octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[citadel]

I like when the beat kicks in! It already sounded kind of dark, grim, and mysterious, but the beat also added a cool action element to it. When it gets layered on with more percussion half way, it starts to sound more full as well. Would work very well as a loop probably for a spooky place in a game. Keep up the great work as always :D

wineplume responds:

yeah that's a really nice idea, thanks!

[better sleep or not]

Sounds really nice! It feels like it fits in some kind of either menu music, or animal crossing night music, but obviously it doesn't have to be either and just sounds cool. I like the calm atmosphere while repeating the same base motif and building off of it more and more. I like the instruments you chose too, together with the modern instruments they create an interesting nostalgic feeling, but the song also feels explorative and mysterious at the same time. Great work once again, keep it up!

wineplume responds:

cheers octo
yes, i used some "old home computer" instruments and added modern ones as well. the hats (and these really quiet reverberating claps) were sampled from some random drum breaks.

[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!

G2961 responds:

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!!
