[Nocturnal Waltz]

I love hearing newer attempts at making classical music, this one was great! The rhythm was definitely very waltzy, and the use of strings was really dramatic and beautiful. But when the mallets come in it sounds even more amazing with how you made that transition work! This is just overall amazing stuff, keep making great music :)

[Star Compass]

Sounds very wintery, videogamey, mysterious, and exciting all at the same time. And it's beautiful :)
I love the progression you used for this song, and especially towards the end it sounded very cinematic too. It never sat still in one spot, it always kept changing, which is something that also made it special. Keep it up!

[-Smooth Sailing-]

Very relaxing and beautiful! I could fall asleep to something like this, or work, or just space out. I love the drum pattern, the soft chord progressions, and just the overall feel this song gives off. It's awesome, and I hope you keep making more awesome stuff!

[Watch for Spiders]

What an interesting mix of sounds. It sounds jazzy, playful, and a little freaky/spooky at the same time. Kind of all in a perfect balance to create something very unique sounding! The instrumentation choice was also really good for what you were going for. Great work, keep em coming :)

[Spring Swing 2]

This has a great rhythm! The dynamics work very well in this too, and the whole thing just sounds really dancy especially for a video game song. And as always, the arps you make are really fitting. Keep up the awesome work :)

[Uranium Mine]

This sounds very enticing and like it builds up to something cool! Love the arps, and the sound choice too. I think it would be cool if it built up to more maybe in the last quarter, but it sounds great just as is :)

Keep it coming!

GoogieBeatz responds:

Thanks! I would have done more with the second half if I had the file space for it, lol

[Junk Nation]

Oh yeah I love this! It sounds so keygen-y, which is probably my favorite subgenre of chiptune. Love the quickly hopping arps and staccato notes everywhere. The melody is also pretty good sounding. Keep up the awesome work :)

[PI 07: "Confused Memoirs"]

This sounds very fun and playful, kind of interesting what the boss would look like in this stage :)
It's very interesting in terms of chord progression, varying up the track, and the motifs you tried to put in sounded well put as well. Oh and the instrument choice is also great! Keep up the awesome work, and I hope your project goes well :D

[Constantine]

This would work perfect for a pause menu or some kind of lobby in a game. It's very relaxing, loops seamlessly, and could honestly be something to fall asleep to lol. It's just overall beautiful! Nice work, keep it up :)
