Prodigiza's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Guardians remastered]

Great! The emotions are great in every one of your songs, but i can't help noticing that the transitions between ideas in the song happen too quickly. I was introduced to a new idea every 10 seconds, and it didn't really give me anything to hold on to when the song was done, if you know what i mean. I guess what i'm saying is that in this kind of music, a reoccurring main theme is important. Each theme in this song could be split up into different songs, each with a theme. I know this was written a while back and is just being remastered, but it's just something I noticed. Also, the pauses in between chord changes are sometimes really effective, and sometimes they interrupt the feel of the piece.

Sorry for the criticism, it's a great song :)

BrokenDeck responds:

Remember that it's meant to be a film score, and does not follow conventional "classical" music structure.

[The Adventurer's New Home]

Like i said in my other review, there are some great ideas in this, and the wintry theme was great. I also loved the piano both at the beginning and especially at the end. I can tell you spent time on this. One thing i noticed was that many notes have accented velocities and it is a bit harsh to listen to. A dynamic range is great, but not so much that i turn up the beautiful soft parts only to be brass-blasted by the loud parts :D It would make your songs nicer and more professional-sounding.

Cheers!

[Strange New Worlds (2013)]

Very dramatic and adventurous! The one thing i noticed is that it's a bit hard to listen to on it's own, because of the slight randomness of the melodies that build the song, and the short stabs; in other words, I couldn't imagine an actual orchestra preforming this during some of the parts. However, there are some great ideas in there, and the title is Strange New Worlds, which is exactly what i envisioned when I heard this. Something that you did, that not many people do when they write orchestral pieces like this, is that you kept a consistent melody throughout the whole song. It glued the piece together, and made it seem less random.

Good job! (i'm off to check out your other songs!)

[Silent Night]

omg this is exactly how i play it! I play the piano by ear and this is the most natural way to play it for me

[Leap into Eternity]

lol one of the tags is "depressing"
nice song :) ive been to your website and you have great stuff!

[ECHO - Eyes Wide Shut]

the beginning sounds like when im gone by eminem :)
great song!

Echo responds:

Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback :)

[Playing Rabbits]

Amazing!!! Is there a way for me to obtain sheet music for this?

SoundChris responds:

Thanks a lot! Maybe i could make some sheet for the piano but it will take some time because i have got a lot of work right now. I will try :>

[Forgive You - B4M (FULL)]

i clicked on itunes once it was done because i forgot that it was a newgrounds song and not a professionally mastered song on itunes. Congratulations it sounds great :) however the part starting at 2:04 sounded a little too-side chained, and was a bit distracting. great work :)

BeefourMusic responds:

Thanks, would be nice to have this up on Itunes for everybody to find! Make sure you share it around facebook so your friends can get a copy for free too! :)

["The Last Ship"]

French horns are beautiful. It and the piano are my favorite instruments.

["The Last Ship" Short ver.]

Great song! really, i'm sorry i don't have time to write a review about how amazingly fluent and beautiful and emotional it is, but i was wondering what program you used to create it. Logic? Cubase? :)

BrokenDeck responds:

I used Cubase as my DAW, and EWQL as my orchestral sounds. The choir used is EWQL Symphonic Choirs. There's a also a bit of Project SAM Symphobia as well.
