Genclops's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game song?]

I think you have some cute content here. I particularly like the little run at :23 . I think something that would have helped this song a lot is a little drums. It has a very bouncy feel that would lend itself well to some simple rhythm addition. This is furthered by the huge cymbal crashes you use (which are a tad high in the mix) which beckon at your access to drums. Otherwise, I liked where you were going with this song- it would be nice in a level-up screen or something of the like.

Merpy responds:

thanks
i didn't add drums because i couldn't find good drums on fl studio
(i deleted the default set by accident and i didn't want to remake this song)
and your music is really good

[Sleepy Peace]

I think you have a very nuanced and gentle stroke to your playing. The gradual change in dynamic around 1:10 was exactly what the piece needed to keep your attention and give it that little push into greatness. This really is a nice composition, my only criticism from viewing all the work you have uploaded is that I would like to hear a little more variety. You are clearly very talented, both as a player and as a composer- and I think it could be an interesting exercise for you to attempt something stylistically that you have never tried before- just pick an idea in unfamiliar terrain and run with it. That of course, is just my two cents. This song, and your work as a whole though is great overall- I really enjoy your style and look forward to hearing future compositions.

FooRight responds:

As much as I wish I could say that I played this, alas, it is a composition in a software called Sibelius, which has a playback feature that can also export the audio.

Variety is something I've definitely been attempting. So I agree wholeheartedly about expanding my style to encompass a greater range of feeling!

Thank you!

[Tower top floor - Battle]

I really enjoy this one. I think you accomplished the imagery you were aiming for. I particularly like the beginning; I think the soft, warm string pad really compliments the harder, busier "reverse" feel in the lead. From seeing your other work, I personally feel like putting in some extra time on this song - adding a bit more to the end and making it loop (due to your proficiency in looping) would have been worth it. I think you had enough material to be interesting on a second pass at least.

SonicJ responds:

Thank you for the review ! I appreciate your analysis on my imagery for this song, it's spot on! It's a bit hard for me to continue to working on songs since I don't own the full version of Fl studio, so a lot of my projects tend to be cut short due to the circumstances.

[Word is Bond]

Dude, your beats are ridiculous.
I love your style, you manage to make everything tripped out and maintain an unrelenting neck injuring pocket. Seriously great work.

BOULLIE responds:

Thanks for the props man.

[Config]

Easily the best hip-hop I've come across on newgrounds. Fantastic work. Vaguely brings to the synapses Nujabes. I will def check out more of your work.

BOULLIE responds:

Thanks man >.>

[-Orr- Larry's Theme]

FF much?

It sounds like a watered down corny version of every Final Fantasy battle song ive ever heard.

DavidOrr responds:

haha I'm not sure I hear the relationship, maybe it's one of the FF's I haven't played? Thanks for the review!
