Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Emptiness]

You definitely managed to bring that feeling across pretty well! Not entirely sad but definitely... empty. Like walking towards something but you don't know what. Doesn't matter. Headlights pass. People live their lives. The city light flash by at a high speed as you trudge on, disjointed and slow... it's got that feeling.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Yeah! The reason I linked to this, is because it's my very first NG upload :'D
While this is far from terrible, I think I've come a long way since, and Newgrounds has really helped me grow. Thank you for leaving your thoughts!

[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.

Bertn1991 responds:

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 :)

[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!

-cd-

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...

[Boots' Theme (2017)]

Such a nice and ambient tune! Easy listening.

-cd-

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you very much for listening, sir ^-^

[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.

-cd-

FelixZophar responds:

Thanks for the input!

[Spirit]

This sounds promising! :D Even with just the voice it's like you can visualize the animation,,, going to be pretty interesting to see if it matches what I had in mind when I listened to this. Great acting! Brooding music too. Sounds great.

Wondermeow responds:

Thanks mate, hopefully i can meet your expectation ^^

Kind regards,

[Nyan Catan (2018)]

This is so serene and amusing somehow... anagnstable ambience that just loops over and over and takes you away from those norms and disasters of the formal day... simple but... nice!

-cd-

Bertn1991 responds:

Well said, sir. Thank you for listening and giving your thoughts <3

[Hot mess]

Kinda running out of sync in a few places there! And the solo towards the end doesn't really match either but on it's own: that solo could've been pretty cool! Maybe start with a slower beat, to really 'live in' to the rhythm a bit? I like where this is going though.

-cd-

Bones responds:

I'll be honest, I didn't try much here. I know how the main riff goes since I wrote down the tab for it but the "solos"....I have no clue how to exactly play them since I improvised it and never wrote it down..oops??? But I'll definitely try way harder, thank you for the review!
