[Altai]

wow this is a lit track dude. GO JORDI GO!

etherealwinds responds:

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT LIT MEANT! I always thought it was just a lazy shortening of the word 'literally'... damn American slang. I'mma take it as a compliment though! I'm guessing it's like, dis track is lit bro lyk fire, ur on fire bro x0x0

anyway, yes, thanks! good luck with the audition process!

[Desolate Dream]

only few tracks i voted full scores (everything). you captured the feel right on man. it's beautiful and sweet, yet so desolated in some way. like the blow of wind in the dark. gentle but lonely. how the heck did you play the piano so gently? :O this is amazing in its own way man. just great!

im glad your track is real good here! :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Aww, thank you for the pretty review :'3
I wanted to capture what I felt in the artpiece that was suggested for inspiration, for the contest. I was really taken by how incredibly beautiful it was, in its loneliness. I improvised this during the night, when my dad was sleeping. Ofc, I wore headphones, but I wanted to play the keys gently most of the time, as to not disturb him. I still played a bit louder on the more dynamic parts though.
I'm glad to hear you like it! :D

[Moon Odyssey]

Nice change of styles through out the track. :) really cheerful right here, especially strange for an abandoned world track. but john did say we can go crazy with it. :D

well done dude!

EctiBot responds:

Glad you like it :D. Yup that's what I did XD.

[Deceived by Demise]

Told y'all Peter gonna win. Well deserved place too.

Great work man. This is awesome.

EvilRaccoon responds:

lol! You did call it! You did extremely well with 'After Humanity' too! Number 4 with over 30 contestants! I'll hit you up with a review on your track.

You never know, we may meet in the NGADM, or Chips3 in the future! ;)
<3

[AIM - The Lonely Hermit]

Wow I'm glad that list of free kontakt libs from Peter's thread does justice, that free instruments don't mean bad music. Excellent track, well deserved first place. Awesome work. :)

EctiBot responds:

Kudos to you and Peter. Used to think it was impossible to make orchestral music without spending 1000s of dollars before that thread came along.
Really glad you enjoyed it :D.

[FD - Rebel Heart]

This comes off epic wonder make by Audiomachine or Daniel James. But it's an amazing track on its own. The sheer power of this track is massive. I think you have handled the mix and overall production very well. Especially the mix with Majestica. It doesn't sound as flat as it comes. I do like the massive and vast instruments mix in general. This is trailer level's work, mate. You are there ;).

I believe your production skill plus your composition skill, have improved very greatly. Proper uses of dynamic and expression for the instruments, just like professional composers. It's extremely eargasm when listening with headsets. I love the massive sound of it. Percussion is huuuuuggge. Listen to the hits and smashes of them!

Thank you for organizing this big collaboration on the album. The most impressive thing is you gathered many great composers together, being one yourself. This is the spirit of Newgrounds. Collaboration happens here. And I read all your chats, :D you guys had so much fun together. Thank you very much sir. Take care!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you for your kind words, I'm very glad you enjoyed this, as well as being our pleasure for pulling something like that :) I've been wanting to make this track a turning point for me when it comes to production music and orchestral tracks in general. I personally half-failed/succeeded, in that there's still a lot I need to learn, especially when it comes to mastering. But in due time, I'm sure I'll overcome those hurdles. Thank you for being an inspiration for this <3

[Adagio for Hope]

Holy shit half a day and no review! That arp tho. I'm sorry that my original tracks weren't as rad as this one, cos your piece is GODDAMNLY BLOWING AMAZING. And here comes that tempo trick again. You took a beetle and turn it INTO A DRAGON. 2 beetles... I think you sir have done a crazily unique track. I'm super duper impressed!

And those progressions :O. HOW? I admit this is gonna be something totally out of my league. Master. Fucking master!!! :O It keeps getting better at every listen. You guys really blow my mind up to space. Each of you comes up with absolute unique and solid work that could rival each other, if ever entered a contest.

This is just... wow. So mind blowing. You are amazing. In person and in production. Thank you for everything. This is... man I ran out of words to describe... :O Thank you for believing my me, and supporting me and everyone else all these times.

Phonometrologist responds:

That arp is you. I found that midi section, and just exploited it by adding a different instrument and changing notes to fit the harmony. You pretty much created the original melodies, and I merely added the harmonies. Perhaps, you can create more interesting melodies than I, and with how much I like harmonies, we can combine our strengths to create something more interesting. The melodies you created dictated what chords could initially fit, and I just continued the thought process.
