ForgottenDawn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Carol of the Drum ~ Troisnyx ver. ft. Spadezer]

I've never quite heard a version like this before. I can picture you smiling while singing those parts and pounding on that drum, amid the shakiness and breathiness and all those little nuances and quirks that make your performance all the more human. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and may the upcoming year be merrier.

[Cloud Castle]

It's a nice debut. Good luck on your new endeavor!

[Adaptation]

This slaps, man. You're only one of the handful of people I trust to make good use of those hybrid production libraries, haha. Can't tell you how many AAA producers are afraid to just layer them creatively. That, and the fact that the song never feels like it drags despite the length.

zybor responds:

Thank you for dropping by FD, how are you doing lately? :)

The thing with hybrid libs that they would eventually sound the same after a few uses, so to reuse them you would find some way to make them sound interesting. Maybe it's because the silly me doesn't look at music as a product or challenge and more of a fun thing to do. Every new project is something interesting and how to find a way to make them unique and expressive. It is just something I enjoy a lot.

My production took influences from IDM artists that you introduced to me while back, Aphex Twins, Four Tet, Solar Fields, Telefon Tel Aviv, Max Million, Venetian Snares and especially Stefan Torto. There is just so much creativity in all their works.

Thank you for your review! :) Take care. :( I hope you doing well, don't catch the virus.

[A Pat on the Back]

Definitely has an old school early 90's house vibe, reminds me of early Biosphere. The genre itself is pretty fun, I also experimented with it. Really not bad for a first attempt.

[Lucid]

Welcome back, Step. Missed your music. c:
I hope we can catch up someday. I'm glad you made this piece. Very pleasant and well produced. This easily slips into my favorites.

Step responds:

FD! It has been a while! Really glad that you enjoyed the piece, especially since I can always trust you to be honest about what you think.

Hope things are going well on your end. Thanks a lot for the review!

This was fun to work on a whim like that. It's the best type of collabs. Thank you for the experience~

[#3 - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Beer has been Opened]

Thanks for the shout-out, folks. Good show, keep it up~

[#1: Send Us Your Moan Compilation]

Oh shit, NG podcasts have just 1-upped. This sounds like a fun project to work on. Wish you the best of luck with your new endeavor.

[Abstract Land]

Bella! Industrial, ma allo stesso tempo molto organica e spaziale. Hai avuto modo di lavorarci su al nostro collab?

terroristimusicali responds:

Grazie mille! Qui sono tornato un pò sperimentale... ho suonato la chitarra con una scheda sulle corde... per il brano ancora non ho avuto tempo... sto facendo un pò di esperimenti video ma al momento non trovo nulla che mi affascini... se puoi spediscimi comunque il brano via mail così appena ho l'ispirazione ci lavoro su!

[🌆 #15: Audio Portal Roundtable]

That was a cool episode, I think KawaiSprite has a bright future on the platform. Not really feeling that "shameleon" guy though, literally couldn't shut up. I wish he had a timer. /s
