Deemo-R's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Distant Horizon]

You've always been very good at this direction of writing, but I feel as though somehow you've leveled up in some tangible way over time on making even more melodically satisfying and "iconic" (for lack of a better word) arrangements. I love what you do in this space! 2:07 is a particularly Hisaishi-esque texture, but overall I feel like you're making your own amalgamation of that general language. Fantastic!

HollandAlbright responds:

Thank you so much! There were a few moments last year that I personally felt a difference in my writing, but this year in particular I think my music has evolved a lot. I do really like quartal harmonies (they're sort of mystical sounding) and they are definitely a Hisaishi staple! :)

[Sky]

Fantastic orchestration work! Thanks for sharing the score too, it's fun to see some of the textures broken down a bit

HollandAlbright responds:

Thanks so much! I'm glad you also enjoyed the score- I like making those videos.

[Petals in Moonlight]

Fantastic stuff, love the production on this. The warble is really pronounced but in a tasteful way, and the long-as-hell verb is so dreamy. In general, you seem to have a really great sense for arranging, too - I feel like you bring a lot to these kinds of familiar genres in that aspect.

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Wow! Thank you for such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate all of that.

[Final Castle Theme (Bird Tapper's Retro Challenge OST)]

Damn, I stopped before this section - I need this injected into my veins

[Rosa rugosa]

You are so crazy good at this type of stuff that it's unfair, haha

[Close to Her (Live)]

One of the best possible realities is getting to hear your music performed by a full live ensemble, holy wow. Congrats Bosa, it's wonderful!

Bosa responds:

thank you so much! I am truly thankful we live in such a reality!

[Slap Kids RPG - Worthy Adversary]

Indeed a slap. Love the wide vibrato organ especially

[Eonian Sweven]

Your music is always a breath of fresh air :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

It makes me happy that you feel that way. Thank you!

[Dashmo OST]

Wonky mixes are the only kind that I like

[Venture of The End Piano Version]

You have a fascinating sense for rhythm and voice leading, especially in the inner voices. I especially love the accompaniment at the beginning, it's really energetic! Wouldn't have guessed a piece like this was originally done on piano. Excited to see what else you're cooking up!
