octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Monsters]

So pretty, sounds like beach chill music which is one of my favorite atmospheres :D
I can totally imagine something like this playing during sunset at one of those beachside cafes on the Mediterranean or something. It's funny because the lyrics are sad, but the melody sounds so uplifting and lovey. But for real the atmosphere you created is great, and this is sick all around, great work and keep it up!!

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks a lot for this detailed review and the good rating! I really like the depiction you made of the ambiance!

[Orbit]

Oh man, I wish this was longer, it's so pretty and relaxing c:
I like the intro with just the synths, but the melody post the drop sounds so beautiful mixed in with all the other instruments like the percussion and the guitar. Sounds like the type of music you'd listen to if you were on the moon watching spaceships fly by haha. Great work, keep it coming!

[Pokemon ahh song]

Sounds like the original GB versions of Pokemon music, I love it! Always cool to see people make Pokemon battle themes with completely original melodies. It feels like you followed the formula pretty well too, with a buildup before the main melodic part starts, a little break around the middle, before getting back into an intense section. Great work here, keep it coming!

Mememano responds:

Thanks, I used the formula from this video (it's in spanish)

If you also want to know the plugin, it's from this video (in spanish too)

[Main Theme - Nymble]

Beautiful orchestration! It really does sound like the beginning of a very exciting and fantastic adventure. The work on the strings feels like it was key to amp up the other instruments like the woodwinds. The percussive work is great too, it's just the right amount of oomf the song needed while keeping it somewhat calm and happy! This game feels worth checking out just for the soundtrack alone haha. Amazing work, keep it up!!

xalezar responds:

Thanks for the detailed review! I’m glad the adventure feeling came through. Yeah, I wanted to do more with the phrasing and dynamics, but it ended up too quiet when played on speakers, so I had to flatten out the expression quite a bit.

Will slowly upload the rest of this OST over the next while. There’s like 10 tracks or so.

[~[Silicium]~]

I really like the classic dance chord progression, and the instruments you chose! The house piano was a great choice for this as well. Personal suggestion though, this would sound super awesome with some more bass and percussion! It would honestly almost instantly make this an amazing dance hit haha. But otherwise this is great, keep it up :D

DeimosMusic responds:

Thanks!

[Two Inside]

Very beautiful and dreamy :)
I like how cohesive all the instruments you used are, and the buildup to the more "intense" parts of the song. I put intense in quotes because I meant in the scope of ambient music kinda haha, so nothing crazy but definitely more energy and stuff. The main lead throughout most of the song is really beautiful, and I love the piano accent backing too. Very pretty work, keep it up :D

alexbralles responds:

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :3

[Johnny, grab the telescope!]

Sounds very classic techno trance, I like it! It has a spacey atmosphere to it for sure, so having telescope in the name is fitting haha. The progression was pretty fun too, and I like how a lot of sections are lead by an electric guitar. It just feels like a very fitting instrument alongside all the other electronic ones. Great work, keep it up :D

pitchblack64 responds:

Feedback like urs really motivates me to keep it going. Thanks.

[Grib]

Энергия трека супер, очень гиперактивная! с начало до конца было очень интересно слушать :)
Так держать!

Pepenyan responds:

спасибки)

[Shattered stars]

This sounds really pretty, and I really like how the energy picks up through the song! Kind of gives me the mental image of slowly flying past the layers of the atmosphere into space or something at night. The melody is very beautiful, even when it starts off with so little instruments and only builds more harmony towards the latter part of the song. Great work, keep it up!

hoopygluemusic responds:

thanks! i was very happy with the melody when i first made it so i'm glad you like it too :)!

[Dragon-Pirate]

Я был так рад когда увидел что у тебя новый трек выскочил! Мелодия правда звучит пиратская какая та, с очень веселой и приключительной энергией. Могу представить как огня рыгающий дракон плавает под эту музыку хаха. Молодец, как обычно супер, так держать!!

ZhenekNasranin responds:

Мне тоже нравится, что время идет, а моя музыка не перестает быть хуже.
Чем бы это ни было вызвано, но я благодарен причине, по которой я продолжаю писать достойную музыку
