LadyArsenic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[{!RGH} -+[Uncertainty]+-]

Hey RyeGuy,
I just listened to this again for the first time in like 6 years, it felt nostalgic as hell. We should do something like this again soon. <3

RyeGuyHead responds:

Always appreciate a good blast from the past!

There’s a couple new tunes I’ve been flirting wit lyrics on; if anything comes to them, I’ll be sure to give you a shout :D

[Rose Cover (Raw)]

Hello! I should have really listened to this before PMing you but I've never been great at organisation, hahaha. You have a lot of great foundation and potential! Your equipment sounds great, especially for something you're starting with! Your voice is also lovely. Your tone is light but warm, which is universally pleasant and will be appreciated by many. Your diction is also very good, nice crisp consonants.

One opportunity I think you could focus on in the future (and I mentioned this in the PM as well) is to let go. It sounds a little like you're holding back, and hiding such a pretty voice from us would be a shame! I know it's harder than it sounds, but I know you can do it!

I'm expecting great things from you. Keep up the good work! <3

Quisty responds:

Thank you so much. Your feedback means a lot. :)

[Play - Hammer & Anvil]

=) There's a lot of love in this song. A lot of love, but just a slight uncomfortable chill that makes it really interesting. I've honestly never heard a techno piece like this before, and I really like it. Thanks for sharing this with the world!!

Free2Play responds:

Thanks! Yeah it does have a weird style which is cool but I really lack control over my keys, style, writing, and my voice as well which I would like to ask you about sometime.

But thanks for the review!

[Halloween Themes&Variations]

Oh man I love this! This style is so good, that classic dastardly silent film style jazzed up with spooky swing. Jesus I've got to watch out for you, when someone discovers you you'll be unstoppable.
That being said, have you heard of/played a game called Monaco? Their soundtrack is very similar and I love it just as much. Keep the good work coming! <3

Lumina33 responds:

Aaaawww thank you sooo much!! :D It's really motivating to see comments like these! :)
I've never heard of it, can I play it in a computer? I'm curious to hear the soundtrack! :D

[Crystal Cave]

This is gorgeous! I really like your vibraphone ostonatto, it really gives it that ambiance of being surrounded by shiny stones. Very ethereal, nice and fluid. Can't wait to hear more. =)

Lumina33 responds:

Thank you so much :D I'm really glad you enoyed that song :D

[Bend||Break - Vocals]

Such percussion skills! :'>
I really love the electronic sound, I've always envied people who can pull it off well. The chords are familiar and consistent without being redundant which is super important and you nailed it. Really good going on that!

RyeGuyHead responds:

I like how you bring up the familiarity of the chords. I feel like songwriters get into trouble sometimes when they start trying too hard to sound different. You should really just write out what feels good to you and leave it up to the other moving parts (dynamics, expression, construction/destruction, etc) to complete the piece.

Thanks for the review!

[Arman§dragon 2]

Your library/percussion skills are so goooood! Mine are suck, lol. Totally jelly! <3

Aphyrmehrius responds:

Thank you so much ! :)

[Landslide- Cayler]

Beautiful

Hey Cayler, it's been a while

As a musical review this is an absolutely beautiful rendition of this song; I think it's the first time I ever heard a man sing it, and I don't think anyone else could have done it better. You have just the right smooth gentle voice for it. The piano placing the guitar was also a good idea! Absolutely wonderful.
On a personal note, this song always gets me. I'm the youngest member of my family, and the day I graduated my mother and I celebrated at this little karaoke place we always love to go to. She decided to sing this song, and about halfway through it she suddenly realized the gravity of the lyrics, now completely identifying with them as she realized that that was the day I was officially grown up. Immediately she began to tear up, and as she continued to sing they just continued to fall. It was a really touching moment to me, and hearing this song stirs those memories. Don't ever stop singing okay?

Cayler responds:

I'm glad that songs holds so much meaning for you and that you like my rendition of it. And don't u worry, I'll never stop singing, unless of course I get in an accident and lose my voice box or something. lol

[Mad World -Cayler]

Lovely as always. <3

Hey Cayler! Good to see a new song from you, dear.
This has always been a favorite piece of mine, so you already get bonus points for having a good taste in music. I kind of like how you made the notations in your voice as simple as possible. This is something new from you, in my opinion. Really, when you do this it makes me realize just how steady your notes are, and I have to say that I'm really impressed. They don't move anywhere what soever until you want them to! Anyway, hit me up some time, will you? I have a new duet idea, and I was wondering if you wanted to help out. Take care!

With love,
Mandi <3

Cayler responds:

Yes, this was change of pace for me, in that I usually try to sing at the edge of my abilities. But this was right in the center, right where I was comfortable, so there wasn't any straining going on. I'll be in contact with you soon I'm sure, on AIM probably! :P

[: My American Sitcom Intro :]

WHAT!?

No it's NOT! >=(
Maybe my favorite piece from YOU.

... Or ever...

<3 It's so bad it's good.

Decerto responds:

haha <333!
