[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

[I, The Machine]

This has probably one of the longest intros I've heard in a while... not in a bad way though! It's actually very cool how you set everything up for the big drop around the two minute mark. The slow moody pad intro that leads into more rhythm before the dubsteppy part kicks in is very sweet, and everything after is also just purely amazing! The melody is so beautiful and it's also not repetitive at all, making the whole piece sound like one big journey. From beginning to end you did an amazing job, great work and keep it up!!

[AstraBreak]

Very spacey and colorful, this sounds awesome! I love all the different chirpy instruments and melodies you put through this, and how the song changes it's phases through it's duration. It also has a strong rave-y feel to it so it makes you wanna dance. The ending speeding up and then slowing down was a cool way to finish :)

Great work, keep it coming!

Thank you bro! Glad you like it, I really appreciate it!

[Split Apart]

This song is really interesting because besides actually sounding good it has an interesting story behind it. The mood swings throughout the whole piece while the rhythm is kept the same, keeping a consistent flow but an illustration of emotion almost. It has excitement, happiness, scariness, confusion and even a bit of hopefulness when I listen to it. Kind of like the mind of someone going through different thoughts and who has an unpredictable future. The composition quality itself is great and the instruments you used were perfect for conveying all the different moods you had too. I'm really happy you decided to upload this because it's just awesome all around, so keep up the great work :D

[Rocket Start - UFO]

This sounds so exciting and pumped up, I love it!! It's like a crazy mix between house and dubstep lol, with very crisp and clean sounds and beautiful supporting instruments. I absolutely love the elements and the different sections throughout the song. The drop when the rhythm changes was also really cool. Just generally the melody really flows amazingly through the whole song. Keep up the awesome work!! :D

[sorry im late]

This is nice and light hearted, I really like it! For some reason it reminds me of sonic ending music (specifically sonic 2) but with an original melody and unique feel to it. I love the little blips pattern that you put that makes it feel like you're flying, and the pads just feel so gentle. Great work, keep it up :D

trevor8 responds:

haha, that didn't occur to me while i was making it, but it definitely does have a strong vibe of sonic 2's ending theme going on! thanks!

[Golden Yesterdays]

This is pretty! I love the kind of somewhat dark-ish atmosphere that has a curious and action mood to it. The integration of chiptune into synthwave is also always a great combo when done right, and you definitely nailed it! Great work, keep it up :)

[Chanson D'amour]

This is so beautiful, kind hearted and just sweet :)
Feels like something that could fit amazingly in a romantic ending scene of a movie or something, the production quality is just legit so high up there! It's very touching and has beautiful transitions, and an amazing usage of all the instruments. And I can't tell but did you fit an oboe or something at the end there? It sounded really cool!

Also the beginning reminds me a bit of a song by Edward Elgar called Salut d'Amour (Op. 12) which is a classical song from the romantic period lol. Not sure if intentional but still awesome. Keep up the amazing work as always!!

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much! This one is definitely a personal favorite of mine, and yes, that is an oboe in the end :)
Speaking of the beginning, you hit it right on the head haha, this whole tune was inspired by both Elgar's pieces Salut D'amour and Chanson De Matin :)
Sir. Edward Elgar is my favorite composer of all time, his music is just so powerful and moving to me, you'll constantly finding me getting "inspired" by his work all the time ;)

[Lume]

Woah this is amazing! I absolutely love it :D
Very happy and pretty intro leads into a hard and amazing melody. It sounds like something that represents a cross between music for space, or music for green flowery fields. The harmony is great and all the instruments you chose just work so well together. Keep up the absolutely amazing work, this is so good!!!

cosmochild responds:

How nicely you described that! Thank you :3
