Miyolophone's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Love Letter to Joe Hisaishi]

i've said it before but this is really really beautiful and faithful to the source (though clearly you still put a bit of your own spin on it!). a love letter that anyone would be delighted to receive!!

[Never Falling Down]

UP!

this is really good. the guitar and drum processing is really clean which is impossible so you should probably be banned for cheating at music

LunacyEcho responds:

the tricc is the kicc

[Winterlude]

so lovely, as always. i think my favorite description of evocative writing that i've ever had someone give me is that it should have "tactile, viscous details" and i think that's something you've really started to embody in your own work. i can feel the music on my skin

tailspun responds:

that last sentence is also a very good conveying-of-feeling!

i'm really glad you noticed all the little details i worked at :) i used to think my hyper-focusing on small individual elements was something that i should work to get rid of, but as of late i've tried out embracing it, and i think it's proving to be a lot better for me.

[Marine Mayhem!]

i like the intro

[Plümmet]

awesome. really love how you guys have been playing with weird textures lately.

how did you even come up with the eerie reversed aesthetic starting 1:40? what synapses fired to make that happen?? probably my favorite vibe so far

tailspun responds:

thank ü ( :

for the reverse bit 1f1 was kinda just like "huh where should i take this what if Reverse" and then Reverse happened and it was beautiful

[Obelisk]

this is amazing. there are a lot of great things in this piece but I want to shout out the return to the opening motif at 2:45 and the long crescendo into 3:39 that follows, which are both awesome. also, I'd like to publicly announce that I have been thinking about the outro for 22 hours straight

tailspun responds:

ily mayo boy, thank you x100

[Home Called]

This is really good. It gets off to a bit of a slow start, but once you get into that awesome groove with the percussion at 1:00, everything is really cool and engaging. I especially like the composition around 1:40-2:00— it gives me some serious Hollow Knight OST vibes (which I love), especially with those background string lines. The nature sfx around 1:20 are a very nice touch as well!

Keep it up and good luck in the competition!

Baumarius responds:

Thanks! I've actually never heard that soundtrack, so I'll have to check it out!

[By Day, By Night]

A masterpiece. I can almost get over the fact that I explicitly claimed first Chips collab with starstruck and you STOLE HIM FROM ME

Can't wait to see what else both of you guys come up with.

Onefin responds:

i didn't steal him, i just called him after you called him and he happened to say "oh miyo's gonna be busy doing his thing as a PAID PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN

[Finish Line!]

Super fun! 1:01 and 2:32-2:37 made me smile. (I was frowning in disapproval the rest of the time, to be clear.)

many thank you to you too

LunacyEcho responds:

ahaha i thought about you specifically when i made 1:01 :P

hmmmm perhaps a facereveal would be a bad thing after all :thonk:

merry thank you!
