Aisnon-A's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unlax]

A short yet well-constructed loop. The melody and pacing definitely brings out the relaxed tone of the piece, and the repetition does well in perpetuating the establishment. There are enough distinguishable patterns to maintain interest and preclude monotony.

One potential concern, though, is the relativity high-pitched eighth notes played in the background (An example demonstrating what I mean is the sound that comes in at the 16 second mark) They sound nice, add texture, and provide momentum, but their timbre (or perhaps pitch?) seems to contrast considerably with the rest of the instruments and disrupt the natural mood.

The effect, however, is meager, as the mastery of the piece is high enough to submit such contrast as mere subjective understanding. Overall, great job!

OK. Thanks for the detailed comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the music. :)

[Silent Tension]

Very immersive. The introduction was powerful and transitioned well into the the rest of the composition, which maintained the tension until the conclusion because of your dynamic yet controlled timbre. The end, though, could have probably been a technique other than a long, subtle fade-off, but it worked and sounded great nonetheless. A well-composed ambient song.

Thanks alot for the review! The points you bring up are really good and I strongly agree with them. Looking back now, I kinda wish I did something more with the ending than just that slow decrescendo but I was trying to do a "fade into the void" type thing. Anyways, thanks for the good critique!
