octopus58's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jupiter]

I feel like you really captured the monstrous energy you were going for! This sounds kind of majestic, suspenseful, and cautious. There's like a feeling of almost danger when listening to this but amazement at the same time. I love how you used bass in this case to emphasize emotion, and the percussive pattern was also really nice to listen to and helped establish the edge feeling. The little chiptune break was really nice too and acted as a nice segway into yet another powerful part. I really love how this composition went, keep up the amazing work!

Thank you so much for this detailed review! Yes, I was mostly going for displaying the planet as a giant monstrous entity, yet still our protector

[Dream Adventures]

I love the trickly noise and the weird but awesome percussion you use for the claps, they're so unusual and sound so cool! In general the percussive stuff in here is great, but the melody is very beautiful too. This song is just a journey on its own because it goes so many directions throughout it's length. I can tell you really enjoyed playing with this song that's for sure, it sounds very versatile and fun. Awesome job, keep it up :D

ThatDeliciousCookie5 responds:

I sure had fun making it :) appreciate your comment!

[Elektricky]

You have a lot of very interesting gates and time play past the intro, which give the song it's weird uniqueness and even actiony edge I'd say, which makes this song perfect for imagining somewhat of a dynamic scene. I love the mastering on this track and the instrumentation choice too, it sounds so different compared to any dubstep I've heard before. I really love how special it came out and it was very cool to listen to, so keep up the awesome work!!

Xehao responds:

Thank you so much for the in depth review. Appreciate the feedback :D

[Mutants]

That was a pretty interesting intro, it felt like it was getting a little out of control but it also felt like it was intentional which was pretty cool! For the rest of the track, the progression was pretty interesting and the bassline was very groovy. The melody was pretty cool too. I love what you did, keep up the great work :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you so much for the review. Yeah I was going for like an early 90s game sound in the intro something reminiscent of TMNT.

[Across The Self]

The way you wrote this song somehow really manages to tug onto my emotions, I can't tell what exactly it is... I feel like its maybe the versatility of timbres use (the low growling noises from what sounds like the cello to the light and shrilly violins) and the combination with the slow but beautiful and amazing melody that keeps building up throughout parts of this composition. It's really an amazing piece and feels almost as if it's telling a story. The little intermission with the clarinet (or oboe?) was also so beautiful. This also reminds me a lot of classical music that I enjoy. Keep up the amazing work, I can tell you put a lot of soul into it and that's what makes it special :)

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so very much for your wonderful review and kind words <3
This tune is very near and dear to my heart, and it came straight from my heart as well, really glad that you enjoyed it! :)

[clouds]

This is so beautiful! Throughout listening to this I found so many different parts I really enjoyed. First off the sound choice, such a random one but all the instruments fit so well together! They were also really soothing and I can easily see why you named the song clouds. Secondly the melody was just really beautiful and relaxing, and had multiple parts. Lastly, the progression was just great altogether and it just kept getting more and more interesting! I really love this, keep it coming :D

elemode responds:

ayyy thank you so much! made my day :))

[King Of The Road]

I love me some ym2612 chip sounds lol. This sounds like something that would play in one of those 2D street brawler (?) type of games, for like a boss or something. I also love the progression of this track, it helps keep up the suspense and somehow feels like it's constantly rising or leading to something. Great work, keep more coming :)

Sykozealot responds:

Thank you kindly, the full album is officially out now ^^

Rest assure I will keep more coming in the future as well.

[Purple Heart]

Love the housey vibe in this! It sounds like great night time music for car rides or just relaxing on the beach or something. I love the gritty bass you use in this during the main parts. The melody is also very beautiful so that's nice to hear! Great work, keep it up :D

INDX8 responds:

I am very pleased, thank you

[Curious Enchantment]

This sounds so cool! Like something you'd hear on a cool loungey beach side restaurant at twilight or night time. I like the slight detune on the guitar instrument you're using, it adds to the style a lot. The occasional flute accents add so much to the room of the track, that it makes it very relaxing and spacey. It's just a beautiful song in general, keep more coming :D

AlexMaden responds:

Hey, I remember you, it's been years! Thanks for dropping by and leaving this lovely comment. It made my day! I hope you're doing well. d:

[Mirrored Throug Clouds]

Really beautiful ambient track. It seems very mysterious, would be perfect for some hazy area or a labyrinth in a game. The noise after the arp instrument you're using really helps add to the room of the track making it feel like there's a lot of space. In general it's just very beautiful, keep it up :D

terroristimusicali responds:

Thank you! Could be interesting for this. But I think my new song could be better!
Thanks for appreciate this!
