Mattashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Wishing Tree]

Beautiful! some parts reminded me of some of Nobuo Uematsu's work, like the bell instrument (not sure what it is) playing along with the piano and harp melody.
Very calm and nice to listen to.
Great work :)

JosephAS1 responds:

Thanks dude!, the instrument is called "Celesta" doubled with a "Glockenspiel" one octave higher in order to give it a "sparkly" effect :)

[Cosmic Stream of Life]

This is great! I'm really loving the melodies sounds like something you'd hear on the radio today.
I agree with EasyEvil the kick seems a bit buried, maybe you should bring it up a bit.
Good job, very catchy! :)

EctiBot responds:

Wow thx :D. Glad you liked it :). I'll try tweaking a bit around with the levels so the kick is a bit clearer.
Makes me happy that such an awesome musician as yourself enjoyed it :).

[The Nightingale Order]

Awesome track LunyAlex, this reminded me so much of Brian Tyler's work on Assassin's Creed V Black Flag. Nice work!

LunyAlex responds:

Oh boy. That's quite the compliment. Thank you; it means a lot.

[Sacred Chants]

Very Beautiful Emid :)

Emid responds:

Thanks. I have to restructure this song.

[Fox-trot Fletcher]

This is awesome, it belongs in a cartoon!
really love the cartoonish sound effects you added along in your song.
I think this is one of my favorite from the AIM contest so far.
Great work!

steampianist responds:

Thank you very much

[Destruction of a World]

I love this, it's minimalistic but that's the kind of music I enjoy listening to allot. Sound like something that would go great along a documentary or a movie!
Very nice work Popraz, fits the picture perfectly! Wish you much luck in the contest.

popraz responds:

Thank you very much !

[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! :)

[PWD]

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.
