[Sunrise]

Really nice! It's short but cinematic and does a great job at displaying mood. I like the instruments you chose as they work together pretty well, and the dynamics don't collide and sound very harmonious. The melody also reflects the description you w ere going for. Great job, keep it coming :D

[hackerman]

This sounds pretty interesting, I like how it's kind of a mix of retro-y instruments and hardcore elements. It get's a little repetitive around 1:30 but otherwise I really like the composition and energy you created here! Great job, keep it up :D

[albHE]

Very unusual and interesting, a song in two parts that kind of has a small bridge in the middle, but it's a super cool transition! I loved the first part. It was relaxing, jazzy, beautifully put together. The second part in comparison though is night and day! It's fast paced, actiony, mysterious and full of a different kind of passion and soul. It's just awesome to hear these two in the same song. The end is also very fuzzy, and helps warp to a part with similar mood as the beginning, which I feel is one of the best conclusions you could've gave this! Just a lapse back to familiarity that feels calm once more. I really love this, keep up the amazing work :D

[Wave]

Sounds like a great house track! I'd even say it sounds like tropical house a little bit. The melody is catchy, the flow is nice, and the instruments work together perfectly. Even though the song is high energy, I also find it really relaxing at the same time and just happy. Awesome work here, keep it up!!

Woah Thanks

[Sly - Mystic]

Relaxing and moody, dark and beautiful :D
I really love how this sounds. It feels like something that would play on an island beach or something late at night, past midnight or something. The development of the song over time is also really nice and soothing. I also really like all the weird percussion you put into this, it adds unique charm. Great work, keep it coming!!

SlyFrost responds:

I appreciate the kind words!

[The Lantern]

This is awesome! It sounds like a mix between so many styles; 80's synth pop and Russian punk mainly, but with a lot of your own uniqueness to it. It was a little hard to make out the lyrics sometimes but I think that's bc of the style of the song in general (though I understood a good amount of it if I listened carefully lol). I mostly love this song for the beautiful instrumentation and mood, kinda doomy and introspective. Just great and awesome work in general, keep it up!!

[Ramno - Through The Hourglass [NGUAC '23 Tryouts]]

There's a lot of story telling and cinematic elements to this song, and I'm not even talking about the description you gave! The gradual tempo shifts, the build ups, the phases, they all work very well together to make this song feel like an adventure. If I were not to read the description you left and just imagine something along to this, it would definitely be a desert, and an uncertain journey type of feeling full of hope and mystery. The added in tick like percussion also amplifies the theme of time in the song. It's just amazing how much you managed to fit into those six minutes! I wanna say so much more but in general I just wanna say you did an amazing job, keep it coming!!

Ramn0 responds:

Big thanks for these words and im happy you enjoyed!
There is definitely more to come (well... eventually)

[The Consideration]

Very unusual feel to this song, but that's what makes it fun! I like the progression, it feels generally mellow, but also uplifting and happy. The mood is also kinda mysterious but in a discovery kind of way. Just generally a cool feeling to it and it's very relaxing! Keep up the great work :D

[zami - weave]

This actually sounds calming and soothing to a surprising level, with such a beautiful melody! I didn't expect this song to sound sweet from the intro but it instantly grew on me. It feels mysterious, or like the day is ending. The drums add a heavier feeling to it but in a very complementary way, I love what they bring to the song. Even though the melody doesn't vary a lot on it's own, the song still evolves in different ways over the four minutes making it sound not repetitive which is very impressive! Awesome and beautiful work, keep it up :D

[Time Fighter]

Another great song! It sounds like something that fits very well for another actiony game, or maybe a fighter. The melody is also really sweet, and the overall style somewhat reminds me of songs from the 90s. I also really like how it ends with the echoed ticking clock. Great work once again, keep em coming!!
