[Mystique]

This is such a fun melody, and it's so pretty! The harmony backing the melody really helps it shine I think haha. I really suggest adding drums or percussion of some kind, then it would be perfect in my opinion! Otherwise amazing work, keep it up :D

creeperdoesredstone responds:

Thanks for the feedback! TBH, I decided not to add percussion because I couldn't find a way to make it work well with the beat, but maybe that's just a skill issue on my part...

EDIT: I added percussion

[The Invitation]

This is so relaxing, it feels like it would fit perfectly in some kind of inn at a hotel, or the house you start at in an RPG or something, I love it :)
I love the slow intro with the happy melody, and how you sprinkle in more instruments as the song goes on. The title is pretty fitting, as the song sounds inviting and warm. Great work as always, keep it up!

BusanBlack responds:

Thanks. Yeah its just a happy little tune trying to be a bit emotional. :D

[Mystic]

This is really beautiful! Is this maybe meant for a title theme? I love how calm it sounds, but yet it still has a mysterious and even adventurous energy. The instruments are very beautiful, and help create a mysterious yet serene and dreamy energy. The melody is also amazing, it's the glue that makes everything come together so perfectly here. Amazing work, keep it up :)

Shulkern responds:

thank you! means a lot! this is actually meant for a layer in the game, not the title.

[~[Borum]~]

Fun house track! I like the effects you have on the instruments like the one you have on the piano. If I could just suggest, maybe some more variation in the track could make it even better! It's already pretty nice, but just an idea for the future maybe. Otherwise awesome work as always, keep it up!

DeimosMusic responds:

Thanks!

[Euphemora]

I spaced out while listening to this haha but it was really fun! Kinda space techno-y with fun instruments. It also feels like it would be good for focus music or drawing music maybe, it has a nice steady beat and no big surprising changes, which can help you zone in. Great work, keep it up!

[Root]

As soon as the harp/string pluck intro started I instantly fell in love. The percussion was already fun and exciting, but that beautiful jungle-y melody really captivated me. The progression in this song is really fun and adventurous, but also wonderous and mystical all at once. I think that the specific pluck instrument you use for most of the melody really helps it come to life more. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

[rock n roll]

This sounds so interesting, I can't quite put my finger on what it reminds me of but there's def something haha. It's cool because it sounds both like something that would fit for an early 90s movie for some kind of goofy/fun actiony scene, but also sounds like it would fit perfectly in an SNES fighting game or something. You always manage to make really unique styles and atmospheres for your songs! Keep up the awesome work as always :D

GuitARBEn responds:

Wow, thank you for this nice comment!

[Still Isolated]

Nice! This kinda sounds like it's in the style of 90s Eurodance, with more modern dance instruments. The oturo was really interesting especially considering the key change, but it was pretty. I like the piano you used as well! Keep up the great work :D

Belastet responds:

Thanks for the feedback!!

[Dreams Return]

Very nice and chill trance song. It feels like late 90s/early 2000s trance too, which was such a great era for trance music! The pads you picked are very beautiful and help build the atmosphere, while the lead sound is prominent and helps carry the song with a fun and dancey melody. Great work, keep it up!

FLAVOUR-STAR responds:

Thank you very much! I wanted to convey exactly what you described with this trance track.

[Projection]

I was listening to this while working and honestly it did really help me zone in and focus better! It has a steady flow which is interesting and beautiful, yet not too chaotic which leaves room for relaxation and focus. There was so many variation throughout the track as well, so it felt like it never got boring! I typically don't listen to longer tracks and stuff but I'm definitely happy I listened through the whole thing here haha. Great work, keep it up!
