MaestroSorrow's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[the found piper]

A well known path.

As mentioned before, this VST did not seem to work that well, yet I when I listen to the guitar itself with the distortion, I hear the melody clearly, and like the Lost Piper, it tells a subtle story, as if rays of light filter in through the canopy of trees as he finds his way out.

The sun shines once more for this person.

An idea that could work for a "found" moment, is once again the flute, and the french horns/trombones. Kind of like a bold step forward towards the direction they know will be right.

Thats my 2 cents rioross, 4/5 from me, keep them coming.

rioross responds:

thanks for this review, its the best out of any ive had before.
and i will keep them coming!

[the lost piper]

neat

oh man, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear this, is adding either a high octaved flute, or solo violin. Those instruments would add to the whole "adventure" sense, or lost, depending on the melody you incorporate.

Good guitar work, but the song right now is pretty basic.

4/5 from me rioross, keep them coming.

rioross responds:

basic yes, but i myself like it.
indeed a flute or violin would be niceto to add.
and dont worry, they will keep coming!

[~|Far Away|~]

Has the potential

The song has intense potential, but you need to rework those string chords. It's clashing quite heavily with each other.

Make sure there is no dissonance (as in, no notes should be played one note above or below each other).

Otherwise, it suits the role well.

4/5 from me kylebrandon, keep them coming, soon enough you'll be making really good stuff.

kylebrandon responds:

Heh, thanks man!
Can you believe I made this just with my mouse!?
Soon im gonna get a MIDI cable so I can plug up a keyboard to really get things sounding good.
The reason this doesn't sound complete is because it crashed and this was all I had left. But I still found it reasonably good so I submitted it up here.
Thanks for the review MaestroSorrow! It means alot!

[Little Piano Improvisation]

Awesome!

nice, flows very smoothly. You have great skill!

5/5 from me.

jackie1188 responds:

Thank you :-)

[HappyHappy]

So happy!

XD

I had this image of a young kid walking (you know, in the way where they kick their legs up), over a hill, fishing rod hung over shoulder, the sun shining, clouds hanging lazily over the air.

Brilliant... truly a happy tune.

The chosen instruments worked well together.

I have nothing to add to this song ^^.

5/5 from me DaVince, excellent stuff, keep them coming.

DaVince responds:

Why, thanks! I made a few tunes a bit similar to this, so I will upload those later too. :)

[No escape v.01]

What the HELL!?

gave me goosebumps listening to it.

Freaky as hell...

5/5 from me Despoilah... very nice.

Despoilah responds:

Heh thank you mate, check the web for more music man.
If you have Slsk then I can let you hear alot more.

[Guitar n' Piano]

Chillaxed

so laid back, so damn relaxing.

I would think this would belong in Indie.

I have nothing to add to this song, I can just sit on my porch, and swing on my hammock for hours on end with this song.

Excellent, well played.

4/5 from me Nero_SteveO because it was so short ^^. Keep them coming.

Nero-SteveO responds:

If you want I can submit it longer!
Just send a PM.

[Creepingly]

Well done indeed

Hey MusicalRocky.

That nice piano intro was quite fascinating.

So eerie.

The strings that come in shortly after, is what immediatly sets the mood. A very dark, a very corrupt being sneering down at those who would oppose it.

Great melody work. I really like how you made the violin work its little heart out.

Love the Spiccato strings you present in this piece, so subtle, so vivid, and it opens its doors to a rather noble kind of voice, not that creepy, and this is what makes the piece rather welcoming to my ears. It is creepy, yet it is epic, a dark lord basking in his court kind of thing.

The song also loops wonderfully.

Easily a 5/5 from me MusicalRocky, keep them coming man.

MusicalRocky responds:

You and your awesome reviews, Maestro. It took me a bit to come up with that piano intro, surprisingly, but luckily D minor is easy to improv in. Eerie was my goal. I love those cellos that come in :)

Yeah, I spent a lotta time on the melodies. There were quite a few in there.

Oh, those pizzicato strings. Maybe that's what you're thinking of...? Anyway, that was a very fun part to write indeed. I like the imagery you have..."a dark lord basking in his court." Never thought of it that way.

Looping wasn't my intention, but it worked out!

Thanks, Maestro. Great review.

[School]

Neat

Has a good deal of potential. Still seems quite random, but this is understanble, it IS improv.

For sure though, for your next pieces, do place more thought into them, i'd like to see what your capable of ^^.

I will give you a 5 because I don't believe this should rank so low, but in real life i'd give you high 3's.

Keep them coming.

Cougar-With-AIDS responds:

Thank you, I will put more thought into my next pieces. It did sound better before I converted it into mp3, but thanks for the score.

[Red7 - The Way She Moves]

Very high Quality

I realy like this song, because it moves so well, so smoothly. It kinda reminds me of Advanced training in the chopped up synths.

This song however has a pretty good melody. This whole song makes me think of a great club/dance scene, and a person just watches a girl dance her heart out. When it gets quiter, its as if he see's in slow motion.

"She can't be real..."

I can't really think of anything to add to this song RedSe7en, you know I love all your work, tottaly cool ^^.

5/5 from me, keep em coming man.

Redse7en responds:

Thankyou! Im glad to see you back telling me all the crazy things you imagine my music could be used for. No need to explain my music too well when your around cause you figure out my style so easily. I did like the gated effects on both those songs but I think in the future Ill do less of them unless asked to. Glad you enjoyed!
