[Wondre - Break the Silence]

This is so beautiful! It feels like something that can play in so many different scenarios yet still be calming and peaceful. The timbre contrast between the breakbeat and melody was very nice and refreshing, and the rest was just soothing. Amazing work, keep it up :)

Wondre responds:

Thank you for the nice words! This was actually released early on accident (was supposed to be released July 1st lol). If you like this style, you will definitely love my upcoming album :)

[Deserted Town - One Such As Me OST]

Great work! This sounds perfect for what it's intended for, and has a really interesting feeling to it. The textures in the song sound ethereal and mystical, and the pauses in the melody make it sound very lonely. Keep it up :)

Payton-Petkus responds:

Thanks for the great feedback :)

[Wrath - The Musical Imp]

This definitely sounds cinematic! I love the slow buildup to the more intense part of the song, and the dynamics were arranged perfectly. The feeling is mysterious and melancholy, and you managed to encapsulate that very well. Great job, keep it coming!

TheMusicalImp responds:

Thank you for the kind words.

[Mysterious Woods]

Awesome work! The mysterious feeling is really emphasized a lot by the chords you shift to throughout as it creates this uneasy feeling. The instruments felt very nice and soft, and the strings helped build up suspense. I also love the triangle lol. Keep up the great work :)

DarkGod666 responds:

Thanks so much!

[Brazenly Squidding]

Didn't sound as much as Splatoon as I thought, but instead it sounded very nice and beautiful on its own! I love the ambient effects you have put in, especially towards the end. The melody also sounded very tropical and ocean like, so that fit perfectly. Keep up the awesome work!

[free fall]

Very interesting! The buildups are slow but definitely worth it, the mood can just change so easily from melancholy to creepy back to melancholy and more throughout, it makes you feel a lot of stuff. The intensity of the instruments is also just very beautiful. I really love what you accomplished here! Good job and keep it coming :)

[Fortitude]

This sounds pretty sick! After around a minute 10 seconds it really picks up and gets crazy. And I love the short melodic transitions here and there, they really add a flavorful punch to the song. The bass is also just amazing and I can really feel my whole head vibrate lol. Great job, keep it up!

[SMB1 - Underwater Theme (Remix)]

Definitely seems like something that can fit very well in SRB2 so I think you did a great job! The original track is short and sweet, but you managed to stretch it out into something that almost sounds different yet the same. Just beautifully arranged and very soothing, and perfect for a water level. Keep up the awesome work!
