IT GOT PICKED!!!

Well I picked this one, but this was the sixth I picked, so it wasn't first, but had it's share. This I have to admit is great. It has that tune you want to listen to, but can't really find anywhere else. Thank god for the newgrounds audio portal. Anyways I sorta heard another version of this you made. Anyways great job.

All tens, I loved this one

This one was really awesome, it was very original and was easy to understand, which rises the clarity score. Also, you used a lot of instruments which made it diverse, and this must've taken you a while, since it's so long, which rises the effort level as well.

I hope this review was helpful!

5/5

Awesome!

This is really neat, it's hard to find words to describe it. It has so many elements from so many different genres in it, it's a really refreshing piece (or perhaps that is just the water)!

5/5

haha woah,

Not at all what i expected mate, i expected it to be a celtic heavy track with some scritchy scratchy drums, this is cool man. Possibly too much bass in places, tho it could just be my headphones. I think the kick needs some limiting and or compression on it, tho i'll have to play this through my speakers again later to be sure (its 6 am and my parents are asleep in the next room)

I see what that guy means about the drums goin out, if intended its interesting, tho not pleasant, is that some vocoding/synthesised sounding speech i hear in there too? That sounds cool whatever it is, its very chirpy yet also atmospheric and kinda sinister, exciting sounding. Cool stuff man, i think the track could've been longer, n maybe fitted in one more style of writing or two in the track.

Triskele responds:

Thanks. This one does desperately need a remaster. It turns out the bass on my speakers has been way down for some time, so they may be far too loud. Still, this remains probably my favorite techno piece I've done so far.

Cheers.

Judge Review---||\SU-146/||

Alright, a different techno song. Use of other sounds instead of music that enhance the music and strings behind an upbeat of sweetness. Or is it. Read on!!!

Originality: Much different than what I usually hear. Rain behind the actual music, which I'll talk more about in the Clarity section. But it has an interesting pop to it, with the strings and the drum beat with. Though it's used out there, and your use isn't the best, you had more of an independent feel to it, which was really cool. The melody spoke of freedom, hope, and discovery of a new world. This new world was somewhat off track inside the city, but worked in a mediocre standpoint.

What I mean is, at 1:53 in your song, with the new melody, it seemed to get off track with the drums. Either you have this instrument coming in at a very aquard spot, or the rhythm doesn't fit in entirely. Putting aside whether you meant to do that or not, it wasn't entirely pleasant to listen to. If you better aligned it with the drums, it would be better off.

After that, you began to explore the jungles of the new world. This was defenitely the peak of your song, pleasent in every aspect. The rain at the very end sounded real, but at the beginning...

Overall for this section, you did alright. Some major improvements could have been done, but it still held out on it's own.

Originality Score: 18/25

Diversity: Yeah, good ol' Caribbean/Arabian feel with some cool instruments. It sounded really good too. I'm surprised that with all the instruments, that most of them were heard very nicely. Nothing entirely over the top, but some very useful stuff was used to enhance the song to be rememberable.

Once more, the strings held out nicely with the upbeat drums. The drums, by the way, were very diverse, cool use of most of the kit.

Good use of instrementation with melodies and the bass line are noted as well. Good job.

Diversity Score: 22/25

Clarity: No other sounds other than music, except for one thing.

At the beginning, you have to be careful using that rain. When it kept going without instrumentation support, it seemed to have more of a tin-foily sound to it instead of rain. Otherwise, you're good.

Clarity Score: 22/25

Effort: Yeah man, it was present and accounted for. It does seem you could have done a lot more at times, but overall, I was left with a decent impression. Not bad at all, but not the greatest either. Either way, though, good job working on this piece.

Effort Score: 23/25

Overall Score: 85/100

Good effort on this song. Hope to see more from yah!

Triskele responds:

Thanks for the rate, my friend.

The intermittent woodwind track was definitely meant to be completely off from the rest of the piece, and have a little weird synchopation with the drums. I like how it turned out, sorry it didn't suit you.

And I see what you mean about the rain...with the smooth synth it seems a bit off. I'll remember that the next time I fall prey to my rain obsession :D
