Reviews for Root Beer Float

[Onefin]

Is this a good time to start my NGADM '18 favorites playlist? I think it is!

Stellar entry dude. All that work on the drops paid off, because they're excellent. Such intensity, such lovely chords, such BASS (YES THAT BASS), such vibrato. Love it.

I also do want to reiterate that the builds are excellent. I know you think builds are hard and they are but these are definitely good. Also, god, 3:05 gets me every time.

The foley is great. I'm really glad you added that newspaper at the end, that's a really nice touch. The pouring is really gentle and nice. The cafe sounds, super good. The way it's incorporated into the percussion really sells the "root beer float" theme. It's so tasty.

After NGADM, promise me we'll collab on something :3

Okay, I've listened to a lot of cool pieces here on NG, but this one has some sort of magical power, the good vibes are so powerful and that chiptune is so damn original! I really hope you'll do more of this style because you're so talented with that! ^w^

Miyolophone responds:

Thank you so much! I can't make any promises, but I'd definitely like to pursue tracks with similar vibes (energy?) to this in the future :)

omg...is it a coincidence that I get vibes from that OHC with the beer pics? Like it's got that jazzy feeling, but this obviously leans more on the sound effects, chiptune. I really liked that piece you did in that OHC488, and I like that this is like a longer drawn out version of that.

I'm not sure if I'm completely sold on the sound effects working for me, but I did enjoy the various instruments playing the melody. It's cool to hear that main repeating melody get broken up and played around with in terms of intensity. And whenever I hear a good sax solo, I'm required, by law, to give at least 4 stars. I love the different timbres and the mix of chiptune and acoustic.

Probably my favourite part was the jazzy interlude that kicks in at 1:58. Yet you combine this with such strange drums that don't really fit in with that part at all? I guess I would have preferred more traditional jazz/acoustic style drums there, especially since they don't really do much; they just sort of pop in for a couple seconds and then stop.

This was a pretty interesting example of developing a melody in ways that wasn't just compositionally, so I'm impressed you kept it engaging throughout. I wish you all the best in this next round of NGADM.

Miyolophone responds:

Thank you for the feedback RSK! I actually didn't have that OHC in mind but now that you mention it, I totally see it :O
