HeartOfTheStorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Novus Vitae Pt 2]

Aww yeah, the first part is still one of my faves. Can't say if this one is better or not. Pretty darn similar.

[~When Light Shone Through]

What? I can't listen to a better version of "When light Shone Through" just cuz some dude claimed your work as his own? Do you think you might be overreacting? It's not that I'm dying to listen to your music, just don't understand why you'd make us all miss out.

DjClyme responds:

well, I'm trying to get a copyright on this song and i dont want the fact that this is on newgrounds to interfer with that. Once i get the copyright i will be re-releasing it.

[{425} Snowy Sunrise]

Came here from the Oxob3000 anim. Beautiful piano, nice build, nice variation. Doesn't go anywhere, but that's life. should I download? sure.

[Splintered Dreams V2]

Nice and intense! DL for sure! I noticed some melody from the song Palladioat 1:57.I didn't bother to see if any anyone else in the comments recognized it, they're all so darn long.

sumguy720 responds:

Sweet! Yeah I think I got that from Palladio but I had no idea what/when/where. Thanks for telling me the name! I was just like "where did I hear this? why does it fit so well here?"

[UntitledGlitch.mp3]

Swag. You could call it Time Lapse. That title would go well with any glitch song. I really like ALL your stuff I've listened to so far, which I can't say about anyone else here on NG

InvisibleObserver responds:

I may just edit it to play up a time lapsey feel and call it that for the sake of putting titling to rest.

[NSFW]

Deep house!!!! Awesome, I only have two others like this, this'll get hundreds of plays from me.

[AuruxBlu - Monument (FL Core)]

Finished?

It's great background music for a building moment in something where there might be dialogue. Does it feel like some trance I'd often enjoy listening to? Almost, but not quite. If you want something more impressive, I can only offer that you could break away from that monotone synth at points, reach a climax, break it down, change the pace and/or stretch the wings with some ridiculous transition. That's only if this isn't finished.

AuruxBlu responds:

There was a lot more I wanted to do but I didn't want to keep on working on it cause I was afraid I would keep on editing. Though, it has been bugging me to finish it. I have been experimenting with monotone sounds and subtractive synthesis lately and wanted to take the opportunity to do something awesome in this song. Thanks for the feedback.

[-Midnight Breaks-]

weak

I guess I had better give a good reason for the 8 stars. I'm not dissapointed, I just feel the spirit of the song needs improving. In my opinion only, this song starts weak as a limp banana. The synth is oddly out of place in the second group of lyrics. Later on the bass reminds me a bit of Pendulum, except pendulum has luscious bass with a lot more emphasis, this has an interesting bassline but it doesn't feel strong. The vocals are quiet, and hard to understand. It's nothing that would make me bob my head, just raise an eyebrow. All in all, too much lead synth, the one that's not even that interesting. It has your signature happy violin samples, but for once they aren't powerful. I think you really need variety, It's good just like at 2:24 and 3:10, but I get the feeling that the powerful parts are constrained to repetitiveness. The focus on the vocals (vocals are usually fantastic) really undid the rest of the song, and made it NOT blow me out of the water. I hope this helps in the slightest.

[-Dadudat-]

Dadudat's the stuff

Mmmm, it makes me feel good too. reminds me to break the rust, grease the axle, and get a move on. Screw this gravity crap, it keeps retracing my steps, it's kept me down too long. *sigh*... oh snap, wasn't I reviewing something a while ago? Well, I like the slow build, the numb feel, the precise piano on top slightly rustling the leaves, the retro synths. 10/10 for effort, attitude, and innovation.
