You had my heart clenched in the grasp of the siren that is your voice. It's psychedelic and horrific with its hypnotising vocals.

Developer

Lovely track, liked it a lot !
Very minimalist approach with the instruments (great sounding voice by the way) but it works extremely well, coupled with the panning which creates a great atmosphere and makes it quite unique, so well done !

Developer(+1)

:') thank youuu! I'm glad to know I've accomplished any sort of atmosphere (was scared I'd completely missed it)

This is a really solid track, one of the more original ones submitted to the jam. Good work.

Loved this track. Particularly how you created an atmosphere using the panning of each vocal clip. The feeling this gave me is one I would describe as almost empowering yet suspended at the same time. It made me feel like I was in that one Black Panther scene where T'Challa was being revived, it was such an esoteric feeling. Brilliant!

Also, the cover art looks amazing!

I feel so honored compared to that mention ejhdnd :'thank you!

Well done bringing in the voice as a human element. Leading with the voice at the beginning was a strong choice and then inconspicuously bringing in that violin was a nice touch. If this is your voice you should definitely consider selling your services as a vocalist or even a voice actor. In conclusion would love to see what you do with a full body choir or small group of singers/vocalist on the production end. Could see some potential escapades into opera which aren't seen in video games. Thanks for sharing !

Love the artwork as well, tell me more about it if you dont mind.

ahh thank you so much! this was a very veryyyy small and improvised set up, meaning everything was executed, recorded and post produced by yours truly ... so thank you for the validation xd
about the seeing moon! she was born out of tarot influences, namely The Moon arcana, full of its deceptions and unpredictable nature _ water. (because of that, i actually painted it first traditionally, aqueous matter, then retouched digitally.)

when I first conceptualized the celestial body full of contemplating eyes, it felt like a fit god to  pray, weep and grief for.

so there she is,  ruler of sorrow, the all seeing moon.
