[Chill Somg [Remaster]]

Very relaxing, beautiful and calm. I think it was definitely very chill too. I really like the guitar you used, and the calm melody it played while the soft drums and strings helped carry it forward. The whole song just made me feel warm and cozy. Great work, keep it coming!

Yassifacation responds:

Thanks!

Wow this is so groovy, happy and even nostalgic a little, I love it! Everything about this sounds beautiful and makes me feel very warm and cheery. I think the Rhodes piano was a great touch, but all the other instruments that surround it just bring it out so well, and the mixing is just perfect. I love it very very much, keep up the awesome work!!

snakez responds:

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

[where is everyone]

This sounded very unsettling and eerie, which I guess was the point and I think you did very well! I like that you literally used the sound of something breaking as a percussive noise throughout the song, it was strange but fitting. The pads are actually very beautiful, and help you catch a break around 2:00 before more kicks in. I also think you did the ending very well because it kinda emphasizes the eeriness even as it's fading out! So amazing work, keep it up :D

Waidmann responds:

thank you

Happy late birthday! lol
This was an interesting song idea, and I think you did it well. Mixing could use a tiny bit of work but otherwise it was very fun to listen to! The instruments you picked also work very well together and carry the song in a good way. So great work, keep it coming!

MakuTMT13 responds:

THANK YOU MUCH! I appreciate every piece of feedback I get, and I hope the next track you hear will have better mixing cuz i most certainly still don't know too much about that just yet. Regardless, thank you again!

[Rift]

You definitely nailed that mysterious vibe you were going with, great work! I love the build ups over instruments over time, and the variety of instruments you used with different kinds of effects on them. I feel the piano really helped add to the feeling you were going for, while the main bass and lead synth were just amazing overlays. It's just very beautiful and I honestly think it would fit perfect in some game! Great work, keep it coming :)

ChordsBoy responds:

Thank you so much! :)

[blurry bush]

This sounded very lively, beautiful and fun. I loved all the lift ups you had in this song, the interesting style you used, the guitars, how percussion picked up throughout, and much more. It's just very happy sounding and maybe even a little hopeful. Great work, keep it up!

wellie responds:

wo thanks a lot for the kind words

[Now, Until the Moment You Die]

Мне очень понравилось, класныя работа! Я никогда не играл Touhou, но из этой серии очень харошия музыка. Больше всего мне нравится как ты сделал мелодию с органам, и барабаны тоже очень хорошо звучали. А с гитарой вообще был класс! Так держать :D

MicroMusician responds:

Спасибо! Я рад что кому-то музыка очень понравилась, поэтому постараюсь продолжать ею радовать (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
А так, советую как нибудь попробовать поиграть в Touhou, если найдётся свободное время, ибо игра хорошая.

[Stay a Little Awhile]

This was so amazing and beautiful, it really helped me chill out in the morning! I love the crisp high frequency noises you used as harmony, they really added to the feel of the song. The guitar riffs were also beautiful, and the different transitions you have into different grooves were awesome too. Even though the guitar riff would mostly stay the same, the song would never stagnate and feel everchanging as it went on. Awesome work, keep it coming!

KCan responds:

Thanks for your review! Truly means a lot!

[When The Dust Settles]

This is so amazingly beautiful, I love it so much! The melody constantly changes into something new and amazing, slowly progressing into something great each time. It kinda sounds hopeful and happy which is very nice. All the instruments sound very cohesive with each other yet distinct enough to be harmonious together. There's just too much I can say about this haha. Amazing work, keep it up!!

OpenLight responds:

Thank you so much! This one was really tough for me to finalize, so I'm glad to hear it all turned out well!

[Line - Kimi]

This had a very interesting build up and I really like where it went throughout, very beautiful! Kind of seems almost melancholy and very mysterious, not happy or sad but just a mess of feelings (in a good way). I like the slow build up of dynamics as well, it really suits the ambient genre. The end still somehow manages to be somewhat climactic which is also very interesting. Amazing work, keep it up!

Kimi18 responds:

Glad you like it^^
Im spending alot of thought for this project. I think i did a good job raising and dropping tension in the whole album without using drums, which of course was a challenge!
