[Euphemora]

I spaced out while listening to this haha but it was really fun! Kinda space techno-y with fun instruments. It also feels like it would be good for focus music or drawing music maybe, it has a nice steady beat and no big surprising changes, which can help you zone in. Great work, keep it up!

[Root]

As soon as the harp/string pluck intro started I instantly fell in love. The percussion was already fun and exciting, but that beautiful jungle-y melody really captivated me. The progression in this song is really fun and adventurous, but also wonderous and mystical all at once. I think that the specific pluck instrument you use for most of the melody really helps it come to life more. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

[rock n roll]

This sounds so interesting, I can't quite put my finger on what it reminds me of but there's def something haha. It's cool because it sounds both like something that would fit for an early 90s movie for some kind of goofy/fun actiony scene, but also sounds like it would fit perfectly in an SNES fighting game or something. You always manage to make really unique styles and atmospheres for your songs! Keep up the awesome work as always :D

GuitARBEn responds:

Wow, thank you for this nice comment!

[Still Isolated]

Nice! This kinda sounds like it's in the style of 90s Eurodance, with more modern dance instruments. The oturo was really interesting especially considering the key change, but it was pretty. I like the piano you used as well! Keep up the great work :D

Belastet responds:

Thanks for the feedback!!

[Dreams Return]

Very nice and chill trance song. It feels like late 90s/early 2000s trance too, which was such a great era for trance music! The pads you picked are very beautiful and help build the atmosphere, while the lead sound is prominent and helps carry the song with a fun and dancey melody. Great work, keep it up!

FLAVOUR-STAR responds:

Thank you very much! I wanted to convey exactly what you described with this trance track.

[Projection]

I was listening to this while working and honestly it did really help me zone in and focus better! It has a steady flow which is interesting and beautiful, yet not too chaotic which leaves room for relaxation and focus. There was so many variation throughout the track as well, so it felt like it never got boring! I typically don't listen to longer tracks and stuff but I'm definitely happy I listened through the whole thing here haha. Great work, keep it up!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

[Interdimensional]

You should be in love with it, it sounds awesome! Not even for like a first attempt kind of thing, just in general it sounds great :D
I love the energy and atmosphere, everything is almost always constantly moving, and the percussion work is insane. Everything keeps changing up and varying, preventing the song from stagnating and keeps it interesting. There is also definitely a spacey feel, so I think the name is very fitting. Keep up the amazing work!!

KuanMusic responds:

Tysm!!! :D

[goodnight, goodbye]

If I heard this while falling asleep I probably wouldn't be sleeping anymore lmao
but that said I think it's a pretty cool experiment, it has a soothing element to it but at the same time is also so unsettling and gives a feeling of impending doom. Keep up the great work :D

wineplume responds:

"feeling of impending doom" wow... it is intended to be kinda unnerving at some point, yep. thank you for the review!

[leaving the past behind]

You're really good at making different kinds of fun styles, I love how this song sounds! It sounds like a more energetic 80s pop track. The instruments you chose are very befitting of the era, and also have an uplifting vibe while being more fast paced. I loved the progression a lot, and the melody was very beautiful. Keep up the amazing work as always, love hearing new stuff from you!

GuitARBEn responds:

Thanks!

[~[Lithium]~]

I like the slow build up of instruments in this song, it has that zone out atmosphere again and is relaxed. The bass you put in feels fun and adventurous, while the main instrument (electric piano?) has a simple but pretty pattern that helps keep pushing the song forward. Great work once again, keep it coming!
