[AiirBear - Sober]

Very interesting beat you got going on here, and very pretty! I like the progression, and how part of the progression is actually the change in effects you use such as warbles, gates, etc. The synths you chose are great, and the pads are just so beautiful. Great work on this, keep it up!

[Cherry Blossoms]

Very pretty! I like the progression, and how realistic the instruments sound. They are articulated very well and feel like they're actually played by a human, and also come in during just the right time. Keep up the great work!

Possibly responds:

Thanks so much. Yeah, i try to keep the human element as much as I can - by playing things badly :D

Супер, как обычно :)
Мне нравится атмосфера, очень расслабляющая и красивая. Инкорпорация звука удара в стекляшку тоже класс. Так держать!

Спасибо большое!

[Departure]

Very relaxed, atmospheric and pretty. I love it! It sounds uplifting but also very emotional, like not sad but just hopeful I think would be the right word. The build ups and drops are all awesome, and the energy/bass is popping. The mixing is also great! Awesome stuff, keep it up :D

Krony responds:

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like my song :3

[Build Me an Orchard]

This would definitely fit for some game/movie, I agree! Especially something like waking up or walking out into a beautiful green town just after the sun has started rising. The intro is beautiful and just leads into more instruments swelling over time, bringing in a lot of emotion (especially happiness and just generally being uplifting). All the performers did an amazing job with not just playing the instruments, but bringing so much articulation and soul into the play style. Just generally amazing song from start to finish, great job everyone!!

thanks, octopus58!! I'll tell them!

[VOID]

Your name really fits the title haha, the song sounds great! It just feels like an accelerating descent into something unknown, scary, mysterious and powerful all at once. Kind of like you're in imminent danger but still approaching something you have no idea about or what will happen. The intro helps establish the darker atmosphere in general, while the piano adds an excitement/suspenseful feel to it. And I just love the melody in general. Great work, keep it up!!

[After the Bombs]

I've never played fallout so I haven't heard the music, but I think your music perfectly encapsulates a post apocalyptic feel. It sounds desolate, a little hopeless, and makes you feel like you're in a barren falling apart city. The guitar playing was sick, the slides were perfect, and just in general you did an amazing job at not only capturing an atmosphere but maintaining it for a whole seven minutes! Amazing work, keep it up :D

[[11.03.23] you still know]

Как обычно, очень красиво звучит :)
Мелодия красивая и задумчивая, и все инструменты очень подходят друг другу. Ощущение как будь то потерялся в тумане или в лабиринте. Как всегда, продолжай издавать замечательную музыку!!

Спасибо большое за твой отзыв! Я его ценю!

[I lost myself]

I'm glad you did upload it, it sounds really pretty! Surprisingly calm for the title, I thought it would be sad but rather it's reflective and mysterious sounding. Just also so serene and beautiful... I usually don't really like hiphop stuff but I loved this a bunch! Even with a motif that repeats the whole time, you managed to make it sound interesting and not stagnating with adding slight variation here and there, as well as different subtle effects. And the key change at the end was perfect!! Great stuff, keep it coming :D

[The Fleebis]

Funky and sweet :D
I can definitely hear the sonic inspo in this but it sounds very original I think! The melody is nice, and the groove/beat is pretty happy and chirpy too. It just feels uplifting to listen to this in general and makes me feel good. Great work, keep it up!
