etherealwinds's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In Flanders Fields - Jessie Yun]

I have no idea how you can create this on an iPhone... this is incredible.

JessieYun responds:

Hey etherealwinds,
Thank you very much for the comment! I'm so glad you liked it!
Some new treasures I discovered did some job haha.

Maybe, just maybe I should create a video about composing music with iPhone in the future.

[Forgotten Promises]

Yessss Celtic music! This is very how to train your dragon and I adore it. Is that a real tin whistle? It sounds gorgeous. Really lovely lyrics and the instruments come together really nicely - it's a beautifully uplifting composition as a whole. Cute ending too ;)

Good luck in the NGADM!

bassfiddlejones responds:

Thank you sir! Yes, that's me playing the tin whistle (there's a low D whistle sneaking in at the end too, haha). Big fan of the how to train your dragon soundtrack, probably inspired this in part without me knowing it. Thanks for the luck, we shall need it against you!

[Mourning My Memories]

Damn, those notes at the end. You are a king.
I really enjoyed this track a lot. I always think it's a bold move when somebody submits a solo instrument piece towards these competitions as every single note is so exposed but done well, they really pay off. I think this fits into that category perfectly. This piece certainly doesn't cater to the typical - it took me on a very pleasant journey with all of its different dynamics and varying sections. Probably one of my favourite of your compositions thus far.

Good luck in the NGADM :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I've got to admit, I may not have played all of that perfectly, without any editing :'D
I can play it quite well though!

I was contemplating making something else than a solo piano track, but after writing this piece, I felt I'd just end up hiding all the intricate elements of the piece by adding things on top of it. This is actally my first solo piano piece in any NGADM though! :O
Thank you for all the nice words <3

Good luck to you as well!!
This is one hell of a round o.O

[It's the end]

Not sure why this is getting zero bombed. This is amazing work - you got a new fan :)

ABoyWithABalloon responds:

Thanks man <3

[Forever Jazz]

Lovely :)

AzulJazz responds:

Thx friend!

[These Lonely Walls ft. Darnell (RealFaction)]

Love this :)

Troisnyx responds:

meep ❤️!

[Veiled]

my love, you have returned.

and this, this is amazing. you are honestly such a beautiful poet. I love the dynamics in your voice on the woosh verse. the verse afterwards is a really love surprise and the GUITAR after that. damn. your voice break in 'nocturnalized' before the last verse is heaven. this is honestly perfect. the way you sing 'zen' and 'on'. beautiful.

so glad this tune didn't get scrapped. it really is a masterpiece.

Kor-Rune responds:

I love u and ur music and kind words <3 Thank you

[Unraveling the Mask]

Love this harpsichord! I really like this a lot. It seems you've taken to the JB Violin really nicely.

Everratic responds:

Thanks for the nice comments! I use it in every song nowadays so I'm very familiar with it :)

[The Last Defense - Jessie Yun [NGUAC]]

This was one of my favourites out of everyone's submissions during the Knockout rounds of the NGUAC - you should be very proud of this piece! <3

JessieYun responds:

Hey etherealwinds,
Thanks a lot for the comment. Glad you enjoyed this track. Congratulations on making into the final round. Best of luck!

[The Monolith]

I love your use of reverb in this track. So satisfying on the ears. Everything comes through so nicely in the mix - all the little details in the track and the percussion especially. When it comes to sound design, you're pretty thoughtful.

TimerClock14 responds:

Hey there! Thanks for checking me out! :) And thanks for following me as well! I appreciate your comments a lot. I put a lot of thought into my sound design on this track so I'm really happy to see someone take notice.

I also saw your response to my review on your track, thanks for being so receptive to it. Some people get really defensive to that kind of review because it totally comes out of left field lol. Biggups my dude! <3
