sorohanro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Half Star]

Nice track, a cool combination of electronica with jazz. Very well mixed.

[A New World]

Sounds really cool, nice composition, good mixing and pretty diverse palette of feelings.
Congrats, good job on this.

[ECHO - Eyes Wide Shut]

Cool track, really nice composed.

Echo responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback! :D

[Data Empire]

Not really my cup of tea but good track. Catchy melody, cool harmonies, good mixing, all ingredients for a good track :)
Somehow, the electronics + minor feel makes me think of old band "Zodiac" (and that's a compliment).

GameBalance responds:

Thanks man!

[Fly me to Blue]

My favorite track from NGADM (at least so far). Well, this is unfair, hit me in my weak spot, jazz. This track is complex, very well composed, excellent mix of electronics with live instruments recorded, well mixed and has voice to grab everyone's attention.
Awesome track (reminds me of Zappa, Vai and King Crimson).

[In Remembrance]

Cool to see such an emotional and well written piece. It may seem a bit silent (for the NG overcompressed standard) but keeping in mind the "classical" approach, this might be considered a plus.
Also, nice to have a story/concept from start to end.

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks! I now have some decent mastering plug-ins and a bit more experience, so I can look back and see that this was a bit quiet even for classical. I don't think I did any mastering on this whatsoever come to think of it.

Thanks for the review!

[Mio/Homura]

Amazing composition, imaginative, emotional, complex but singing need some correction (especially when creating a choir where any small imperfection tends to stand out) and in some places sounds overcompressed.
Well, your mixing skills improved lately but to deliver such a good song you have to match them to your composing skills ;)

The reply to this review comes in October 2013.

Well, Sorohanro... I think you can safely call me the one who made Terre des Hommes Libres, a piece of equal magnitude to this, just MONTHS after Mio/Homura was released. I warn you not to underestimate me any longer.

[-Clutterfunk-]

This is (well, to my opinion) perfect from the technical point of view, very complex, very well mixed.
Very complex music, loved the combination of styles, the filtered delay on voice (1:48), the game-ish sounds vs funky guitar (2:27-2:35).
Loved the clarinet sound in the beginning, nice contrast.

[Omniwitch]

Awesome fusion, awesome soloing, unexpected harmony and rhythm changes. The xylophone it gives a slightly Zappa feel.
Great work, a definitive "MUST LISTEN".

[On The Dock]

Good mixing, good choice of sounds but it's a bit too repetitive for my tastes.
You can transpose the melody somewhere in the middle and then get back to the original, or change the solo instrument, or make a filter sweep.
Here, 3 ideas already :)

Jimpon responds:

Thanks a load man. If i can get my file for this song to work with sequel 3 I can make some changes to it. I got a lot more songs to upload too :p
