This is amazing! The time signature thing really threw me through a loop at first, because it sounded so fluid despite the usual 5/4 tracks I'd hear. It sounded "right" if that makes sense. But then the rest of the song was a ride, through so many cool different parts of the melody, so many great instruments, and just an amazing progression overall. Everything was mixed so beautifully, every instrument gets its time to shine, everything sounds clear and crisp. Meanwhile the progression was just beautiful from start to finish, and kept changing up and being interesting. I also really like the effects you put on some instruments, it gave them some dynamic moving elements that made them unique, and in turn the whole song a more unique vibe. I dunno what genre this would even be considered because it feels like it has elements of dubstep, dance, trance, and other stuff, but the most important thing is that it's very fun! Amazing work here, keep it coming!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is one of the most detailed compliments I've ever gotten and I'm so happy you enjoyed the song :D

This sounds like a fun, energetic, and adventurous song! There's a suspense and a tension kinda, especially with the delayed harmonic melody in the beginning and then the heavier bass later in the track. I really like the instruments you chose, they sound chiptuney with some hq bass and percussive elements which is always a cool mix. I also like that despite using the same melody throughout the track, it doesn't get boring because something in the harmony or the instrument used changes, which keeps it interesting. Keep up the good work!

This was really relaxing! I don't think I've ever heard of anything from P3 but I do really like what you've made here, it felt like beachside cafe/bar music with a very calm atmosphere. I love the ambience you chose for the water and birds in the background, and the guitar you picked really fit for that calm vibe you were going for too. Great work, keep it up!

VirtuaLIkimono responds:

In P3, some of the tracks are funk or jazz with a mix of rap and Lo-Fi atmosphere. Glad you liked it <3

[Squeaky Rondo]

This sounded very polka-y and dancey, I really like it! The instruments you used and the patterns definitely make it sound European so I think you hit the nail on the head there, and the atmosphere is kind of fancy and almost Mediterranean I'd say. Very beautiful work, keep it up! :D

ModernBard responds:

Thanks :)

[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!!

MarlAngelo responds:

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 :)
