Stealth-Emergence's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lighten Up]

Overall, there's a lot of nice ideas in here. instrument selection is varied enough. This piece has a good, steady pace and for me I feel that it needs to go somewhere! There's some good breakdowns, one of which being (what I would describe as) Breathy which formed a part of a nice build up.

All in all, the things I mention could have more done with them. I would say that I think there needs to be more variation in here. There's that (three part, two part) two note recurring instrument which plays for too much of the track, introducing a bit more to that, some subtle variations throughout would have made it more interesting to listen to. then at around 1:34 there's a bit of a breakdown (the first of two?! or three?) This was a nice transition and it did include something different, perhaps would have been worth trying something a bit more removed from the part that came before, but you wrote the piece and this transitional element did work for the rest of what's here! I'm a stickler for variation though, even subtle ones can make for an interesting listening experience. Then, shortly after this change you revert back to what came before, which I won't fault, but again If you could have done more with that part initially, going back to it again would certainly have decreased it's overall repetition. But It's a nice piece, don't think I'm hating on it, just trying to be constructive and I hope you continue making music.

[Video Game]

Cool, This is really good I liked it

Fuzzy-L0g1c responds:

Thanks!

[Give it]

So, here I am. I started the track and my expectations from, say the first 10 - 20 seconds and my thinking went something like this:

I wasn't expecting much, those first 10 - 20 seconds had me thinking this was going to be a dull, uninteresting piece, firstly because I've never heard your music before, I'm kind of assuming you're new (will check your profile deets in a moment, possibly more of your music too)

So anyway, I keep listening to the track and it flourishes. for the first minute or so of the introduction I was thinking there perhaps wouldn't be much variation but you've surprised me on that count too.

It's a very interesting piece to listen to with a good solid arrangement of instruments and sounds

I'm gonna check out your other stuff now

Awesome

5/5

TheShowGuy responds:

hahaha sweet im glad i surprised you in the way i did, thanks Stealth!

[They feed on fear]

Hey man, this is truly awesome! I like the little bit of background to its creation also.

Oh man, this makes me wanna pick up my axe and thrash out some tunage with it, but it too will probably sound much like your guitar here (although probably worse)

Anyway, on to the review, the riff you play throughout on your guitar is dirty and gritty and has a nice pace, certainly feels right for the tags you've appropriately given the tune, I believe it would work well in some vampyritic or zombie-laden apocalyptic scenario

Kudos

Like it, I wanna hear more from you

mistarogerz responds:

Thrashing your guitar is a great idea! I also like your idea of using it in some vampyritic or zombie-laden apocalyptic scenario. It's Saturday so I know something will be going down. Maybe I'll meet a real vampire tonight. Thanks for the review.

This is an interesting piece, rather quirky, a nice arrangement, pleasing to the ear, you could easily listen to this play away whilst you thrash out some hours at some game for a while.

really good

5/5

faresmusic responds:

Thanks!

It's good to know that people do like simple and calm music, too!

[Tetris (Dubstep Remix)]

This is actually pretty sweet.

Before Starting this review, I initially listened to your track and was impressed from the off. then noticed you're currently unscouted, so, before writing this review, I figured I would do some research.

Basically, this track is just too good, can't find it anywhere else so that leads me to believe that you have in fact composed this track, hats off, it's good!

I've also heard shitloads of dubstep tetris remixes now as a result, didn't know there were so many.

But yeah, so anyway

Good track

5/5

Will scout you too, would like to see more music coming from you

[Qui manducat]

This is beautiful, really like this!

Oh yes I would definitely be up for a collab

Where do I sign?

Stealth

Troisnyx responds:

Where do you sign (what)? o.O

At any rate, we'll talk about the collab on your newspost -- and continue from there, hopefully. : )

[Better Left Unsaid]

Just listened to trigger, really liked it so thought I'd check out some of your other stuff.

The song is good, your singing's good, the musics good.

I think this could do with a little tweaking in the mix sound wise. Some of the levels need raising and general bit of tidying to get it sounding a little less muddy.

But won't that hold that against you for yet another good tune.

Keep it up

5/5

crimsonkid responds:

Thank you SO much for the positive comment!
We are in the process of recording our own stuff..which is a little hard with no experience..haha
but we'll get better on our mixing soon.

Thank you!

[Trigger]

That was simply epic.

Good song and good music

5/5

crimsonkid responds:

Thank you very much!

[The Smell of Summer Seashells]

This is a really nice, simple, atmospheric piece.

It has a nice, steady rhythm accompanied very nicely by the sounds of the oceans waves in the background! were they added after recording the guitar part or did you do it simultanously (sorry just wondering what your recording process was for this track tbh I'm curious)

But so anyway, I like this track

5/5

HalfStepTides responds:

Thanks for your feedback! The recording process was a bit interesting because it was intertwined with the creative process too. In fact, I'd like to think of the whole song as an improv piece because I hadn't written anything in advance before I went and pressed the record button. I tracked the rhythm guitar first and proceeded to layer the other slight mid-ranged guitar and then the lead in succession. Afterwards, I mixed the three guitars together and then created the soundscape out of seagull noises and the ocean waves.

I'm glad you liked it!
