[Elf Party]

Very pretty, explorative, and magical. I really like how the song starts, the progression is already interesting and sets a very wonderful mood. It does feel like something that would play in a little elf/gnome village or something because of how curious it sounds. The instruments you chose have very unique textures and blend together very well, with the mixing also being crisp and clean. Keep up the amazing work!!

[NoiBack]

The atmosphere of this song is pretty interesting. At first I thought it might be a little menacing, but it just sounds dark and chill at the same time. You used a lot of really pretty textures throughout the song too that added to the unique atmosphere, as well as the unusual progression. In the end you got a really great track, keep up the awesome work :D

thanks

[Helion]

Really nice synthwave! I like the melody, it sounds like it's perfect for night time and feels like a car ride through a highway in the middle of dark woods. I absolutely love the combination of grittier leads and instruments as well as lighter ones like bells and soft pads. The progression is also awesome, I'm glad you took your time with this to make it sound so intense and beautiful. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

[Flight]

This is so awesome! I love the progression and the mix of chiptune-y instruments with all these modern instruments in such a cool and funky groove :D

The melody is really fun and feels very adventurous, and the song feels like it could fit in some game level where you fly through low orbit right beside the border of earth and space or something. Everything is so well mixed and sounds crisp and pretty, and the harmonies are also really good and diverse. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Thexta - Journey]

What a great way to combine a sweet and explorative melody with the intensity of dubstep! It sounds like those really pretty cinematic video game songs for sandbox games with a dubsteppy and hard kick coming in here and there. Kind of feels like you're exploring a winter planet or something and climbing over icebergs and stuff haha. I think you did a very great job here, keep it up!!

ty!! :)

[KELT-9b]

You make so many songs that sound so spacey!
This one sounds way more energetic. It sounds like you're exploring a lush and vivid planet or something and it's exciting but also happy. The grittiness is definitely an interesting touch that gives this song a unique atmosphere, and the percussion is pretty interesting too. Great work once again, keep it coming!

thank you so much! <3

[Neban]

Very cute and happy sounding, reminds me a bit of Kirby 64 music for some reason :)
I really love the bells you used, and the ghostly sounding lead. The chords are also really nice and make the song feel sleepy and soothing. Great work, keep it up!

[jumpstart]

Ooh the energy in this is sick! Feels like early 2000s dance/trance that would fit in some kind of racing game or fast paced scenario. I love the instruments you used, especially your selection of leads. The progression was also really fun and hyped up. As always keep up the awesome work!!

wineplume responds:

yep! i tried to make this as energetic as possible.

[Tranceloop 001]

Pretty nice! Could totally see this be used in a full trance song :)

[Project Fate - TRUE SELF]

Ooh, another cool track! This boss music sounds really heavy, kind of like dealing with a giant or something similar. I like how much you vary it up with the melody and progression, and the percussion also makes this very fun to listen to; not only that but you managed to make it a whole 8 minutes long! Great work here, keep it coming once again :D

Thanks! I had a lot of ideas/references for what I wanted this song to be, so a lot of effort was put into this. I wanted the song to evoke a sense of anger and sadness, and I think I nailed it.
