HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[there's no sunlight]

Story of my life. I'm sitting on a lot of works that need to see the light of day. Probably a face-lift too.

Pretty cool gating synthwave vibe going here. Pretty minimalist, but it's aight. Doesn't overstay its welcome like some songs on NG portal lmao.

im-leia responds:

thanks! im pretty proud of the production and general vibes, its just arranging that needs to be finished. even then, this little bit works well on its own.

[Aurora]

7 minutes is long...direction is a bit boring. Loving that popcorn synth. 4:58 mark is pretty interesting, but it gets a bit stale too.

etK responds:

naaaah 7 minutes is average for ambient, quite short even ;)

[Nichtophobia]

It's OK. Not sure about all the piano notes at the end and the sample used. Maybe a more synth-y keyboard?

[Vibe Energy]

Great loop.

[What Really Matters]

Interesting textures & beat. This'd work in a lot of game genres. I like how you adapted my work. Didn't see the knives reference right away, so it didn't click. You're good at transforming samples!

[Gameboy Days]

I like this. Nice minimalism tune.

[Parasitic Living]

Nice glitch beat.

[Hot!]

Has a 32-bit vibe to it at parts. Nice combination of low and hi-fi. This is good stuff. Very funky.

[Tennobyte - Time Bend]

Sounds great low or high volume. That isn't easy to do. Nice mixing.
Nothing offends the ear and there is some cool techniques here. Liking the chip-step kinda feel. Glitchhop huh?

For 110bpm it feels real fast haha. Nice hax.

[DXZX - Great Journey]

0:56, I think there's a note hit too hard and is jarring considering its a soft part of the song.
Great dynamics here.
2:59 is the 2nd most emotional part for me.
Nice key changes.
5:08-end, just wow. No bars held here. Great!

This is a great "nostalgia/memories of better times" kind of tune. Or maybe a sad goodbye.

DXZX responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I will make more music!!!! It was emotional making this 💓💓
