octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Duophone]

So atmospheric and spaced out... I love it! The guitar has some kind of effect on it that I really like, and the pads you chose just create this awesome space element to the song too. The mood is something I can both doze off to or get motivated to, which is a great combo I think. The ending was also beautiful! Wonderful work, keep it up!!!

LoneEagle responds:

Thank you so much, your feedback is appreciated more than you can think.

[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

[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!

[Zone of Battle]

This is awesome! It sounds like 80s dance mixed with old video game music, I really like it :D

The progression is sick, I feel like as the song went on, the mood would change here and there while maintaining smooth transitions between each segment. Sometimes the energy would be happy, sometimes serious and easier, then serious and intense, etc.. I am in love with the instruments you chose as well, but they would be nothing if it weren't for your amazing use of them to make such a great sounding piece. Keep up the amazing work!!!

JustDen responds:

Thanks!! :)
That was the point to make 80s music with elements of retro(transformers the movie, old anime and etc) And i tried to mix moods of song!

[Quantum Nexus]

This sounds nice, kinda feels like 80s European dance mixed with a bit of Italo disco! The atmosphere is space-y and the feeling is happy, with the song constantly changing but staying on the same happy sounding major chord progression. I love the pads you used too, they really help create a fill in the background layer of the song while amplifying the spacey atmosphere. It also ended like a lot of old 80s songs with the fade out haha. Keep up the great work!

CosmoSynth responds:

Thank you for your comment and very positive feed back! I'm very happy you enjoyed :)

[hyperspace]

This has a spooky space energy, I like it :)
It would fit perfect in some escape space station sequence in an intense game moment. The detuned and pitch bending synths also really help establish a spooky atmosphere. Great stuff, keep it up!

zynth-music responds:

thanks! this was something microtonal and originally it was 12edo (normal sounding music) but I decided to give this a try :3 happy you like it
