Dude09's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Distant Journey]

MAKE IT LONGER!!!

you've heard it enough so i figured i would make it the title to try to spare anyone else of writing it and you reading it. its a beautiful piece, (well i guess its btr than being long like my piece, which i would love your opinion on), by the way nice job on the midnight waltz ;)

[**Moments of Inspiration**]

wow

wow this caused me to have a moment of inspiration :) i could imagine the maker of waterlollies using this easily. its very rare to ear a piece like this, and i;m glad i did, in fact, i would love it if you critiqued my song (beware its long, but its worth it, especially the 2nd half) thanks again for writing an awesome piece, and the fact it fades makes it seem like it could be used in a game easily, in fact i hope it is :) thanks again

KTRECORDS responds:

If the waterlollies dude used this, I would probably crap myself, lol.

Sure, I'll give your song a listen, but I don't know if I can be much help, lol. I'm still learning how to write music myself. I just got lucky on this one, haha.

[Following Your Heart]

*cant stop crying*

i'm now convinced your a professional, at least i hope you are, i cant wait for that wolf video to come out with all your amazing music, i can't hink of anything wrong at all, its amazingly pure, you were obviously having a great time writing this, at least i hope you did, cause i had a great time listenign to this song. I can honestly say that is probably one of the top five ongs on newgrounds. thank you so much for writing so many great songs. do you have an album? and thanks again for your review of my song, it was very much appreciated, especially for the encouragement, thanks again

Jabicho responds:

Can't think of anything wrong? :D hey that's cool, thanks for saying that. Ohh this song means so much for me, it's the first "happy mood" piece I wrote, so it was exciting to see that many people liked it, since i was walking in new ground with this piece :P

An album? nope, not yet, I always had the dream to record a cd after I have at least 12 compositions, so after this month (when I finish a third song for the wolf animation) I'll be half way through! =D

Thanks for your amazing support, it means a lot.

[The String Beet]

ok its obviously not inspired by the vegetable

its short, it reminds me a bit of pirates of the caribbean's jack sparrow with more drums, like someone said before me, a bridge would be cool, like if you went insane with percussion for like a break down with background of string long notes in chords, its pretty cool too

Rukkus responds:

alrite man. I'll take that idea into consideration. Thanks a lot for the suggestion and review!

[Reasoner- Where Do We Turn]

whoa

i'm speechless, which is rare, beautifully done, i hope i can get that good at composing soon, amazing, even scrumptrulescent :) (saturday night live there ;) )

[Fantasia Nocturne No.2]

pretty good

i'm a big fan of chopin's nocturnes so i may be a little critical. one thin you should try is dynamics, especially with the repeating base line, maybe vary it a bit more. (lol like i'm one to talk, just listen to my "a hopeful heart") my favorite part was actually the end cause thats when it truly got unique, straying away from a common theme can be good every once in awhile, a key change here or there or a tempo change or two, also, at around 1:07 i'd think it would sound cool if you did the scales and arpegios like you did, but at a constant flow which thn you could break back into an earlier pattern then do what you did at the end, and mke it longer, the ending is cool keep it goin, ya know? but all thats just my opinion, sounds great otherwise, especially for a first song, believe me i know the feeling. good luck in the future ;)

sarias responds:

haha thats funny you say that because in my sheet music for this song thats how its written and a lot of rubato when i play it, along with dynamics unfortunatly i dont have a mic so this is just a midi clip with added effects compliments of xKore, and he isn;t the artist I am so he didn't know what went where im sure he prolly thinks the same as you though lol you havea good ear, and im glad you could hear that :D accually in the begining where theres the scalar part its supposed to be fp<> for each scale, and then its supposed to at one point the repeated line diminuendos then creshendos till the climax of the song then drops then gains momentum till the end

[Confession of a Lonesome Heart]

are you kidding?

very pretty piece, and i actually think the stuttering helps out the piece, kinda like allowing the last thought to fade away and start a new one. plus you're right, i felt the raw emotion through this original recording. one thing though, did you get tired at the end of the song like at 3:00? otherwise very pretty

[Through Aurora's Eyes]

beautiful *tear*

you made me cry, and i love it. i wrote a piano piece with the same theme with hope (in fact its called "a hopeful heart" on newgrounds) but i'll admit yours is defintely better than mine. i dont even have to see the flash to feel what this song is trying to show the heart. if i have a girl i was gonna name her aurora, now i'm almost positive i will, i would be honored if you would critique my piece. this is definately a fav. of mine. thank you for writing such a beautiful song

Jabicho responds:

Oh such inspiring words, thanks for that, I'm gonna listen to your piece =D I'm sure it's gonna be great! thanks again =)
