Bosa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Make it Rain]

Hm..

I would recommend you to my partners in music, so they can also take a listen to this piece. I believe this to be a great work and a good forward move for your music. This time, you've taken a strong turn and that's what I like to see in musicians. Yet, I'm quite familiar with these samples.. Roland is definatly not my favorite company for making music. You see, Roland has had a bad past with the samples either being too slow for the right occasion, or the repetition of the sample's tone and tunes a bit too.. well.. repetitive. But, despite all this, you may have proven something out of Roland's keyboards and management properties. You seem to let out the lead with power. Now, I will describe my emotions felt towards this song you have produced (with greatness I might add.) As the music begins, I can already begin to feel a sad loss in somebody. Appearantly, the father of the lost son. I can tell you that the scene that is hown in my head is full of light and great storms of rain pouring upon his face. His tears falling from his eyes like the wells of heaven. You would see a gray sky and the trees blow lightly, but violent in manner. The cameras begin to focus on the father and his complete saddness and love for his son. Such a bond has been broken, and now.. we will cry.. cry silently inside.. waiting for a hope or sign. We will sit in our chairs watching such a scene and we will never forget what is truly precious to us. We will never forget to always cherish and use what we have now to help all we can. We will never forget this father that lost his son.. no.. his whole life to something so silly and sinister. A loss like this is what will rip a man apart and throw his hopes away. This is what will kill you inside and llaugh at you while you look down in failure. I believe this is what I feel about this song, and you have helped many fell emotions in which they have never felt before. I believe you have something ahead of you.. and I am ready to look out and make sure you get where you are looking to go. You, my friend, are a musician.

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Umm....I don't know if you read my past responses to reviews on this before you wrote, but I established that I used the Edirol Orchestral VSTi and not a sampleset.

Thanks for the review, though.

[Immortal Crossings]

You are talented..

It seems Newground's quality does not match your song's quite perfectly, yet this song does give me quite a few images. First, I see as if a young, lost soul is walking through a snowy park.. looking through cold and seeing what is beyond happiness and sorrow. He begins to look up at the sky.. hoping for a new life, then.. church bells. He looks down to the ground, and sees exactly what crime he's commited. That crime is murder, and only now is he beggining to run. Running from the truth, running from the pain, running from fear. His pace is kept high, and he dissapears in the distant fog and snow. As we sit and watch, we wonder.. is man truly running and getting away, or is man running into his own demise and traps. Does this mean every time we hide from something, it makes it urge to get out, and hurt even more? I cannot say, for your beliefs are your own, yet I love this piece and I say that it is great indeed.

Well Done

Aresdev responds:

Wow, that is really deep! Didn't think of it like that while I was working on it, but you bring up some interesting points. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the rest of my work!

[_-={Dark Skies}=-_]

Oh..

I just so happened to come across this one. The score was something I do admire indeed. French Horns and bells is quite an intersting mix of instruments. As much detail you have added in these layers of instruments, I'm sure you put some time into this. I'm also sure you had a blast while doing it. Hm.. that Irina Brochin sure is handy isn't she?

If you're looking for a story like you always add in most of your reviews, I have one for this piece.

"The skies are of the darkest gray.. the thunderstorms are heavy in sound.. and the rain.. pours with the death and anxiety surely to soon come. Soon our hero is looking upwards to these skies whilst waiting upon his lonely fort walls. At long last the ultimate tale will soon unfold. As the hero tightly grips his long, steel spear in hand, the dragon pours from the gloomed skies with vicous roars sounding as loud as the thunder above. Its eyes glow red from the hatred and death of many men. As it closes in, our hero stances ready and waiting for the inevitable. Of course he will not survive this, but he is at a hope to see his fellow comrades in the next world. The dragon swiftly scoops down breathing fire from its nostrils at the shaken hero. Our hero was able to launch his spear at this godly dragon, yet in turn, losing his life. While the dragon screams in hopes to ease the pain from its pierced heart, it falls ever so deeply down to the dark bottom unable to be seen. So both the hero and the dragn fell, yet the contact was a great show in maddness and also hatred for another. Oh the bagpipe'n play, so the hero is now in peace."

After my solitude was over in writing this short story, I was able to see more in this song than what was played. Perhaps their is more to music than samples and fast paced techno.

MaestroRage responds:

what an interesting story! Truly it showed me a great and vivid scene, and truth be told I had never imagined the hero being killed, a noble and honourable sacrafice on his behalf for sure!

There is always more to music then samples and techno, even techno pieces have the power to tell a story, just not with as much clarity, and more abstract. I have yet to create a golden melody which I feel is out there. A song, a story that can move somebodies mind to such large degrees... I wonder if such a song could ever be made, what with music being so subjective, but it is a goal I have set for myself, and one I will tirelessly persue.

Thank you for the review and story Bosa, truly it was an interesting one. I'm glad you liked the piece.!

[{dj-N} A Late Christmas]

To leave a good word..

I just happened to come across this tune while wandering around the classical section. I must congratulate you on your first attempt at a classical. Quite well, but a techno style close to the end doesn't match at all in the classical genre. That added some diversity, yes, but lost point in originality. Yet, with that aside, I can easily see your first attempt in here, and it was a good attempt indeed. There is much to learn if you are planning to stick some more classical tracks in your arsenal. But, you do what your soul thrives towards. If anything, I've learned that to continue after failure is to continue on the road for success.

dj-Nate responds:

Wow. I don't know what to say man, that was.. INSPIRING. Thanks ALOT!

[Down the Road]

Yep

I grew up and remain where bluegrass rules. Even though you didn't match it perfectly, you still did as good job. Maybe if we ever the banjo in soceity again, which I'm sure all we'll see is a guitar, we will find truth and meaning within music. You sir, you put all you can in this song, and it actually has some meaning in it. I'm not a big fan of rap, and I probably never will be. They say this and that, and it's done. Well, bluegrass adds flavor in your life. It'll change and it'll grow. Boy, I'm glad I live in the south. That's where the good stuff sits.
