Asvegren's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The eternal dream [BTTMC]]

Heh, I have to agree with Genclops! I definitely 'see' something else even though I've read the scene description (though my idea is very abstract). I really like this one.

[Never verse home [BTTMC]]

Badass intro. And how could I not love THAT melody - you know which one I'm talking about! Overally, another great track, the beginning in particular imo.

Calamaistr responds:

I knew you'd like it, i chose not to make it exactly the same, i wanted it to have a hint of it and have more emphasis on the atmosphere, the frontier of space from the eyes of the humans inside the machines being taken from their scorched earth.

[Littered horizon [BTTM]]

the effect at the end of the track, is that the human hitting the ground? i might be reading too much into it. mostly i get a hopeful/somber vibe from this (and not so much falling) so i feel like this is from the perspective of the machine? what does it matter anyway, it's a nice track and the irony in the back story is well designed.

Calamaistr responds:

you were right, its the human falling to the ground. Very well noticed ;)
(not the actual impact though but the last seconds before it, the impact is when it all gets silent/end of track)

-cal.

[Detacher [BTTMC]]

wish i had the technical knowledge to discuss what i like about these. in layman's terms, this (like a lot of your work) triggers a fairly intense sense of nostalgia. very pleasant to listen to in a loop.

Calamaistr responds:

the loop makes it good huh

[DSTHA (8bit)]

i am just listening to this on repeat. haunting.

Calamaistr responds:

[[enters time machine]] [[pops out of timemachine in 2018, 5 years later, no grey hairs yet, gladly]] ''bruh, you liked this back then already?'' ''ha''

[TIWBD (8bit)]

hot damn you went and did it again. this goes on my list.

Calamaistr responds:

thanks

[wadmarch (8bit)]

nice, i like the marching feel of this one

Calamaistr responds:

its what got it its name

[a amaranthine by [8bit]]

nice melody, i like it!

Calamaistr responds:

believe it or not i woke up with the melody in this track, i was dreaming about me being a kid and having a snowballfight with friends.

[All will be here. [TMC]]

Don't think I will ever get over how good this is :)

Calamaistr responds:

someday :P

[And every1 stopped [8bit]]

love every time you upload an 8bit track, cause all i do is try and imagine what kind of game would go with it! this is good stuff.

Calamaistr responds:

hmm, well its always under videogame because theres no other tab for this sort of style, i prefer to compose in 8bit over hifi because hifi instrumentations always clutter into a haze of sound whereas 8bit is much more accurate in the sense that each individual note is much better put to clear contrapuntal melodies. :)

Its not necessarily meant to be in a videogame though everyone is free to theorize ;)
