ADR3-N's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[<o> A|A <o> Solar]

Interesting

This is making me feel all floaty inside, frantic, yet relaxed. Nice!

[({AA}) She's Gone]

This is creeping me out.. DX

Stop getting inside my head and making me want to go to the bathroom. 0.0 Oddly, this song actually made me have to pee. It's freaky. And it made me freak out and get all sad and angry at the same time. Oh well, time for depressing Jrpg. Nice!

[(A) - (A) Guardian (Piano Sex)]

Interesting!

It sounds expressive! .. and it gets stuck in your head quickly. Hope to see more from you!

[(Piano) Improv idea]

Pretty!

Ever consider writing any of this down? It sounds quite beautiful and dynamic. :D

CheckMark responds:

I actually did write this peice down for piano. I wrote it for my music appreciation teacher composed specifically for her level. It was a page long I gave it to her as a surprise at finals (: She loved it

[(Piano) Etude no1]

Hmm

Admittedly, it's not too bad. Sure, no consistent timing, but solo music is not about timing, unless it's a march or like so. Music is meant to be fluid. This is quite jazzy. Nice work, while still sounding upbeat and maintaining an air of mystery. Perhaps you should consider investing in getting a right channel in here? Heh.

Anyway, well played. :)

[(Concerto) Membering the Tides]

Nice!

I'm not a huge fan of the synths too much, no, but the piano is very nice. :D

[(Concerto) Mess Concerto]

Messy.. but I like the odd chords

Indeed, it's cluttered, but it holds some odd kind of beauty.. I must figure this out! Nice work!

[(FL) messin]

Not bad

Sure, cheesy, but not unenjoyable. It's actually cute. The wavy sound in the back ground is kind of reminding me of chewing, so that's why I'm not giving anything over an 8/10 though. It's a teensy bit annoying with headphones. Other than that, congrats on the five minute fun there.

Again, interesting.

I find the glitchy build up in the beginning to be a big improvement from your earlier work. It seems more dynamic. I'm not a huge fan of the kick (not heavy enough for my tastes, or driving, but it suffices pretty well and doesn't sound offensive, as a plus) .. The melody you added in the piano felt out of tune with the backing at times too, but was pretty refreshing considering that it built up. Overall, it's pretty relaxing, rather than having that heart-pounding energy that most drum-n-bass has. Anyway, nice work!

KI1 responds:

Taha, I see your point about the kick. The style of DnB isn't dirty enough for any strong kicks, it sounded a bit out of place I reckoned.
The melody was done in less than five minutes, I was too lazy to improve unfortunately.
Thanks for you review :P

Interesting

Hmm, nice build in the beginning here - not much a fan of the string synths, but I know that good ones are hard to find. The break down and fresh sounds are a nice change, but it seems like something is missing for a bit until about 1:24 ish. I'd say you need some mid-range melodies to help fill the hole, rather than just the same bassline touched on. Otherwise, I'd say it's great. This is actually more dub-trance, I'd say, given that the melody is mostly the same. Good work though - big improvements here. It sounds pretty fresh!

5/5, you deserve it, especially after all these zero bombers came through.

KI1 responds:

I've looked everywhere for some decent strings and this is the closest I got >_<
I agree with the melody part. I spent weeks on the bass chords and no time on a melody at all... Silly me.
Dub-trance eh?... Sounds good to me :P
Thanks for your helpful insight as always ;)
