Thetageist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Last March]

I like the composition a lot! I'm struggling to figure out how the orchestral plugins sound, as I always feel like having good plugins is good for these kinds of pieces, but even then that's a tiny nitpick.

[Purchase Decisions]

This feels like the shop screen of a goofy game, I like it. Also noticed how it has some slight holiday feel with the bells, very seasonally appropriate.

[Vaarzuleth - Sonata Maldita]

Oh, so that would explain why I’ve been trapped in this never-ending labyrinth of madness and despair ever since you sent me the file on Discord.

Jokes aside, this is one of my favorites of yours. It moves very smoothly between the different sections and they’re all very interesting.

[Canyon of Hums]

I took a quick catnap while this song was playing, it was nice. I like the ambiance a lot.

[Vaarzuleth - Cyberpunk]

Not my thing genre-wise, but I like how you vary up the music with different melodic lines.

Are you sure you don’t want to start posting to YouTube? Tons of people would want to listen to this there.

V-Future responds:

YouTube doesn't pay creators in the shithole I live :( Neither Spotify nor the rest of the platforms. It would be great to get some money there!

[The Clockwork Court]

I feel like a little more mastering (or different instrument samples) could help this track feel less MIDI, but the composition is really cool!

[Schizofriend]

This has s vibe. I can’t put words to it, but it’s a vibe. Maybe vaporwave? It scratches an itch in my brain that I didn’t know was there.

Jukestar responds:

Damn! What a compliment! Means a lot coming from you too :)

[Hiya! (2023)]

The Return of Hiya! I love this second take on the… hiya style, I guess lol. It’s a little more modern, less quirky folk music, but I love that. Some nice experimentation here.

I like how it turns into some kind of pseudo-phonk towards the end.

[Buckshot Roulette - Before Every Load (RuditheRaven Remix)]

OH FUCK OH SHIT YOU'RE ON NEWGROUNDS?!?!?!?

I love this remix, I put it on whenever I need the motivation to hurry up and get something done quickly. This goes really hard, great work.

RuditheRaven responds:

Thanks man and hell yeah I'm on newgrounds, a lot more often too, since I want to get some stuff out that isn't really for my YouTube channel or stuff I want to get on geometry dash.
