[Christmas Is Coming]

I love the feel of this, its very cinematic but also very happy! Definitely fits the whole christmas music atmosphere, but with interesting harder hits (in an emotional/good way) than usual. The percussion was a great choice with the jingle bells and everything, and the bells also really helped add to the atmosphere too. Great work, keep it up!!

Thank you!

[Glacial Upheaval]

Beautiful, cinematic, and orchestral, I really like it! It definitely had a mighty chilliness to it, especially in the beginning with the pad/bell intro, so the title is really fitting. I also really like how you incorporated synth elements, made the song sound more fantasy-y. Percussion was also very well picked out and orchestrated. Amazing work, keep it up :D

Thank you kindly!

[Subzero]

Dark and dancey, nice! I love the square lead, it was a great choice along side that crunchy dark and low bass. The atmosphere is also really nightclub-y with an action element to it. It's both danceable but also would work great in some dark action game or something haha. Keep up the great work!

Dead-Again responds:

Thank you so much

[ictg18]

This had a very cool spacey-actiony energy to it. Kind of like impending doom atmosphere with a really tight time. The leads you picked were perfect, and the tempo acceleration in the beginning and deacceleration at the end were cool choices. I could totally see something like this be used for an action phase in some space game too! Great work, keep it up :)

[Cheshyre - MC9 - Djjaner Remix (2024 remake)]

Great energy, awesome leads, and just great remix all together! Fits super well with the crazy and chaotic feel of madness, with your own unique touch to it. Awesome track in general, keep it up!

[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
