[shopping aisle strut]

This is so funky, I love it! It does somehow sound like shopping music for some reason, but with such a kick and groove to it that makes it so danceable :D

The piano is very housey, and the pads are so beautiful, and the funky quacking lead instrument is just perfect. Everything just works so well together! Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Duel of Titans]

This definitely sounds pretty grand and impactful, very suitable for two massive entities butting heads. You also conveyed the space mood/atmosphere very well with the very reverbed instruments and effects. Everything sounds like it just fades out into the distance indefinitely. Would work great for an RPG boss battle or something similar. Great work, keep it up!

[PURSUIT THE PASSION]

I think reading the description gave the song a lot more meaning. It was already a beautiful song, as it had a very interesting structure and great use of instruments coming together. The mood and emotion also were very well established. But the description gave a more specific direction to the mood which made it so much more special. You made an awesome song, so great work and keep it coming!!

[Sitar Skirmish]

This is awesome, kind of like if Pokemon had a region based on India and made battle music for it. It really sounds like the same pace that would be in an exciting battle, with so much original flair and a very cool melody. I love the effects like reverb and delay on the different instruments too as they make the battle feel like it's taking place in a wide open area. Amazing work, keep it up!!

Hypervolt responds:

Thank you!

[Hypercube]

Odd time signatures are sick, and are usually harder to implement compared to melodies in stuff like 4/4 or 3/4, so it's really nice to hear music like this! It's really interesting and sounds very kind of like, space energetic ambient. Also kinda reminds me of early 2000s trance too in a cool little way. Great work, keep it up!

ssymboint responds:

Oh man, those time signatures can get funky. They're starting to get ingrained into my brain - help. I recently accidently made a guitar riff in 5/4 without realizing for the longest time that it was in an odd signature. They're seriously fun to mess around with and like rings one day, I hope to wear every weird time signature on my fingers. You're awesome, thank you! :D

[Countdown Showdown]

Very retro, love it! The synths are very nostalgic and I just love the rolling bass you have as I feel that kind of bass always helps make things a little intense but not too intense. The song just generally sounds like a night time drive or something in a cool car lol. Great work, keep it coming!

[Chromosphere 1000]

So beautiful! Sounds like something that would play in a game where you're inside some kind of cave on a different planet, or under a night sky in the wilderness. It reminds me a little of Starbound's ambient music even. The slight pitch distortion really helps establish the night time mood, and the general pitch sliding of the pads was a great touch. The dynamics of all the instruments together form a perfect atmosphere in general. Amazing work, keep it up!

fSYNCLIPSE responds:

Thank!

[Automaton]

Interesting intro and transition into the main melody, it's very menacing and boss like. The quality of sounds and instruments here is very crisp and clean, and the bass is definitely very intense. The mood was very well established and carried throughout the whole piece. Great work, keep it coming!

[My universe]

Very spaced out, nice :)
I like the synths you used, and the bass that really pumps up the whole song. I would suggest adding some more variation to avoid getting too repetitive, but otherwise it's very pretty. Great job, keep it up!

ZarrokOficial responds:

Thank you very much :D

[On The Way]

This sounds amazing! Really pumped up, adventurous and exciting. I love all the instruments, especially the mix between chiptune and more modern effects and synths. This feels like it would fit perfectly in a adventurous game and stuff too. I think my favorite part though is the melody, it really makes me happy. Keep up the awesome work!!!

Mizemu responds:

Thanks for feedback!, at first I was thinking of making it an acoustic style but for the composition I decided to make it chiptune
