[just passing through]

Magical and happy, sounds like a summer evening on a boardwalk by the beach :)
The piano and strings do an amazing job at displaying emotion, and the silly percussion keeps the song light hearted. It honestly sounds like something out of Animal Crossing (city folk maybe) for one of the night time city songs. But it's also completely unique and just has a beautiful feel to it. I think this is amazing, and you did an absolutely wonderful job at making everything come together! Great work, and keep it up :D

What a strange song, and what a strange thing to remix lol. Yet this ended up being so groovy! I like how you took something so random and managed to make it sound like well.. this! A great melody, great harmony, and even managed to squeeze in an odd time signature beat. I love when people get creative, and this is definitely one of the best sampling examples I've heard so far. Amazing work, keep it up!

thank you so much!! i am now feeling very validated in my sample game lol, i wasn't totally convinced it would be a good fit but once i committed to the bit i had to complete it

[Camaraderie at Panquechairo's lenght]

What a nice song :)
It sounds like saloon piano, with a beautiful melody and just a relaxing night mood. Kind of like a comfy atmosphere after a long day and finally getting some rest. I can't really place what it is, but the emotion in this song is just great, and I think it's perfectly portrayed by the melody. Maybe it's also some kind of nostalgia? I dunno, but I love it, and I think you did an amazing job. Keep it up!!

Thank you!

[Lordant - Rain Elegy]

Magical and relaxing, I love it! I love the pizzicato like strings, with the flutes and glitter in the background. It's an amazing combination, and the other instruments only help accent it all even more. The choice to also use more than one kind of string instrument was also great, and the progression was wonderful. Beautiful work, keep it coming!!

[Arthur, come on!]

Sounds pretty powerful and adventurous, I love it! Kind of like a cool journey where all the protagonists are in heavy armor or something. I love the progression, and that while it has such great energy, it still sounds somehow relaxing. The Russian dialogue threw me off though and made me chuckle lol. Great song though, keep it up!

Thanks 🤩

[Billy]

Ooh this is definitely creepy, but also energetic, that's pretty awesome! There's a mood of something constantly looming over you as you progress through hordes of enemies or something. I like the glitchiness here and there too. Overall I think you did a great job at getting that scary atmosphere you were going for! Great work, keep it up :D

[Revelation]

Woah, nice! The mood of the song is almost immediately established as this mysterious and explorative thing, and the glitchy effects give the song a cool punch and even further increase the mystery. The drum loop was a great addition too. Keep up the great work as always!

much thanks master, did not think someone would actually like this one lol

[Jape Jungle]

This slaps! It definitely sounds like sonic music, that's for sure. Kind of in the same style as 1, 2, 3&K, except with fresh modern instruments. It's definitely funky, and fusion is probably the most appropriate genre for sure. The melody is groovy and dancey, and it definitely reminds me of a jungle. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[Battle Theme]

Ooh wow another great song! And this one has such great energy too. It really feels suspenseful and full of action. Sometimes it gives off the mood as if a large enemy is rising from the ground, and sometimes it just feels like straight up impending doom. Great progression and build up of tension in this as well. Keep it coming :D
