Kelpalots's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Whimsical Funk]

I love that you mention that it's a work in progress, because now I know you know what's wrong with it. I certainly would love to hear more out of the piano melody, and make it less harsh of a transitioned sound. I just love to add ambient to my stuff. 4.5 stars for having something nice to listen to.

Bradley-Pittman responds:

I just made this today, so I'm sure going back to it with some fresh ears after a day or two away from it will do a lot of good. Thanks for the kind words and critique : )

[Old School Funk Hop]

I'm beginning to see a break down with funky low sub bass. I want to hear more, even though the looped track is wonderful and pleasing to the ears. I feel so happy, and rare as it is to have happy music, I feel DRIVEN. I feel inspired. Passionate and compassionate. It's a wonderful day. A new outlook on life, I've come forth to blaze. From the haze to the medicinal phase, I chase my wildest dreams. It seems I MUST carry on, for I love this song.

Bradley-Pittman responds:

Wow thanks so much. I haven't messed with this track in a while, but you've got me excited about it again. I made this a while back, and couldn't for the life of me figure out where to go with it. Though I would periodically open it up and groove to it for a couple minutes. It's like, every time I tried to extend it and rearrange the parts or add new ones, it just didn't have the same *feel*

Anyways, I'll work on it ; )

[Junction]

This loop could be played for hours on end! I love it's awesome simplicity. Old or not, I want to hear it extended. It would be sooooo cooooooool! GET INTO THE MODE! I WANNA HEAR MORE!

Thanks for sharing <3,

Digiguy responds:

I'm glad you enjoy it! I'm not sure if I even have the original files for this track now. I'll look into this style more in the future for you.

[Uprising]

Oh I love all these bassy sounds. It drives me. I love all the sounds you added in with it. It's very cool. Very cinematic! TOTALLY INDSUTRIAL!!!

Digiguy responds:

Thank you. Definitely wanted a heavy sound with this track.

[Darkness Particles]

It starts off a little dry, like a good book with a dry chapter or two. Then you really get into gear, and play what I like - instrumentals with other mixings of genres. I love that e-pianoish sound, it almost sounds like a recording.

You've really got the evolving melodies down. It is awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

Dubwolfer responds:

Thank you!

I was just messing around earlier and actually began this song from more around the middle area so I had to work backwards and because of that I made my intro kinda shitty lol. That's no excuse though x3

Thanks for listening, feedback means a lot!

[Floor 8]

I felt so sad listening to this. It felt like a good bye. The vocals were hard to make out, but sounded eerie and dominant. It made you want to believe that if you submitted to the voice in the track, it would bring about the trip you were asking for! But also made you feel hesitant as his demeanor was something else!

Construction:
Not a single note was off key, not a single beat was missed. It was very hypnotic and on par with the ambient genre. Very sad, and I just now looked at the tags.

neBSounds responds:

Thanks! glad you liked it

[Timelapse (Piano)]

I hear all the softer and louder parts, but only on my ATH-M50S. It does sound muddy, I'll give one reviewer that. But I think with the way you wanted your piano to sound, you made it ambient and it just sounds like you took a cutoff frequency control and turned it a little ways down.

I can say all the notes are in the right place, some rhythm issues with the melody is off. But I'm sure another listen will fix that. At the time. I think there is some messy notes at 4:26-4:40 or it may be the key is off tune. I'm real quick about picking up on a piano that has a TINY ITTY BITTY WITSY BIT of tuning issues.

Wow, 8:55. This is just too much like a classical movement. I love it. I just wish you could put more emotion into your notations [notes]. But then I get bursts of climax which makes it sound really nice.

There are some parts I'd love to see softer too. Then it can become a really AWESOME classical movement. Here we go, climax. Tons of them! Great!

My favourite part is probably the ending parts, about 1-2 mins from the end. It's well put together. Or it's just my taste. :P

pftq responds:

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed this. I guess I gave up on this piece too quickly. Will try not to let that be a habit.

[[OPT]--FRIGO]

I could see your joy in your production, simply because you kept playing with the sounds you like to hear, and it sounded like a kid playing on the electronic piano with all the noises you get if you press on all the keys on the electronic piano.

Soon I'm off to space with this track, and then it stops. I wish there was more, and the dead silence leaves me breathless with how my trip ended.

Thanks for sharing.

optimize responds:

That comment was really touchy thankyou

[Angst Clinic - Chillomax]

I don't care right now if this was entirely super repetitive or not. I just enjoyed it. I love the bass, the percussion, and the melodies. I love it all!

I'd however suggest some switch ups of some of your "chorus" verses of the track. I can imagine using some music theory techniques to change up the notes to the melody. If you really want to get good at switching things up. You could use a note that is cohesive with the note it originally was. Such as A would match up with C and E. Or mix minors and majors.

However, after all is done, and listened to, I find this track to be really neat! I just can't get over that melody with the harpsichord sound. I really dig it!

AngstClinic responds:

Thank you, good sir! I was going to do more with the melody, but I went with a more minimalistic approach, I wanted to make the listener feel like chilling, and part of chilling for me is stability. I like to be aware and I like to know my surroundings, and this song is more of an OCD chill for me :D I agree though, I do like working with switching up the melody, so I will be putting more of it in my works! Thank you for the comment and advice!

[Black Cat]

Every time I listen to it, I feel like I'm at a bar, or doing work, and I'm just feeling the flow of the music so much that I literally feel almost left in the wake of realization I'm not even listening to the track anymore.

This is what music should be like.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Coffeehouse Jazz is the best kind. :)

Thanks for the review Kelpie!
