Description
I really like the theme and the artwork. The matte colours inspired me to create a mysterious, fragmented electronic soundtrack. One summer night, one crime.

My dude, name your tracks! I wanna know what vibe you were going for or you felt when creating them. Even if you want the listener to determine the story or emotions themselves, you gotta set us up with something! Overall, nice sound, but definitely could have benefited from some more variation, especially in the drums on the last two tracks. The energy drop-off and ending of track 1 is well done, nice job there.

I do wish the songs felt a little more different from each other, and having names for each would be nice. That being said, I do like your sound design- Nice work!

very good and peaceful, feel like I'm in a Dream world with this :)

Sounds like something I would make.

I felt like there isn’t really a progression in tracks, I challenge you to experiment with variation more inside each track in the future, it usually makes it more alive.

Heya! good listen really appreciated the sound design of your tracks! The first track felt slightly cyberpunkish and the second was a bit more pop-oriented. 

The main issue that the tracks fall into is creating a story based on the inspirational material, and because the sound design is so similar, the intro, build up, climax, and fall are not overtly present, which is not as important for Ambiant soundscapes, but it is important that the user is still anchored onto something that has movement. 

What I find really helpful is either drastically changing the tempo between tracks, or using the flag feature in ableton to map out the song structure of an already existing piece and try to add/remove based on that as a good starting outline. 


I think given the right context, your pieces are really enjoyable, but beyond a 'blanket' of sound, there isnt too many land marks for the listener to grapple onto and attach these songs to different places in their brains. 

Regardless it was a pleasant listen and I'm glad you entered so I could hear it!

I have an identical figure of Buddha next to my desktop too lol! The music sounds pretty nice, too, but i agree with what the others said in the comments about the tracks sounding too similar

It's pretty music that nicely captures the vibe of the image prompt, but I'm not really getting a feeling how this would connect to a game, since the tracks feel like they would all fulfill the same function.

I do wish you had explained how it fits the theme better.

As for the music itself, it all feels a tad samey. Very slow and light. in the description, you put "One Crime" but none of the songs feel like anything crime related.
