[Wandering]

This flows very nicely :)
The percussion is very exciting and fast, and the bass is super supportive of that. The gentle piano really helps build up atmosphere and space, and the occasional vocals too. The bridge is a really good pause in the song that helps variation. Overall this is very nice, keep making more music!

Many thanks :)

[Think Before U Act]

Sounds like a song that would fit great for a custcene for dialogue, I love it! Very relaxed, light hearted, calm and adventurous. The little blip arps in the background are also super neat for immersion and space. Melody in this piece is probably the icing on the cake. Keep it coming with awesome loops!

[Through Your Heart]

Very interesting song you made, and it's definitely pretty fast so it fits perfectly into nightcore genre! The part that 1:45 definitely helps the song by adding some variety, and the bass/harmonics are very nice. The only thing I would suggest is perhaps giving this song more melody, as it sounds very repetitive (although the part that is repeating does sound nice) and I feel it would really spice up the work. Great job, keep it coming :)

Okinasai responds:

Thx man! Yeah, this was my first attempt at something similar to nightcore and I do agree with adding maybe like another melody along with the main one. And thx again, sure will.

[Itinerant Elephant]

Really interesting, relaxing beat. Short and simple, and I guess that's the charm of it! The drum pattern is a little interesting as I don't hear it too often, but you played well with it throughout your piece. The harmonics were very supportive of the melody too, so I think that was very neat. Keep it up! Do it for the elephants

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you so much! I appreciate the review!
For the Elephants!

[Unnamed Song 1]

This really sounds like something that came out of a Geometry Dash level! The vocal chops really added to that mood, but also the song sounds very original from the actual pieces in the game. I liked the grainy intro, it really builds up to what happens later. The progression is very simple so it's even more impressive how you made it sound very nice! Keep up the amazing work :)

P.S. It's even more amazing that you did this in FL Mobile lol

[Dreams of Sleep]

Very interesting use of a droning sound effect for a piece that sounds calm and ambient. I really love the pads you use, and just the progressions in general. My only suggestion is that there's one note in some of the sections which is off key (you can hear it around 0:13-0:15) which makes some parts of the song feel unsettling, but otherwise I really think this is an amazing work. Keep it up with the beautiful music :)

Rollforbear responds:

Thank you, when I get back to working on it ill make sure to look into that. I appreciate the note and the compliments.

[Tears From The Moon]

Something about the natural/non VST live recorded guitars made this song extra special. It sounds very calming, and the part that starts at 1:00 really kicks in this emotional moment in. Sounds like something you can dance to, or just have playing in the back of some night/relaxed environment. Very unique and beautiful work, keep it coming!

[Huenu - Sunflower]

This sounds so happy and pumped up! I love all the effects you have and different transitions you've included. Nothing dwells too long at any part, and things change just at the right time. The main lead is very fitting into the rest of the same song and has a pretty nice melody. I really think you did great with this, keep up the awesome work!

[Eiffel 65 - I'm Blue (SpeTheof Remix)]

This really has your classic lead/melody signature on it, I love this remix! Never heard you do much drumstep before though so that's pretty cool. I love how the melody wiggles so much the most probably lol

Can't wait to hear more from you :)

SpeTheof responds:

Thank you so much! it means a lot ^_^
