[🍂 Project 65 🍁]

This sounded pretty and relaxing, I like it very much! I'm a big fan of the specific chord progression you used, as it's both beautiful and emotional, but also hopeful. The little chimes and glimmers made the song all the more pretty, and the piano with the oboe/clarinet worked perfectly. Great work, keep it coming :D

Thank you, I don't believe my progressions is anything special. Majority of the times is either by accidental or experimental. 😅

When it comes to original stuff I make what I'm feeling at the moment. 😌

[The Imperial Palace]

Spooky, mysterious, and spacious, I like it! The progression of this song kind of feels story like, or as if it's the intro to some scary castle story, or maybe even a level in a castle before a spooky boss. The instruments you chose created a perfect atmosphere of power and impending doom. Great work, keep it up!

[ENTER]

Man this is just a whole trip, I love it! The way the track progresses it feels like you are being pulled in more and more into some deep state of mind, or a long tunnel, just generally something mysterious and entrancing. It's beautiful. The instruments you chose were not only perfect, but well mixed and always helped other instruments get introduced in oncoming segments. The shifts into different rhythms was also very interesting and well executed. Just in general this song is amazingly done and I'm in love with it, keep up the beautiful work!!!!

Means a lot, thx sm for listening!

[Feeeeeever]

Definitely very punchy, and I can totally see this play out on some boss fight. It's very exciting and full of energy, and the rhythm makes it feel like you're running out of time or are in imminent danger. The instrumentation is also really good, I'm always surprised when people manage to make chiptune sound so varied! Great work as always, keep it up :)

whoa much thanks master!

[Granny Ambience]

Granny sounds a little frightening today lol

But honestly this is some pretty good ambience. It's creepy and well timed, and very atmospheric. Keep it up!

many thanks

[Electric Dash]

So bouncy! The progression on this is awesome and exciting, and you have so many great instruments and textures. Mixing is also super well done here. The atmosphere is kind of sunset-y, and also even a bit nostalgic. From beginning to end this just sounded awesome. Keep up the amazing work!!

[Cats drink milk]

This was cute! Kind of had a goofy little atmosphere to it, which definitely fits wit the cat theme. I liked the soft synth you used for the melody, and the percussion was simple and fitting. Good work, keep it up!

cookie-group responds:

Thanks B)

[Guardian Angel]

This was really beautiful. I liked the saxophone throughout, and all the other instruments just kind of created this pretty and fancy atmosphere that was also calming and spacious at the same time. It kind of feels like I can just drift off to this to sleep because of how relaxing it is. The song also just feels good in general, I dunno, happy and free kinda if that makes sense. I just love it a lot, great work and keep it up!!!

[Lucky Boy]

Has a bit of an 80s pop feel to it, but also a lot of VGM. I love it! It has a happy, light melody and just a warm fuzzy feeling overall. Kind of like drifting off on a green field in the summer at noon or something, just a really calm atmosphere. I like the different instruments you chose, especially the plucks, piano, and percussion. Keep up the great work as always :D

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you. Yeah I was thinking its great to be alive to smell the flowers and I thought how lucky I am to be on the planet at this point in time. I don't think Id want to be anywhere else.

[Shooting Stars]

Amazing once again! The progression really varies up the song while you still manage to maintain this very tranquil atmosphere throughout, filling it with beautiful strings and pads. The lead instruments you used were really mellow, which are a perfect fit for the existing mood of the song. The mixing was also really well done to further nail the atmosphere down. And all the effects you added like the reverb fit amazingly to give off the theme of space. Great work as always, keep it coming!
