Syntrus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[LTM² Potentially Awesome]

All it is is marketing, I see by your bio you are in the US Navy first of all as a citizen of a NATO country thanks for your service. ok so you need to use that. You state that you are a world traveler and that instead of writing letters home you like to write music. You can’t have a brash user name because you don’t want to get in trouble.. ok that’s the marketing out of the way here’s how we get you some more views first of all a like from one of my ppl. I’m not sure slow info style music German sex Ed music is selling anymore on this website as a maker of that music as well I am outraged too! I have noticed that slower instrumentals with more of a break beat have been rising in the production music genres as hip hop beats out sell rock and roll. I love this song, I think if it were slowed down and if you found some brassy saw tooth sounds and messed with the score to an old naval films’ sound track preferably by midi and with manipulation these kids on this site would receive the same sense of adventure I’m recieving from your song now. You don’t have to take my advice I think you are a valid musician and the quick way you play shamisen or digital shamisen shows your chops. This is sooo close to a score for a flash cartoon full of ninjas I can almost picture it. It has so much potential. I’m going to do what I can to help you.

ListenToMyMusic responds:

Thanks a lot! When I listen to it it always brings back me back nostalgic to my Navy days. I have left since and work like a regular person now haha! Long live the AP, it's actually nice to see my score dropping since it indicates the AP is alive again.

This is the finest bit of nipple pinching or knob twisting I have ever heard!

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Well back in the day I WAS briefly known as "DJ nipple twist" (no I wasn't).

[Gravity Falls (spooky RMX)]

A fine use of reversing organs, and then this spooky melody hit me in the face I was enchanted excellent work all the best!

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

That's the effect I was going for^^
Thanks for the review.

[Elephantus Ex Machina]

I liked it

Happy blipz and bloopz and an elephant an excellent robots ate my elephant type experience. Is it odd that I can relate to this track?

StefBidz responds:

I don't think it is. If you can it means I managed to do what wanted :)
Thanks !

[Acid Paradox - Creepy Mansion]

Lol

Good stuff. So I couldn't help but notice you tracked me down on youtubes. LOL which is why I am here reviewing this track. I'm glad because what I found is a very well formed piece of audio, from start to finish. Because I am a producer of what do people call it "menu music", I do have some struggles with how varied and the opposite of repetitive it is. But as the picky fussy bastards on food network say about ramen noodle salad, I am nit picking because it was so good, and I couldn't find anything bad to say....

Just picking about at the pickled chili peppers now.

Rom nom nom, I think having a bit more of a soundscape in the background, to establish a setting, and theme... ROM NOM NOM would make this piece of music even better.. ROM NOM NOM NOM... Particularly at the beginning.

I think that this is the greatest asian salad...(burp) I mean piece of audio in the contest thus far. It has the Micheal Jackson spooky feel, it also has many modern production must's including dub step womp womp sounds. But I wonder if you played it to safe, I have heard it in the past from users such as psycho goldfish that everything sounds the same. Dubstep is one of those genre's where its like did he take any risks? Is he out of his comfort zone?

I think that in many ways you transcend the dubstep genre, I'm not sure if the judges will be able to make the same connection.

Excellent Work!

Acid-Paradox responds:

Thanks for reviewing my salad.

Yes i agree , i think it needs more condiment to make it fit with the restaurant's halloween theme.

Thanks for the recipe!

Radical

Excellent work the instruments were really crisp, you have almost a lounge sound. You really do defy genres. Excellent work. Peace Syntrus Out!

sonny7863 responds:

[JohnnyCrysis (WIP)]

This is badass

I love the attitude and it couldn't have been easy to get everything working set up not to mention playing all of the parts this sort of track takes work, and your effort pays out in spades excellent :D. the guitar was very heavy the drums were well played. Everything came together good show.

JackRocker responds:

well..it wasn't really as hard as you might think. it's a fairly easy guitar riff, i just programmed some drums and played it over it. the distortion/effects are done with amp simulators rather than real amps, so that part wasn't really hard either. for me, the hard parts are programming drums. glad you liked it though, i wasn't sure what people were going to think of it. i appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[Uneasiness]

Tubular

Very tubular meets modern electro. I like the effort displayed! good work.

treyhaur responds:

Not sure what you mean by tubular but thanks for the review!

Syntrus's Review

First of all thanks for the review. On to the song. This is a rather nice warm flowing piece with some really nice instruments. Like closing time at the club mixed in with some kind of atmospherics. I know it goes against the code of ambiance at times but I think some drums would really add some kind of a flavor to this. (you don't have to) I do not agree with mister bear as I I do not find it repetitive or boring. As much as I like mister bear. Anyone who took high school art knows that repetition creates unity. It also makes the song resonate with listeners as it will stay in there heads. This piece is powerful because it conveys a sad emotion that truely does chill to the bone. Add a little zazz and I would say best I have heard all year! But it is deff up there. :D Good Work.

RyanAvx responds:

Thanks very much for the kind review :D I've thought for a while about adding some drums to it, I should get around to doing that :D

[Life of a Twader]

MoonlitRaven responds:
