[On a line]

This is such a beautiful instrumental! The chord progression is very smooth and calming, relaxing especially if I think about early morning or after sunset times. It's nostalgic despite me never hearing it before. The instrument choice itself was also really beautiful and for some reason gave me a slightly retro feeling to it. And the mastering on this track is just perfect. Keep making more amazing stuff :D

Moddex02 responds:

Thank you and of course I will keep on making stuff as long as boredom exists ^^

[PRGX - Pause]

Really awesome mix of chiptune and more "modern" bass! I can definitely hear house in here too. I love it when people mix different styles and make something new entirely, this is one of those things and it just sounds amazing. Keep it up :D

PRGX responds:

Thank you very much for the comment :)

[From a Dream]

This sounds very relaxing and tropical kinda, great work! I love how the melody varies throughout the song. The instruments are also very fun and chill, and make you feel happy. Great work once again, keep it up :)

JensVide responds:

Thank you, that really motivates me.

[Wondre - Break the Silence]

This is so beautiful! It feels like something that can play in so many different scenarios yet still be calming and peaceful. The timbre contrast between the breakbeat and melody was very nice and refreshing, and the rest was just soothing. Amazing work, keep it up :)

Wondre responds:

Thank you for the nice words! This was actually released early on accident (was supposed to be released July 1st lol). If you like this style, you will definitely love my upcoming album :)

[Deserted Town - One Such As Me OST]

Great work! This sounds perfect for what it's intended for, and has a really interesting feeling to it. The textures in the song sound ethereal and mystical, and the pauses in the melody make it sound very lonely. Keep it up :)

Irish-Soul responds:

Thanks for the great feedback :)

[Wrath - The Musical Imp]

This definitely sounds cinematic! I love the slow buildup to the more intense part of the song, and the dynamics were arranged perfectly. The feeling is mysterious and melancholy, and you managed to encapsulate that very well. Great job, keep it coming!

TheMusicalImp responds:

Thank you for the kind words.

[Mysterious Woods]

Awesome work! The mysterious feeling is really emphasized a lot by the chords you shift to throughout as it creates this uneasy feeling. The instruments felt very nice and soft, and the strings helped build up suspense. I also love the triangle lol. Keep up the great work :)

Thanks so much!

[The Papier-Mâché Man (Instrumental)]

This sounds so nostalgic, I love it to bits! It sounds like the kind of stuff I'd hear when walking on the shore of a beach or passing by a place at sunset. But what's so amazing about this is it's played live, this isn't mapped, and I always find this kind of work just so beyond impressive. It sounds absolutely flawless and so natural. You picked up the acoustic very well with the SM57 too so props to you for that. Amazing, keep it up!!

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Ah thanks! Yeah I mic most of my stuff other than the electric guitars, which I just plug straight to my little akai. It is a real pain to try to get it to sound good, but i prefer it to the alternatives I suppose. Thanks a lot for the kind review :)

[Jamuary 2022 (Day22) - Never Far Apart]

This is very sweet and calm, I like it a lot! The guitar sounds really nice, and the synthy lead instrument is very complementary. I feel like this could play in so many kinds of genres of games, but I think it would be especially cool in a sandbox, a menu, or an rpg game cutscene. Keep it up :D

metalblinga responds:

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it, it makes this Jamuary challenge all worth it :)

[Bing chilling]

This is amazing lol. I love how you took some of the most weirdest memes and actually managed to make a dancy bouncy remix out of them. It even has a good progression that makes the almost four minutes of the track never feel stale. Even though this is a joke mix it's pretty awesome work, keep it up!

Thank you :)
