was very happy with the balance of elements in this. I'm glad you agree! I like giving more space for evolution, even if it means a longer run time. A worthwhile adventure, always takes time IMO. Thanks again! So glad you like. ^_^

[demise.]

Звучит как микс Synthwave и Hiphop , результат очень классный! Мне особенно нравятся колокольчики которые ты использовал. Это третьи трек который я слышу от тебя сегодня, класс! Так держать :D

G2961 responds:

Спасибо!

[im not calm.]

Красиво :)
Медленная мелодия очень хорошо вливается с перкуссией, и с амбьянсами которые ты использовал. Так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! :D

[happy death.]

Очень странный трек, не обычный, но очень интересный. Типа счастливы, но тональность на пианино звучит грустно и немного страшно. Инструменты которые ты использовал очень подходят и подчеркивают атмосферу трека. Как обычно, так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо!!!

[Anthropocene Liftoff]

Oooooh this really sounds like a launch/liftoff song, love it! The ramping up energy, the exciting atmosphere, and just the general hype and happiness in this song is perfect. I think you hit exactly what you were going for! It's also very dancey and happy sounding. I love the grainier instruments you used in combination with some chiptune sounding stuff and other modern instruments. My favorite is the synth that has cool melodies towards the beginning and end. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

[Videogame World]

Definitely feels happy and bouncy, I like it! Kind of makes me think of the nostalgic feeling of playing a lot of older flash games haha. The trance gates felt like an awesome addition to already amplify the song, and I also like the soft rounded lead. The bassline and some other elements also reminded me of hampsterdance for some reason lol (in a good way) but the song in general still sounds very nice and original. Great work, keep it coming!

MusicBySpektral responds:

thanks for the response! I'm glad you liked it :D

[meowoof]

I love the crushed sounds mixed with the more modern/clean instruments here! It's a really cool style over the already great melody. Which speaking of, the melody sounds really pretty and happy, and dancey too. I like how the instruments all take turns and have time to shine, and just the instrument choices in general. Ending is very pretty too. Awesome stuff, keep it up!
