ellisjonny's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[3 o8o God's Nuts o8o 3]

The minimalism really creates an atmospheric feel to the piece.
Good loop! It doesn't wear out its welcome after hearing it a while. I think some subtle discordant sound would elevate the piece and enhance the creepiness of it.
I like :)

Insanctuary responds:

If you listen closely, you can hear death's heartbeat.

[Tifa's Theme (FF7)]

I quite liked it, would have liked the flute playing the melody to be a little higher in the mix, but a decent job overall :)

PivotalTuxedo responds:

Thank you ellisjonny, I'll keep that in mind :) Glad you liked it :)

[My friend death died]

This piece amused me...

It's pretty random :P

dudeofdudeland responds:

Yup! Glad you liked it!

[DubStep try 1]

Keep at it :)

Definitely does not deserve scores less than one.
I think this is pretty good for a first try at Dub, I would have preferred a slightly less predictable, more "schizophrenic" bass line, but that's just my taste.

Keep at it :)

Fr34KC responds:

Yeah I know, quite a few dubstep lovers would hate this but since I'm more a fan of melodic elements I thought I give it a slightly softer touch.
I know I'm nowhere near those top-5 artists on this page but I'm trying to get there though it'll take years I guess :D

Thanks for the reply.

[Reflection (for 4 Hands)]

Elegant :D

I really enjoyed this piece, I thought it was impressive without being flashy.
I liked the thoughtful mood it conjures.

Good job, composer person :P

Thank you!

Thursday night....

I agree with the "Foundations" similarity.
Having said that, it is a nice cheery number, I liked the overall feel of it, but I felt like it lacked melody and the balance is a bit off.

There's a lot of potential in there though :D

SirFurious responds:

Ok, now I HAVE to look up "Foundations". >.<

It does kinda lack melody, and the balance is off. But, hopefully the EQ patch helps fix that. Come back and hear again, and PM me with any tips off that? :)

Thanks for the honest review. :)

[classical piece]

Definitely has potential

I liked this piece generally, however I think the piano part could do with a bit of sprucing up (something more interesting than quaver piano chords in root position), and the sound balance is a little off, I think the melody is drowned by the backing. Really liked the second half of the piece. Could also do with an expansion, develop the melody, add a contrasting section perhaps?

These are just my opinions, but good attempt :D

Jenniiee responds:

Thanks, like i said i am new at this but i do appreciate your help :)

Just a thought...

I quite like the feel of this piece, the beginning has a sort of tranquility to it, I think it's more effective when it's left a bit sparse.

As for where it's going to go, how about a ternary (ABA) form?
Your original theme, then a more bright and lively section, then return to your original theme, and either end or loop it, when there's not too much going on I can imagine it being like a "wandering round" music in an adventure game where there aren't things trying to kill you.

I'll stop rambling. Good job though :D

Special-Ed responds:

cool ideas...
Just so we're clear though, there is a difference between votes and ratings.
