Hello :)

I haven't had the time, between voting and writing a few comments, to thank everyone who left their appreciation on Aqua's page. So I'm doing it now!

Thank you all for your comments, which are always constructive and kind. It's a pleasure to read and listen to you all :)

This Jam, and all the excellent musicians participating in it, is a huge source of motivation and creation for me. Thanks again, and a big bravo to everyone!

See you at the next Impressions Composing Jam :)

Nice... huh?... oh, okay... but... breathes in... ponders... what?... oooooh... taps on their radio :D 

I love it!

A pro-level production! The techniques are truly mastered, and the build-up at 2:35 (especially the beginning) is magnificent! The mix is very well-balanced, but... :p it lacks a bit of overall dynamic range (maybe a tad too much bus processing or on the master?).

 Huge bravo for this magnificent production :)

Yes, Verdant Red is really effective!! A perfect track for intense gameplay :) As for Verdant Green, as has been mentioned, it's a little too 'MIDI file' sounding, which I think is due to the sound choices and overly harsh quantization. That said, I believe it's the only groovy 6/8 in this Jam! Well played :)

The importance of the voices, a very beautiful musical journey :)

Hey! An Opus user :) Trying to master that beast myself, great job!

You might want to work a bit more on the instrument dynamics; in my opinion, that's what's missing for even more realism. (Do you know the trick of mapping CC11 and CC1 together in Opus's macros? It helps a lot!). Nice composition by the way!

A music lesson on many levels, I think I'm going to pick out a few harmonic progressions! And a game too... Seriously, do you ever sleep? :D Big bravo to you!

A lot has already been said, so I won't add much, except that all the tracks took me on a journey through their video game landscapes, and I really love 'Zwiebel the Witch' **Looks for her wig** :D Great work!

Contract successful! I was in Korine City—a magnificent cyberpunk track. Congratulations to you and Pleatsandprints! Trés classieux :)

Well, Nova, to me these tracks are the masterpieces of sound design in this jam. Huge bravo to you! 'Navigating the Astral Rift' is truly what I love about this style.

If I may offer my opinion just on the mastering (the mix is great): it seems a little too 'crushed.' Loosening up your compressors/limiters a bit, even if you lose a little loudness, would allow you to gain some spatialization and get back a bit of 'air' (headroom/dynamic range).

Maybe you should stick with K14 ;) 

Congrats again, I'm going to give it another listen right now!

I'm no chiptune specialist, but I think the electro approach in your compositions is really well done, and I really like the harmonic choices. GG guys, 4 really good tracks :) (with a slight preference for 'A valuable rock' ^^)

Thanks! And like I said, you did an awesome collab with Fiumals, bravo.

Thanks!! I appreciate the feedback! I have to admit, the 'jungle' part is my favorite too.

Great tracks on your end as well :)

Thank you all for your votes and your supports! See you next time :)

Thanks for the comment! The idea behind the Metal part and the scream is indeed to suggest someone going crazy in that elevator ;)

This one : Odin III :)

Hi, Thank you so much for your encouragement and your more than constructive criticism :)

I admit that the mix is way too dry, that'll teach me to finish with tired ears... I just want to do another mix, but I'm waiting for the votes to end!
