The-Cupbearer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[26]

Really good ambient here. It's on the simpler side, but I could see myself accepting such a work into one of my own albums had I made it. I think this would work great in a Knytt Stories level.

[Maulve - Serene]

I think it has good fundamentals, and none of the instruments sound particularly off. That said, I find the melody and structure to be fairly uninspiring. The percussion is also a bit loud when compared to the main instruments.

[Gate of Bricks]

I think you have a good structure here, and the instruments you have in the first half are fairly nice. However, I feel like the percussion that comes in the second half is much too loud compared to the pads that play before. A little balancing to even out the song a little wouldn't go amiss, I think. Aside from that, I think this is a good piece overall.

[⅁ᴀʀᴅᴅɪᴇ - 𝕳𝖚𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖘 𝕰𝖋í𝖒𝖊𝖗𝖆s 𝕰𝖓 𝕰𝖑 ???]

This is a good effort, but I feel like the song is a little too overpowered by its main backing pad. The other instruments that come in later are difficult to pick out from the background, where I feel like it should be the other way around. Also, I'm not sure if your intention was for this to loop. If so, be sure to mark your song as a loop in the settings.

[Subtle Doubt]

This is a really well put together piece, with a lot of good variation in both melody and instrumentation. Definitely deserving of the front page. Funny, it's really hard for me to pin this to any particular genre, and I can see all the different attempts you made in the tags.

Only thing to note on the downside is that it feels like the two halves of the song are basically (if not exactly) the same. A little more variety between them would have helped.

Reddz responds:

Appreciate the review man, thanks for the feedback.

[In The Void]

This is a pretty good loop, with a lot of character. I don't really know how the posted art relates to it, but I could see this being used for some minimalistic platforming game. It has a mysterious stripped-down feel to it that I think would be good for a low-poly setting.

Soroosh83 responds:

Honestly I didn't had any art related to it so I just grab one of my drawings and slap to it.
Thanks for your genuine comment ❤️, I really hope my music can be helpful to somebody and not be just a waste, getting dust on my bookshelf, if you have any idea about how to reach it to people who more likely want to use tell me in dm

[garlic]

This is a decent loop for a background ambiance, but it needs more I think to become a full song. Right now, it has a hard time even justifying its 1:16 length. I'd like to see a more-developed version.

[Perspective]

Once again, I think this is really well done. The instruments go well together, and harmonize well. Would be very unobtrusive in the backdrop of some pivotal scene in a movie.

[Anecdote]

This is really well-put together. I could see this being used in some professional film or game. Not much more to say, really.

[The Dragon]

Really good droney ambient track here. Good progression. Reminds me of my early work, though much more refined. I'll check out more of your stuff.
