[Chess Of Time (New Remaster)]

Рад опять слышать классный трек от тебя! Стиль этой музыки звучит как то из компьютерных игр которые я играл в раннем детстве. Ты очень хорошо попал в майскую тему, и инструменты которые ты выбрал очень хорошо подходят друг другу. А мелодия вообще шикарная. Опять же классный трек, так держать!

[Plan B]

I absolutely love the energy in this! It sounds like a risky space adventure with excitement and suspense. The synths you use work together so well, and the pacing of everything in the progression feels just perfect. The song has this very serious but also dancey feel which is a pretty cool combination. As always, great work, keep it coming!!

It's nice to read comments like this :O Thank you very much! :)

I think this still mostly falls under trance, even with the break beat. But it's definitely very unique because of how much different style overlaps it has, and how unusual the progression feels! All of this is in a good way of course, as it makes your song stand out quite a bit. The instrument choice is very interesting and the changes in instruments and percussion often created an evolving feeling which maintains good interest from the listener. But yeah great work, keep it up!

[When The Beat Drops]

I don't listen to a lot of EDM but the beat drop in this track had a long and cool buildup! I like the instruments you used, they sound very modern and impactful for dance genre stuff. Percussion is also really fitting. Great work once again, keep it up :)

Raylectro responds:

Thank you, I put a ton of work into this and even worked on it while on a 7 hour trip to South Korea. Glad it paid off!

[I wanna thank you]

I think it's a really pleasant singing voice, especially for this style of song :)
Even without accompanying instruments, your guitar playing already provides a great backing to make the song sound complete. I feel guitar can be kind of like piano, where those instruments on their own can already create a complete sounding song. Progression was fun, warm, relaxed and happy. As always, keep up the great work :D

[ICE SCREAM]

This sounds really cute, warm, and fuzzy in terms of mood :)
I can't believe this is all based upon a game crashing sample lol, it sounds so good! The melody is exciting and happy, and the bass is also kicking in a great way to provide energy even for such a comfy sounding song. It also changes up quite a few times throughout, which provides for great variation and keeping it interesting! Awesome stuff, keep it up :D

[lost]

This definitely has a lost/mysterious vibe to it, I think you did a great job at that for sure! The chord progression I think did this trick well to begin with, by having it alternate mostly between two chords throughout. But the instruments you used as well as the ambiences really amplified this feeling beautiful. It's also just a really pretty selection, that kinda makes the song also feel dreamy and maybe even hopeful I'd say. Just really beautiful in general, once again keep up the awesome work!

AIMofficial responds:

thank you so much.

[INEXISTENT]

The energy on this is hard and so moody! The bass hits really good and the pads just add a layer of softness, creating this really beautiful contrast. The melodic instruments are really nicely layered together making an awesome combination. The progression also keeps a feeling of familiarity while keeping variation, with a perfect balance between stagnation and chaos if that makes sense. Just overall an amazing job, keep up the awesome work!!

[the year 2008]

Lol the smosh sample caught me off guard, but the build up was really interesting and so was the drop! It had a really curious feeling to it all and a great energy. Keep up the great work :D

[Mikaiah - A Missing Star]

Great combo of more modern instruments with a classic chiptune style! The melody sounds pretty 2000s dance-y and uplifting and mysterious at the same time. I like how often the song varies up, and a lot of the samples sound like they came straight from some demoscene song haha. Great work, keep it coming :D
