Troisnyx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Memories]

Sad, and creepy if I do say so myself. I can imagine this perfectly in a tragic villain's flashbacks. My only pet peeve is that the celesta sometimes gets drowned by the strings. Otherwise, it's simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing this! ^_^

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for review. I guess I'm a bit creepy and sad in my mind/heart.

[Full Circle]

I got Final Fantasy X vibes with the intro, then the synths came in and gave me a Final Fantasy X-2 vibe. That's not a bad thing: if there's one thing I love about X-2, it's the music. :D

Your dynamics in this piece are excellent, and then when you get quieter around 2:24, it gives you a vibe as though you are inside the body of Sin (another Final Fantasy X reminder). Very, very atmospheric, and very heartfelt.

OpenLight responds:

Thank you! I really value your reviews.

[Five Renaissance Tunes]

Considering that I've gotta be acquainted to some degree with Palestrina, Thomas Tallis and chant in general, I appreciate these things. :D

Why not try joining them together to make one full piece? I know that these are studies, but one could do with a full-blown contrapuntal piece when there are very few of them around.

descara responds:

I thought about joining them together, but I figured since I'm supposed to do a Kyrie Eleison sooner or later I'll wait until then with making a whole piece in the style of Palestrina. Plus, I was lazy :P

[A Newgrounds Legacy]

When you said this is your best piece yet, I had to take a listen. <3 The intro caught me very much, and the piano arpeggios made me get lost in the piece. The key changes were sudden, but not too sudden as to catch me off guard.

The entire piece is atmospheric, and 1:40 (around that) sounds like a heroic ascent.

The section from 1:50 to 2:18 doesn't sit too well, but the buildup after that explains that section even better.

I favourited this piece before I could give a review. Thanks so much for sharing it with me. x

Bosa responds:

You're welcome, and thank you for the review!

[Light the Candles]

Finally, someone giving respect to Christmas carols. Kudos to you for the wonderful piece.

[Slow and Safe]

This, right off the bat, sounds like action game title screen music or something along those lines. I am liking what I hear very much. My only pet peeve is that some things don't come on the beat or almost on the beat (especially before 1:00).

I really love the pads around 1:24, and the general feel of the music there.

The off-beat strings come back at 1:36... then when the drums fade away, it sounds like it's on time. I'm not sure whether it's got to do with the way the synths work (the delay that is already in them.)

At any rate, great job.

eatmeatleet responds:

Thanks for review.

In general it sounded really good when I put it together so I decided not to change it up a lot.

It may or may not have some delay mistakes. I am sure I timed it together right. It might just be delay and attack creating such an effect.

Thanks for notes, ill look into those things more next time

[Jazzy thing]

Morning Coffee? or Coffee Break? For some reason, this song makes me think about someone putting his legs up on an office table and sipping a good coffee. :D

BlazingDragon responds:

You're not the first one to mention coffee in regard to this song. Maybe I should write music for coffee shops? Haha.

Thank you for the review!

[Self-aware Mechanisms]

Ambient, and very unlike a lot of hip-hop tracks. Unsettling, if I do say so myself. I'm not familiar enough with the genre to give the best reviews on this piece, but parts of it do sound like Portal material, because of the dissonance.

[Urtyn Duu]

Considering I did follow some Mongolian music videos over on YT, you've replicated it pretty well. I'm not sure about the dissonance and the awkward change of keys sometimes, but the part around 2:52 just spoke to me.

Otherwise, the instrumentation is beautiful. <3 All the best for the RAC!

JJM121 responds:

Thanks, Trois! The dissonance was a slight problem when making the song but then again it does give a feeling it's being performed by a real-life orchestra. The key changes...I'll need to learn more I guess. ^^

[-*}CaSH{*- Crépuscule]

J'aime bien le fait que l'intro est une version tordue d'Au Clair de la Lune :3

Otherwise, having grown up hearing this style regularly played (in classes and in rooms next to me), it actually brings back childhood memories hearing those harmonies again. <3

Bonne chance avec le RAC ! I especially liked this piece. x

camoshark responds:

Merci beaucoup, content que tu ai aimé!
