Quarl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Unusually Complex Understanding]

Yo these lounge beats are fire. Enchanting melodies, sassy piano textures. That break down at 1:22 was ill son.

[悲しい少年 "S a d b o y" [Lofi]]

Holy cow, you've been uploading a ton of great material this year. Been holding on to it all this time? Where do these ideas come from?

DreamEater responds:

Man thank you so much for all the support Quarl, I can't tell ya how much I appreciate it.

The first 10-15 tracks or so were some old ones that I had stocked up but all the new lofi/trap/vaporwave projects have been done in my new studio :'). I've been listening to a LOT of Chillhop and Lofi in the time I was unable to write, so a lot of my inspo has been drawn from that lately. I really want to give future funk a try but idk if my body is ready.

[オレンジ "Orenji" [Lofi]]

Such chill. I was listening to this track earlier. That glitch vibe is tight. I love the way that soft kit works with the grainy record sounds. Tango.

DreamEater responds:

Thank you so much 😊, I’m really proud of this mixdown. I couldn’t agree more 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[A Breeze From Home ~ Vocal Ver.]

My two cents, too much reverb on your voice. You have an amazing singing voice. That soggy reverb is drowning your bird voice :)

Troisnyx responds:

birb o.o

It took me a while to get used to this form of compression and mixing, I'll admit. The whole point of this was for clarity over mobile and poorer PC speakers, from what I understand -- and on these, it feels as though the reverb carries it well. I did get used to it after a while. Still glad you enjoyed it though -- thank you for listening!

[Galaxy]

At first I was kind of "meh" but the more I listened to this the more addicted I got. These are some really creative elements you're slamming together. You know what would have made this more exciting? Double time tempo, liquid drum and bass meets idm towards the end.

But it was also perfect just the way it was. Boop.

DoctorNoSense responds:

Thx for the great Feedback ^^

[Arcade Playroom]

That is some groovy bass you have there. Synth wave? Loved all those melodies. lolz, 4:20 minutes long. Or should I say 4:20 minutes high?

Maajjyyn responds:

thanks a lot for your feedback!

[done to death (ngap bingo contest 2k18)]

Great stuff Yosh, I loved the weird floating feeling those ride and bass rhythms made at the beginning. At first I was like "what time sig is this?" I had trouble counting to four, in a good way :3

The drums that snap in after the break down were tight too. I just wish they had a little more hi emphasis. The distortion sound is raw and cool but I'm also getting a filter vibe from them. They feel subdued when they actually want to punch me in the face. Let them punch me in the face. Punch me daddy. Just punch me in the face.

Yoshiii343 responds:

About the drums during the second half; yeah, they're sliced-up samples from a beat and that's just how they sound like, unfortunately. I could probably try to EQ it, but God knows my mixing skills are wack.

[Return]

I can't wait to hear more from you. You seem young yet you're at the perfect age for music. I played so many gigs in highscool, some of my best stories come from those years. Start a band. Find kids that will suck with you. Suck collectively and be amazed at where life takes everyone. Screw an actual review. I just gave you life cheat codes. Do stuff with people.

[I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream]

Great track but I mean, if you need someone to scream for you I can record something on my phone. Plus I have a mouth.

djt820 responds:

I have no butthole and I must fart. Send me an audio file of you screaming and I'll put it in the next song; maybe next to a bunch of toilets flushing... who knows... Thanks for the review!!!

[Byte Sequence]

My favorite part was when the song was like, all trippy and stuff. I never realized you started up an alias years ago. I just came across your post from 2011, thanks google. That's always the danger of having names. One tends to be a little more obscure unless you can keep em both active :c

Mich responds:

Glad you liked it <3

Yah, I wanted to get my stuff in some other places too, and just "Mich" is not particularly unique or easy to google. As far as I can tell basically all results for "Cimylium" are actually my stuff, which is neat. I also made a "Stack Trace" one one which I've posted a grand total of 1 trance track, lol.
