Tyguy80s's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Troubles arise, Troubles ago]

I know it seems like I five star a lot of your audio but it truly fascinates me classical piano music. Because you improv though, the music is free of typical song structures that might force a song or piece to sound too refined. I'm not saying every song shouldn't be diatonic and structured; the world needs music like that. I've always enjoyed more adventurous tunes that wasn't afraid to switch between neighboring keys and relative minors.

I love your shift from A maj to G maj to A to Amin. The use of 5ths/power chords was added like the right amount of seasoning upon a dish. Such fast arpeggios around the five minute mark. Do you study Ravel's work? This piece in particular is an aurora of sound and dizzying pleasantry. I should transcribe this and share it sometime it's really lovely and an extreme display of talent.

adaMills responds:

you should check out one of my favorite composers: Lowell Liebermann. an american born piano player/composer. Check out his piece called 'Gargoyles" or most of his Nocturnes. you will see where i get most of my inspiration from.

[You Are The Fighter]

Sounds inspired by cinema-like trailers even before reading the comments. There's room in the world for music like this of course. This piece's prove that flutes can sound commanding and robust. It's nice that set it up as a loop that way it'd work as video game music. Thakns for sharing I0TA.

Thank you for your review. :) Take care and happy holidays!

[Nocturne in Bb Maj]

adaMills thanks for sharing again. Your improvs always sound somehow refined, it's like good themes just pour out of you. I have to transcribe your work sometime. Your chord choices and voicings are fascinating. The development around 2:30 is seamless and adventurous; yet somehow you managed to return to home base in Bb and even recaped the theme from the beginning. BTW tell if I'm wrong but I'm feeling a 6/8 sorta vibe/rhythm. This is great work adaMills. I bet people fall in love with you all the time XD

adaMills responds:

yes, it is in a compound duple meter. gotta have that sway in the music. people love me until insaneman comes out to play. hehe. thanks for listening!

[Drunk Man And The Wall]

Nice violin theme here. Even though it's heavily repeated throughout the entire song it doesn't get boring. Wow, what a dedication in the description there. I feel it.

zybor responds:

Thanks for the kind words!

[Crypto War]

That manifesto's deep SnowTeddy. What happened, did you read that website and this was the music you felt/heard? If it's something you feel strongly for, writing software for the sake of privacy... That's trilling some vast territory though. Listened to this while skimming the mani and the website, it's definitely fitting; this song progresses nicely. Good work here SnowTeddy.

zybor responds:

This track is more of a personal reflection, but still as an inspiration. I've been a part of the cypherpunk movement since the early 2000. I'm a hacker, cypherpunk and infoanarchist. I believe the technology I developed and contributed to help shape this world greatly.

Thank you for your time to respond thoughtfully to this track, Tyguy80s. :)

[Help, I'm a Rock]

Interesting story in the comment box. It's progresses nicely, a bit repetitive for my taste but it's good nonetheless. Good work here. It's catchy.

mantrakid responds:

Thanks a bunch Tyguy80s!

[Re:Reveris ~ Vocal Ver.]

What software do you use to compose? Is it FL studio or Musescore or something? This is a great work of art, and your voice has improved!

Troisnyx responds:

FL Studio 11, to be precise. Thank you!

[Signal]

This is the sound of computers plotting the end of the world.

zybor responds:

:D thanks for dropping by!

[Autonomous Anarchy Action]

Unlike some of my music, almost every tune you publish is a full length song and it seems to be perfect for an ambiance or background. This'd be good study music or web surfing music. I can picture a main menu like Basi...Coro.. mentioned. Thanks for sharing your artistic expression with us SnowTeddy.

zybor responds:

Thanks you for your thoughts! :D

[A Life Of My Own]

Nothing quite like a good improv on your favorite instrument :) I felt this one better, probably because it wasn't clockwork like your last piece. The use of chromatic notes was a little forced at around 3:20, but the rest was clever use of chromatic-ism. I like the way you stuck with the key of Bb/Gmin, I haven't heard music in that key quite played like this in a very long time. The jazz chords at just shy of 11:00 didn't seem so much impact-ful but they seemed like a device to go a little atonal for a couple minutes which seemed to work.

There's definitely a few themes here that could be developed into a song if you're needing inspiration. I'd encourage that, it's an easy way to make more original music by looking at your own songs and seeing if there was something that you wanted to develop upon and establish. When I write symphonies including a harp part, I almost always want to write a song for harp and/or bass clarinet just based off that theme.

*plug alert* Examples of where I employed that tactic, Blissful Venture and Liam's Lullaby, Theme of Disturbed Wind and Trust in Despair, Symphony Allegro and Journey Through a New World, Burnt Okra and Through The Swamp. The infinite possibles in music, it's fun really :D

There's definitely something good from this improv and I enjoyed the mostly clever use of the chromatic notes. This song's unique; nice work Chad. Seriously though, consider maybe writing a song based on something from this session. It's a really satisfying feeling, expressing yourself through a creative work that you enjoy... I'm glad NG exists and allows amateurs to do so.

ChadWiggy responds:

Thank you, guy. Everything I play is actually improvised. Kind of like channeling my thoughts and feelings into a audio journal. Only way I could replay it would be if I recorded the notes with midi.
