fa771n9's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Autumn Night]

Very, very nice! Melancholic and touching, perfect for a rainy day. Or night. You know... whatever. I like the composition as a whole, and it inspired me to do a voice acting work using a french accent. It's called "La Baguette", here on Newgrounds, and I used your track in the background. I hope you don't mind! Keep up the good work, truly, and hopefully many others will recognize your blatant talent. Bravo!

[Halindir - Vanaheimr]

This is some great stuff! Even though it is a bit repetitive, that's not a real matter tbh. The audio is crisp, the tone is set just right, and I can imagine telling old stories by a camp fire to any adventurer who stays a while and listens. In fact... I have done just that, by using your track as background music. Title is "Fargren the Bold", right here on Newgrounds. I credit your work of course, so I hope you don't mind, and the fact that it inspired me to do that little voice acting piece should make you proud of what you've accomplished, I know if I were someone you cared about I'd tell you how proud I am of you (so I think at least a thank you is in order). Anywho, keep up the amazing work. Congrats on this piece!

[A Walk Down The Trail]

Great song Reasoner! I've liked some of your other titles, and this one is no exception! Very motivating, yet soothing at the same time. I took the liberty of using it as a back track for some voice acting I did, posting it here on Newgrounds. I hope you don't mind, this song really fitted the part and as I said, it's a great little melody. Very uplifting! Congrats!

[HW - But Now You Say]

Fix the piano

Great stuff, but the piano is way off. In the beginning part, the piano chords are too choppy, and sounds kind of amateur (01:07 - 0:130). Then in the calm part, the piano doesn't have any rhythm compared with the rest of the song, and it's in another tempo, which doesn't sound too hot either (01:30 - 03:14). I know it's supposed to be some sort of freeform, but even then it should follow the beat established. THen it goes back to the choppy chords. I would recommend including a more prominent repeater or fader sound to merge the chords together. I know the piano can be better, and then the song will truly be what I consider it already... amazing!

[Reasoner- Living Transparent]

A-B-A-B-A

First of all, let me start by simply saying how wonderful this piece of work is. It is really rare to find something with so much feeling in it expressed through piano keys, and I can see why it must torment you to not be able to expand on this, give it what it deserves. There is very little I would do to it to expand, let alone change/correct, but you ask for help, so I hope my opinion will do just that. It's a simple melody of sorts, I picked up this song structure (the title of my review). Nonetheless, each part has a different feel, and subtle and strong variations that all flow quite naturally. I have no time (until perhaps Summer vacation) to take this masterpiece and "work" on it... but I somehow feel like the message you are trying to send through the piano would be better conveyed, better felt, if it became orchestral. A solo beginning on the piano, until the "B" section, 00:35 to be exact, where a violin(s) harmony starts off slowly (though I don't know too well how right now), reaching full volume (not loud as to cover the piano) at 1:05. another idea would be to start them off directly at 1:05. Then at 1:35, a kettle drum roll with a ride cymbal crash using a mallet to start off the second "A" section with more carrying violins, and the introduction of a brass section, to really accentuate and give an overpowering feel to the song. The harmonies continue until 3:06, where they quickly die away to leave for the piano ending, surely meant to be single and sweet. It's hard for me to recommend this, having no clue what it would be, but an extra "C" section could be added, to add variety and length, because for some reason I feel something is missing... Just can't imagine how it would be, or how to fit it in. Again, I'm uber busy and don't have any proper software to simulate what I've just described, but this is wonderful overall. If there was but one thing I would change, it would be in the first "B" section, where, for example, at 0:38 and 0:42, the cange between chords seems slightly choppy. I can see you mean to alternate between stronger and more attenuated parts (I hope), but it's too noticeable, and it tends to ruin the perfect flow of the A sections before and after. I'm not a professional musician, just a music afficionado, but I hope this review might help in some way to find what you are seraching for, even if it inspires something completely different. I envy your creative genius, something I lack, but trust me when I say I know a good piece of music when I see one. Keep up the good work! 10.

PS. On a completely different notice, this song somehow reminds me of the songs in "The Sims" build mode (which I love, so please take it as a compliment) LOL!

[Imitati0n]

Great!

I would wish to hear it finished, but what you got is amazing! The song is No Act y Forseco, though I accidentally worte it was variation by dj turtle on the link you put up, hehe. Either way, love the original, and yours too, Keep it up!!9.

[Khuskan - Atomic]

Truly a PSA...

This is just a public service announcement, and until 2:00 minutes in, all I hear is a remix of an annoying voice that covers the great beat behind... and then it comes back at 2:20. Arrghh!! Shame..., liked the ending though! 7.
