[UF 13: Mighty Prayers]

This song really sounds like it's all about wrath of some angry deity creature. I think you definitely nailed it story wise :)

The strings are very beautiful and emotional, suspenseful and hopeful. Battling along to this song in a game would just be perfect! The brass is also very classic and nostalgic, but also helps illustrate this whole important/royal feeling in the theme. Amazing work, keep it coming!

[Mummify]

My favorite about this song has to be the bass. It sounds amazing and very well mixed in to the rest of the song! This track also sounds like it could easily be in some kind of game, it just has a very unique progression that feels very fun to maybe play a game along to or something. The melody was also just very nice, it's rare to have that in dubstep. Great work, keep it coming :D

SOTAREKO responds:

This means so much to me!! thank you ^ ^

This sounds like it could've easy came out of a Boards of Canada album, it's very clean! It feels spooky (especially the cutoff at the end), yet very nice and sweet somehow. The crackles and little sound effects throughout sound very pleasant, and make listening to this very fun. Keep up the nice work :)

[Horizon]

This was crazy good! I love how atmospheric this felt for a future bass track. Lots of clean reverb, and hi-fi sounds that amplify the listening experience. The bass really pops too so that's perfect for this genre. I think it might be one of my favorite future bass tracks I heard on NG, so I definitely wanna hear more from you. Keep up the awesome work :)

More future bass tracks are coming, really soon ;)

[[Dynamix 2021] L. Mity - Clock Waltz]

This is absolutely beautiful, dynamic, and hectic in a wonderful way. The violins in this give me chills, and the crisp soundscapes you use really gives me a huge feeling of immersion. The melody lines also get crazy with arpeggiated notes, even the harmony is arpeggiated at times. This is really one of the best classical compositions I've heard in a while, I think you should be really proud, and I sure hope you make much much more music! Keep it up :D

[l a m eㅤ b u tㅤ a l i v eㅤ ( a tㅤ l a s t )]

This is such an interesting song, very progressive but the use of effects as instruments, and having that windows text to speech voice was a really cool addition. It's very cool overall, and I think you're onto something great :)

It's also very interesting when the song takes a bit of a weird scary turn towards the first fourth of the time.

My only criticism is that the song sounds like it needs a little bit of mastering because some parts get very loud or just drown out other sounds. But besides that it's a very creative idea, and I hope you keep making more music!

[Sonic Legacy - Undercooked Underling]

This sounds so fun and exciting, I love it! The bass is popping, the synths and leads are full of life, it's just such a great villainy song to listen to. The harmony really helps bring this to life too I feel, so this is really great. With a composer like you I'm sure this project will get crazy popular, keep it up :D

AvizuraNG responds:

Thank you!

I really like the soft breaks shifting into hard beats with this song. Honestly as much as I'm indifferent to hardstyle I actually like how you planned this one out! It also really sounds like classic hardstyle too, so you nailed that part. Overall its just a great combo of that genre plus a little trance and techno, so keep at it, you're doing great :)

[Empty Streets]

Wow, this sounds spooky, chiptuney, phasey, and so many other things at the same time! A mix of things like this is surely to be unique compared to a bunch of other beats in a similar style. One thing I really like about this beat in particular is that it doesn't stay static. It's not just a repetition of the same thing over and over for two minutes straight, but you made it sound different as it goes on while still keeping some kind of root melody or pattern in the back. Great work, keep it coming :)

Casper responds:

Thanks for the kind words!

[Spaziergang]

Really creative use of actual audio from a walk to mix in with the music! The melody was also very unique and interesting, not like usual house I'd hear. But it was very interesting, and the instruments you chose made it sound like a very jazzy kinda walk. Really cool and neat idea, keep it up!

Drop17 responds:

Dude thank you for writing this. I was really unsure what to think of the song. To see this comment, knowing that I did not waste my time creating and actually getting explicit praise for my efforts really made my evening!
