I love music. I have taken music lessons for many years, including piano (11) and saxophone (7). I make music in my spare time as a hobby. I like to take what's going on inside my head and bring it into the world in the form of music. Leave a review!

great animation, I like the fighting stuff! I like how you timed the animation with my music. I especially like the part where he totally annihilates the stick dude when it says 'pure annihilation'. great work, keep up!
Author's Response:
Thanks! I actually wasn't planning on the stick dude exploding right when it said "pure anninilation," but if it worked out that way... well, great! Also, nice song you made there. I'm happy I found it. (NGAP Radio must be one of the most useful things on NG ever made.) Well, thanks for the review. Have a great day! :)

Nice work here, I really like orchestral rock. I'm not sure whether you used samples or a real guitar, but the solo guitar sounds realistic. Props for that. I would have liked to hear a lot more lower, dirty and distorted guitar in the bass line. Also, I don't like the orchestral sample. I know it is really hard to find an orchestral synth that sounds realistic, but I think that if you did, it would just add that much more to the song. Finally, I would really have liked heavier or louder drums. But I really enjoy what you have going on. I liked the flow of the song; the transitions were seamless, and once again, I loved the solo guitar. You did a good job mixing the rock feel and the ethereal atmosphere.
Kudos on a job well done.

Thanks for the review NightHawk. You know, I like the orchestral sounds. I think synthetic part is with the reverb, which I am DESPERATELY in need of an upgrade (I'll probably spring on a nice-quality reverb soon). I'm actually much less happy with the solo guitar (which is sampled, not real). I've spent a lot of time trying to make it sound as realistic as possible, so perhaps my ears are hyper-sensitive to it!
Great ideas about a thicker distorted guitar and bigger drums. I'll be making a few more revisions to this since I'm not quite happy with it yet, so those will be add to my to-do list.
Thanks again!

First off, sorry it took so long to review this: my college network has Newgrounds on its block list. I am on break now at home.
I really love the start. You really show a lot of attention to the fine details in this piece. That is a sign that you are on the track to do some really great stuff. I notice you used the piano too. I really like a good piano in a techno song. Kudos for that. I like what you've done with it. You really used good synths too. This is a real step up for you.
It was a pleasure to listen to this piece. It was dynamic enough that I didn't get bored listening too it because it changed often, although there were a few repetitive parts. But techno by nature is very repetitive. You did some phenomenal work on this one.
Congrats!

Hmm, I could use a bit of a stronger bass, maybe an electronic sounding one to contrast with the orchestral sound. The drums are good for a video game piece, but maybe make more use of the high hat and crash cymbal. The strings are very good; I like the melody very much! Kudos on that! The strings don't sound very realistic, but how good can you get with synth strings anyway? Plus, somehow you managed to avoid a problem that frequently arises when using synth strings - when the strings sound delayed a tad because they start softer and crescendo. So although they may not sound the most realistic, good choice on the string sample.
Over all, very good job!
