HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vino Rosso]

Glad I discovered your sound! UwU

ClitBait responds:

i also like to listen to yours work :3

[AlpiNeve]

Woah sexy pitch bend work. Awesome soundscape too! You should compose for indie games lol.

ClitBait responds:

I wish I could compose something for a game

[AIM-Tragedy]

Very beautifully done. Who's cutting those onions??
The craftsmanship and attention to humanization on those violins, cellos etc is just amazing! Really digged the arrangement too! T_T

DigitalProdigy responds:

thank you so much for that. I really appreciate that!!
sorry about those onions!!! 😊

[AIM 2022 | Siberg - The Journey]

Pretty sick EDM Bladerunner vibe going on here. Definitely fits the animated pic to a tee. Good jorb! Not a judge though, so don't get your hopes up too high hehehe.

Siberg responds:

maybe you should be a judge tho :)

[Lost]

Decent enough start. As a simple BGM loop, this could work hehe.

V1ZION responds:

I’ve got something in store for the extended version. :)

[The Forgotten Mystics]

Mystical wonder! Big and sometimes overwhelming, like the atmosphere is very heavy.

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much! Definitely went for a very atmospheric approach with this one :)

[Ms. Mabel's Ragtime Machine | 2022]

One of my favourites from you this year, unless I'm in some weird timewarp and it was actually from 2021. That dulcimer sure is sexy! Nice rag-tag piano stuff and the tempo changes are badass :)

EDIT) So I had a herp-a-derp moment. Read the comment and looked at the time posted. Energy drink crash LOL. Real bad addiction ug...

It could also because 2-3 months ago feel like a year now. Time waits for no man :P

Bertn1991 responds:

No worries. I'm pretty sure my blood type is coffee at this point. Maybe I'll graduate to energy drinks someday. And oh yes, you must grab the FFVIII soundfont sometime if you haven't already. That dulcimer is fire. I don't feel bad about taking it, since Uematsu just casually lifted the sounds from a keyboard he had.

This track is from 2022, I assure you. Time is like the bad guy in slasher movies, approaching slowly, but always closing in no matter how fast you run. There's 12% chance my analogy made any sense, but I'm sticking with it lol.

[Triumph of the Spirits | 2022]

Heard 'Triumph of the Spirits' on your YouTube! Very fantastic JRPG styled emotional piece! Kinda like Wild Arms. Nice work man!

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks so much! Your thoughts are always appreciated, friend. Ah, I'm gonna really get into Wild Arms one of these days.

[Dog House 2 | 2021]

Grats on the FP. What a way to end 2021. Too bad I wasn't there to observe it. This song is definitely going into my mix list. Love that jazzy jig chill-step vibe.

Bertn1991 responds:

Much appreciated! I'm a little surprised that this was front-paged, but I'm happy people enjoy~

[Impromptu No. 157 | 2022]

This is a beautiful window into your soul. Hope you're doing alright Bertn. Also, tad surprised this wasn't front-paged. But then again, neither was your latter ones. The FP-guy kinda left me in the dust too. T_T

Bertn1991 responds:

Aww, too kind. Thank you. I'm doing okay these days. 2022 has been pretty decent so far. I hope things have been not terrible for you as well. And yeah, I have no idea what goes into picking songs for the front page ^.^'
