[dance of the dragonflies]

This really reminds me of late 2000s/early 2010s dance music, stuff like DJ Splash, Dimrain47, etc. so it made me feel really nostalgic! The melody is really beautiful too :)
Only thing I'd suggest is adjusting the mixing (some instruments sound too loud, some too quiet), and maybe more percussion variation. But otherwise I love it, great work and keep it up!

You should definitely turn this into a full song, it sounds great so far!

[City]

Sounds very pretty, definitely fits a night time city atmosphere! It's calm, but sounds active/energetic enough to be fitting of a modern city feel. Especially like the bell electric piano like instrument you used in this. I also feel like the art by itsmega fits the song really well too! Great job guys, keep it up :D

[RyuiY - リグノゲートの機械兵]

Man, your music always sounds amazing, this is beautiful! I love the pick up in energy before things get even more intense. It sounds like the beginning of a grand battle or something about to go crazy. The piano feels so mighty, the atmosphere feels climactic, and it feels like the world is spinning around you as you listen to this. All the phases are so interesting, the progression makes this song feel like a whole journey. Amazing and beautiful work as always, keep it up!!

RyuiY responds:

Thanks for listening and amazing review!
I'll keep it :)

This does have a very fun and light atmosphere to it haha, great work! I like the idea of just starting out and seeing where the song takes you rather than going in with a plan. The progression was pretty fun and the instruments you picked fit in a nice lighthearted vibe. Great work, keep it up :D

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks dude! Glad to help!

[Inside The Code]

Звучит круто! Атмосфера как будто плаваешь в компе, не знаю как объяснить lol. Прогрессия трека очень подходить к атмосфере тоже. Так держать!

JustDen responds:

Спасибо, этого в принципе я и добивался

[SINK|ROOM]

I think this has a really cool atmosphere! It definitely feels like something meant to be nostalgic and dreamy, which really fits the description you wrote too. Kind of feels like being lost in a hazy dream, and it's not scary but it's not happy, it's just explorative kinda. Really interesting mixing choice too, everything sounds loud but also somehow works together! There's a ton of really beautiful synthscapey stuff going on here in general. Awesome work, keep it up :D

Greyvoice responds:

Thanks! The "loudness" of it all is basically me just experimenting with sub groups and various layers of sidechaining to teach myself how to do that dense "Solar Ash Kingdom" type of ambient soundtrack type of thing. Really loved how soupy it could all sound but you could still point out certain tracks point of origin in the mess

[Hygge]

I like how much of the instruments in this feel like each note gently comes in, it adds so much to the atmosphere. I just woke up but this makes me want to go back to sleep haha (in a good way, it's so calm!). I like how although slowly, the song keeps going somewhere, keeping things interesting. I feel like this would fit really nicely in a sandbox game or just some relaxing game in general. Keep up the good work :)

Marscael responds:

Yes it's a very cozy song isn't it. Im happy you enjoyed it.

[Violence Operator]

Damn what is this, it sounds amazing! This is definitely some insane boss fight energy, or just something that would fit super well in a fighting game. I love the beginning and how it introduces this mighty theme, and then goes absolutely crazy with percussion and everything at once. The lead you picked was awesome, and the guitars were just sick. Beautiful from beginning to end, keep up the beautiful work!!!

[Picochu's Theme]

Short but really cool atmosphere to it! Has the same atmosphere as older mall music, just relaxed and pretty. Very good mixing and just cool composition altogether. Awesome stuff, keep it up :D

Thank you so much, Michael!
