[Cosmic Songs]

The lead in the beginning sounds so familiar, I can't place my finger on it! This song starts out very energetic right off the bat with a great level of suspense and action. It would feel very fitting for some kind of movie/game sequence where you're in some kind of lab trying to escape or steal something. The instruments you picked also sound very good and help with the overall ecstatic and intense atmosphere of the song. Awesome stuff, keep it up!

[HOLDINGBACK]

This song sounds fancy if that makes sense haha, I really like it! It has a very danceable beat, especially when the drop hits everything just feels so cool and energetic. The synths you picked out are great, and the bass was really popping along with the very crisp percussion. Very clean and very awesome, keep up the great work!

[Reflect]

What an interesting song, I think it definitely reflects the feeling of being overwhelmed. Especially in the beginning when some of the instruments sounded harsher, but the song itself didn't necessarily sound sad or angry or anything like that. Kind of hit that perfect point that helps convey the emotion very well. Meanwhile, the song is also just so pretty and heart warming! The progression feels like it's carrying me away through space, and the timing of certain instruments feels perfect. I think you did an amazing job on this, keep up the great work!!

Thank you for all the positive feedback, it’s really encouraging.

[Autumns]

It's calming and pretty, I like it :)
The piano was really nice, but adding a horn was also a great choice as it kinda gives this extra layer of warmth to the song as well. The improv also keeps changing and doesn't really repeat much, so it sounds very interesting! Great work, keep it up :D

[Aurora]

I really love how watery this song is! It's hard to explain, but it's the cutoff on certain instruments, the melody itself, the pacing, etc. that kind of create that water-like atmosphere. Besides that, the song is also very pretty and relaxing! Great stuff, keep it coming :D

[Bye, Spring!]

Красиво :)
Очень подходить под окончание лето; мелодия веселая, и инструменты отлично подходят к атмосфере. Как обычно, супер, так держать :D

[Adventurous Origins & Beginnings]

Yet another awesome song woooo! The energy in this one is very nice and peaceful. For some reason it reminded me of original Pokemon music mixed with Gameboy Zelda music. I love how even though it's a calm song, the progression avoids being repetitive and sounds like a journey on its own. Beautiful work once again, keep it coming :D

[Around The Globe]

Yay another awesome track!! This one has a great energy to it, kind of like something that would play in a racing game or strangely enough maybe even an old flash platformer (it just gave me that feeling for some reason haha). The progression is great, and I love how it sounds retro-y and modern at the same time. I also really like how intense the energy is, it's very fitting. Awesome work once again, keep it up :)

[Polly]

Sounds really pretty, I like the picture you included too as it does somehow match the song I think haha. It feels like mood wise maybe the transitioning of spring into summer, with the heat starting to kick in while the flowers are still out. I like the instruments, and the moody yet happy progression. Everything just ended up sounding really sweet and relaxing with a good kick to it. Great work as always, keep it coming :)

BusanBlack responds:

Thanks! Yeah the heat is really scorching everything. Stay hydrated!

[The Wizard's Tower]

Pretty song :)

Like the other reviewer commented, this did remind me of Minecraft! I think it's the instruments you used in general, and not just the fact that it's ambient. Nevertheless though, the song manages to establish an original and unique feel, with a pretty and calming feeling. It's looming, but not in a threatening way, and more ponder-y. The progression in general is great for an ambient song, it's not too harsh and fast, but also varies up through its entirety. I think you did a great job, keep it up!!
