OneWhoListens's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Planetesimal]

Um...wow. I can't tell you how precisely this hits so many factors I like in a song -- it's full, but not overbearing; it's exciting; it repeats, but changes and progresses enough to keep you interested; it fuses a bunch of different sounds; and it makes you excited for each new note.

Thanks for making this for the world!

anthonyragus responds:

Thank you for listening!

[morning on the Prairie]

I could listen to this all day, it's so nice. In fact, I just might....

paparazziVN responds:

it's inspired of bossa nova style :). Glad u like it.

[On the road to town]

Really good! The only issue I notice (and only because I'm wearing headphones) is that the accompanying rhythmic string instrument is panned very far to the left, and it's a little uncomfortable and unbalanced, especially on headphones.

paparazziVN responds:

Thanks u, i will remember this. This song made 2 years ago, when i first created musics! Now i've learned many things!

[Fi's Lament]

I'm not a gamer so I'm not familiar with this theme, but I appreciate it nonetheless; soothing yet has a mystique.

brujeria responds:

It's from the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It is Fi, your companion's, theme. In the game her theme starts off pretty much the same way but towards the end; them feels, man. Makes you shed a tear and this song turns incredibly sad.

[Happy Quarl [LOOP]]

Very uppity; good for the mood. Loops really well, too!

Quarl responds:

Grazie!

[Bijou (2009)]

Well, I don't know why you took it down, it's quite nice. But that's your business, I suppose. Anyway, I like the supports for the melody.

Quarl responds:

I put out an album with this track on it so I removed it from newgrounds in an attempt to create false scarcity.

[Ghosts N Stuff RMX]

Excellent! It sound more like a remake, from scratch, than a remix, but I'm not complaining -- this song has a very clean sound. All that being said, it doesn't have quite the intensity of the original in a way I can't quite put my finger on, but it's still excellent and enjoyable and keep up the good work!

djahmusic responds:

Personally I dont make remixes to sound better than the original tracks, I just make my own version of them, anyway thanx :)

[Beyond the Warriors]

Delightful!

It's not exactly classical, more celtic or renaissance, but no matter what, it's still very, very nice and inspirational!

Guilfrog responds:

Yeah, well, I think 'classical' was the closest thing to it that I've found in the dropdown list tho :P

[TMFO2 - Beech and salt.]

Nice!

It's a little...loose (I'm not sure how else to describe that). But it's very nice, and reminiscent of a lot of other emotional piano pieces, which in this case is nice. Overall, it flows very well, and does indeed bring to mind those things you mentioned in the comments. Job well done!

Calamaistr responds:

Perhaps ill rerender it over night with a few minor volume adjustments in the first part, i personally am of opinion the piano is a little to loud on a few notes.

With 'loose, do you mean that it doesnt always take the most conventional notes but here and there has some (intentional) borderline piano falsa? That goes with my style. :) I like the magnetism when it pulls right again, and theres mixed feelings ofcourse that influence wich notes i pick.

Thanks for your high score and your review :)

[Last Chance *SZX*]

Interesting.

It's not really my style, so I'm having a little trouble feeling the music, but there's definitely skill here, and nuance.
Is this from a specific video game, or is it a personal creation?

Som3oneZX responds:

Personal creation. While making this I was thinking "What would fit a dramatic moment in a game?" This was the result.
