acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rainy Day Stroll]

i really like it! the instrumentation is very high quality and also very calmng. you really nailed evoking a mood here

[Space-Time Adventures]

here from the r4r thread

the phaser synth at the beginning is pretty cool, though i feel like the second melody that comes in after it isn't upbeat enough in comparison to the rest of the song. the beat is nice, and the progression is very pretty. i like the little percussive blipping noises in the background too, really gives it character. the flanger synth in the second half is also really cool. i do think everything could use some reverb to give the song more depth (it feels kind of empty atm). the ending chords also seem not very upbeat, and some of the melodies emphasize the minor second too much imo

overall, this is good, though it isn't without a few flaws. but that's okay, since you're just getting started. keep it up!

[Clawed Mass]

this feels like a hybrid of acid-notation and creo, great work! the distortion is gritty but also really soothing. a faster beat would have been nice, but that's just me

came here from audio advertisements

the beginning is very very calming, i love the forest sounds, though the riser at the beginning did scare me a little. great work!

[Cobalt and Vanilla]

i can see the blue grid landscapes appearing in my vision when hearing this song, great job

[NOWHERE NOW THERE]

really spooky, but also really good, i loved the echoed metronome thing and the slowed down samples

[Torn Out]

really love the distorted lead and the general glitchiness of this song! the mixing isn't too bad, though it does seem somewhat distorted. also, the song does feel a bit empty at times, perhaps you can add a pad or some sound effects. but everything else is great, and i'd love to see where you'll go!

NascentMusic responds:

Thanks so much for the comment! I'll always keep trying to improve my music with feedback like yours! :))

[H~ "Follow me to the Sky of Diamond"]

i've always loved your more electronic oriented songs, and this certainly falls under that category. it almost feels like vgm, in a very good way! the "messy" feeling feels more to me like a driving feeling as well

ssymboint responds:

Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy you liked it. :D

beautiful, i love the reverse effects

[bit]

this is very minimal with minimal mixing, but i actually kind of like it! the melodies are as catchy as they are dissonant, and that organ sound is pretty nice

Tritnew responds:

Thank you! This one was very off-the-cuff and intentionally minimal, and a way to test nice dissonant melodies. This one was super fun to do!
