Sheni: The initial gated glitchiness seemed to place us directly in the biology research lab. The beat (very well-produced by the way) then seemed to shift the focus to the determination and drive of the main character in the story. The piano seems to represent the humanness of the situation and does a nice job working with the more technological electronic instruments and percussion. My favorite part of the track was 1:47 until the end with the really creative sound design!
REM: Equally impressive production on this track! There is more of an urgency to this track and I love the sound design at the break point about half way through where there are instrumental elements that seem like a heart beat and sirens. The organ at 1:30 was an unexpected choice, but I love the dire and climactic tone it delivers to finish out the track.
These tracks are impressively cohesive which I think was one of the biggest hurdles we faced in the collaboration on our submission. Thank you for the story you wrote - it was engaging and provided great context that helped me really appreciate your tracks to the fullest potential! I’m very curious about the white dwarf star and it would be fun to hear more tracks that describe the remainder of the story. Great job with the collaboration and thank you both for sharing!
