sorohanro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[EPIPHANY!]

As composition 10/10

It's a good composition, very interesting and clever constructed.
As sound... well, here lack a lot. A good mix and usage of better VSTi would put a better light on this piece.

Well, let's hope that soon we'll hear a good live recording with a good percussion ensemble.

Clever Dissonances

I like the way you constructed the tension by very clever usage of dissonances.
Also mixing is very nice, all small details are clear and distinct in the mix.
Congrats.
10/10 5/5

Calamaistr responds:

Im very glad the mix worked out, i worked on this track twice, wanted to get things right.

Oh and some fun extra info: The final piano piece that plays, is actually a piece i composed on piano a few years ago, i can and still play it pretty often so it wasnt hard to recreate. ;)

I feel a little proud with so many 10s, especially from you sorohanro seeing as you're a very able musician. :) Thanks!.

Amazingly descriptive

You have instant images in front of your eyes.
Amazingly nice track. Very nice touch of that glockenspiel melody.
10/10 5/5 4.43 / 5.00 (+ 0.042) faved

acmeDyne responds:

It's an honor to be faved by one of the very best musicians on Newgrounds!
I have an addiction to the glockenspiel.
Thanks sorohanro.

Glass

Somehow very Philip Glass (reminds me of Powaqqatsi) in a good way, probably my favorite from your "orchestral" tracks.
10/10 5/5
2.15 / 5.00 (+ 0.61)

Calamaistr responds:

really? thanks alot man :) !
Its a very solid, compact piece meant to settle the personification of the 'Eden' side in the storyline. (as in the melody)

Thanks for the score bump too hehe. Will look at your recent work soon, still a bit into gaming atm though.

[Glass Passage]

:))

As much as I hate the statement (I did not use any samples) I should really say that this is a very nice composition.
Unexpectedly nice, reminding me of Philip Glass - "Glassworks". Looping for at least three times in my headphones.

On a side note, I like the fact that you write music "old skool style" but you do use samples. The sounds played by your notation program are samples, sampled note by note on different dynamic layers for more realism, still... samples.
So you are using samples.

Cheers and hope you'll make more interesting music.
5/5 10/10 faved.

[TX - The Zephyr Song]

WOW

Never thought that RHCP can be made a capella.
Good job on this one.
The sound engineer in me wants a autotune every here and there, but the "naturalist" in me screams "PERFECT !!! just PERFECT"

TonalEcstasy responds:

RHCP makes great a cappella!! We did Under the Bridge too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCaN7-

Thanks for the reviews, it's much appreciated!

[TX - Strong Enough]

Love it

Nice cover.
Hope soon will have a better score... f%*i#g 0-bombers >:(

[TX - Bad Mama Jama]

Nice

Never thought to hear this kind of stuff on NG.
First, a classic of R&B/Funk, second, an a cappella rendition of it, third AVERY GOOD ONE !
Congrats for that.
Welcome to my fav list :)

[cause it´s abnormal]

recorded from radio ?

The track really sound like is recorded from a radio with some cheap microphone.
Actually, out of curiosity, I listened several of your songs and all have same problem. Generally mix and instruments sounds good but there is a hiss and a distortion all over. To me it sounds like it was recorded from radio on a cheap cassette or with a bad microphone.

I very much doubt that someone who compose and play such complex songs would end up with such bad recording in the final stage. All I can think of is that this music is not yours.

Crazy Rig

What a mess... Crazy Rig... Now go in the corner and reflect on what you did.
:)))

Rig responds:

Like I said...it was an adventure. :D
