SourJovis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Wishing Tree]

Very fairy tale like. I like the Asian style. Is that a real flute? If not it's some realistic sounding sample pack. I like the legato.

JosephAS1 responds:

Thanks man, it is indeed a real flute

[Sacred Chants]

Nice song. Very tranquil and hypnoticing. I like the bells in combination with the piano and the echo on it. Makes it sound like one instrument. The choir sounds very much like a monk choir chant. Fits the theme. The violins are a welcome addition as well. Just because they sound well in combination with the rest.

Emid responds:

Gratitudes dear friend. I used free cello - Blakus cello. If you haven't tried I recommend it over all available paid cello libraries.

[Fox-trot Fletcher]

You chose your inspirational art very well. Your style fits perfectly, and this song reflects the inspiration very well. Very hectic and classic cartoonish. I like the cartoon effects you've used as well. I'll check out the Hannah Barbera cd.

steampianist responds:

yeah but if you are planning to get one you should get the remastered one. i have the old one

[Falling Snow]

Beautiful song. Works very well as a loop. Though it really tastes like more. I wish it were just an intro to a lengthier song that sounds equally beautiful. Something with a very sensitive solo violin for example.

Satyre responds:

Thanks. I was thinking about that too. I create the loops with the assumption in mind, that the sounds in the same level should spice up the loop and be a support to let the general music sound different every time a player starts a level. Maybe I should give it a try to create a song instead of a loop in the future :)

[After Us (updated)]

Cool song. You really get this post apocalyptic feeling from it. I like the wind and bird tweets. Very fitting.

Thonz responds:

Thanks a lot SourJovis!

[Children of Saturn]

When a song lifts your spirit, you know it's right. That's why I know this is a good song. I like the sounds you use. Particularly the ones of the orchestra hits with those chord stabs, the in between melodies, and the snare with echo.

JoshuaHughes responds:

Means a lot to me, dude! Glad you got something from it.

[Light in the Darkness]

This song very well reflects the duality of the artwork (which I like as well). The tranquil beautiful first part for the top half, and the menacing vehement part for the lower half. I like the sounds you use. Your composition is also great. A joy to listen to. Favourited it.

Emid responds:

I am really thankful to you for your very encouraging comment. My pleasure that you enjoyed. And sorry for the late reply as am busy in taking care of my baby girl. Thanks again.

[Nocturne nr.5 in C-sharp minor]

I have no words to describe how good this is. I wish I could compose and play as serious and good as you can. I'm sure you will place high in the competition.

newhansen responds:

Thanks SourJovis for this kind review.

[Crime FighterZ]

Great song. The music fits the image. The cheerfulness reflects the bright colours, and it sounds very action driven. I like the unusual effects in the song. Makes it sound very interesting.

DuttonsaysHi responds:

Ah that's good! It seems if the contest was to match the image as best you can, I may have had a chance. Thanks for the review!

[Spacewalk]

Sounds very chill. Nice melodies, sounds and chords. Makes me happy listening to it. I like the punch it has. Very energetic.

Mawnz responds:

Thank you SourJovis :D
