Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sea of Our Own]

I liked this one. It's nice and ambient at the start, has a few shifts, goes into a few different types of music.

There's a tribal tone to it too. Exotic. It feels like you're sailing or journeying somewhere, and it's just really relaxing and soothing. I don't feel like it goes the way you expect it to go either. It jumps a bit and keeps you entertained all the way through, and though it end suddenly... it feels just right too. Not bad!

JamesHeart responds:

I Wish i though about the ending a bit more to be honest. these kind of just serve as me staying active in my craft, trying new ideas and testing music.
I do this to see the reaction of these different ideas, to see how they are persevered and the feedback it greatly appreciated

Thank you
I'm glad you like it

[Cat Plays Piano]

That's a pretty talented cat! XD

I like the vibe here, very uplifting, and the tone of the audio's so light and bright too.

There was a phase there when it was just doing the same thing I was almost starting to get a bit annoyed with it, but it jumps a bit, and towards the end when the piano really starts rolling: it's really great. Love the energy.

[Episode 37 - Flash Revolution 2020 (w/ Cyberdevil)]

Seems like this turned out pretty good after all. :) I totally missed the 'how I came up with Inktober for audio' question though, basically: I really want to focus more on audio, and felt like this could be the perfect springboard into more of that. Thorough one-month warm-up/practice session, written by hand as to fulfill the ink-based requirements. But then again people are doing digital art for the real thing too so what's really real anymore?!

Thanks again for having me! Twas quite the experience.

[Murder on Ivory Road]

Beautiful. Considering the spooky thing I was expecting some kind of foreboding setting, some brooding, some jumpscare, something... but this was refreshingly classy and clean. Yet I'd probably be pretty unnerved if this played in an empty house, shadows playing in the windows, an empty chandelier shining brightly through the haze... makes for an almost magical kind of setting, yet a spooky ambience all the same.

MajorMusic responds:

Thank you very much!

[Malady]

Very gritty! Love this. Somewhat reminds me of some oldskool NG music too, not sure from where... a menu selection? Pico's School...? Sounds somewhat iconic.

S3C responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, I can see that...

[The Story So Far (Gronmon/S3C)]

This was pretty dope! Mind if I record something on this real quick? Would GronmonSE mind (hey is that another Swede I see)? I love the vibe.

-cd-

S3C responds:

Go for it! No, he won't mind. Haven't spoken to him in about a decade though. GronmonSE is from Nicaragua.

[Newgrounds Rocks!]

Quite unexpected shifts in this one. XD Thought I might try writing to it but hmm, the way it shifts a bit in there... love the energy though.

-cd-

S3C responds:

lyrics to this song is like trying to mix chocolate and mint with water. It's been done before, and it's not the worst thing ever...but it will just lead to existential dread, instead of providing revitalizing refreshment. Could the chocolate been used to woe a Valentine's crush? Could the mint have served as a sour stomach soother or mask halitosis? Could the H2O quench the thirst of 5000 starving Africans? We will never know, because some perverted, bored, privileged @sshole decided to make chocolate mint water

[The Grand Arirang - Jessie Yun]

Wow. Does feel like the choir's a bit distant, but my untrained musical ear wouldn't have picked up on any lost potential there if the comments below didn't mention it. Maybe different if it was in a language I understand. This was powerful!!! Really cool. Ten hours seems like a long time but assumably short for something like this.

Also inspiring to listen in on some orchestral music with a real message to it. Most of that which you stumble upon seems to made for general use.

JessieYun responds:

Hey Cyberdevil, thank you very much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, there's a lot of flaws there actually, since this was only made in 10 hours (normally it takes about 2-3 days to finish for me). Glad you feel inspiring as well!

[Dedicated To The Homies Reading This]

So chill, so soothing, maybe not the most memorable or most moving but still... wholesome somehow. I imagine this could be the soundtrack to: thoughts running through your head at night. Can't sleep. Just thinking, mind chipping away, drifting away...

Would've been cool if it faded out in a way that resembled sleep.

-cd-

[Evil Intent]

I love the Terminator vibe in this thing! That steady synth, that little melody thing that reminds me of the movies... it's short but to the point. Brooding and mysterious.

Would love to see this in some kind of game!
