[Press Record]

This has such hard energy I love it! For some reason it instantly made me think of Sonic music (but idk why)? I really love the brass you used, it's very bright and vibrant and adds a lot. The drums were hard and impactful which is really cool and adds a lot of character. The melody was also very fun, sounds like it would play during some adventure through a desert town or something in a game. Great work, keep it coming!!

HUGENATE responds:

thank you!!

[Crush]

Another great song! It sounds exciting and happy, gives night time beach party vibes. The glimmers and chirps are very beautiful, and I especially love the piano in the middle. It was a great way to break the point for a bit into a point of calmness, and the melody it plays is amazing. Both the songs I listened to by you today have a great energy and I think you really have a knack for it, keep up the great work!!

GlitchCatMusic responds:

Thank you so much for such an in depth comment!! I'm really happy you like my music ^^ Also sorry it took me so long to respond. I only just checked Newgrounds today, I didn't even know you could comment lol :)

[Chasing]

Love it! It sounds awesome and very adventurous. The mixing is really nice, and the song feels impactful in all the right ways. The middle break part also sounds desolate and I think that's a pretty cool touch. All the dubstep elements add a lot to the song but it's also very melodic which I like. Awesome stuff in general, keep it up!!

GlitchCatMusic responds:

Thank you!! I think it's super cool the way you're interpreting my music! It really helps me see it in a different way too ^^

[Crisp]

The keyboard solo is cool, I agree :)
This track is funky and keeps a lighthearted atmosphere the whole time. It has a very late night city atmosphere to it and is very clean in terms of mixing. Keep up the good work!

Wes-Dawg responds:

Thank you very much!

[Spooky Anxiety]

Love the ym2612 sound :)
Sounds like it would fit a level in a game where the character is prowling around at night with monsters lurking or something. The progression is pretty cool, especially the slow introduction of more and more instruments. Great stuff, keep it coming!

TimeTravelleR54 responds:

Thank you very much bro, your comments are greatly appreciated :)
I thought that progressively adding melodies and arpeggios would be interesting, and I didn't get too involved with the harmony so that it wouldn't get out of hand like it sometimes happens to me.
Of course there are many more things coming, I have many unfinished projects that could turn out well. What I'm struggling with a bit is with equalization and all that stuff.
But here we are learning little by little xD

[Pixel☆Skydive]

Awesome retro trance vibes! The bit crushed intro was already pretty cool, and the melody that came after was very reminiscent of 2000s trance. Definitely also gives off that skydive feel, a very happy one and generally uplifting. Keep up the great work!

Okinasai responds:

Thank u! I initially made the song with 200bpm but I realized it also good at trance bpms, so I changed it to 139; thx for listening btw.

[[10.31.23] i lost]

Как обычно, красиво :)
Немного меланхоличное, и загадочные. Инструменты вливаются в друг друга очень нежно, и результат классный. Так держать, буду ждать следующий трек!

Спасибо! Если ты ещë не слушал мой прошлый Синтпоп, то рекомендую послушать https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1259087

[honeycomb]

Sounds like something that would fit in a mysterious and potentially spooky sequence in a Kirby game, I like it! The progression and chords were really cool, haven't heard that progression in general for a good while. Also would just like to point out that the end of the song on the visual player looks like a bee stinger fittingly lol. Anyways great stuff, keep it coming :)

thank you!

[RyuiY - 記憶 × 領域 (feat. 花隈千冬)]

The melody and instrumentation sound amazing on this track! The vocals also fit very well and are mixed great too. I love the piano and strings you use on this. I have no idea what this song is about but it makes me feel happy and excited, sounds like something that would play during sunset. The drop towards 1:54 is also amazing! Awesome stuff, keep it up as always :)

RyuiY responds:

Thanks for amazing review! :D

[KXCMXNUMBRA]

Классный и мощный трек! Мне нравится все синты, и мелодия очень красиво звучит. Как обычно, так держать!!!

G2961 responds:
