SoliniaOnline's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sorcerers Path - Cale Unleashe]

I thought the production was very nice on this track. Very full and vibrant with a lot of good mixing. The part that bugs me is the generic sound of it all. It just doesn't have that unique melody or harmony to set it apart from any other cinematic boss music. I would love to hear a breakdown with some melodic yet dark tones. Something that you can think back to and remember easily. If your music just melds together in a game it ends up feeling stale. Otherwise good job.

SoundChris responds:

Thanks man - glad you liked it! Hm i think i know what you mean with "generic". But i think thats just the way the modern cinematic styles work. This here is quite similar to zimmers inception so i tried to check out also how this kind of style works. Usually i am more the late romantical inspired cinematic fan and adore goldsmith, williams and elfman. But its always a good idea to try out new things i guess :D

The thing with this track is that you face an enemy which cant be defeated in this encounter since he is overpowered and just crushes you. So the loop had to be quite short. To evolve a musical idea here would have become complicated i guess.

Thanks a lot for leaving your thoughts here!

[Glover Atlantis Realm 3]

Oh man, this brings me back. Glover was a great game at the time. Amazing sense of atmosphere to it, mostly from it's incredible soundtrack. Nicely done on this remix.

[Capes and Swords]

Sounds pretty awesome. If you want even more of that sonic feel you gotta make that bass line at least 3 times more funky though. XD

MrtheNoronha responds:

I will try it on the next one, thanks :^)

[Frozen With Time]

Awesome song. Very dramatic and atmospheric.

[Moonlit skyship - S1 [4.5]]

Spent yesterday listening to your stuff

Didn't hear all of it, but from what I did, your stuff is great.

Calamaistr responds:

hey thanks!! its great to hear compliments like this :)
I just uploaded more of this little sub project and will upload an ending theme (thats already finished) tomorrow aswell wich is a simpler version of the 3rd track (hot air balloon village)

[Exodus..ing..ism..er. (8bit)]

Very Zelda-y

Reminds me a ton of something you might hear in a Zelda Oracles game. And No matter what the collective idiot that is newgrounds votes your stuff, remember that it IS good.

Calamaistr responds:

thank you :)

[On The Surface]

Well then

The singer sounds like a mix of the one from Papa Roach and from Disturbed combined. I like it. Very nice song . Couldn't find anything bad about it. Nice job.

[Glorious Day [j-elecrock]]

Very nice

Composition and Arrangement is very nice. I think this could benefit from some better mixing/mastering, but that's a minor detail. The synth choice has a very retro videogame sound to me. Still sounds J-Pop/Rocky to me, but also like VG music.

[Nintendo Party]

Yup

I feel like House has always been about getting a lot done emotionally with very little instruments. This accomplishes that very well. Simple, shot, but good.

[I Think, Therefore I Am]

In terms of Voice Acting

This isn't too great as it is an effect placed on what might be normal vocals. While the effect is pretty nice, it also really isn't Voice Acting per say. Though it is still pretty entertaining, though I don't think it should be at the top of the drama voice acting rankings.
