etherealwinds's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[O Mysterium]

You've got a new fan. I love the style of your work! It's very inspiring.

[Every Photon, 100 Times a Second]

This is phenomenal. Really great work, both the production and the composition. Really well thought out! Well deserved first place. :)

sleepFacingWest responds:

thank you! I didn't expect to even get to the last round. There were a lot of really great musicians taking part. Winning was a very pleasant surprise.

[Last Hope]

I hit play.

The velocities of the choir sound a bit choppy in the rise, in the sense that they're not sounding as if they're gradually rising, which makes sound a bit unnatural. This piano is really lovely! Something sounds a little dry in the mix, perhaps it's the strings. Really enjoying this composition so far! This quiet part is really nice. As usual, you display a lovely range of dynamics in your pieces. I think in the climax, there are elements that are getting buried that could shine a bit brighter in the mix. For me, what needs the most love are the percussion and the strings. There's a lot happening here, but each element deserves to be heard and appreciated!

I would have liked this to be a bit longer so that the climax didn't seem a bit premature (lolol) - Either way, some really lovely compositional ideas here! Still think you're marvellously talented.

CloakedSoup responds:

Ooo thank you for the awesome review! This kind of stuff always helps me to keep improving!

[g o o d t h i n g]

One of my favourite tracks this round, definitely. Get this on youtube with some cyberwave aesthetic and watch the listens roll in haha! This is really good. Doesn't get boring, mixing sounds really nice, nice transitions, nice attention to detail!

midimachine responds:

これは良いこと！

[Invisible Magic]

I actually preferred to the vocals when they were out in the front. Your voice is a gorgeous asset of yours. I really enjoyed listening to this, but it did feel somewhat unfinished in terms of what could be added to it, but you've gotten some really nice advice and you already know this! Your harmonies are SO beautiful, and I love that you have your own well-thought out style that runs through your songs.

A pleasure to listen to.

FinnMK responds:

You're very kind, thank you.

[A Dude Named Grant]

Probably my favourite of the tracks of yours that I've heard. This definitely is very johnfn-esque. I love that transition at 1:36. This is very nice, wp!

Onefin responds:
