samulis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fun Teacher]

No harp from ERA this time? Also unimpressed by the lack of cowbell, the only important instrument in modern music.

I really liked how I could hear some of the Jon Babb in between the pop with those strings playing tensions. Such a characteristic yet always interesting sound. :)

Also jealous you are not my teacher. Come teach at Berklee! ;)

Bosa responds:

I do not teach music! I just teach it as an extra curriculum activity for my sixth graders. I doubt I am worthy to teach music anyways, lololol.

MOAR COWBELL

[My Missing Girl]

Gotta love the cluster chords. :D

Good work, though I wish the ending had a ritardando or something like that and faded out gently or something... the cut back from the "epicness" was too quick and rough I think.

Bosa responds:

You're just jealous.

Jk.. I'm gonna start working on an extended movement for this song tomorrow.

[Season's Greetings]

Very pretty. Makes me want to write music. :)

Happy holidays!

papkee responds:

thx much <3

[Ectopic beat]

I can't stop turning to check that no one is at my window now...

Phonometrologist responds:

Sorry. I'll try not to do that next time ;-)

[Teaching My Students]

NEEDS MOAR COWBELL! ;)

Nice sneaking medieval instruments into a song about the present day... you just can't get over that harp from ERA can you. I like the strings writing, it's very professional sounding!

I must listen to this while I drink tea, good sirrah! Now make sure you give those children a proper Victorian education! Don't cane them too hard, good sirrah, for they must be able to walk back to class the next day!

Bosa responds:

A couple of minutes in the stocks is usually enough to discipline the kids.

... jk

Actually, I treat them like they are angels! I give them the attention that they want, and in return they give me the finished homework that I want. It's a beneficial system that the United States economy should take notes on.

[Your Flashlight Dies]

NEEDS MOAR COWBELL! ;)

Nice textures... good ambience. Reminds me of the music in a certain side-game made using the Civilization IV engine called 'Final Frontier" wherein you were the leader of a galactic empire colonizing solar systems around the galaxy- it had that creepy unsettling ambient feel to it with bits of electronic sounding elements to fit the sci-fi feel (a track from it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QmzNZsxK3c).

I think it could have a bit more to it... more effects and hits to scare your pants off if ya get my drift. Now if only I could write ambient too...

headphoamz responds:

Thanks samulis!

[Pompeii - The Zero Hour]

Please give up and go become a professional film composer before I give up and become a fry cook. :P

Really top-notch, I love the subject matter too. I think the marcato strings the start sound a bit dry and lonely... maybe add more reverb or some stereo spread to them... or maybe that's just my headphones (using crappy ones right now).

Emid responds:

Hahaha cool...lol...but really glad you liked the piece as well as scenario.

Marc strings are from EW and I did threw some reverb on top. I will try to add more to it but yes I think stereo image should have been more better as of it right now. Thanks for the tip.

And thanks for the comment as always, Samulis!

[When The Clock Strikes 13]

This is so awesome. I love what you did with Miscellania! :D

steampianist responds:

thanks man
