Zanzlanz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dissonant Lives]

That's really fun syncopation whoa, and those arps are so beautiful at 1:45!

Really creative work serponge, I have no idea how you came up with this haha

serponge responds:

Thanks zanz!
I was wondering what the name for this was, syncopation yeah :)
I really need to learn more music theory

[Psalliota Xanthoderma]

Incredible composition skills! The feel you brought out in this is very positive and enjoyable, which was definitely helped by your use of various instruments to tell a unique melodic story.

Also, I can't help but love your tagged inspirations for this - great musical references that make for a cool emotional combination!
(Edit: and if they're not "inspirations", then hey that is all to say I love your style!)

Well done!

mrcoolisimo responds:

Yes they are all inspirations! The intro theme from Phantom Thread, the waltz from the cat returns, and several themes form How To Train Your Dragon 2 and 3.

Thank you for the feedback!

[Detious - Cobalt Matrix]

WOAH that got super cool as it went on; didn't expect that dark section in the middle at all haha. Love the basses, and how the drums nicely compliment the arrangement of the track.

Glad you overcame the creative hurdle to make this happen. You should definitely be happy with it :)

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks my dude! That section is honestly my favorite part. ;P

Yeah man, it's definitely been hard lately, I appreciate the kind words!

[Sunlight Santana]

Hey this is neat! The arrangement is a lot of fun.
The mood's well set with the gritty basses/horns, deep piano, and impactful drums. And then as it progresses, I love how the various sounds and synths talk to each other.
Great submission dude!

ConnorGrail responds:

Thanks! Happy to hear the comment about the elements interacting, one of my favourite things to do is combine tons of things in different ways.

[Strange Bliss (NGADM)]

Really good song, especially the beginning sounds being very strange! ;)

For some feedback, I think the sines were too harsh on my ears on headphones at 0:44. Also that first kick startled me.

But yep, this is a fun, bright, and creative track man. Great job!

Pulvite responds:

Thank you so much! Thanks for the feedback too :)

[Mission 01]

Oh, so amazing! Great job on the feel of the track - reverb and everything is spot on. Nothing negative to say, apart from the length, hehe! :D
And pretty cool visualizer. I like the treble clef cherry stem on your sundae!

Noisysundae responds:

Most of the time, I choose to end it early because I'm running out of idea on that sundae. If I can move on, I'll do it. Just making sure my stuff won't sound like it's forced.
Glad to know you like the visualizer. Thanks very much. :)

P.S. What you've heard on some legato notes is delay. Not a single reverb effect was used in this project. :P

[Midnight Phantoms]

Thanks for advertising this on the Newgrounds "Leave a Message" thing!

I really enjoyed it! It definitely feels like a ghostly boss!
Awesome work! Followed ;D

Noisysundae responds:

Thank you and welcome aboard! I was just trying to do what Jojo does everyday, though. :P

[Dig It!]

Well I just learned you were great at music too! :D Keep up the amazing work, haha - you're awesome!

PuffballsUnited responds:

Haha well thank you! I haven't gotten the science down yet though. Takes me a long time to come up with a good melody.

[Speedrun]

Wahow! Great job, this is really fun and catchy O__O! What parts of the track where inspired by speedrunning/AGDQ? :)

Acid-Paradox responds:

The whole track was inspired by speedruns :)

Thanks for the review!

[The Glazkov Syndicate]

Holy cow dude this is amazing! It's good to see a new upload from you. Keep up the amazing work :)

As a side-note, you should use the link youtube.com/AcidParadox , since it's prettier than the jumble of letters you have there ;)

Acid-Paradox responds:

Thanks for the nice comments man.

And cool, I was trying to find that short URL because i also hate the diarrhea of letters i posted, so also thanks for the heads up.
