OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BF~\SENSATIONS/* (Remix)]

I still hear dimrain a bit more in this one, but cornandbeans’s crazy fast synth solos make a STRONG appearance! As always, I’m so impressed by your ability to replicate other musicians’ styles. You have a great ear for it, and an incredible talent. Keep it up G2!

[one80 & radon - Arctic Overdrive [NGMC 2025 Round 1]]

This is so ENERGETIC, holy crap this is such an epic take on the hitech style. A banger in every single aspect, well done!

[crispy x Solacitude - Boreal Speedway]

This NG music championship is already one of my favorite events on this site due to the incredible amount of collabs I’ve seen. This one I would have never expected, but you clearly worked incredibly well together! Solacitude’s incredible composing and piano adeptness, and crispy’s insanely creative production and musicianship— youre both so talented, and this collab absolutely showcases that for both of you. Amazing work!

crispybatteryacid responds:

thank you very much my homeslice hood g! im glad you enjoyed!

[Definition of Insanity]

MY GOD the drops are so heavy and I freaking love it! The orchestral sections sound great, I think this is the first time I’ve heard a midtempo orchestral dubstep track actually. Sounds awesome! Great job to both of you!!

[Solar Flare on the Air]

This song is wonderfully unpredictable, from the unconventional chord progressions to the spontaneous structure of the track. I never know what’s going to happen next, and giving someone that feeling is incredibly difficult from a compositional standpoint. The complexity of this track really pushes it to the next level! You did an absolutely amazing job writing and producing this, can’t wait to hear what else you have for us this year!

TheMordent responds:

Thank you so much :) I like to keep each second fresh, so I hope it doesn't sound too incohesive! I hope to write some more repeatable tracks soon, as this style takes a long time, oh well!

[Running Away (Espyo Remix)]

THE LEGEND IS BACK
I seriously love everything about this remix, the production is top-notch as usual! Love the clean drops... the growls you used are perfect! Every bit of the ambient sections are beautifully immersive. This is exactly how DnB is meant to sound, you've executed this remix perfectly. You better reach the podium with this one, wish you best of luck in the contest!

EspyoNG responds:

Yessir! I am really glad you love this remix so much, because I put so much of myself in it, especially in the sound design. I tried to not over-complicate the atmospheric stuff; I just kinda layered 3-4 instruments maximum, and it gives everything so much space. The fact you think MY remix is where DnB is at is insane, thank you so much! <3

Let's get that top spot with this one! >:D

[the song that plays when you encounter the person who disliked your youtube video when you were 12]

I like the arpeggios, but some of the notes are really dissonant. Make sure to brush up on some theory, the fundamentals are always important!
Overall a pretty simple song that is just fine being simple! For me it would be called “That song that plays when you encounter the person who zero-bombed your song when you were 12” lol

EDIT: I just learned from my piano teacher, but I've heard musictheory.net is good too. There also plenty of videos on the subject. Honestly, scales are the most important thing to learn!

AFasterSlowpoke responds:

Do you know some good websites or videos where I can learn theory and check if my notes/chords are consonant?
I would prefer one that has letters along with sheet music because I can also barely read sheet music :P

[เภՇг๏ (Intro)]

This dark, psytrance-ish feel is an incredible change from your normal, how did you even do this?! The theming for this whole project is also so well executed, all of it really makes for a one-of-a-kind listening experience. Keep this up!!

VariableGR responds:

I started to implement a style more rooted in my beginnings, where the music had to make you feel a story or an anecdote.
I loved playing a lot with the dog effects and more because I haven't achieved something as great as Randoms Mushroom

[no-signal.]

This is so cool… I LOVE the strong theming of this track! I also found the way you gradually build the track up to one climactic trance drop very neat. The pads are beautiful by the way, I know that’s your specialty. Only critique I can give is more of a preference thing, maybe the snare in the drop at 1:51 should be less clicky?
I’m glad you decided to branch out of your normal style, because this really is a uniquely beautiful song!

eurus0 responds:

I'm glad you liked it! I learned a lot from making this one especially from the fact that I made the drop and the pads first and had to find a way to make them work together, I will definitely make more themed songs like this

[sinai siege]

@G2961 can tell you a lot more about mixing than I can… all I can say is that the stereo is paper-thin! You can alleviate this stereo congestion using wideners, or just panning some of the elements to have their own space in the headphones. Panning is a really underrated feature that I feel not enough music producers are utilizing!
