The-Cupbearer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[SΛPPHIRΞ]

It's been quite a while since I heard good minimalist composition on Newgrounds. I've been grabbing all of these songs and I look forward to the rest of them!

DjDragonfire responds:

Thank you for commenting! I'm looking forward to using this style.

[Dust]

Very good chorus here, but it begs to be developed further. Perhaps another bass line could be added near the end, and then add some string accompaniment? Just spitballing here. Good work.

Sylentium responds:

I like that suggestion though with this piece and as lazy as it sounds, I prefer a more minimalist approach to produce a more broader ambient sound that lets the mind wander.

[My Mind's a Dream]

I like. Definitely invokes the description provided. I will sequester this to my bin of soft ambient thingies, as those are surprisingly rare on Newgrounds.

Duskitten responds:

Thanks! Cool to know I'm part of a very small genre of music, will probably be making more soon!

[Sonar]

One can tell that a fair amount of love was put into this track. It could use more development though. Right now it is just a single statement, when it could be a whole stanza.

SI-7 responds:

I agree it could be longer and fuller, but after working on it for two days I had wanted to put an end on it rather than taking it in a new direction. I am unfortunately very spontaneous on whether I want to work on something or not, and if I hadn't put an end on it, it likely would have disappeared into my projects folder to never see the light of day again.

[Treacherous Fog]

The song begins rather weakly, but develops into a pretty good melody thereafter. I think if you tweak the start and the finish, you will have a real winner here.

SI-7 responds:

This was made from me trying to branch out on the plugins I use. I agree that it begins kind of weakly though, and that the end is somewhat lacking as well.

[Potipate Pour Potipote]

I quite like the subtlety of this one, though once again, I feel it does not end rightly. Perhaps a slower fade-out would have worked better?

etK responds:

Maybe I should improve on that, thanks for the review!

[LyokoWave2]

Excellent soundscape, senatus. You held the flow throughout much of the body of the song, though I think it could have used a stronger ending.

etK responds:

Thanks again !!
