I haven't seen that dude submit anything in forever!! I guess it is pretty tough living in China though right? This piece kind of makes you feel a bit of peace and happiness as well. Kind of makes you think of a 90s movie or a video game where something good is about to happen or everyone is preparing for the final fight.
The bass and drum lines were excellently timed here so thanks on that one. The synth and piano both sounded good here too. Really liked the nexus sounding build up used. Kind of sucks how it cuts off right as the nexus buildup is just about done.
Kind of has an ambient feel to it as well though. Almost as if as soon as you lay down in the grass you start to have a lot of vivid thoughts and images of how you got there and how life is going so far. Kind of makes you feel good but for me it makes me feel a bit funky anyways too.
The guitar sounded cool when I began to hear it play. The phaser effect you used here sounds pretty nice and kind of gives that weird effect as if you were floating on grass as well. The drums I hear also kind of make me think of a soft rock band.
The bass line sounds really pretty here. When the beat comes altogether it just sounds very nice and kind of makes you smile a lot as well so I guess that is something good you got going as well.
I can see this used in a music video with some cats simply roaming around in a back yard or inside a house just playing with each other and discovering things. Also cats with metronomes are always funny to me anyways. This tune is peaceful and seems to have gone over quite well too!!
The piano and synth work together and create a wonderful main beat that make you feel happy. I can hear some light notes playing in the background which sound pretty. The harp playing here sounds great and I liked the partial bass parts that I could hear here as well.
Overall, funky fresh out of the audio portal and I love it!!
Nice visuals you have for this little tune. I guess people are free to use it in their videos, so who knows ;)
Glad you think it all works nicely together. A little note though, all instruments are done with the same pluck synth, I didn't especially intend for them to sound like piano or harp or anything. :p
Reminds me of the main tune played for most of Resident Evil 2 and 3. You just never know what zombie, whore, or horror is awaiting behind each corner preparing to eat you alive as well. This tune turned out well and remained creepy. It is also an excellent loop. Kind of makes you not want to be alone in the dark if you are naked and unarmed at all.
The long ambient string notes paired with the long bass notes make the tune entirely creepy. I think if you had added some really fast sporadic piano playing near the middle and end it could have been a lot more creepy than what you did here. The drums are on time and help keep it creepy.
Hmm, I think that with more random piano notes and even random whispers every now and then would make it more psychotic. xD
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the great review
KKS
You did a pretty great job on this making it sound very up and happy here. The way it continues on as a loop seems perfect. Like how you used high end synth notes for the cat voice in this which makes it funny anyways, great work.
The drums and triple claps seem to work together as a beat and I seem to be enjoying it so this tune turned out good I think. The drums and synth lines also work good here.
Overall, meow cat remix!!
PS. Yea, the cat is saying meow really fast, not nyan. :C
Kind of enjoy reviewing audio a lot but I can never make awesome long audio reviews like you. Maybe we should collab on that sometime or something. Joking aside this actually sounds very classy and has a medieval town feel to it I think. That or could be used in a really weird music video I suppose which would be funny or something like that. The way the tune flows seems to be great and it loops without failing to skip a beat which is good to see here.
The tuba sounds great and I like the orchestra effect it has. The guitar and strings seem to combine into one and make a beautiful beat for a sad looking town wishing to be rid of their problems and thus a hero steps forward with an egg sandwich and eats it while getting a sword and preparing to get rid of the problem.
The piano sounds pretty good here. The flute was somewhat random but I enjoyed that. Lastly the drums create an excellent backbone for the song.
Overall, this is a great classical composition. Was it ever used in the game?
"Kind of enjoy reviewing audio a lot but I can never make awesome long audio reviews like you. Maybe we should collab on that sometime or something."
Haha, maybe so. But I don't write reviews. I write essays :D.
"Joking aside this actually sounds very classy and has a medieval town feel to it I think. That or could be used in a really weird music video I suppose which would be funny or something like that."
Music video? That's one of the more original thoughts xD. I'm glad you think it has that town feel to it. Some people think it's a bit too busy for a town theme.
"The way the tune flows seems to be great and it loops without failing to skip a beat which is good to see here."
I was told to loop every song I did for the game, so I'm happy I had success in that department!
"The tuba sounds great and I like the orchestra effect it has."
I think this is the first song I ever did which made use of a tuba. I'm glad I used it - as you said it fits really well.
"The guitar and strings seem to combine into one and make a beautiful beat for a sad looking town wishing to be rid of their problems and thus a hero steps forward with an egg sandwich and eats it while getting a sword and preparing to get rid of the problem."
That is *exactly* what I envisioned when making this song.
Well, minus the egg sandwich :D.
"The piano sounds pretty good here."
I'm a pianist myself so I love using pianos in my submissions. It's such a diverse instrument.
"The flute was somewhat random but I enjoyed that."
True, maybe I could've used it a bit more throughout the track rather than at the end only. Thanks for liking it though :P.
"Lastly the drums create an excellent backbone for the song."
Great! I've never made drums of this style before, but I'm quite proud of them.
"Overall, this is a great classical composition. Was it ever used in the game?"
Nah, they never actually finished the game, even though it was nearing completion and was coming out really well. I was a bit pissed about that because I spent months working on the tracks... :(
But thanks for reviewing. I really appreciate the insightful review!
This has that really down and depressing feel to it as well. I can see how this would be fitting for a break up anyways. The lyrics are real fitting so you did a good job there. It seems like you felt down but were putting a lot of emotion into it as well. This tune sounds really sad yet basic.
The lyrics and vocals here sound great so nothing wrong there. The two pianos are very wonderfully composed so you did good there. Then there is the bass line which kind of makes it sound sadder and gives a lot more rhythm. The drums sound soft and basic enough to be catchy here as well.
Overall, break ups are almost always sad. This tune makes you feel sadder yet better too.
Also got the original version of this as well. Just one of those tunes that makes you feel really happy. Another fun fact is if you slow down the video a bit it is NOT saying nyan but meow really really fast which makes most users think it says Nyan. Just thought that was funny.
You did a pretty swell 8-bit cover of this anyways. All the tunes and sounds are in the right place here so no quarrels either.
