nightvision's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[§Arbiter§ - Dark Winds]

Another impressive piece

The introduction again was very well done, the string samples you use are perfectly appropriate for this march-style music. In all honestly, I found that the triangle solo minorly clashes with the battlefield emotion that was built-up during the introduction. Independant of the rest of the song it sounded nice, but when I listen for diversity in a song I still like to hear a small amount of consistency with supporting melodies. Still excellently done, I know that if you kep this up you will sit with the classical great's on the audio chain. Great Work Arbiter,

[§Arbiter§ - Arise of Loth]

Excellent quality worksmenship

Though I don't have a lengthy review like the other's have generously given, I do say that this piece has alot of potential. First impression reminded me of a Milkman_Dan piece, I especially liked the beginning tremelo strings. It added to what was already a very solid beginning.

This piece should be used to a flash animation, it has several strong points for an action game [Half-Life style] introduction.

I would tend to agree that the cowbell could have been changed, but you ARE the artist of this song, and this left a fabulous impression on me. Great work, 5/5

Arbiter responds:

Length isn't all my friend, the quality of that amount of text is also.
I thank you for all comments, and I do agree when looking back, it's actually an anvil, and I don't like it in the first half, but it fits in the military half. Once again, thanks.

[-Orr-Nocturne in C# Minor]

Passionate, and Heart Touching

This is a wonderful piece David, i'm sure you realize that. This song intimatly connects with the person listening to it, I personally felt alot of diverse range of emotions through the beatiful job you did of articulating your notes. This piece was a song of your heart, a tale deep down that reflects who you are. I believe you are expressing personal reflection on a tragedy, reminiscing on a past experience that shook your world. The cold notes that you create , later turn to a warm comforting wind that explains and justifies the situation in your soul. This is then the music is temporarily joyful, and it is only then that you realize the entire gravity of the situation. I don't think this song ends with a conclusion, but rather an impact of opression on your life.

This is my brief interpretation of your thoughts, because not all thoughts are explainable to pen and pad. Your communication seemed clear and precise. I absolutely loved this piece DavidOrr, and I obviously 5/5 the score and downloaded.

DavidOrr responds:

Wow nightvision, you're very well spoken! Infact, I believe you explained the feelings that I was intending to evoke in listener better than I could have. It's great to get a review from a great artist such as yourself!

Thanks for all of your support, it means a lot!

[Flight of th pheonix (re-done)]

Nice melody

Hello darkkloud, I had already written somewhat of a review in the forum, so i've decided to immortallize it here instead:

Darkcloud, you obviously have skill. But dont "compress" it nearly as much, and turn down the gain. That way we'll be able to hear the music you make, without all of the thumpin'. I bet it's good music, but my headphones refuse to tell me.

If I can make a difference for you, then i'm the one happy.

darkkloud responds:

heh, its good to see that you decided to put this into a real review, and thanks alot men.

[Grey Sky Of Silver Moon]

This song sounds fair.

The beginning rythms are initially confusing each other. You might want to straighten them out a bit. I agree that the static is more of an initial distraction rather than a device to add diversity. The Vocoder effects were very great, good job in that respect. This might do well in the miscellaneous genre, not in techno. Good effort, but I would recommend focusing on diversifying melodies instead of abstract rythms.

UnrealClock responds:

I did not know where to submit a Glitch entry, so well yeah.

[J Marsh - That High Up]

Unbelievable

Wow, when I listened to this song the weirdest thing happened. Have you ever listened to a song and sung your "own bass line" to substitute what you wished the song would use? Well as the bass the was very quiet I sung the very exact bass line that existed (One of my 'passion' bass lines). Very weird coincidence, I didn't think it would ever happen. You communicated exactly what I try to communicate in my own music. I could ramble on forever about how exciting this was, but all I need to say is this emotionally inspired me a great amount. 5/5 and download.

Doc-Marsh responds:

Thanks for the words. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, I guess the bass is a little light. I'll have to remember to tweak my next ones a little more. I actually turned the bass down cause it was shaking my house...guess I overcompensated. hehe.

[J Marsh - New Daze]

Great tune, very well mixed

I think it's a great choice that you decided to showcase yourcase your music on Newgrounds. I really like your style, I feel the passion you put into this song. I love the bass line you chose for the melody, I tend to use the same kind of bass variation as you seem to like in this song. Keep posting your work, it's great to hear a similar thinker ( I know thats what I was excited to hear when I had been new to Newgrounds). Enjoy your stay here, and post in the forums. You will find there are other friendly musicians here,

Doc-Marsh responds:

Thank you very much for the encouragement and the ratings. I intend to make a few shorter tunes that'll be exclusive here. It seems like a fun community to share some music with.

[Crying]

I can feel it, amazing!

Excellent job of communication once again, I felt your "tears". The very last part of the song was a great climax from the initial development in the beginning of this piece. I'm not kidding when I say this song alsmost brought a tear to my eye.

[Newscast Anthem]

Apparently newscasts are very serious

Hahaha Dan. Knowing you, you want to pack as much emotion in as possible. Let me remind you its a NEWSCAST. Is this the one you made for Mrs. Airth's comm tech class? I should send you the one I made. Whatevs man, great job as usual.

[Heart Grenade]

Stop it

Sounded like you got lucky with the first six notes and then continued to just punch random keys. Don't post anymore garbage in hopes of slighlt recognition, you're only going to get what your looking for if some guy with no musical taste whatsoever gives you a lucky review of "nice".

Dawei responds:

If you knew how much work it takes to make this, you would be respected on ng. It's called the dumming down of america and it's a shame people like your work, you put no effort into your songs, and if you ever want to become a professional, check the Boston Garden which my band (Deep In Sin) has been invited to, and as the my bands letter the mail said,"Deep In Sin has been invited to the Boston Garden because of our humor on stage yet staying mature about the music and having the teen spirit that it takes to work on stage and be filled up with energy when you take the worst of insults about your music." The letter also says, "Your lyrics are so deep it will say within the core of the world forever." The letter said after that, "Another reason we have chosen Deep In Sin over all the other bands we have heard is because we beleive that you have the power to bring the whole music industry back from the current trashy hole it is in." And then, "The great sounds of rock have been buried ever since after the movement of Grunge. Deep In Sin is so strong it has dug up the sound and lyrics with your powerful sounds and words true musicians need. Your hits like like your self titled song 'Deep In Sin', and 'The Death of Rap' have brought music back to it's early roots of the Sixties with such bands like 'The Doors'", and I took that as a compliment because The Doors are one of my favorite bands, and the last line, "As you said in your song 'Train Going Down' 'It can't rain, All the time, Traid a guitar, For a rhyme, Poor old train, Went down slow, I guess you gotta, Let the river flow,'. Ever since we heard those words, we were meserized with the truth of rock flowing back to the world's hands. We hope your record deal at Warner Bros. Records goes well, and we can't wait to see you in two weeks here at The Boston Garden."

-Your Truly,
The Boston Garden."

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
