[nostalgic.]

I think you definitely hit that nostalgic feeling in a combination of the melody you made, the instruments you used, and the overall progression of the song. The instruments were soft and dreamy, the pacing was on the slower side (not in a bad way at all though), and the melody is very introspective; combining all these things really intensifies the feeling you were going for. I think you did a great job! Keep it up :D

thank you very much! and for the support too)

[Another World]

Magical, dreamy, and beautiful, I love it :)

I love a lot of the older Roland instruments so that instantly hit off well with me. However you used all these instruments to create a magical melody, which made me love the song even more! The progression was fun and exciting all the way through, and I found myself playing the song like two more times after it finished because of how nice it was haha. Keep up the amazing work!!

Hey thank you so much! Glad you like it <3

[Watching Paint Dry]

This sounds so nice! I love tracker music :O

You gave it that early 90s tracker music feel for sure, and the track also sounds exciting and full of energy. It would definitely fit well in a game, maybe for some kind of nice city or luscious field area. The track also stayed varied and would never get stagnant, so it was fun to listen to from beginning to end. Awesome work, keep it up!!

What an amazing song! I like how you experimented writing something in 5/4, yet made it sound so beautiful. It sounds like exploring an alien planet, with some intensity but also tons of wonder. The synths you used were so cool too, and really helped contribute to the unique feel of the track. I even wish it was longer because of how good it was haha. Keep up the beautiful and amazing work!!

thank you!! glad you enjoyed it

[Monochrome]

Very chill and spaced out, I like it! Just generally sounds really relaxing and atmospheric, with a great choice in instruments and pretty melodies. I like the soft piano stabs, the pads you used, and the "slowed" feeling percussion that contributed to the songs special atmosphere. Great work, keep it up!

[Neon Dreams]

очень приятная атмосфера, легкая и воздушная :)
Под такую музыку можно уснуть спокойно или глубоко задуматься. Как обычно, супер!

О, привет, octopus58! Спасибо за комментарий!

[Red Cloudscape]

Light, floaty, and happy, I like it! It sounds like something that would play if you take a nap floating through the sky or something on a cloud around the time the sun would only start to begin setting :)

I like your timing, the instruments you used, and the different sub melodies that would accompany the main one. The mixing isn't bad either honestly. Great stuff, keep it up!

thanks :)

[Cloudy Clouds]

Sounds adventurous and light, great combo I think! Definitely would fit a sky level in some video game, it feels so jumpy and happy in general. Progression is also fun and fits the cloudy theme along with the instruments you used. Keep up the great work!

[Sonic Dreams]

Great song to space out to, it is low intensity and very spacious. Kinda gives a floaty feeling, as if you're about to fly off into the sky :)

The pacing is great through the whole song, things feel like they come in at just the right time. The repetitive nature also helps instill calmness and further/deeper relaxation. Great stuff, keep it up!

Swift-Reason responds:

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for

[Ayrton]

You nailed it with the description, it sounds really nostalgic! I dunno why but songs in C and F minor are usually already kinda nostalgic to me, but the pads with the slow decay really amplify that feeling even further. And so do a lot of the other instruments you use, they have a similar profile to those from the 90s. The nostalgic part however is only one of the many reasons I like this song though...

The melody is amazing. Atmosphere wise it's both relaxing and adventurous, curious and calming, and introspective as well. The progression from start to finish feels like a journey and as I watched the timer get closer to the finish of the song I didn't want it to end so badly! Everything just sounded so beautiful. Amazing work, keep it up!!
