[Sandstorm]

Ooh, what a fun song! It sounds gentle and happy, yet at the same time the fast segments and percussion you use definitely make it befitting of the title you gave it. Some instruments also sounded desert-y, which is a great choice! The progression was fun, and this song would probably fit super well in some game level with a desert theme. Amazing work on this, keep it coming!!

Thank you! I couldn't have asked for more detailed feedback.

[Ethereal]

This was a very feel good song, I really enjoyed it :)
The melody is light, happy, and the synths you used match up very well with that. The progression is also light but varied enough to make it interesting and definitely even a bit dancey! I think you did a great job on this, keep it up :D

N0B4nn responds:

Thank you! The drop originally felt odd to me, because I've never used chords as the main focus in a drop before. I just kept going with it to see how it turned out and it worked decently well I'd say.

[Pooo1-Memories]

From the name, I didn't expect this kind of song, but it's really cool! I like how it already starts off kinda intense, but then gets more intense at one point with a heavier theme, and then slows down around 2:00 again. It's a cool touch and does kinda fit with the name, as it feels like you just remembered something vividly before you start thinking of something else/the memory fades away or something. Either way awesome track once again, keep it up!

man, thanks, i appreciate it

[feeling feline]

This sounded so goofy lol, I loved it :)
You managed to make the cats sound percussive which is sick, keep it up!

[Zenology (NGADM - Round 2)]

Давно не слышал твои треки, и сейчас слушая это я в шоке от того как ты можешь постоянно вытворят все эти шедевры! Музыка класс, хорошо напоминает дэнс треков 2010х годов с кучу твоей собственной оригинальностью. Моя любимая часть это в 1:11, когда acid начинается. Мелодия постоянно меняется и интересная с начало до конца. Как обычно, супер треки, так держать!!

Привет, octopus58! Спасибо за комментарий! Да, давненько я тебя не видел в комментах у себя под треками. Надеюсь, что почаще будешь их писать!

[Your Destiny (MEB Version)]

Ooh, this sounded interesting! Kind of magical/mystical in the beginning, and then it goes all crazy and intense! This would fit perfect in some kind of action game/movie sequence in some kind of temple or shrine maybe? Again I can't stress enough how good the bass and impacts sound, damn! Keep up the amazing work!!

[The College]

This song is great, I think you definitely got that NCS feel to it! The leads/instruments felt pretty impactful, and idk how to describe this part but it definitely felt like 2010s dance which I associate with NCS a lot. Just a few suggestions though, I felt like maybe the drop at 1:00 could've been a bit more impactful. Maybe a strong snare/kick with a more developed percussion line after? It would've helped really "kick off" the energy if you know what I mean. Honestly though aside from percussion it feels like you got everything else going pretty good! Keep it up :)

[Something That Lingers]

This is so magical and happy, I love it! The longer the song goes on, the further and deeper it feels. You definitely captured that lingering feeling, but not the scary kind of lingering, rather the hearty/fluttery linger if that makes sense haha. Beautiful choice of instruments, beautiful progression, and absolutely amazing melody. Keep up the amazing work!!

Thomaisho responds:

Thank you so much!

Yeah, something was on my mind when initially making this. I couldn't pinpoint the feeling, so I suppose this is a representation of that :)

Thank you for your kind words ❤️

[Dew]

This sounds kinda spacey and magical, I love it! I love square synths in general lol so I may be a bit biased, but the melody just sounds really beautiful as well which makes it a perfect combo. I like all the sweeps you use, the pads, and the percussion fits very perfectly too. All I wish is that the song was a little longer because it felt so nice to listen to! Great work, keep it up :D

[[AJVK] "Bright Horizons"]

This has a pretty nice "feel good" atmosphere to it, I like it! The build up was very interesting, subtle but felt good when the bigger part kicked in around 0:51. I also like the progression, it maintains the same energy and vibe throughout and makes this song perfect for some enjoyable outdoor event or something similar. Great work, keep it up!

AJVK responds:

thank you for your feedback! glad you enjoyed it :D
