[Quattuordecillion]

Really interesting song, I liked it from beginning to end :)
I really like the build up as it sounds very calm and curious, and then the climax gets intense for just a second or two before the song starts relaxing slightly more and more. It felt very spacey, and very otherworldly too. The minute of ambience at the end of birds chirping and just outdoors in general was a very nice touch as it just makes the rest of the song feel comfy. Awesome work, keep it up!!

[6x3 (helito6x3)]

Ooh this sounds pretty interesting, I like it! Sounds spacy, and even shifts a little between ominous sometimes, curious, and happy/excited. Your use of panning that you do sometimes is very interesting and something I don't usually see. All the instruments you chose were very good too and work together very well. Great work, keep it up!

[Pencil - no title uhhh]

Very happy and exciting, I love it! It sounds a little nostalgic for some reason lol, and gives me a lot of summer feelings. Absolutely love your square leads and other synths you use for your melody, and the bass really pops alongside the percussion. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Sand Dune]

Very snappy and crisp percussion, great job on the mixing there! Definitely also sounds West Asian too with the scales you used and the progressions. The piano added a nice touch as well with its dark note stabs. The string accompaniment is good, and the occasional brighter piano plucks also give a lot to this. But yeah this is awesome, and I hope you have a great vacation!

Thank you very much, I'm glad that you liked the composition. About mixing.... sometimes it's just the combination of the sounds that makes it good to listen I have some pre made settings for all the mixes I make that I twitch a bit for every song of course,but as said this time it was luck :)

[ok i pull up]

Very floaty and def very ambient, I haven't heard much of your music yet besides the lunar kicks theme but this is also pretty cool! The phaser effect is really cool and adds to the spacey feeling for sure. Keep up the based work Cam :D

hehe thank u michael!!!

[Long Time]

This almost sounds like an intro song to some show, it's hard to explain but the format I think is what made me think that lol. It's really good though! Interesting spacing of the different parts makes it sound unique, and the vocals were a very interesting but good choice for accompaniment. Great work, keep it coming :D

Doumaaa responds:

Thank you for the praise, kind sir! And thanks also for taking the time to write a thorough review. That's a cool idea and of course I'd be really happy if one day a creation of mine would make it to be an intro of a show :)

[Scarlet Sands]

Very interesting and beautiful synthetic textures here, I love it! The sonic/mega drive scratching sound effect that comes on occasionally is also a cool touch lol. I love the progression, and the first drop-ish part that happens around 0:56. The song just keeps taking cool twists and turns throughout in general which is nice. I never played kerbal but I hope that the people who play the mod appreciate this awesome soundtrack! Great work, keep it up!

[Spring]

The string plucks remind me of blooming flowers and plants and stuff, I like it! Overall just a cute melody, definitely fitting of something like a spring sunrise. What's interesting is that the plucks maintain the same melody throughout, but there's a lot of instruments with different melodies going through phases, so it's a nice way to keep things fresh. Keep up the great work :)

NikoN1nja responds:

Thanks for the review man, I appreciate it :)

[stupid song]

This is a pretty chill beat, I really like it :)
It feels like a great loop to just have on in the background if you wanna feel cozy or space out at the end of a long day. I like the wobbly synth that sometimes comes along to harmonize to the melody, and sometimes contributes to it. The shiny/glimmering synth noise occasionally is also very nice and adds to the feel. Awesome work, keep it up!!

[File Select]

Feels mysterious and curious, and a little strung on emotion even. Pretty interesting direction for a file select theme, but I like it! Definitely feels like if I heard this in a game I'd probably linger on the select a little just to hear the music play out in it's entirety first. In fact I kinda didn't notice but I let this play on loop three times haha. Great work, keep it up!

LloydeSorrow responds:

Thanks! I am definitely glad that you like it. Even more glad that it looped a few times before you noticed it! Thank you again!
