Reviews for "SN| Riptide Projection |SN"

Honestly, you're getting better at this...

You're actually making glitch so good you're getting me to download it XD. Seriously, awesome job on this one; it sounds great. I've added you to my favourite artists list just because you make glitch awesomely enough for non-glitch fans such as I to download them :D.

You had the first half of the song consisting completely out of ambient and drums, so I guess there wasn't much of a melody there. The melody in the second half was really awesome and catchy though, good job on it. Maybe the first half could have a few high bells or some plucked instrument or something; not just ambient notes, since although in the first half the drums are obviously the main attraction, it'd be cool to have a little bit more of a melody along with the ambient pads. Still, not too much of a problem since the drums are what keep this track sounding unexpected and not boring, so melodies aren't that important.

The ambient pad you used was great, I wish I had ambient samples like that :(. The piano-like instrument after sounded good, I think it could do a little better if it had some delay to it, or at least a little more reverb. Other than that, I can't complain with the instruments. Lol, you're right, I think this is one of the first songs if not the first that I heard from you which doesn't incorporate an actual piano sample XD.

The transitions are really awesome, and the glitch effects you did in some transitions were very well executed. Just one problem. At 0:46 you did a really awesome transition, but 0:49, IMO was a little too anti-climatic if you get what I mean. What I'm trying to say is, at 0:49 I expected the song to reach a huge climax after hearing the epic transition right before it, but instead it continued with some glitch drums. Maybe over there you could introduce that fast-paced melody I was talking about along with some crash cymbal or something. 1:11 was an awesome transition though.

The song's structure is cluttered and all over the place, but I guess that's what I get from listening to glitch ^^. The variety is extraordinary, but it's those drums which kept the song from becoming repetitive and boring. You managed to vary them without them getting too random, which I quite liked. Intro was great; I liked that you started it with a reverse cymbal and then you went straight on to the beat and ambient pads, it sort of fits with the name for some strange reason. As for the ending, I rather liked it (and trust me, very few song endings leave me impressed :P). The last note had a little effect to it which sounded cool, and although the piano-like instrument did cut off a little abruptly, the ending was great. I also enjoyed that little sound effect you did at 2:19.

Oh wow, those drums... I can't believe you, or anyone for that matter, would ever have the patience to make drums as good as that. It must've taken you ages O.o. There were glitch effects all over the place, and the drums had a lot of variety. There was practically a new beat almost every bar. It was also interesting that in some parts you stuck with a clean beat and in other parts, it went all over the place with a glitchy and crazy beat. It added even more variety to the drums. Oh, and 0:16-0:24 had such crazy drums. I loved that part :D. You also put a lot of different effects and stutters on the drums, especially at 0:49-1:11. It was practically covered with effects. I also liked that at times you had a crazy beat and other times the beat was softer, for example 1:57. The drums were also the right loudness, they did sometimes dominate the melodies, but that's because they're the main attraction of the song, so no problem there.

Another glitch track from you (I'm still waiting for that Jazz song :P). I believe you're the best at glitch in the whole site, at least from the authors that I know of anyway. Really good job on this, it's one of the craziest songs I've heard in a big while XP. You also got me to download glitch again... (seriously, how do you DO that?) so great job! Keep up the great work!

WOW big review

the drums were the focus on the first halves, so the melodies were toned down a bit

i can help you get some pads if you would like

that anticlimactic part is a bit neccesary to me, since i dont really like haveing a climax at 49 seconds

the last notes effect was just pitch shifting downwards a bit, gives a hanging feel

glitch music is kind of easy if you know what your doing, i use a TON of automations to acheive the effects i wanna go for, and i guess ive just been doing it for a while xD

jazz is gona have to wait due to the contest i just joined

thanks for the review man, glad you liked it

peace out

Good sounding

I think that you've got a good sense of direction with this piece - it really does go places, without actually having a sense of travelling at all. The whole piece just seems to be a nice loop that encompasses additional instruments and parts to the original beat, but it could do with having a little more in that variation, just to make it sound like it belongs with the rest of the tune, in all honesty.

The secondary melody is good, but it just seems too far detached from the main beat and melody. I think that it could possibly be blended with those two parts better, as opposed to a straight swap.

SessileNomad responds:

we might be different on what were each saying is the secondary melody, but if your talking about the first parts with the crazy drums and the second parts with the clean drums, i did that on purpose, i kind wanted to build up tension then release it

we could be thinking about different stuff though

but yeah....thanks for the 9

xD

peace out

Very nice

I like the amtosphere this song creates. It's somewhere between "spacey" and "very relaxing".

The mix between ambient and Drum N Bass is still very interesting and it fits amazingly well in this song. While you go a bit crazy with the DnB elements the Ambient elements always sound very smooth, which creates a very nice contrast.
This keeps the listener interested and it also makes the song sound very unpredictable.

SessileNomad responds:

lol spacey and very relaxing, i didnt think they were different adjectives

im glad you liked it though

peace out man

great job

there is not a lot of good ambient drum and bass songs.
you deserve kudos.

SessileNomad responds:

kudos is hard to get

thanks

Solid piece

Drums: Sounds very solid and like it's getting reworked at some points by being backed up for a moment, very nice work there that was.

Piano: Sounds very nice and I really enjoy how it sounds with the drums, very cool and soothing it is.

Chorus: Sounds like just some girls keeping a long solid note help up and slightly moving it up at some parts, very nice as well.

Makes me think of just having to find something on a base inside a moon and getting there takes ages and whatnot, finally reaching the inner layers you get you came for before making a mad dash to find an exit GO!
