Bosa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[rekon_X - Self Rehab]

Wow, excellent ambient music! I can definitely see this being used in a flash production of some kind. It's also kind of nostalgic, because I used to listen to this kind of stuff back in highschool after I had a bad day.

Five stars and a five vote!

[Guitar Noises]

My life is complete!

[The way we are]

Very emotional, indeed. Of course it's difficult to listen to this with the same perspective as you, but I can clearly hear the romantic vibe you're portraying throughout the entire track. But at the same time, there is a faint sense of loneliness I think. This could be played at both a wedding and a funeral.

Excellent work, as always. I don't have to sweat or fret when I'm looking for quality music, because your stuff is readily available to me whenever I'm seeking a certain musical mood. Your work is great, and I hope to be more like you someday.

MarkySpark responds:

You have no need to aspire to be like anyone YOU ARE BOSA! and you're works are truly magnificent my friend.

[_-={At Peace}=-_]

As always you never fail to meet the high expectations, my friend. I hope to see more of you around here once again. Also, it's good to see that your style has not been affected. You still create music from within your own creative character.

I hope to encourage you in the near future and I hope to see more submissions as well, old friend.

[Onyx Heaven]

It's great!

The only downside to this is the bass drum of some sort (a taiko perhaps) that's being repeatedly played in the background and it's massively overpowering everything else in the setup.

I must say, however, that this is an excellent first attempt at cinematic greatness. Don't let any wannabe musical punks tell you otherwise. I'm not a master of cinematic music by any means, but I can at least give you my honest perspective: you're doing an excellent job.

Lich responds:

Thank you for responding :)

I'll remember to tone-it-down on the Bass Drums in the future. I kind of went overboard on it just because I love the sound of it but playing around in the sequencer with it at the moment, it does sound better when I make it sound slightly softer and take out some of the quieter hits.

[soviet cartoon]

This song gave me a toothache.

[Rain in the Winter]

Your typical electronic track. It was pretty much what I would expect, and it is quite good as far as quality is concerned.

Of course drumbeats in these songs are almost always repetitive, but it would be nice to hear some more fills and some more dynamics there. But overall, I liked the song. The instruments were quite soothing despite the drums.

One question, though: Why 'Rain in the Winter' for the title?

I will voteth five, my good sir.

pfrequency responds:

Thanks for the review! Drums are definitely something I can improve on, I agree with you on that. The title I just kind of spontaneously chose because of the weather where I live. I feel like snow is the only good part of cold winter, rain in the winter is just depressing. My titles are never very profound, lol.

[-The Journey Home-(Piano)]

What rubbish. How revolting.

Just kidding... I hope I'm reviewing the correct song, but even if I'm not, I must say that you are truly impressive. You know how to affect emotion in your music, and that is a sought after gift for any type of musician (most dudes don't realize what a great quality that is to have). I can feel the emotion in your sequencing/playing style, and it immersed me into a story that only I could think of.

Something keeps bothering me though. I could have sworn I judged a different song than this. I mean, this is the right song.. but it seems different than the one I judged. Oh well. I may be so daft that I'm missing something quite obvious, I don't know. I'm absent.

But anyways, the only things that caused me slight discomfort was the instrument quality. I know it's piano, but I felt as though it was being played on an electronic keyboard. Not such a big deal, but it would've been nice to have heard a live recording of your piano performance.

Otherwise, good show. The emotional effect was this song's greatest strong point. But DANG I feel like I'm reviewing the wrong song for some reason. Oh well.

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

That's cause you are reviewing the wrong one, this is the piano only version. ;3

The version I submitted to the contest was submitted right before this one.

But regardless... yeah... I can't play this live, I played the base of it, but then added stuff as necessary to fill it out, cause I'm not that great of a pianist and can only play so much at a time. But the samples are from a real piano... although I'll admit I probably didn't humanize quite enough to really give it a live performance feel... cause I'm really bad a humanizing.

Regardless... glad you liked it!
