[Battle Theme]

Ooh wow another great song! And this one has such great energy too. It really feels suspenseful and full of action. Sometimes it gives off the mood as if a large enemy is rising from the ground, and sometimes it just feels like straight up impending doom. Great progression and build up of tension in this as well. Keep it coming :D

[Hiraeth]

Very fluttery and magical, I love it! The song has a softer energy but still kind of adventurous and hopeful. The instruments do a great job at filling up the "space" of the song, and the progression is pretty fun. Great work, keep it up!

[Crop Circles]

There's a very interesting rhythm to this song! I like all the clicks and pops that you added here and there, and the pads were super warm and fuzzy. You also managed to fit quite a bit of progression and variety in just one minute. Great work, keep it up!

[Skyline]

This is so uplifting! I love all the soft instruments coming together to make this very feels good song with a great atmosphere. The percussion was super well done, not too much action, but just enough energy to fit a song like this and give it a cool edge. The piano melody in this was beautiful, and everything was timed perfectly too. Amazing work, keep it coming!!!

SilverTunes responds:

This means a ton, man! Thanks a bundle!

[Dunes]

I instantly felt the desolate/desert-y feeling when starting to listen to this song. I like how the energy also starts off slow, but picks up to get more actiony, it's definitely befitting of an adventure theme! The different phases you have are varied, yet linked enough to make this song itself feel like a journey/story. I also love the mixing on this, it's very good and I feel like I can hear everything so clearly. Amazing work, keep it up!!

EVLanche responds:

Aww, thanks a lot! I'm glad I conveyed things accurately for you ^ ^

[Watching the stars]

Interesting song! I like how you transition into the different phases and kinda keep the energy going once it picks up. The sub bass is also definitely good and very audible. Keep up the great work!

Axsou responds:

Thank you!

yeah sub bass is something I'm still trying to figure out but I'm getting better!

[Ms - Litrary]

Very mysterious and explorative feel, great work! I like how you played with dynamics, panning, and other effects. The instruments are chosen very well and compliment each other nicely, especially the percussion set you chose for this. My only suggestion is that the accordion instrument is a little quieter at its peak when its doing that in/out volume shifting phase. Otherwise amazing work, keep it up!

Msapps responds:

Im so happy that you liked it!

[VANISH]

I can see why you tagged this as omnigenre because wow, I have no idea how many different styles are in this thing altogether but it's insane. And it makes for a chaotic, crazy, and awesome song! All the twists and turns make this feel like a journey from beginning to end, and the chops/glitches add a heavy yet awesome accent to the song. It has a very unique flavor and stands out very well on its own. Great work for being daring with this and just for the awesome song in general, keep it coming!!

Sydosys responds:

thank you so much!!! yeah i try to usually keep my songs at least a little bit "out there" cause i want my music to be a lot of things, but never generic.

[Funky Cat Cavern]

Groovy! I can definitely hear the Cave Story inspiration, but it still sounds original and cool. It sounds a little silly but that's perfectly fitting for the theme of cats haha. I think it's the warbly instruments/fast modulation. The melody is very nice and also has a curious feel to it. Also the art is cool! Keep up the great work :D

[wanna be cool]

I'm glad I clicked this song, it sounds so groovy! I love the wobbly bass instrument you have in this, it immediately gives the song a lot of character. The melody itself is beautiful, and the pad like instruments also provide a great deal of space along with the reverb/delay. The progression is what also gives this song a funky feel but also very laid back. It's awesome and I love it a bunch, keep up the great work!!
