[clockwork]

Nice happy little song :)
I like that the ticking takes turn panning from left to right, it adds a very playful element to the song. The melody is also happy and carefree, and the bass with the harmony sound very nice! Great work, keep it coming!

Arctnu responds:

thanks :)

[ENCRYPTEDMIND]

I'd say it's a very successful experimental song! At first the effect sounded cool but I started wondering if the whole song will just be that style of compression and nothing else, but man you found a way to make it work and you made it work good. Layering it with non distorted instruments really both brought out the distorted ones and also amplified the room and space, and made the piece sound great. The melody itself is also very beautiful. Keep up the amazing work!!

Getsaa responds:

OMG Thank you so much <33 I did my best

[Time VIP]

This sounds beautiful! I love the very spaced out mood and feeling, and the mixing is very crisp and clean. The instruments you chose are beautiful and the environment you created is just magical. I found listening to this very relaxing and happy. Amazing work, keep it coming!!

OVERSCORE responds:

Thank you for leaving a detailed review! I’ve been working on my atmospheric elements lately, so I’m glad you liked how that felt.

[Prim]

Very funky, hazy and moody, nice! Sounds like a walk through a night city with a bunch of dim neon lights everywhere or something. I like the slide-y instruments, and all the other accompanying ones you have to make everything come to life in such a pretty way. Just great work as always, keep it coming!

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you octopus :D Im trying to come up with some new sounds but still keep the dancing feeling to it. I really like to listen to music that you can just walk/run around to and enjoy the sights. Always more to come!

[Apathy]

I dunno what genre this would even classify as, but its got a very cool charm to it and I really liked listening to it! The instruments are mysterious and weird, but it makes the song very cool, especially with such a pretty melody! Fsr the compositional style and melody kind of reminds me of Frog Forest from Sonic Heroes haha. I like the variation you got going in this track too, it keeps things interesting and fun! Awesome work, keep it up :D

PurityStar responds:

thank you~!!

[It Just Happens]

Nice song! I think you definitely succeeded with capturing the time you were going for (60's ish), especially with the mellotron sounding strings in the bg. The instrumentation is crazy beautiful, dynamics are perfect and harmony just compliments the melody without contrast. The mood is also very relaxing, lovey and sweet. This would sound beautiful playing at some beachside cafe during a sunset. Love this a bunch, keep up the awesome work!!!

ItsBurner responds:

Really well written, was a joy to read ! Thank you !

[silly twig]

Interesting song! It's a little funky, gloomy, mysterious and adventurous all at once. Sounds like it would fit perfectly in a video game for a dark forest level or something. I like how you keep the main motif through the song but manage to vary it enough for it not to sound boring. The instruments you chose worked very well together too! Great work, keep it up :D

Shulkern responds:

its nothing serious obviously, but thank you for your very genuine comments! i like them

[Misty Meerkat]

What a cool and weird (in a good way) song! I was wondering why it sounded so different with the rhythm, but then I realized it was in 7/4. The instruments are also perfect for chiptune and work together very well. The melody is also beautiful and adventurous but relaxing at the same time. I just love it a lot in general and I think it sounds very unique. Awesome work, keep it up!!

BigBlueBazooka responds:

Thanks for the kind words.

[Passionate Cereal]

Cool chiptune! I like how it goes through multiple phases and all of them sound so happy! The short breaks in certain places really help to make the song flow better I think. The only thing I would maybe adjust is the volume as it gets a little overwhelming when everything feels very loud. Otherwise great job, keep it up!

SkittleWaffle responds:

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate that!

[RyuiY - 深夜の濃青 (Feat. 花隈千冬) Extended ver.]

I don't understand the lyrics, but I think the song is beautiful! I love the progression, it's constantly changing into a different phase, and the transitions themselves are non intrusive and seamless. The instruments work so well together, and everything is just complimenting each other. The way you also mastered the voice is great as well! Awesome work, keep it up :D

RyuiY responds:

Thanks for amazing review!! :D
Sorry. I forget to write the lyrics in description. I'll do it soon.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for listening :)
