Mattashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stay in the Fall]

I'm a big Grunge fan and I loved this! the mix sounds really good. love how warm the guitars sound, and your vocals are superb aswell.
Awesome work Motakay!

motakay responds:

Thank you dude! Mean alot to hear that from another Grunge fan! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

Nice work Warhector! as Realfaction said this would be awesome for a boss fight.
It reminded me of Kansas aswell and a bit of Deep Purple too. I love those organs man!
Good job!

Warhector responds:

Thank you Mattashi! It's popular comment is it would be great as a Boss Fight Music (BFM). Could be a genre in here! The organs is real (kinda) hammond organ and I am huge fan of Jon Lord, Keith Emerson (recently) and Jordan Rudess. Which inspires me to get better at keyboard/piano playing! I'm glad you liked it man. Cheers!

[After Us (updated)]

Sound much better Thonz! and wow for only 2 months experience this is very impressive. do you mean 2 months of composing or music in general? (since you play the guitar).
I wonder how you will sound in a year from now! Just keep on composing man :)

Thonz responds:

Thanks! :) What I meant was I started making my own music 2 months ago. I've played guitar for some years already but I never really bothered to learn it that well. I just taught myself metal songs from tabs, but I didn't know any music theory or any chords or anything really. :P

Then I bought the MIDI keyboard two months ago to learn piano and learned some scales and chords as well and then started playing around with the free Kontakt samples and have since made a few of my own pieces.

[Gears keep turning]

Really love this piece, gives a great atmosphere and the percussions are awesome. It sounds a bit like gears/machines going to work and I think it fits the picture very well.
Good job!

OmegaP responds:

Thanks for taking a listen.

[After Us]

This is a great piece! Kind of gave me a "The Last of Us" vibe :) Really loved that part that starts at 01:57.
I have to agree with Emid though, lots of instruments seem to be in the center. don't be afraid to pan some instruments far left or right!
Great song! would love to hear more from you :D

Thonz responds:

I loved the soundtrack of The Last of Us, so it definitely influenced me with this and I'm glad it's noticeable. Means I'm doing something right :). It's really overwhelming to get such good reviews from great musicians like yourself and Emid. Thanks for taking the time to review my piece. I'll work on the panning!

[[Wr] 14: Epilogue/Credits]

Beautiful composition! A shame the game wasn't finished because the music is amazing, I hope other people will make good use of it.
Nice work Samulis!

samulis responds:

Thanks dude! Glad you liked it. :)

[Lost Ruin of Zodra]

What a beautiful piece! some of the melodies reminded me of some of Yasunori Mitsuda work.
Would fit perfectly in a game.
Good job :)

VideoGameManiac responds:

Thank you, I feel honored :D

[Rejected Trailer Music 2]

Very interesting sounds! Was wondering what is The Shelter about?
It sounds very dark almost horror like. A shame it got rejected, maybe someone else could make good use of it.
Nice work!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

It's all cool. The Shelter is a very unique movie...horror, sad, awesome. The score I did for the trailer should be released this week. And I get to score the whole movie, so I'm not sad. I am the composer. :) I have a few other tidbits of sound from other movie promos I could probably put here too, that weren't used. Cheers for the review, mang. Been a long time since I seen you about!

[Spacewalk]

Awesome track Mawnz, pleasant song to listen to, has a nice catchy melody.
I was gonna say the bass sounds fine to me but then I read you made some changes to it :P
I think the loop is a little bit off I think that's because the final bar doesn't end completely.
Nice work and good luck!

Mawnz responds:

hey glad to hear from you man! I made it cut off since it looped worse before, but yea it's very sudden so I should look into it. Glad it was pleasant listening to it at least!

Thanks for listening and the review, best of luck to you too!!

[Misty Ruins]

Nice work ET16, fits the title perfectly! would fit perfect for ruins in a game.
