[Plastic and Seasalt]

This sounds like an interesting ambient track for a mysterious foggy beach or something haha, I like it! The seagull noises were a fun percussive element that made the song sound more unique, and the chord progression really helped create the mysterious atmosphere kinda. Great stuff, keep it up!

[Reunion]

Very pretty! I like the mix of piano and chiptuney stuff in the beginning, before it gets more into just chiptune for a bit and then goes to some other instruments later. The progression keeps changing up which makes the song fun to listen to and it doesn't get boring. The atmosphere is also very uplifting and lovey, which is very fitting of the title haha. Great work, keep it up!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^

[Who Were They]

Dude... this is like professional quality, you could've fooled me and told me this was an actual classic rock from the late 70s/early 80s and I would've believed you. This gave me goosebumps, I wasn't expecting this at all! I am really happy I listened to this track as I usually don't listen to music with lyrics, but when I heard the opening guitar I really wanted to stay and hear the whole thing. The guitar playing is amazing, its full of soul and beautiful. The singing also feels cohesive with everything else, it doesn't stand out in an awkward way and just feels like an instrument that belongs amongst the rest. The progression is amazing and beautiful, the whole song is just full of soul and passion. I am honestly super curious to see what you make next, this skill to do all this by yourself is insane, keep it up!!

Thanks so much :)
If only I weren't busy for like the next 4 years, I would've made more of these kinds of songs.

[SUPER SECRET SONG]

I am now part of the people who heard the super secret song club epic!1

But for real this sounded awesome! It reminds me of like early 2010s dance dubstep or whatever you wanna call it haha. It has such a happy energy, and it's super uplifting. The progression keeps the song fun by changing up a lot, the percussion is great, and the melodies are nostalgic and beautiful. Amazing work, keep it up!

[Eternulls]

This sounds really pretty, kind of like music that you'd hear in a farming game or something :)
Idk how to explain but it sounds like lovey music, morning music, relaxing music all at once. The instruments you chose are really cohesive and fit together very well, and I also enjoyed the little flute break a little half past the songs length. Beautiful work, keep it up!

[Chill Exploration Music]

This sounds kind of on edge, like with a bit of suspense, but also fun and mysterious. The instruments also help make this song fun and lighthearted. I think this could definitely fit as bg music in a platformer, so you did a great job with that! Awesome stuff, keep it up :)

YESEvoi responds:

thx! :D

[Love Wins After All]

Ahhh love jumpscare!!

But besides the end lol this was a really pretty track! I liked the simple pad and guitar combo, and the guitar sounded really realistic (maybe it was actually you playing it?). Very lovey song and melody, great stuff and keep it up :D

[.SILENCE]

This was short but very interesting, I typically don't listen to hardcore but I found this one fun so I listened through to the end and I really enjoyed it :)
Even though the melody in the background stays mostly the same, the insane percussion/bass that changed throughout kept it very interesting and intriguing. The song made me imagine flying through space at the speed of light or something lol, it's so energetic but also happy and exciting. Awesome stuff, keep it up!!

shjames responds:

Loool I never expected such an in depth review for a semi joke track I made in like 2 hours thanks a lot

[Road Through The Orange Sky]

Sounds pretty! I like the progression, as even though the song has a medium-slow pace, the variety through the song keeps it interesting. I also like the instruments you used, there's a nice mix of chiptune instruments and percussion with some fm sounds and other stuff too. Would definitely fit some kind of sky level in a platformer. Great work, keep it up!

FKPC responds:

Thanks! I'll be sure to replicate some things I did here next time. Hope ya have a good day! :)

[Geometrical Madness]

Здесь энергия вообще обалдеть! Очень подходит к супер сложному уровню в GD, надеюсь что кто то сделает что-нибудь прикольное с этим треком. Обожаю слышать твои треки как всегда, так держать!
