Jay-Turner's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Path to the Eilan Tree]

Beautiful! It really carries emotion all the way through it, I am really impressed. I think if anything this music produces a lot of colour, almost romance I think - especially as the strings kick in at around 30 seconds. Well done! :)

SilverPoyozo responds:

I'm very happy you think so, I was trying my darndest to get something very expressive and colorful out.

[Talos]

Just those few opening notes really set the mood for the piece. The piece is quite peaceful almost to listen to, and yet it feels like its hinged on an element of tension - I must say I like that! Really good music! I wish you good luck in the competition :D

TheBenjerman responds:

Thank you, good sir! Good luck to you as well! ^_^

[Pareidolic War]

I really really enjoyed the build up at the beginning as it leads towards the piano, very emotive and it just sounds so 'layered'. The progression and pace of the piece is just right too. The music is great and I really enjoyed listening to it :) Good look in the competition!

Phonometrologist responds:

That means a lot man. Thank you.
Here's a secret in regards to the build up...just in case one isn't aware of the technique: it's really the same piano that is heard in the piece but reversed and time stretched. ;-)

[Revelation]

I really feel the atmosphere in this, it quite effortlessly absorbs whilst listening to it. I think thats a great character for music to have. The quality/clarity is great, I love the percussion.

[Ira de Deus Mechanicus]

Really interesting! I love the mixture between the orchestral sound and electronic. I'm impressed by the variety of sounds in here and I like the female vocals at 1:37. I can imagine this being in a futuristic action scene from a movie or game. I also like the bit at 2:04 onwards where the piece builds back up again.

I really enjoyed this, a unique style! Good luck in the competition :)

[The Sad Clown]

This is great, it really makes me feel like I'm expecting something to happen, as if its leading up to a scene in a movie (A reaction of the sad clown). I love the clown 'squeeks' added too.

[The Shaman Transcends]

Wow! I am really impressed that you recorded all of this yourself, it's incredible. This is anything but dull and the quality is amazing!

samulis responds:

Thanks man. :)

I hope to put up more of my recording stuff eventually. It's a lot of fun and a good break from traditional composing.
