[Mushy Motion]

This sounds fun! I know it's good because even though I don't know how to describe mushy, it sounds very mushy haha. I love the synths you used, and the percussion was a great pick. Sounds like something that would be really fun to listen to on a car ride or just a long road trip. Great stuff, keep it up :D

Lalalo14 responds:

Haha yeah mushy is something you just feel. Can't describe it. Thanks alot man!

[Ascension]

This sounded very beautiful! Kind of gave me the image of a high speed flight through clouds, but not necessarily a scary or intense one, but just a very emotionally exhilarating one. The progression was fun and all parts fit very well together, and I really liked the main synth you used for the melody. Great work, keep it up!

[Broken Reflections]

This was a really interesting piece because it felt mostly percussive, but so much so that it almost felt melodic. I liked the experimental style! On one end it sounds spacey and atmospheric, and on the other it sounds intense. Could probably fit very well for some space station level in a game though, that's for sure! Great work, keep it up as always :D

[Nespro]

It's not easy to make a small melody catchy and varied throughout a track, but you did an awesome job! The track's atmosphere feels fancy but also light at the same time which I feel is a rare combo, and I feel it might be because of the contrast of the darker/deep bass compared to the brighter pluck for the melody; it's really cool! I also felt the song was pretty catchy so that's always a big plus haha. Awesome work, keep it up!

Psilenth responds:

Thanks. It is crazy that it only took me 2 hours. I made this start to finish in front of someone who went to a recording arts school and it blew her mind. I did a bunch of creative processing that they just don’t teach in school and she said it was like watching a magic trick.

[Jakki - Wonderland]

This sounded great! It was moody and dark, but it was also definitely very dancey and had great energy to it. It definitely had that "epic" atmosphere you were going for (the reverb really helped and so did the percussion) but it still felt like it had a lot of great dance elements to it. The mix was also very crisp and vibrant, it felt so nice on the ears. Love this track, keep it up!!

Jakki responds:

Thank u so much

[dagger]

This sounds dark and intense, I like it! I think you did a really good job with the mixing, because each instrument stands out in the right way. I can hear the drums very well and clear, while I can also hear that bell/melody sound stand out as well, and the pads blend in perfectly. Great work on this, keep it up!!

SamuraiOwl responds:

thank youuuu!! x)

[MECHANICAL TERROR]

I just found you and your music, and man this is insanely awesome stuff!! Gonna follow so I can listen to more soon :D

[Tucked Away]

This sounds like really pretty end of day/sunset music, it makes me think of a harbor of some calm city at dawn. It also sounds a bit like Pokemon music to me for some reason haha. Instrument selection in this was really nice as all the instruments complimented each other, and the slow down around 2:45 was also really cool. Great work, keep it up!!

anzky responds:

thank you!

[ritual]

Short but very pretty and atmospheric! I loved the articulation on the guitar, and the melody in general sounds really sweet. Keep it up :D

[Rebels]

I love the energy in this song! As soon as it started I already felt pumped, and then as it developed it just kept getting greater and greater. I typically don't listen to dubstep but this I really enjoyed, maybe it's the melody you used, the instruments, or the progression in general because all of those were great. There's a really big action atmosphere in this too which would fit perfect in a game or an animation. Amazing work, keep it up!!
