HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zophar's Domain | 2023]

Daaaaamn the atmosphere and phat synths here is just magical. Then the piano at the latter third is just... icing the (vaporwave?) cake. Very introspective and ethereal. Beautiful work Bertn! (Adding this to my mix collection!)

Feels vaguely like an SMT track. Kinda like Soul Hackers or Persona 2.

[Camel Star Ultra | 2022]

This makes you want to do the Robot...love the campy quasi low-fi energy here...sorta Vaporwave-ish too methinks.

Death never felt sexier - referring to the AI art as well as the track (Or am I?)

[Red Peony | 2023]

Oh yeah this banger. It's in my usb mix now muahahaha. I really love that retro swirly flute sample, I need to use it more myself - got it on my Omnisphere hehe. Also, the ambience FX and and the key-vibes are thicc man. Good work :3

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks for welcoming this tune into your USB mix. A good home, I'm sure. And yep, I'm big-time into Omnisphere. Guilty as charged.

Big, BIG thanks :3

[Phantom Africa | 2023]

Some epic vaporwave DnB here. Very intellectrual sounding. Kinda reminds me of Soul Hackers 1 actually! Friggin' hawt. IDK why this masterpiece isn't in my usb jam collection. Welp I'm fixing that now. Thanks for sharing!

Bertn1991 responds:

The jam collection? Oh my, the honer—it is high. Haven't played Soul Hackers yet, but it's on the list. Anyways, thanks for listenin'!

[Koumei's Challenge | 2023]

Oh yeah, I heard this track before on your YT. Some seriously bad ass Megaman X and SHMUP vibes here!

[Zephyr Base | 2023]

Dig that 80's vapor/synth wave rock. The chord-work is especially epic...and gotta have that sexy synth brass baby!

Bertn1991 responds:

Only the sexiest synth brass will do ^.^

[Nimi Nama | 2023]

That is definitely one epic World acoustic big beat track there. Nice work! Love that electric Dulcimer sample from Omnisphere (That is what you used right?)

Bertn1991 responds:

Oh, good ear! Love me some Omnisphere.

Thanks, as almost :^)

[Midnight Gallery | 2023]

Very beautiful work!

[A Colder Blue | 2023]

Hitting up with another comment copy/pasta from your YT cuz i be lazy lol. Wow 2023 is almost done... So Happy New Year in advance :P

"Damn, I love how 'A Colder Blue' evolves. Perfect name to a perfect track. The 1 minute mark reminds me a lot of a lot of Enix and Atlus games back in the day." -me from yesterday =p

Bertn1991 responds:

Wishing you a prosperous and productive 2024 :D

(Holy goodness, we're in the mid-2020s.)

[Camel Star Hit Record | 2023]

Holy crap, that lead synth work is killer! 'Camel Star Hit Record' is definitely going into my car mix collection hehe. Funky!

Bertn1991 responds:

I recorded each part with my keyboard for this one, having a fun time with pitch-bend wheel.

Whoa, the car mix? I'm honored. Huge thanks :o
