Cell 4839 had me thinking this would strictly be chiptune, but hearing the piano come in immediately changed my perception of what was to come. This piece is laden with tension; a quiet dread, offset only by the faintest glimmer of hope. A lot of interesting voicings occurring in this one.
A Curious Creature has some really delicious bit-crushing going on off the bat, giving some really neat textural vibes to the track on the get go. The pads swelling out reminded me of something I'd hear in Biohazard on the Genesis/Megadrive. Orchestration kicking in after the big blow-out was neat, and really gave the piece a very expansive feel.
Break Out Duo comes in with some strong patches and a thick kick with just a hint of crushing on the top end. I love how the saws here are wavering constantly and panning around the place, giving them some real motion. The lead lines are interesting and the chosen voicings give some real texture. I absolutely love when the percussion gets some extra layers - it spices things up just enough and adds some real ear-candy.
A Home of Our Making caught me off guard a little; the intro feels very ominous, but then it gives way to some gorgeous piano work and orchestration. Nice use of the bird calls here to ground the piece. The delay on the key melodies here are fantastic and really round out the stereo-space. The entire track is like one massive release of tension; a crescendo from start to finish to encapsulate freedom. I was full sure that Break Out Duo would be my favorite of the bunch coming into this one, but I'm wholly and utterly sold on it being my favorite of the bunch.
Great work, these were a delight to listen to and pretty varied. Started well, but ended strong. Gave A Home of Our Making about three listens before having to move on! Best of luck.
