[Odell's VA Demo II]

Nice stuff!

Nice stuff!

OdellAtkinson responds:

I'll reply with two words:
Thank you!

Thank you!
;)

[Judgement: Part 1]

really nice man

Love the transition from the radio/monologue to the story

SeiyruRenaih responds:

I LOVE YOU MAN.

[[VAC7] Christmas 2012]

love it

love it! so cool to see... hear something longer! some nice bits in there. sweetly produced and everything. like listening to a nice (quite silly) radio drama.

only thing is all the jokes were just on the silliness of it being santa being played straight. I kind of wish it either had more other jokes or was actually serious.

Still loved it tho!

RicePirate responds:

Yeah, it's a strange mix of comedy and drama. I suppose when I made it, I figured the circumstances at the foundation of the story were ridiculous enough, that piling on the melodrama would really just amplify the silliness. In the end, I think I possibly pulled it too far back into drama.

[SeiyruRenaih Demo Reel 2010]

O-ho ho ho ho!

So I said, if you can't handle Wall Street, then maybe you should be on THE street instead!

I love you, man!

SeiyruRenaih responds:

I love commenting on reviews 6 months after they're made. It gives me ample time to think of witty responses to them. So here it goes:

You ha-

[The Dark Joker]

0:58

I wasn't sure about it at first, but then the heavy distorted version of the bass synth came in.

Sweet jesus.

That is all I have to say.

Nechura responds:

Haha, thanks man.

[Life's Broken Dreams]

Love it!

Like someone else said, it sounds a little like it could be the backing for a j-pop song. But works really nicely as an ambient track too.
Sweet production. Love the vibe when the drums first come in.

SuperGoodSound responds:

it's really weird, no matter what genre I end up doing people always always say my stuff sounds like video games or j-pop. I am cursed lol.

I must actually be a Japanese person stuck in a white person's body.

[Boom, War]

Cool atmosphere

I liked the opening. Reminded me of the opening to Akira. Very atmospheric and dark.

The sax sounded really out of place to me. With some of the notes sounding random and the overall sax sound not really fitting in. The melody around 1:50 sounds better tho.

You have some ideas in it and a nice atmosphere in parts, but the instrument sounds where a deal breaker for me.

Kirbyfemur responds:

Yeah, i'm trying to figure the best sounds to use, and there really aren't many good sounds to use in the demo, and i like the sax. I'll try using maybe a string instrument. But it's hard finding a good free VST that i like. Thanks for the review.

[Empty headed]

Out of key guitar part?

I agree with firemaker60, it's a pretty cool song. Nice, mellow and a cool laid back feel.

But that part at around 0:38 - 1:05 does sound totally out of key and horrible. Nice song, but that's a deal breaker for me.

Deadchick responds:

Yes, the guitar part is horrible, but that was on purpose basically. I wanted to make the song pretty weird and awkward, but I guess that didn't work, lol.

[UV - White Shoes]

Too random

Sounds far too random. Hard to see what you're going for.
Would be beter if it was simpler but with more of a point and beat or something

AestheticSessions responds:

A point? The point is that I'm wearing white shoes, motherfucker! And that's all the shit you need to know.

A beat? Can't you read, n***a? 7/4 and 19/8. Until you can learn to tap your foot in polyrhythm, don't be dissin' my shit, yo.

On that note, your criticism is very much appreciated, and I will definitely maybe take your advice.

[Vanilla Skies]

Really needs more

The sound quality and mixing could use a little work. But you've got some fun ideas.

Again, it sounds like it'd fit better within a bigger song. You could even combine the two songs you've uploaded into one and it might sounds pretty cool.

That-Noise responds:

you couldn't have said it any better, in fact the two songs are part of the same song. this is actually just a snippet of a much bigger song at about 5 mins long. be looking forward to it in about 3 months!
