Red-Clay's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Super Mario Piano Ragtime]

I love Mario

However, as cool as it is, I prefer originality over rearrangement. That's just the music snob in me coming out I guess. Aside from that slight bias I have, I just love gettin' down to this kinda stuff. Makes me want watch some Charlie Chaplin while playing some classic Mario.

[Day of War]

It's cool but...

I don't know. Maybe I'm just jaded by all the classical music I listen to, but I feel that doesn't really go anywhere. It does change key of course but it just seems stagnant. However, I understand that it is among the genre "video game music" so really the character is perfect. It would boost the gameplay experience without distracting the player away from the actual game itself. Cool dude.

thanks for the comments; I agree, as a standalone piece of music, this isn't anything exciting, but as you also said, it'd sound better in a videogame.

but thanks for the insight :D

Dang.

Very impressive. Maybe a little too impressive. The whole thing flows really good and I like that modal development towards the end of the solo. I'm not sure, but I think that that solo might be slightly beyond the playability of a human. Those gliss-like runs might be a bit much. I can't do it yet anyway, but it sounds good. Cudos.

Hi!
You're right, it's a little unplayable. But I'll give you my secret: I recorded it on my keyboard at 110 BPM and wihile recording it on my computer I've increased the tempo to 140 BPM. But it doesn't mean I can't play it in this high tempo, I can do it but I have a high risk to do mistakes (or have hand/arm spasms lol) I must say also that I trained a lot before reconding this (even if it's improvised) :)
