[Cloud village]

Before even reading the description, I felt like the mood from this was very close to Kakariko Village from OoT, so I think you really managed to accomplish your intended feeling. This is the second song of yours I hear, and it's just so beautiful! It's full of emotion, intrigue, and creates beautiful images in my head. I also really like the instruments you used, and how you articulated them. Once again, absolutely beautiful work, keep it up!

I haven't heard your music in a bit but this is awesome! It's full of that classic trance I love from the 2010's with a great mix of trance and techno elements. And yeah, I definitely hear that Celtic influence in there as well, it makes for an amazing combo of styles while being really original as well. I love the progression, and the timing of the different lead instruments coming in. You never fail to impress, keep it up!!

Я обожаю транс техно! И у тебя так красиво получилось... Кроме отличного сбора инструментов, прекрасной мелодии, и ахрененой прогрессии, эффекты которые ты использовал просто окончательно сделали этот трек шедевром. Как обычно твои треки супер, жду следующего!!!

Спасибо большое за отзыв!
А ещё я случайно тебе поставил "scared" на комментарий, хаха

This would fit perfectly in a game if you're exploring some kind of ruins, either as something ambient or mysterious/lurking. It doesn't have a happy or sad atmosphere to it, but just very mysterious/shrouded. The mixing is top notch, and the way you arranged the very fitting instruments is perfect. Love it a bunch, keep it up!

[Hysteria]

This would fit so well in a snowy night time level for a game! It just feels very cozy, but also curious with a punch of adventure. I like how it feels kinda subtle at times, but also still very present if that makes sense. It varies up quite a bit which prevents it from sounding boring and instead very fun. As always amazing work, keep it up :D

Its that upbeat snowy day song. Ive been longing to go outside and enjoy the day but its just too packed with snow to even drive. This past week we had a snow storm so Ive been stuck inside. I went outside for 30 minutes to clear snow and ended up getting frost nip. But I just want to have a little adventure. So it comes back to music to be the escape Im looking for. Thank you Octopus ^_^

[Snowman]

This sounds kind of like a light journey, which is really interesting to me. It doesn't feel like you're depicting aggressive heavy snowfall, but rather a light and beautiful snowy atmosphere, which I think is perfect! The variation in this track is very impressive, and is on par with your other amazing tracks. The instrumentation is also amazing and just amplifies/compliments all the instruments together. As always your work is awesome, keep it up!!

[jeopardize]

The sample that plays in the beginning reminds me of something I've heard before but I am not sure it's what I'm thinking of haha. The actual song is amazing though! I like the build up to the point where the melody really starts to take form. It's a longer experimental track of yours which is also pretty neat. Great stuff, keep it up!

wineplume responds:

this sample is also used in Bomfunk MC's - Freestyler. thanks!

[Kixgz the Duck]

The slides make this song so moody, I like it :)
All the instruments are very soft and cute, and fit Lo-Fi very well. I like where the melody goes too, as it feels soothing and beautiful. There's also a lot of variation in this track to keep the song interesting! Keep up the great work :D
