RedHotPoker's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Blood Fields}=-_]

Beautiful as usual

My mouth falls open as my ears are assaulted by the wonders you create. Truely masterful. Oh and i lied to you lol. I made a song out of sheer deprsesion as the revision mounted up.

Oh and alos i would very much like it if you would write a score for my movie i wil be producing over the summer holiday. It will be a live action horror/zombie piece. I would love for you to do it.

Love you. <3

MaestroRage responds:

hey, my first 100 songs were born from depression :D. MaestroSorrow was quite teh upset lil bugger. Now i've moved onto Anger Issues, hence MaestroRage, very soon now, the doctors will start pumping me with morphine, and lo and behold, MaestroJoy shall be born!!!!

I predict several dozen tracks of no sense...

I would love to score for your movie, but you are the absolute master in horror ambiance in my eyes :O! Of course, I will help you where I can.

Thank you for the review RedHotPoker, I am glad you liked it!

[Windtorn]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

Your ambiance is far superia to mine. Live with it.

>:C

(No joke this is superb stuff. Very haunting.)

LfunkeyA responds:

woah, well it's not thaaaat great :). anyways keep it up.

[Temple in the Forest]

Reminds me of......

The X-files. Sort of drifting and eerie. Good stuff. I think that if you were going for menace you could have perhaps loweered teh tone of the drum a bit but as a piece o general music it is superb. I love the way it occasionaly breaks into something totaly different goodstuff. Pls check my stuff.

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

Much appreciated man..I will def. check out some of you work. thanks.

[Goofing off]

Nice

Very interesting work. I love the way that the drums just occasionaly stop. I was dissapointed that the string synth stopped. That would have been wonderfull had it flown through out the whole piece. Nice happy melodies. Reminds me of old 8-bit games. Good stuff man. Pls chack out my stuff.

Rad responds:

Wow thanks for the review! I never thought about bringing the string synth all throughout the piece but I'll think about it when I make my next one.

And I'm definitly checking out your works.

[_-={Wrath of a Broken Soul}=-_]

OOOOOOOOOO

If i were to stab some one i would want this in thet background. Epic work as usual. And tehn it drifts into a slow choir. The remorse after the killing me thinks. :)

And then you swell once more into a climactic finish. Wonderful. Love the abrupt ending really adds a extra wow factor.

I come to the portal for about 10 mins and what do i find? you've submitted another masterpiece. Good stuff.

Oh and last time you responded you asked me if i was to be makeing any more music. The answer is no. Not for like 2 months. GCSE's to revise for, and i can't find my bass speaker or my mike. (stupid dad hideing them.)

Nice work old boy.

MaestroRage responds:

:O!

Stab somebody?! But what if they were totally wearing Kevlar armor?! WHAT IF?!

The imagery you had is pretty close to my story, there is indeed the anger, the frustration first, then the sorrow and regret, and then the absolute conviction.

Also, although i'm a little saddened to hear you won't be making anything for 2 months, I respect your choice. After all there are things in real life that just demand absolute attention.

When you are back into the creation scene, please let me know! I will gallop my way to your page!

Thank you for the review RedHotPoker, i'm glad you liked it! Keep up the good fight!

[_-={Victorious Day}=-_]

Very battle-esc

Very nice. Proffesional game standard music again. Reminded me alot of Kameo elements of power by rareware. A very interesting song. How do you create the long sweeping strings and the almost religious choir's? There very nice. It loops perfectly which adds to the effect. Lovely stuff as always.

MaestroRage responds:

the religious choirs are from many choirs being blended together, and the sweeping strings are like the choirs a blend of different strings. There is a raw sounding string synth I used that really gave it a neat boost in the right feeling, so I totally kept it, adopted it, raised it, even sent it to daycare.

It would loop better if it didn't have that build up at the beginning. Originally that beginning was not there, and was meant to be used as a form of intro into the battle and the rest would remain constant. We decided against that and in the actual game it's not like this. I just threw it in there cuz I like the buildup :'(

Thank you for the review RedHotPoker. I believe I have some pieces of yours I was meant to review, but never got the chance. I'm hoping you've got some more excellent ambiance for me!

[Glib - Brochet]

Interesting

I like the very none liniar patterns you've got going on here. It is awfully interesting. You switch from peacful guitars to glitchy drum and base at the drop of a hat and it sounds orgasmic. Did you play hte guitar yourself? Good stuff. If i was to have one complaint it would that it was a bit muffled at the start but i guess thats because of the upload limit so you had to compress it.

Glib responds:

Thanks for the review. I played harmonics on my guitar and recorded them :) Then I manipulated them. muffled at the start? ill check that out.

thanks!

[The Monotony of the Undead]

Wow

The begging ambiance was among the best i've heard. And then those wonderful beats came in. You are a wonderful artist. You weave melody into every thing you do. Also i notice that almost all of your new tracks have nothing. A good way of gettin attention is to lurk on the forums and such. People learn your name. Your name desrvs to be learnt.

LfunkeyA responds:

woah! thanks. i didn't expect this track to get a positive review. well i'm trying. soon i'll be gettin Reason, maybe trial v. or something, you should check it out, would make your ambients even greater. anyways, keep it up.

[_-={Sunset Requiem}=-_]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

When ever i find out you've released a new song i littarly drop what ever im going and come running. And today you haven't dissapointed. A wonderful sweeping score. Amazing stuff. Sensative
yet powerful. Although i have to question why there is bird song through out this piece? It doesn't by any means detract from the piece i am simply curious. A fantasticly emotive piece. Pls check my new song if you have the time.

MaestroRage responds:

Whenever I release a song, I generally drop things as well! First I knock over my speakers for doing nothing for me (all work done through headphones), and then I punch out my keyboard, because I mean, what the hell is wrong with it!?

Then I run away from the PC abuse cops. Run by Microsoft... go figure!

To answer your question, the birds are there for not only to please the ears, but to also tell the story.

The image I had for this piece is as follows.

It is during noon, the time where the sunset is most brilliant. The earth, the sky, all painted with a the hues of red, orange, dark yellow making it all truly serene. Underneath a large tree, with the light filtering through the leaves, there are rays of light dancing on a tombstone.

The birds are there to enforce the whole setting.

I will check out your new work right away! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[-Orr- The Pharaoh's Tomb]

Wow

This blew me away. I was just sat down listening to the beatles and then came across this and you knocked me sideways. Every thing is perfect, the organ is wonderous and as for the industrial sounds well there simply astounding. Do you play the guitar as it is also a fantastic part to this song? Hell in most songs there is usualy only one (if that) great thing happening at once, but you manage to cram in 3 outstanding sounds in at once. You are a god to me. Lovely stuff.

DavidOrr responds:

I don't play the guitar, I did some modifications to the "Hell Spawn Guitar" patch in Reason. Although it doesn't quite sound like the real thing, I think it's a pretty decent sounding patch.

Glad you enjoyed the piece!
