Eerily reminds me of the song from Exasperation, if you play GD. I like the glitchyness of it...
Reviews for "Voice In The Dreams (1f1n1ty Remix)"
scary
So, this is experimentation. It sounds weird, not sure I like it. It started off well I was hoping it would stay on that path. So, I'm not good with new wave so my comments aren't very enlightened, bare with me.
After a few listens, I can tell you were going for some kind of glitchy/creepy thing which i can totally get. There were other ways to get that effect though. You shouldn't overlap sounds too much. Even if it's new wave, there is a line you shouldn't cross. Near the end it was only noises and nothing else. For like a second, I can follow. But it lasted a bit too long :/ .
I do love your glitches. They sound really good. Consider moderation though. This is just a mismatch of effects, which is correct if you don't get annoying. New wave is a dark territory which few dare to explore. Just make sure you thread the right path. You still want to make music here.
Again, I am not familiar with new wave, I might be repeating myself, but these are my thoughts. This review might be completely useless but eh, I do what I can.
Careful of where you go, you walk a dangerous path.

In the end, this piece was an experiment. I wrote it to test all the ways I could make sound effects and see which ones sounded good. The beginning used a variety of glitched sounds with reverb, some of them reversed, and some processed percussive effects with no real rhythm written on the piano roll. The middle section used gross beat gating and reversed renders, and the end section was all putting a sound effect in Serum, LFO'ing the crud out of the wavetable, and writing random notes in the piano roll (and also some Slicex-chopped drum loops). At that point, moderation was really just out the window, in favor of simply trying everything.
I only uploaded this to Newgrounds because it had such good reception over on Youtube. But it's clear that my initial intuition was still correct over how the song would be treated here - badly.
Thanks for the review! You helped shed some light on this experimental piece and what I should try to accomplish in the future.
now if you labeled this horror, I'd give it 5 stars cuz this song sounds like shrooms grinded to dust and injected into a schizophrenic drug addict.
Otherwise this song is cool and give that nice sp00ky feeling, not like the entrance to a new world, but like a dark room in the wood where you stand considering whether to enter. But as you stand there contemplating, standing outside the door becomes even spookier
Gives me an idea....
Onefin responds:
Maybe horror would have actually been the better option. Or even experimental, for that matter - why is this new wave? Gonna go change that.
This was in fact completely 100% an experiment to see what kind of sounds I could make with a new glitch sound library I downloaded. I'd say I learned quite a bit, even if the result isn't very pleasant to the ear.
This reminds me of that one song...
