HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[00FF 0o]

Great for listening in the car and chillin.

geonb responds:

thanks - I also like listening in the car!

[Lost in the sea]

This is so chill and fine. Thanks for share!

[Mumblin']

Chiiillllllll~ And it loops nicely.

[Off The Record]

Damn n1bba this is groood. Great and good.

[Lung Full Of Spores]

Cool.

[Flow To Death]

I like that this is going against the grain of what everyone else is doing here. Love those dithered/distorted snares and the tempo slow downs. Lots of interesting textures and loops. I'm not sure if I'm high enough to enjoy all the nuances here though lmao. Still, this is a pretty sick tune. What even is a comfort zone? A miserable little pile of *yawn*.

[Tennobyte - Fack 'Em]

Chillstep with some wub wub. Nice. Great Brass stabs and vocoloids and shit.

[Relief]

In the future, I'd lay off the qualitative remarks and let the listener decide. Nevertheless, this IS a sock-knocking-off ambient tune. Might wanna boost the master or something. Seems a bit on the quiet side.

Hyenaedon responds:

I apologize for any loss of socks due to repeated listening to this track. Anyways thanks for the review! I did boost it a bit actually but any more might have added too much distortion, i’ll have to see about boosting each instrument a bit next time. ;)

[Zypher]

Is this Omnisphere stuff? Really awesome textures here. Gating is good. I like that you didn't use risers and lowers every damn time a transition happens. Too many artists focus on that shit nowadays.

U know, the intro segment and 3:38 alone would make a GREAT BG for a videogame, like a Menu Screen or a Town theme. Or a calm moment in a horror game ;)

MurkodenMusic responds:

The DAW that I use does not include Omnisphere, but maybe I got close to it's sound. Textures and atmosphere helped a lot in this track, especially during the introduction, outro, and intermission.
Risers, sweepers, and other transitional sounds of the like are fun to have, but sometimes you just got let the track breathe a bit more, and let it run it's own solo work.
It's awesome that you feel some of it could be included into game in some sort of way, thank you for that.
Loved every minute that I spent working on this track, and I can't give enough "thank yous" to imply how happy I am knowing that people like my work. Thanks again for your interests and feedback. :D

[Head Forth]

Akira Yamaoka sounds right here. Definitely sounds like a David Lynchian WTF-scape, which is a good thing. Then 1:08 goes into more normal territory. Boohoo. Oh well; it's very well produced.

2:00 yay we return to spooky dream land. Good low drone at 2:15. And it gets even better at the 2:45 area. As the waveform suggests 3:30 area is back to normal-ish land, but it's certainly more glitchy and wtf-y. Great effects all around.

I like that 4:25 helps the listener wind down and relax again. Love the rollercoaster energy this tune gives off.

"Head Forth" is a very creative tune and it's very apparent that it took a lot of work to put together. Nice!

MurkodenMusic responds:

Thanks for giving constructive feedback! Doesn't happen very often.
Yeah, I know, the drops are a little "eh," but I nearly had no ideas, and this idea almost was going to be replaced with something probably a lot worse, aha. I'm glad you like the more chill part of the song. I like them too; even when it's less "impact-ful," it still holds a feeling of action if you will.
The song in it's entirely pretty much is an audio roller-coaster, I'm glad you find it interesting.
I am also happy that you recognize the effort put into it. Thanks once more for your feedback and liking what I've put out. Cheers. :)
