OVERSCORE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windy]

I really like this one, it flows super well from one section to the next, and each melodic variation is uniquely beautiful but also synergizes perfectly with the coherent whole of the composition. Also, GOD I’m so jealous playing skills! Being able to not only write something as artistic this but play it flawlessly too? You have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us 😇

Solacitude responds:

Your appreciation is very welcome! It's always nice to me when others connect to the flow I go for. Especially with the amount of rubato, and tempo changes in this one I had big doubts if people would follow the "inner tempo" I was feeling for. Some people would probably say it's too much, but it's a style I love. I'm glad you liked!

I just want to make sure to make clear that, I didn't play the whole thing in one go like this. Each section is practiced and recorded many, many times in many different variations, and quality. I don't always proceed like this, but this one I had to tackle some quite challenging techniques to me that would've made it hard to get a one shot recording good enough to me. I could learn it as it is though since I played all the parts, but knowing me I'll just start composing something else :)

Thanks for the review and good words!

I like this ambient feel with the modern-sounding drums. Simple and fun beat, I really like it! The arps are amazing, the whole thing is clean… great work!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thank you for the feedback OVERSCORE! The drums and the melodies are inspired a lot by your amazing songs. Once again, thanks!

datboi7os responds:

Thank you so much!! I really love working with other artists so I decided to branch out and work with some of them!! <33

[Summer Job (And the Evenings After)]

These chords are so fun, and every lead is super satisfying!! This it’s like a chill version of Hyper Potions, which is a vibe I would totally like to hear more of!

ConnorGrail responds:

the chords are usually my favourite part of this genre, and they were super fun to come up with on this track. thanks for listening, hopefully some day I'll do more like this :)

[Wicked Aberration]

I don’t typically get into atonal stuff, but I can appreciate how the lack of scale would give you a certain freedom to use the keys in new ways. This chaotic feel is exactly what you were aiming for. Every note feels deliberate, even in the most dissonant sections. Fittingly strange piece for madness day!

Solacitude responds:

It's really because it's madness day I thought this experiment did fit the vibe, or it would stay offline forever! But it makes me want to try again with more complex atonal exercises, it's really hard to not stick to a key!

The chaotic feel is quite profoundly rooted in atonality. I also go for lots of minor seconds, it gives a dramatic flavor. I was wondering how to call that mode, "chromatic minor"? I'm glad you caught the vibe I was going for! Thanks for the review!

[Wicked Circus]

Definitely sounds like the title, very creative piece that strays from your usual style in a fun way. This really shows your depth as a musician, your ability to write emotional and dramatic pieces while also mmaking fun ragtime compositions like this.

Solacitude responds:

Thank you so much! True that it steers away from the usual. Maybe I could integrate some stride in more compositions. It would avoid also to lose the ability by not practicing it enough, I love the sound of stride! Speaking of dramatic music, did I just craft a rag time that sounds sinister?
It's not the first, but it's quite rare :)
Thank you very much for the good words and review!

[Endless]

We’ve missed your music for the past 9 days but glad you’re back lol. I really like that harsh lead in the drops, it contrasts very well with the ambient sections! Everything is on point as usual, you’re a master G2… keep it up!!

G2961 responds:

Thank you very much, OVERSCORE! I really appreciate your words!
