ZLEAP's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[When the Devil gets Loose]

This definitely has potential. Lovely texture, experimental approach...

Develop this further and I'll be a happy camper.

SlaughterClub responds:

i just sent Anchorwind the multitracks was hoping mybe you two could some remixing on it ?

[track - 06]

This feels like a primitive version of something from Skinny Puppy's Handover album. Electro-Industrial can be really cool if done right and I think you're well on your way to doing so. Keep pushing. You'll find the effort is well worth getting to the result.

OPFX responds:

GONNA KEEP PUSHING!

[POLY: Code 47 (B Side)]

While most have chosen the B Side, I'm still stuck in the middle. Both are great.

Anchorwind responds:

I like that answer! I'm glad at least one person doesn't choose sides :)

[POLY: Code 47]

Finally found a solution to that lead problem I see. Very nice.

P.S. TOLD YOU SO :P

Anchorwind responds:

Yes you did. You win this one.

[MM3: There's Still Life In Her]

LONG LIVE MM

LONG LIVE AW

(and maybe AG :P)

Anchorwind responds:

Indeed. Thanks.

[Downfall Action Track]

Needs more leads. But other than that its a solid and well crafted industrial-metal tune.

Love it.

[AI Supremacy]

Makes me think of some ultra violent and sexually charged Tron universe.

[degenerate generation.-]

A painfully slow six minutes and twenty one seconds worth of transition.

I can dig it.

SlaughterClub responds:

hey thanks heart grinder always appreciate you stopping by ;-)

[Distort.4.10mins]

With a slowly evolving yet ambitiously turbulent soundscape around this, you would have quite the piece of music on your hands. As is, it sounds like discomfort. I think it needs to force full blown paranoia and danger.

Have it imply that whatever wants you already has you. You're only alive so it can watch you squirm.

SlaughterClub responds:

funny you should say ....i was feeling very sick & in discomfort when playing this it seems after years of caffeine abuse i now have an allergic reaction check out the youtube video you will see just how shaking my hands were.. i was at the point of feeling very faint ..all my thoughts were crushed desperately trying to focus & ..record music at the same time very intense .. profound, impact

thanks for stopping by & the thought provoking review my friend !!!

[Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 Chopin]

2:50 was the moment I was waiting for. I didn't know this until I heard it but I instantly knew it was brilliant. Everything seems to shift into a sound that's warm and safe. Made me think of healing or a sanctuary of some sort. Even if it merely exists in ones mind.

P.S. My deepest apologies for being gone. Life is a terrible creature. It has devoured any stability quickly and without mercy. But I'll be bouncing back. And the sounds I bring back will be just as ruthless and strange as the creature of life. Only colder and deliberate.

You can feel the passion when you play. Every note played is an act of love and devotion to the piano and the expression its able to produce. Basically, you finger-fuck the piano and make it sing. The keys quiver in anticipation when you enter music stores and other fine homes to musical instruments.

Your hands are Casanovas. The keys may play while you're away, but when Daddys home he really makes some noise. Haha

Enough music-erotic wordplay. This was a beautiful rendition. Made life not so bad for a few minutes. Those moments are rare and I thank you for providing todays.

Phonometrologist responds:

Your first and last sentiments about this is all one could have ever hope for when writing or playing a piece for another.
Good to see you back and that life hasn't devoured you completely.
Your analogy reminded me of a quote I read about when one individual was in for a lecture by the great pianist Earl Wild, "A good pianist should be like a good lover. Too many pianists just bang their way through a piece. You want to take your time, caress the keys, make your audience anticipate the climax, and then bring a satisfying conclusion."

I'm not so sure if I really took enough time throughout this as I didn't think about love when playing this-- it was more out of a desperation to hold on to any beauty that one has left in the world by preventing it from slipping through thy fingers. By the end, I ease the clasp of my hands in my realization of the futility in that.
