[BARU33 - Summon]

Really interesting direction to start out the intro so slow and far away from the intense part. Almost helps kind of emphasize the main part of the song very well. The actual drop is very beautiful and almost like ambient dubstep if that's a thing. Really love the chord progression you chose for this too, it feels very introspective. Amazing work, keep it up!

zZBaruNGZz responds:

Thx :)

[Choose Your Seeds]

Very mysterious especially with the way you did your string chords, good job! It really sounds like something from pvz too lol. Really liked the piano melody as well. Great job, keep it up!!

[Lavender Skies]

Your songs always catch my eye because they have interesting names and/or pictures haha. This one sounded pretty chill and definitely night time like, maybe even early night time. So I'd say you passed that feeling along through your music very well! I love the mix of different instruments with the synthy ones here, and the different phases of the song were also very nice to listen to. Just makes me feel happy. Keep up the amazing work as always!!

BusanBlack responds:

Wow thank you octopus. I've been really trying to capture some emotion within the pictures I took or drawings I made. Like how can I see this image and put sound to it. I think its all very fusion based as I am adding in different sound elements but I'm stoked that its coming together decently.

[mallet]

It's a really silly song but I really like it! I've almost never heard that "woop" sound effect work out in a good way but you nailed it lmao. I love the different phases and obviously the mallet instrument sounds really nice here too. Very sweet and nice, keep up the great work!!

Trubiso responds:

tysm :D yeah it is supposed to sound really goofy and light-hearted, i'm glad i could get that across

[Bossa Bossa]

So soothing... it reminds me of something from one of the Sonic Adventure games for some reason haha. I really love it though, it's got such a groovy little beat to it and sounds so nice! The percussion pattern was very suiting to the style you were going for, and the synthy mallets were perfect for lead melodic instruments. And the guitar backing was also an awesome idea. Keep up the amazing work, you did great on this!!

[Rewinding]

I don't know what Future Riddim is, but I know for sure that this song is amazing! You really picked up the intensity in the beginning and sustained it through your awesome progressions. The lead instrument sounds very chirpy when it gets to higher notes and otherwise sounds really calm and soothing even amongst the other intense instruments. The bass and percussion are also crisp and good. Beautiful work, keep it up!

TeirrelMusic responds:

WAO! Thank you very much really :D

[Astro Trip]

This sounds so beautiful! I love pretty much everything about it, and it really does sound like a high energy and face paced trip through space. The plucks help create a kinda happy and exciting atmosphere, and the pianos reverb really helps create this large space for the song too. From beginning to end it sounded really beautiful, amazing job and keep it up!!

DreadOrpheus responds:

Wow, I very rarely see reviews like this. Thanks a lot! :)

[Quattuordecillion]

Really interesting song, I liked it from beginning to end :)
I really like the build up as it sounds very calm and curious, and then the climax gets intense for just a second or two before the song starts relaxing slightly more and more. It felt very spacey, and very otherworldly too. The minute of ambience at the end of birds chirping and just outdoors in general was a very nice touch as it just makes the rest of the song feel comfy. Awesome work, keep it up!!

[6x3 (helito6x3)]

Ooh this sounds pretty interesting, I like it! Sounds spacy, and even shifts a little between ominous sometimes, curious, and happy/excited. Your use of panning that you do sometimes is very interesting and something I don't usually see. All the instruments you chose were very good too and work together very well. Great work, keep it up!

[Pencil - no title uhhh]

Very happy and exciting, I love it! It sounds a little nostalgic for some reason lol, and gives me a lot of summer feelings. Absolutely love your square leads and other synths you use for your melody, and the bass really pops alongside the percussion. Amazing work, keep it up!!
