sorohanro's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Caravan]

jazzy

caravan is quite a tricky standard with all those changes from swing to latin, great arrangement and quite good performance
i would like a better recording of that but ...
well, nice thing to hear a school band playing quite complicated things

[Festive Overture, Op. 96]

school band

for a school band that is quite good
i always like live performances, those are more "lively" than computer made music
congratulations to players and to the music teacher there

(as much as i respect Winterwind and i like his music i must not agree, a school band is not a professional simphony orchestra)

[Guitar Challenge...Thingy]

melodic

nice and melodic, probably the most melodic solo from the "challenge", actually building up a theme and going with the (weird) harmony i made and getting somewhere
added to fav's already

[Guitar Challenge - June Matrix]

different

a totally different aproach on it, loved it, the electronic sound changed the mood completely, also the line of the ... the ... weird sound (is it synth wah or a weird filter ?) gave a funky/jazzy feel somehow

TomBanks responds:

I'm not exactly sure which part you're talking about. On the cleanish part I used a Crybaby wah pedal, and the part after that is me wanging the mess out of the tremolo bar on my guitar. I used a really cool fuzz box called the Z Vex Fuzz Factory, along with reverb and phaser effects in FL Studio, and the vocoder in FL Studio. Thanks for reviewing my submission man!

[Extravaganza]

nice

nice guitar, from the latin feel chords to the bluesy solo
i don't know if this count as jazz (maybe too rock in some parts) but is a good tune
congratulations

[Oleo by Jazz Republic]

very good

listened many times, every time i discover something new ...
5-d it several times, now, when i see that after so much time have just one review took the time to write one myself also ...
i'm a fan of jazz and i can say, this is the best "Oleo" version here on NG (and i have one myself here) and probably is the only band fitting to jazz section ...
great performance, good sound also, a lot of energy, played very lively, showing knowledge of theory, styles and a lot of talent
great job here
congratulations

[appena un banjo e un baritono]

nice

congrats for front page
everything sounds good, somehow you come lately with very catchy themes
10/10 5/5 and added to fav's

spamwangler responds:

the band im in is on hiatus(main member on sailing holiday) so ive got more time on my ands to record at home:)

[Guitar Challenge - Bass]

wicked

that was unexpected :))
Sialys had a great ideea to put you to work this way
great "finger action" man, you can shred that bass ...

CyriltheWolf responds:

WOops , forgot to respond. Thanks!

[oh god no not a boogie]

oh god, no ... no spam

:))
very nice, good energy, also better quality on recording, very "catchy" theme
i like very much the modulation in the middle part
so, this is spam ... spamwangler ;)

spamwangler responds:

yo mr sorohanro, how goes it? you have been doing some
real nice guitar stuff of late, you should do a lead guitar/trumpet duet!

cheers for the review:) i really should check your stuff out more often

[Sorohan/Noir - Arpegio study 1]

apreciate

nice, i like the most from 0:53
that part change the feeling of the tune very much and i find flattering that one of my favourite artists here on NG did that
so, congratulations and thanx ;)

No1r responds:

Thanks to you for this great backing track :)
