[Beach Dumbs]

I think you nailed the reference right on the head, while still making this very unique! I definitely thought of that one song as soon as your piece started but the unique melody and added instruments for a bigger feel give this song a whole different direction on it's own. The fact that you managed to get the style so right though is just amazing. Keep up the amazing work as always, this is great!

Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you liked it :)

[DYE ON ICE - Stay]

This definitely sounds like classic house music, good job! I like how even though the chord progression stays the same throughout the song still manages to stay interesting and entrancing. It sounds like something that could easily play at like a fancy night bar by the beach or something. Great work, keep it up!

Oh shoot the drop around 0:27 is just awesome! It sounds very nostalgic for some reason; maybe its the melody or maybe its the instruments you used, or both. But I love it so much! The space between the intense sections was also very nicely done and it helped the song stay interesting. And when the drop comes back the second time the new melody is just perfect. Also the second transition after the drop is just so fun even though it's not an intense section within itself! The last drop is also something new and awesome. Idk there's just too much good stuff I can say about this haha, just keep up the amazing work!!

thank you! i appreciate the kind words ! :)

[Memory of Today]

Very nice, chill and groovy. The instruments sounded very natural, not very automated if you know what I mean; especially that bass guitar. You also fused some interesting electronic elements into this, like the choppy gated instrument towards the end. Also, you picked the perfect piano for the style haha. Great work, keep it coming!

[Last chance]

The main riff in this was just awesome. I really liked how it sounded as it was very energetic and happy. The transition between the two riffs was also very well done! Your whole song sounds like one happy adventure from beginning to finish, and idk what it is more about it that I can't describe but it's just perfect. Great work, keep it up!!!

Thank you so much! I wasn't expecting such a good feedback! Thanks for listening! :D

[Happy Advent Season]

Very calm, night like and magical. I like the different instruments you used throughout. The chord progression is pretty interesting and unusual I felt, but that adds to the uniqueness of the song. The glockenspiel/music box you used is my favorite instrument as it really brings out that magic feeling. Great work, keep it coming :D

FLAVOUR-STAR responds:

Glad you like it and thank you :)

[sullen victory]

Short and simple. but very sweet! It is surprising how you can mimic reverb with just release haha

Even with just one instrument you managed to make a short but calming and deep tune, I really enjoyed it! Keep up the great work :D

bryce responds:

glad you enjoyed it!

[Chromatic Rush]

Very beautiful and interesting the whole way through! I like all the different breaks and drops you have, including the time when there's a little break in between. I like the synths and pads you used, especially the "soundtrack" sounding one (idk why it's called soundtrack btw so I dunno if you know what sound I'm talking about). Percussion also really helped the melody just pop on this one and keep it going forward. Great work, keep it up!

Thanks!!
