endKmusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Hero's Journey]

Great storytelling indeed. :D
Agree with all the reviews.
Love that sweet speed up transition to 'No Rest for the Weary'.
At that point you know it's not stopping until something happens. And it did.
Final Battle - my favorite part (obviously, duh).
Nicely wrapped up and composed.

ChronoNomad responds:

So happy to hear that the tale is well told! Thanks for such a kind review, endKashika. This was one of those projects that almost wrote itself, especially when it came to the thematic reprises. Not that it wasn't a lot of work, but the process had a very natural ebb and flow. Suffice to say, I could hardly be happier with the end result.

[Kaloona Village | 2013]

You made me feel strangely nostalgic.
Like I've played the game where this is (obviously) village theme.
General mood's bittersweet and lovely at the same time. Guess that's the reason.
Great composition. <3
And yes -
Spaghetti massacre.

Bertn1991 responds:

I'm glad I could bring you nostalgia. It's not a real game, sadly. Thanks for listening <3

Eep spaghetti massacre. Day = made ^.^

[Tophat Mice]

Much tasty melody.
Nothing too complicated yet fine as hell.
That one snare is a bit to loud though (at 0:35 and 1:07).
Sweet, really enjoyed it.

[Thumper]

Melodic atmospheric piece! :)
I'd work a little more on instrument levels.
That bass ticking is a bit too loud, especially at 0:46 when lead kicks in.
1:50 is kinda weird moment and the ending has no impact. If you wanted to fade it out, maybe it good if you started fading it out even before. This felt like a sudden cut.
Honestly I really enjoyed the composition, your arrangement is pretty fine.
Little more work on production, and it's gonna be really great.
Great melodies for sure. :)
Keep it up.

kevinl responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Yep I always had that problem with the bass. Can't really do much bout it cause I made it on the garageband app.

best regards

[Flying through the night air]

Not bad.

I feel like you need some kind of catch in this one.
Seems too random with this piano melody.

Few suggestions:
Although I do love the dnb loop, I'd work more on transitions and changes within the song (starting from bass, drums too) and maybe adding some FX so it becomes more interesting and dynamic.
That 1:48 came all of a sudden, felt very strange, need polishing for sure.

Got the potential for sure.
Keep it up.

sapoman responds:

Thanks, I'll give your suggestions a try.

[FD - Battle Theme]

Simple yet very effective.
Not much to say here.
At the first listen it felt kinda weird on its own, but then I checked the game project link to find what the game is about.
Makes perfect sense now.
Certainly fits the theme and feels more modern/futuristic.
Good job.

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thanks, yeah. Like all soundtracks, they have to serve a purpose. On their own they might sound weird or out of place

[Nocturnal]

Love the drops.
Although I am not fond of a genre, you always seem to come up with nice and interesting sound/arrangement and composition in general. :)

LegnaZeg responds:

thanks for checking it and glad you found it interesting!! seems like people didn't like it so much, XD

[Beyond This Star Redux]

Would love to hear more of something like this.
Nothin' much to say. You nailed it.
Favorited. <3
5/5

[Funky Jazz Band]

Smooth and funky as hell.
Chords, bass, perc, sounds in general. Everything in place.
Mix is clean and nice.
Buildup towards the end was fine but the ending itself felt kinda weird though.
Nevertheless, good job, really enjoyed your track.

chertolet responds:

I'm very glad that you liked this track!

[Strong and Stable]

Catchy and funky!
Much oriental.
While I was listening I wondered how would it sound if there was some stringed folk instrument playing the main melody. :o
Good stuff. Vocal parts are on point.
I didn't like the end though.
Anyways, good job :)

Quarl responds:

lols. I can forgive you for not liking the end. I didn't like the part from 0:00 - 2:51.
