[The Call of The Void]

This really represents the whole void theme, I think you nailed it! The progression building up and leading into a "softer" type drop with a new part to the melody is perfect for what you were trying to depict, and the longer style of pacing definitely also helps. It's also very rewarding when more stuff finally kicks in around the 2:22 mark (especially that sax, man its cool!). The ending is also perfect after all the song has done. Awesome work, keep it coming!!

RedCocoa responds:

Thank you very much, glad the void theme thing seems to work as well as I hoped it would. More is coming :D

[rock my world]

It's really fun and energetic :D
I like how quick the energy kicks in, and the arp helps make it sound more zoomy and exciting. Sounds like something that would fit well in a late 2000s flash game. Keep up the great work as always!

wineplume responds:

early-mid 00's racing games vibes to me, thank you for the review!

[LittleTownTheme]

Very peaceful and serene, I almost fell asleep after I realized the song has already looped four times haha

I really like this though! It reminds me of old RPG's that would have this kind of music in peaceful areas; maybe its the strings, maybe it's the progression, but either way it somehow sounds very nostalgic. The melody was pretty and could fit the beginning of a new day, or the theme of a rainy day on a farm or something like that. Great work, keep it up!!

thanks!

[AND THEN]

This song feels like something that would play on a breezy walk through a city park without a care in the world, I really like it! Sometimes songs give me a very specific feel for some reason and this is one of them. I like the combination of instruments you used; the main woodwind provides a nice constant familiar layer, while the glockenspiel sounding instrument gives a little bit of flair and magic. The brass gives this feeling of "coolness" kinda, the piano provides a nice foundation, and the percussion just gives it a nice little energetic kick. All together it just sounds like a really fun song and I think you did a great job, so keep it up :D

Thanks!

[Siesta]

Calm and sleepy, I like it :)

The instruments you used were really magical and helped create a peaceful and happy mood. The pads also sound sleepy, as if they are about to carry me away back to bed haha. The bass was a very nice addition, but wasn't harsh enough to throw off the atmosphere of the song. The progression was also familiar and slow, to help introduce a feeling of familiarity and further tranquility. Great stuff, keep it up!

i'm gIad it worked as intended 4 you! thank you so much 4 your feedback!

[funky jazzy idk its nice]

This is such an awesome loop, I wish it was a full song! It's definitely both funky and jazzy, but I do agree in categorizing it as house due to the beat and energy in general. I like how in the second half there are some extra pads to broaden things up and vary it a little. The guitar is also arguably one of the best parts about this loop, and the percussion just fits so nice! Awesome work, keep it up :D

[So Many Ways]

Feels like something that would play while you watch a lake right after sunset and the sky slowly turns dark :)

The buildup is very gradual, which is fitting for ambient. The instruments help construct this deeper and deeper submersion as well, while everything around swells with beauty. It tugs at the heart strings and makes me feel nice. Great work, keep it coming!

Skullbeatz responds:

Really appreciate the kind words. thank you for listening :)

[Reflect]

What an interesting song, I think it definitely reflects the feeling of being overwhelmed. Especially in the beginning when some of the instruments sounded harsher, but the song itself didn't necessarily sound sad or angry or anything like that. Kind of hit that perfect point that helps convey the emotion very well. Meanwhile, the song is also just so pretty and heart warming! The progression feels like it's carrying me away through space, and the timing of certain instruments feels perfect. I think you did an amazing job on this, keep up the great work!!

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you for all the positive feedback, it’s really encouraging.

[Polly]

Sounds really pretty, I like the picture you included too as it does somehow match the song I think haha. It feels like mood wise maybe the transitioning of spring into summer, with the heat starting to kick in while the flowers are still out. I like the instruments, and the moody yet happy progression. Everything just ended up sounding really sweet and relaxing with a good kick to it. Great work as always, keep it coming :)

BusanBlack responds:

Thanks! Yeah the heat is really scorching everything. Stay hydrated!

[Playing with Kid]

Such a fun song! The progression is great, I love how it starts and how towards the middle it gets all glitch-hoppy. It does have a very playful atmosphere for sure, due to the melody you made and the instruments you used. The progression also keeps varying up and sounds fun and exciting. Overall just brings out pretty happy emotions :)

Great stuff, keep it up!
