Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[JASON DWYER | CREATIVE BLOCK #164]

Yes, Jason, you are exceptional! What really resonated with me in the episode is the discussion about being able to create ugly drawings. It is so pompous and stupid that people try to present their sketchbooks as finished art.

Knowing that it's okay not to show your sketchbook to anyone and to be happy with creating art for yourself.

That is a really good motivator for being confident in your creations. I feel that is extremely encouraging for people who struggle with confidence in drawing, knowing that it's okay to make bad drawings. I also enjoyed hearing about the concept of nonlinear story structure, where you create the exciting bits and then try to connect the parts with each other instead of following a straightforward system. I think that is a really good way of structuring a story, using a nonlinear system.

[Winter Solstice (full ver)]

Very cool and atmospheric. You have a good sense of progression, and the mix is balanced well.

MrMcMusic responds:

Thank you very much Aalasteir!

[Newgrounds Squatchcast #2 - Investigating with AlmightyHans]

Great to hear how the incidents are analyzed with a background in costuming and film, which gives a good perspective.

[TBS#002 - Pee (Feat. CarterSterling and Stepford)]

The relatability is on a whole other level.

[Newgrounds Squatchcast #1 - Bigfoot Is a Newgrounder That Smokes Weed]

Great to hear about Newgrounders' philosophy concerning Bigfoot. It's interesting that there was a no advertisement rule.

[MrMcMusic X Aalasteir - Super King]

Thank you so much for collaborating, and the song sounds excellent! It's awesome to hear that you found it very fun to make and had a great experience.

MrMcMusic responds:

Thanks for collaborating with me! I’m glad I had this opportunity!

[Calling From Heaven Remake]

There is a great sense of adventure and strong variation in the instruments. Great composition!

[SHATTER]

Great atmosphere, very exciting! The beat is excellent. I've listened to your song at least 6 times. I would like to thank for how helpful the download button is on Newgrounds for downloading songs; I find that feature extremely helpful. You rap very well!

[Head Up High]

The melody is excellent, and the atmosphere is great, very well created. There's a ton of style and a great description detailing the story of your track. The piano line by @SkankyMojo is great. It's awesome that you can remember your first paid commission. You're really good at writing about the stories of your experiences with music. A super thanks to @Jozarto for being awesome. It's great to have amazing friends with whom you can collaborate with.

@ADR3-N It's amazing how much well-thought-out and effortful writing you have in your music. I am intimidated by the amount of information you are able to organize. You're very skilled in your writing as well as your ability to create music.

[An Honest Attempt]

Great improvisational piece! The auditory environment is rich with emotion and well mixed. The effect is calming.
