RealTin3Sn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sleep Wrapped in Love ~ T]

Some 11 years after this was released and here are my thoughts:

Lovely lovely lovely!!!

This song feels like you're singing to me in a way that's exactly meant for the night. Not just like a lullaby in general to put one to sleep, but one meant exactly for the night, that time of mystic and beauty. I'm 18 and I still felt like a baby being sung to sleep. I nearly cried at how beautiful this was. Something about those lyrics over this melody is just magic.

As for the instrumentation I agree with everything people have said. Especially with Step. This is wonderful in every way possible. It feels like you took a simple melody and made it an orchestral wonder of your own.

Thank you and Phyrnna for showing me that there is still light in the world, even if I only found out about this 11 years after its release. It surprises me very little that this did well in the NGAP 10th Anniversary.

[Ashen Fury]

Great work!

This sounds great! It mixes orchestral and electronic so well. Oh man, this reminds me of Phyrnna, it's quite close to something she would have written. I agree with Creeperforce: Waterflame, you should write some solo music. I loved Rocket Race in SFH.

[Christmas Is Coming]

Aaaah an early Christmas gift! Thank you so much~!!!!

Christmas is coming, I hope. Christmas just can't seem to come soon enough this year, can it? Always seems to come a little late.

Really, though. This is a beautiful piece in all ways of the word. Makes me think of parties with friends, beautiful snowfalls, and most of all the wonderful Santa-san who gives our lives so much meaning.

This gives me hope and joy that Christmas will be beautiful this year. It's something I really needed right now, and I express my thanks of that through giving this a favorite and five star review. Gee are you Santa Claus~? :D

Great work! And Merry Christmas!

-Tin3Sn.

Update: Some of my friends heard this. They both love it, one even said "It sounds like the intro to a Hallmark movie".

[Wicked Circus]

Ah wow I like this a lot!

This sounds like a spooky ragtime parlour and it's awesome. Totally could fit a horror game with a western feel. Nice to see you exploring some new styles here my friend! You're doing good with this madness feel.

Happy Madness Day. I might actually upload something, I feel inspired because of you!

-Tin3Sn.

Solacitude responds:

There's effectively a couple ragtime techniques involved, I'm glad you noticed! And a bunch of madness as well, I tried my best to infuse a mad flavor to it. Horror/spooky is exactly the effect I wanted to create, if you perceive it, it's excellent! :D

Thank you very much for the review!

[Wicked Aberration]

Oooh spooky... Teh heh heh Is it Halloween already~?

This sounds modernist, almost like a cross between Stravisnky and a nightmare-ified Mozart (yes that is a word!). It has a good use of dissonance. It makes the music sound weird but not terrible.

Great job, Solacitude-san and I am absolutely going to review your other "Wicked" song too!

-Tin3Sn.

Solacitude responds:

It sure has a Halloween vibe!
I tried to go as random as possible while trying to keep it musically interesting. It was a pretty weird exercise, and very interesting. It's not as random as it may appear first. I recorded about 30 minutes of weird atonal improvisation and this was the best of it. I'm glad you appreciated!

[Pirates Interrupted My Dearest Boy's Performance - NGADM]

Ah Troisnyx it's so great to see you release something after all those months! Even if it's not a new song it makes me so happy to know that you're still doing splendid. You gave an absolutely lovely and endearing performance as the aristocrat. Very good for the character, but still very much you!

And Irish-soul, this music is wonderful! I definitely felt that pirate vibe you were going for. Sounds like pirates of the Caribbean mixed with old flash game music in the best way possible. I do love a good sea shanty-type track myself.

Great work, both of you!

-Tin3Sn.

Troisnyx responds:

Ah hi I only release the odd collaborative effort on NG these days ❤️ The aristocrat voice, to me, was a combination of Fascinating Aïda, deeply entrenched British classism, and a lot of pearl-clutching.

[Geunyang Sum Swieo (Waterflame Remix)]

Just listened to the original and here are my thoughts on this remix:

Pretty good overall. Sounds dreamy but quite different from the original. Waterflame, you did good on this.

-Tin3Sn.

[Geunyang Sum Swieo]

Really nice.

I'm more of a J-pop person myself. But this is really calming. Great vocals and production.

[a promise in the sky]

A colourful, beautiful, and wonderful piece in every way imaginable.

I think this song has one of the best orchestrations I've ever heard on Newgrounds, quite possibly in any song ever. It is so very cohesive and lyrical yet changes so much in under 2 minutes (note how you use the instruments for their colours here and not just their sound). It is so complex and specific yet is light at the same time, never coming across as suffocating in its beauty. If I may say this it is a slice of heaven.

As for the rainbow theme you absolutely nailed it. I have synaesthesia so I can understand how instruments and colours relate better on a more personal level, and I can safely say that you did an *extremely* good job on your choice and use of instruments here even though I may not totally agree with your own assessment. In fact, this is one of a very few songs I've heard where a specific image and theme is captured absolutely perfectly. This is not even the slightest of exaggerations. I could practically feel the rainbow shining through the clouds and rain despite it being sunny where I live.

Lastly I completely agree with you about the symbol rainbow. It is one of the most poignant representations of how life doesn't last, yet your memories always will. This piece is a very beautiful reminder of the joys of life.

Sorry for the long review, but I had a lot to say. What a masterpiece. 5/5, 10/10, favorite forever.

PS:

Troisnyx, do you mind if next year, I review all the songs on tesserakoste on each of their associated days of Lent?

Troisnyx responds:

Thanks for the heartfelt thoughts 🙏🏽 I don't mind, feel free to do so (although, on the day that this falls on, I suggest replacing it with The Drummer's Prayer instead, as it was originally meant to be a song for this album).

[Last Raindrop]

I love it!

This is really something. I love the instruments you've used and the genres this spans (especially the hip-hop type part at 0:50). It's quite complex for a trance song, but in a way that is enjoyable.

Congrats on the frontpage and a new favorite from me!

Thank you so much!
