Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[🌆 #2: Troisnyx]

One thing I wish for in those audio threads is that they would encourage more user interaction, rather than just having people post their music and leave. They could advertise their songs on their news page instead. I think the forums should be a place for community, not self-promotion.

EDIT. Thank you @Troisnyx

What’s possible for most people is making friends who care about the music you create. And I believe more people have the potential to build that.

Troisnyx responds:

What risks being the case with this is more of the same: music being lost in the aether

We all don't want music to be lost in the aether, but we've no frameworks in place to give space for people to "come and sit" with a selection of people and ask them questions about their work

We now mindlessly post like on Discord servers, hoping that someone, anyone, will answer, but we expect zero response, and the process is exhausting

If it's community we're after, I don't mind us posting to people who will actively ask us questions and in turn, encourage us to ask questions of other people. Something's gotta precipitate the community making process, and because it won't stick immediately, we need people who can fill in for when some of us have to step away

Big ask, but certainly doable. I'm proposing a similar approach to Soundskills, the place I volunteer at, and it's being taken on board with suggestions of new, regular events to lift the dark cloud surrounding a lot of creatives in our area.

[Alterrate (From 6174 Album)]

Super cool bass!

SoulSlayerYt responds:

Thanks!

[Donkey Kong Rap Beat Rap Feat]

Good beat! Good rap!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you!

[Lotus Apparition]

@S3C, excellent work on the instrumental! It's fantastically mixed, with great richness in the sound. @S3C, what qualities do you look for in music?

Yes, this is amazing. The song has a great dreamy quality.

@Cyberdevil, the detail in the lyrics and vocals is sublime!

Cyberdevil responds:

Much obliged Aalasteir. :) Was a long time coming this one!

[March (Acapella)]

You have fantastic rhythm!

Great mixing from @KillerRATband

Favorite part:

But it's always on my mind and in name it is Doom,
Time sure seems gloomy when no music's in my room,
But moves like I've rocket fuel boosters too
So come February... gone. January... flew.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks again man! The lyrics hit differently when read apart from the rest of this hmm... those winter months sure do fly. Best rev that rocket and jet through sky.

[Jotunheim]

I’m a big fan of relaxing, atmospheric music, and you have some interesting harmonics.

Nerostratos responds:

Thank you i wish i mixed it better at the time~

[Hyperventilate]

Great sense of progression.

@larrynachos, what do you currently think about your Hyperventilate?

larrynachos responds:

I don't understand the question, do you mean the song? I don't like this one very much

[Ethereal Ambivalence]

I cannot believe you have utilized the tag poop in your song. This song is the opposite of poop.

larrynachos responds:

Hyperpoop

[INK 20 [FULL MIXTAPE]]

Wow fantastic mixtape!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you! Glad you found your way to it too! :)
