steampianist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ascension]

a very soulful performance and i think i have track with the same title hehe :)

the harmony is lovely though im not a fan of a concept of heaven the lyrics is still lovely
and some of the progression reminds me of ayreon

headphoamz responds:

Heck yeah, Steam! Thanks so much. ^_^ Also, dang! I didn't know you already claimed that song title. A dork is me.

[Mystic's Shore]

i think ive reached nirvana awesome track dude
asian music pawns western music anytime
i love the atmosphere and those gongs are lovely :) and as always awesome singing

good luck in this round dude

etherealwinds responds:

that's awesome! ;D thank you steamp! good luck to you too!

[The Clockworks Spectacle]

i thoroughly enjoyed this track. incredible composition man!

[I Swear, this is still science]

I love the idea

haha made me smile a bit actually. the intro was nice it felt like falling into a swirly void :)
though i think the song is panned too much on the left. and i think the transition towards the happy part could've been better instead of a glass breaking maybe the song can slow down like a vinyl and zooms back up to the happy happy part or if you want to keep the glass breaking you couldve put it in reverse then transitions to the jovial section.
just a suggestion

anyways nice track it can get better

[This is Not the End]

strangely enough this seems to compliment etherealwinds' track (agnos) i was listening to the playlist
and somehow it connected haha

anyways i love that tender piano at the beginning and even though its a miniature piano (which i prefer)
it contains different moods and emotion.

cant say much besides this is a really tender, cold, emotional piece well done (mayhaps providing some sheet music?) >:)

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks, Steam! Well, I am up against etherealwinds this round, but there's also a similar sense of melancholy and hope in our individual compositions. I hadn't actually considered any similarity until you mentioned it, so that's kind of unexpectedly cool. :D

Is it just the piano progression that you want? Send me a PM letting me know, as well as how you would like me to send it to you (email or whatever) and I'll see about getting you some sheet music. ^_^

[Agnos]

well i cant add much more since everyone pretty much said everything.
so let me just say this is simply spectacular

etherealwinds responds:

that's such an honour, thank you ever so much steamy!!

[Whiteout]

well i find this wonderful

and yes the melody does stick on you but though i wish there was another theme at the last part after the vibe/music box section or a different variation of the first theme :) and the percussions gives that impression of a snowy field, for me at least.

anways may fortuna bless you in round 3

SourJovis responds:

It could've been longer. Maybe I will add to it later.

[Ecosystem]

all i can say is.. this sounds wonderful :)

Step responds:

Steampianist! Yay. I'm really glad you think so. Thanks for the review!

[FD - Not Tomorrow]

ah this brings me back to my dark gaming (silent hill) days im a fan of akira yamaoka's works!

i love the arrangement and i love the fact that it loops. great work!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you very much, Akira Yamaoka is surely a great influence in my atmospheric pieces. Silent Hill 2 is still one of my favorite horror games along with a great soundtrack.

[the traveller]

.. writer's block is the worst i actually had one in the first week

anyway i really like the first half of the song its nostalgic to me
the melody is nice and the mood is relaxing.

the second half has it charms though its a bit disconnected from the first half but somehow it transitioned just fine.
its abrupt and abrupt isnt necessarily bad, mind you and sometimes an abrupt transition can work better than a flowing one :)
oh and i do love that egyptian theme in the second half so. 4 stars for me :) and good luck

johnfn responds:

Yeah this song is far from perfect. I wish I had more time to work on it, but what can you do?

Seems like I still have problems transitioning between moods...

Thanks for leaving a review.
