OktoPianist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fluffy]

Definitely I think this stuff is underrated. I appreciate mostly the transition between parts, which empowers the entrance of them. They pass over the ear not being perceived and they do their job. All the sound into it is soft and it flows as if you already listen to the piece once.
Please consider to visit my profile in order to listen to my music, too.

Thank you for the feedback!

Fine work. are you deeply into orchestral arrangement, aren't you? Regarding this, you're definitely better than mine. To reach the next level what could you do? This composition proves you can develop music which actually flows, far from the famous repeating fatigue. What can you do next imo is to bring that to interesting variations, in other words: to exaggerate it. Don't fear to create moments of apparent emptiness. Same goes for when it occurs to empower the density of music. Another great "boost" would be to work as an actual composer into a team for a film, well this is all we aim to do, right? Before that you can try to invest time in putting the music into a film you already know, seeing if it could fit it. Can be extremely regarding as a task, because you are forced to force your music in the direction of the film. So you can understand even better what's going on in that particular moment and which aspects of your music to increase.

[SUNSCREECH - a cosmic rift]

I would love to collaborate since I think we have the same sensibility about music, I love about this stuff it remains unpredictable even if it is composed by very essential elements, minimal I would say. The melodies are so sweet and they avoid being banal, in brief: they don't fear semplicity. Good job indeed you must have been working on it a lot, feel free to visit my channel so you can verify with your own ears our similarities of approach. Thanks.

I see a long beat em up halloween style. You walk alone at night in a dark street. A few crows flying over the roofs, a lot of rubbish all over the street, and you just continue your walk. Also, you head into a laboratory of crazy experiment and you find a room all full of light coming from a huge computer. This must be the place for strangest, super human activities. This music matches my flavours, so I give you the best score.

[Portable Happiness]

I just want composition lessons from you!

supermelon-creations responds:

oh ehh, yes?
I don't think I'm a master at it, but what's important is that you get used to writing melodies first, I suggest start composing with only notes in one key, and if you feel more confident in the skills you've build by making music with just notes form 1 scale, you can try to do some more challenging stuff by trying to use some fancy notes in between, as long as it sounds good its probably good, I wish you luck on your future of writing music, you got it, as long as you keep practicing

[Canopy]

Personally, I would have put some modulation into it. It's a kind of trial you can afford with your actual compositional skills. So why to spend only 2 hours instead of investing more time to create something better?

[Silly Cat Battle !!]

Great. Are you an experienced music composer? This sound a bit like Undertale, expecially in the moment of the action. But it could fit Sonic too. I have nothing to say about it, just keep doing.

[Water Level]

Using percussions it's a "more" which you might don't need to use but you perfectly adapted its presence through the piece. I liked the fact that every single new sound is another way to express the same basic idea which merge well with it. I think you might want to decide if to remain on this musical idea for a longer piece or to go into something new.

[!c! - xylo 4]

Good approach to composition and great sound sensibility. I appreciate the fact that the sound is trying to escape from being too tonal, using glissando and some dissonances.

I'm going to be honest, I dont know what that means, im searching it up right now

Ohh! Thank you! this is one of my best works, so Im glad someone else sees it as nice!

If you like it, I reccomend "1c1 - yowie" and "1c1 - atmosphere" which are both similar

[Dregs and Grounds of the Story]

This is so nice! Cool the atmosphere you create, a sort of mix of anime music, a bit of Tohou, Undertale and Sonic. I would say this is an upbeat piece, making me to stay happy. Perhaps also a bit stressful, like something it's going too bad to repair it.
