Description
Genre is a Cyberpunk/Futuristic version of City Pop/Hard Rock respectively. The game I envisioned is a futuristic version of a rhythm game like DDR or Guitar Hero. The track titled Dance Off! is a city pop inspired dance song, like one that you would find in a DDR in a Cyberpunk Future. The track titled Guitar Hero 2077 is inspired by long, hard rock solos of the late 80's, then morphed into a futuristic rendition. Musescore was used to create the score and Bitwig was used for the soundfonts and mixing.

Message from the artist:
I hope you enjoy!

This is really great, I love all the positivity and happiness in your tracks! Guitar Hero 2077 conveys that rythm gamey feeling really well and Dance Off! is just such a banger!!! Love it!

Thank you so much! I tried to spin it a different way with the positive vibe. :)

So much energy! I love the chaotic-ness of Dance Off! and the sounds you chose for Guitar Hero, definitely sounds like a track for a rythm game!

Developer

Thank you so much, definitely what I was going for!

oh! nice track I love the theme of Dance off :)) 

Guitar Hero seems to me that it works well for a game on this theme of jam !  

Developer

Thank you so much!

Love the high energy of Dance Off, and the aggressive bassline of Guitar Hero 2077 is really fun. :)

Developer

Thank you so much!

It's obvious that a lot of effort went into this! There are some mixing tweaks that could be applied, and breaking up the lead lines with some longer notes is sometimes something that keeps the listener's ear engaged. But great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I definitely got a bit carried away with the lead at some parts lol.

some really great sounding tracks! Favorite was definitely the guitar hero track although I would have loved some automated distortion or flanger in the bass to make it feel more alive, other than that solid work!

Developer

Thank you! I didn't realize until I had it finished like 30 minutes before the jam ended but I definitely agree, the bass falls a bit flatter in that song than I would've liked. Thanks for the feedback!

Dance Off! is a really happy bop, and it has it all - arp synths, leads and a good attitude!

Can definitely tell the technical 80s guitar lead influence in Guitar Hero 2077, cause it’s full with awesome fast leads! Starts off quite relative and then ramps up the chaotic factor!

Developer(+1)

The chaotic factor is definitely what I was going for! Thank you!

Dance Off sounds like funky player jamming for his life ^_^. Cool groove, good job!

Love the Cyberpunk DDR idea. And then Guitar Hero 2077 is brilliant naming haha. That synth around 0:18 in it gives me Sega Genesis vibes (I think that's what I'm thinking of anyways lol). Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! The Cyberpunk DDR idea came after having made the song, it just felt right lol.

Submitted(+1)

I like how fast and upbeat these songs are!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Submitted(+1)

So fun and lighthearted! I like how there's a few different synths playing almost conflicting rapid-fire arpeggios that blend into this wave of energy. Definitely got me moving :)

Developer

Thank you so much, the arpeggios were one of my favorite parts!

Submitted(+1)

I can really hear the rhythm game influences, both songs I could envision in a rhythm game like DDR. My only complaint is that the mix sometimes gets pretty busy especially in Dance Off but I wouldn't say it's a major issue. Great work!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I definitely need to work on a few things mixing and DAW related.

Like others have said Dance Off! was my favourite of the two, fun and upbeat vibe!

Developer

Thank you so much! It's my favorite too.

The first entry I am hearing here that is not gloomy and somber. What a nice twist on the theme! I can see this together with a flashy color palette in a dancing game. Both tracks are very energetic and motivating. Great job!

Developer

That's exactly what I was thinking when making this! Thank you!

With Dance Off! I got Osu Stream beatmaps into my mind instantly haha.
Love those arp combinations in both of your tracks!

Developer

Thank you! I think the arps really made these tracks.

Submitted(+1)

Nice work.

Dance Off! - I really like that fast paced arp. Definitely adds that rhythm game vibe.

Guitar Hero 2077 - Haha, I like the name. Pretty good. Definitely a futuristic choice of synth patches. I like when you arp these around. My favourite part is probably the brassy sound that comes in later.

Personal favorite: Dance Off!

Thank you so much! I'm happy Guitar Hero 2077 turned out good, the musescore soundfonts I used didn't do it much justice at first.
