[Waltz Of Dubiety]

Came in here expecting something techno dancy or something, but it's actually a waltz, that's cool! I like classical music, waltzes included. This one seems very thought provoking to some extent and just sounds like good thinking music. The main melody is very beautiful, and the simple harmony is great for both the genre and mood. The strings and pitch shift in the end though are absolutely beautiful. Amazing work, keep it coming!

Почти всегда когда я прохожу мимо твоих треков, они всегда отличные! Мне очень понравилось как ритм меняется в разных местах, и струнные инструменты красиво звучат. Я буду рад слышать больше от тебя!

[Shooting Stars]

Sounds very pretty, I especially like the Glockenspiel and Kalimba in the song. It was very calming and almost sounded classical, similar to Pachelbel's Canon. A little sleepy sounding too, in a good way of course! Great work as always, keep it coming :)

[Chill Somg [Remaster]]

Very relaxing, beautiful and calm. I think it was definitely very chill too. I really like the guitar you used, and the calm melody it played while the soft drums and strings helped carry it forward. The whole song just made me feel warm and cozy. Great work, keep it coming!

Thanks!

Wow this is so groovy, happy and even nostalgic a little, I love it! Everything about this sounds beautiful and makes me feel very warm and cheery. I think the Rhodes piano was a great touch, but all the other instruments that surround it just bring it out so well, and the mixing is just perfect. I love it very very much, keep up the awesome work!!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

[Leviathan Wakes]

This was amazing! The opening made it sound like a ocean battle almost which is perfect for a song about the Leviathan. What I loved the most though is the buildups you have over time, rising the suspense and intensity more and more throughout. This is a perfect example of storytelling cinematic music and I think you did it extremely well. And all the instruments you used were utilized to their fullest potential. Amazing work, keep it coming :D

[where is everyone]

This sounded very unsettling and eerie, which I guess was the point and I think you did very well! I like that you literally used the sound of something breaking as a percussive noise throughout the song, it was strange but fitting. The pads are actually very beautiful, and help you catch a break around 2:00 before more kicks in. I also think you did the ending very well because it kinda emphasizes the eeriness even as it's fading out! So amazing work, keep it up :D

thank you

Happy late birthday! lol
This was an interesting song idea, and I think you did it well. Mixing could use a tiny bit of work but otherwise it was very fun to listen to! The instruments you picked also work very well together and carry the song in a good way. So great work, keep it coming!

MakuTMT13 responds:

THANK YOU MUCH! I appreciate every piece of feedback I get, and I hope the next track you hear will have better mixing cuz i most certainly still don't know too much about that just yet. Regardless, thank you again!

[Rift]

You definitely nailed that mysterious vibe you were going with, great work! I love the build ups over instruments over time, and the variety of instruments you used with different kinds of effects on them. I feel the piano really helped add to the feeling you were going for, while the main bass and lead synth were just amazing overlays. It's just very beautiful and I honestly think it would fit perfect in some game! Great work, keep it coming :)

ChordsBoy responds:

Thank you so much! :)

[blurry bush]

This sounded very lively, beautiful and fun. I loved all the lift ups you had in this song, the interesting style you used, the guitars, how percussion picked up throughout, and much more. It's just very happy sounding and maybe even a little hopeful. Great work, keep it up!
