[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!

[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!

KayozKun responds:

Thank you :)

[Lights]

Very relaxing, and definitely very smooth. I'm always impressed when instruments are played live in songs, so that's also very nice! The reverb on the guitar made it feel so spaced out and relaxed, it was a very nice touch. Keep up the great work :)

JoeliusNG responds:

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the kind words.

[Accelerate]

Oh man I love that shift into pitch tune! And I can definitely hear the inspiration (especially with the way Waterflame often did his strings), but this still definitely sounds very original and unique. The melody is just very happy and exciting too, very playful. I love it a lot, so keep it coming :D

JoHassa responds:

Will do! Thanks for the feedback :D

[Windows Vista]

I can't blame you for using drums outside of Vista sounds, because regardless, this still definitely sounds like a vista song :)

I really like these kinds of compositions, they're very creative and challenging, and you managed to not only make something sound beautiful but also very nostalgic. It sounds kind of like a happy winter song. I love it very much! Keep it up with the creative and cool ideas :D

orbitron408 responds:

Thanks! :-)

[cool beat i suppose]

This oddly sounds like Earthbound music with its own unique feeling, I like it! Would be interesting if it stretched out a little longer to see what you could've done, and maybe you can make a full song using this as a backing track! Keep it up :)

llitterbox responds:

ayo thanks! have had a lil trouble making more lenghty songs recently but i'll see i guess.

[Multiverse]

Very spacy and atmospheric, I love it! Your tracks always have a unique style to them that just feels very special :)

I like the different plucky noises and pads you used, as well as how the song progresses over time. And I love the jittery parts of the melody too! Can't wait to hear more from you :D

DJVI responds:

Thank you so much, that's awesome to hear! I already got some cool new music in production so don't worry, I got you covered :)
