Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mundum de Somniorum]

Gets me thinking of Nightmare Before Christmas, or Barber of Fleet Street, but something else too... the melody feels familiar, the closest I get is the Mai HIME soundtrack I think... it has that same pace, melody and mystery, but picks up in a more orchestral, Tim Burton-like way. Not comparing to other pieces that aren't all that similar though: this sounds awesome. I love the atmosphere it builds up! Magical and intense at the same time. Music like this is definately your forte!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I agree that this has one of those "feels familiar" feels. The main melody (as in, not the chords or anything, just the very notes playing the melody at the start) was not made by me. This was part of a competition where you took other people's melodies and turned them into something greater :D

I can see the Danny Elfman (Tim Burton movies composer) comparion for sure, especially with the voice used, and the mystical vibe (+ the bells)! I'm really glad you enjoyed it ^___^
Thank you for another great review!

[Biffy's Theme (2018)]

Getting... very big? Dubious message there, you know! XD I really like the music with this one though, it feels like the early Final Fantasy style, mighty, majestic, mysterious, atmospheric, walking through a castle in a summer daze... marching brass, magical flute and all, and it builds ever so slowly... really nice.

Probably not something you should tell a girl XD

Thank you for the kind words once again Cyberdevil. Everything you described is exactly what I was going for. I even used instruments taken straight from Final Fantasy VII :)

[Orangemazing]

Really pleasant-sounding little bit of guitar. Gets better and brighter the further it goes too. Uplifting. Seeping of energy. Melodic all the while. Nice!

[Joi [LOOP]]

A little but really joyous loop! Doesn't seem like the loop thing's perfect, though that might just be a side-effect of the player I guess... really dig the background bass. Gritty. And the happy vibe on top of that. Could keep this looping a looong time!

Quarl responds:

I've noticed it with loops lately. I export the wavs same as always. Might be the convert to mp3 that did it...

[Mornin']

Such a happy morning tune! Really conveys that time of waking up on a lazy Sunday morning. Smooth, easy listening and pixel style.

-cd-

[Boots' Theme (2017)]

Such a nice and ambient tune! Easy listening.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you very much for listening, sir ^-^

[-Time Machine-]

It's got that energy! :D And exotic vibe too, like running through some strange, foreign land, sand-dunes blazing (assuming sand dunes are globally foreign)... awesome track.

-cd-

[Heading Nowhere]

If this looped it'd be pretty easy to keep on loop! Smooth, easy-going music... it has an arcade-like feel yet not the energy you'd usually expect from VG music.Background music for some slice of life show? Sounds not spectacular,but good.

-cd-

[In Inquisitive]

Really... really ambient! It does put you in an explorative mood too. Mysterious. Calm. Contemplative... imaginative. Walking the ways of the Earth in mind as I listen; get swept into the melody... sometimes feels like the tone's a bit too clear/low/present, but at the same time it really makes it stand out from similar pieces. Interesting; exotic vibe too.

[Felix Zophar - IvoMachina (Theme) [IVOALUMINUM]]

A somewhat psychedelic-sounding loop! It starts good, but when the tracks start layering and repeating... gets a bit weird! Gets back on track at the end though. Nice work.

FelixZophar responds:

Thanks for the input!
