This song was made using GarageBand, and while it contains no stock loops, there are still many preset instruments.


'Hardcore' 'techno' with lots of 'bass.'


nice song


Seriously, when I made this, I wasn't expecting to get it done in ~6? hours, nor did I expect it to turn out how I wanted it to. It's my longest song ever created (among my unpublished ones), and probably one of the best. I can proudly say... when I exported this song, I felt it ended up exactly the way I wanted, and that's something that some of my songs don't quite capture (albeit coming quite close).


I don't have much to say about it, to be completely honest, it speaks for itself.

What it's saying, that's completely beyond me. :)


This was originally made for a demo-type animation, and as such the animation wouldn't fit on Newgrounds. (I've been waiting to use that "nice song" joke for so long now...)

Important things first, perhaps you should use an audio editing software to normalize the volume of the music. The listening experience definitely gets better the louder the song is from the start (although you don't want to clip it unless you're into that or it's absolutely necessary). I recommend Audacity for this since it's free.

Other than that, I'd say it'd be favourable if the song had more variety than the single repeating melody pattern you got there. I mean you could compensate by adding more instruments or making it sound more varied but at the moment I keep hearing the same three tones, and by the middle of the song it becomes... well... to be blunt: boring. I also feel like the last drum bit felt out of place, or left the song sounding incomplete.

Nice song though, and congrats on your longest song!

Voxalice responds:

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it and hope to improve in the future.

Looking back on this song, I did find the problems you found with the song to be very prevalent. I don't have fantastic listening equipment at the moment, so I doubt I would've ever noticed the volume problem without being told about it.

The melody is a little too short and repetitive, and I went out of my way to try to make it sound less monotonous, but I may not have been as successful as I wanted to be in that regard.

Again, thank you for the criticism!
