gOrc's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Defiance and Passion]

great

just great, I must say I fall in love with some of your melodys. I couldn't say any great bad things about the hole piece. I really like your progressions and harmonies and the way you put them together. there are also some little things that doesn't sound lovely to me but that's all very subjective. so I give you 5/5 and 9/10 because it's really good but not perfect.
Oh and please raise the vol. a bit I think that could make it sound better for many people.

pathock3 responds:

Yeah, you know, I'm young and anxious, so I feel like one of the things I need to work at the most is developing themes and getting the most out of my ideas. This piece has some cool rhythmic motives, but it's really a constant stream of new melodic ideas. But when I was writing it I had so many different ideas that kept coming to me, so every 20 seconds or so there's a new melody, unrelated to previous ideas. Anyways, yeah there's some interesting progressions and harmonies for sure! And some semi-awkward dissonance, but I like it :)

[MH16: The Big Change]

like the chracter

I like the character of the hole piece. It's calm but quite thoughtful at the same time. It fits well in the newgrounds april joke cause of the asian touch I think. I didn't expect the wierd sounding noise at 00:42. that was kind of surprising but it shows also that you're experimentating a lot which is very good!
keep it up you've many ideas and I think your own style, too.
greetings

FairSquare responds:

Asian touch? Hmmm, yeah a little bit. Didn't do that on purpose though :P
And yeah, i experimentate a lot.
Thanks for the review!

[MH16: Hopes And Dreams]

good flutes

I like how you mixed classical and sort of easy listening together. the flutes lay a very colourful melody upon the smooth cello and contrabass lines and progressions. the ending comes to suddenly it would be nice to hear a softer fading out.
you already heard that the drumkit was not fitting so well. I'd prefer some orchestral samples that sound medival like the song.

you do improve anyway, keep it up.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks for the review! :-)
I really appreciate it!

[Turning Of The Tide]

yep

one of my favs for the contest. the beginning reminds me of some dramatical films, great emotion captured here. hm I must say I don't really like the guitar, you should've kept it orchestral. but the flutes are great I love it when live instruments comes into play and the calm outro fits perfectly.
so nice work overall keep it up.

Rottenbeard responds:

Thanks for the vote of confidence g0rc :).

[[LK] Lost]

nice feeling

I can hardly understand that this has a lower score than 4.00. It's a great ambient piece. Yeah I like it a lot it fits well in the contest! The woooosh is a bit too loud for my taste. a real recording of the wind would be better I think.

Current Score

3.86 / 5.00 (+ 0.016)

LK412 responds:

=( Yea zero bombers are pretty mean. Lol

The whoosh was i dunno i made this song in pretty much 2 days so i just threw in some effects to make the song not feel empty. As for getting an actual recording il look around.

I might enter this into the contest (revamped of course)

Thanks for the 10 the score boost and the review

[Solus- Night of Longing]

just great

Tomorrow I will use this song for waking up!
Because this carries such a positive mood and happy feeling with it. I love the sax progressions...did you play that?
Ok now to the bad things. Hmm the problem is they aren't really existing. Maybe the hihat could be more quiet, but this is a detail.

Favorite + full score!

SolusLunes responds:

Nope, I didn't play the sax, that's synthesized. When I get back to where my sax is, I'm thinking of replacing it with live sax. :D

[Kw- Flying]

good job

This is a nice work here. Sadly the hole piece stops before I was catched completely, you should make it longer. I like the short string sample with the delay on it. Yeah I love such details^^ Dude this could be great, just needed two minutes more!

nightsurfermusic responds:

Yeah, i couldn't think of how to make it longer though.

[Candia]

catching

Yeah ok, I must say I love this one. It carries a heavy feeling with it. I like the slow building-up and the drum sound. It's not full score because of the wierd tone appearing at 4:23, 4:40 and 4:57. That tone kinda destroys the strong vibe of the song. if you could cut that out...^^
anyway good job!

Current Score

4.43 / 5.00 (+ 0.046)

Mabeph responds:

i know what you mean. i've had this song playing at a low level, at the opposite side of my house, and i can hear that. i'll mess around with it, see if i can make it less obtrusive.

thanks

[MH16: A New Era]

nice one

yeah I do like it. kinda had this medieval feel to it. the building up until the percussion is well done and I like that it is fading out until the end.
anyway it seemed like this is just a piece out of a longer greater song. maybe you get other cool ideas in the same tone character and could add them to it?
I'm working up to 4 days on my pieces cause it is impossible to write enough fitting melodies for a longer song on one day.

don't upload a short one because you're running out of ideas. take yourself the time and let a piece be until the next day - you'll see that sometimes this is better ;)

FairSquare responds:

Thanks for the advice!
I'm going to try to make my next song over 3 minutes, without that it gets boring.

[Funky Song With Guitar]

yeah

pretty cool and groovy tune! could use somemore changin in the seccond part maybe. yeah and next time a bit longer would be nice ;)
anyway good, keep it up.

Sytze responds:

Yeah, the second part was kind of the same as the first, I only added a synth.
I planned to make an outro, but I found it good like this.
Thanks for listening and reviewing :)
