ah you caught me! I love hollow knight! Christopher Larkin is a genius! Speaking of… your artwork and song title seem very hollow knight to me. Your entry felt a lot more electronic, but now that you mention it, I can hear some inspiration in the intro especially!
ooh there are a ton of underrated developers that make kontakt instruments that I like. I’m always looking for more people to nerd out with about that kind of stuff lol
woooah! What a cool track. That sampling is crazy. I know you mentioned this as criticism, but I actually don't mind the abrupt changes between sections. It makes sense with such a chaotic piece. nice work!
I might be crazy, but the melody reminds me a little of the melody from the Gravity Falls theme. The chord progression is also really nice. Great work!
I liked your entry a lot! I get the feeling that the two of us come from similar musical backgrounds! Are you classically trained? I think you absolutely nailed the dark souls/bloodbourne vibe you were going for. It, at times, felt almost atonal but when I sat down with my own piano/keyboard I was able to get a better idea of the tonality. I love me some sophisticated harmony;)
It's always a pleasure to be in a music jam with you. I saw that you had an entry and just had to give it a listen! The melodic minor definitely gives it a nice halloween vibe, but also, is that a little dorian mode that I am hearing in places? It's a very nice touch. I've commented this about some of your past entries as well, but you are a real expert at bringing a fun energy to your compositions. 5 stars across the board from me! I thoroughly enjoyed your entry.
Fantastic submission as usual! I had absolutely no trouble at all imagining the game this OST would accompany. You're great at building imagery through melody and creative chord choices. Will likely be giving this multiple listens on my down time. Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you for both the compliments and the criticism! Although I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the "false" piano chords, I still appreciate the honest criticism!:) You'll have to elaborate what you mean. Thanks for listening!
I’m always excited when I see that you’ve submitted to the same jam as me, because I know I’m gonna get a treat. You always write great, thoughtful, and catchy chord progressions and melodies, but you also somehow always find a way to make your music have a kind of liveliness and energy that is really difficult to replicate. It goes without saying that you nailed the theme, and made some fantastic music as usual. Thank you for sharing!
Very serene! Both of these songs I can very easily see in an actual game. They gave me some surprisingly clear imagery of a peaceful serene town by the water. Nicely done!
Thanks! My intention was to leave the main section very open and ambient, with lots of space between chords to build some anticipation, which, to me, felt like pondering, wondering, thinking, etc. But, I can definitely see how it could maybe be a little too open. Thank you for both the feedback, and for the praise:)
AHHH! I'm so glad the intended feeling landed. I can also totally see this being a theme for a little mouse or creature or something in an abandoned library. Thanks for listening!
Wow! thank you for the praise. I can send you what instrument libraries I'm using if you're interested. I'm not using anything terribly unaffordable.
Good ears! That's pretty much spot on. I had to go back and double check tbh haha. I wound up with this chord progression by switching between Lydian and Aeolian.
Thanks for listening to and analyzing my music so thoughtfully! Definitely brought some joy to an otherwise mundane Monday:)
thanks! I sorta set it up like a stinger/intro and then the main loop. I agree that it definitely could have benefited from more time mixing though. Thanks for the feedback:)
Woooah! This is cool. It’s hard to say which of the two distinct parts of this I like more, but they both are really cool. Lots of interesting colors in the harmony with the choir (spitfire labs Micah’s choir right?) and then the subtle microtonal glitchy stuff in the second half. Nice work👍
The motifs and melodies you wrote in this OST are just as catchy as they are lovely. Very memorable music in the best way! I found myself enjoying each song more than the last. Great work!
I’m really glad you enjoyed it! I tried out several AI art generators, but ended up using Starryai, mostly because they had an option to animate the process into a video.
Oh wow! This is such a detailed analysis! I’m both Flattered and blown away at how accurate most of this is! There are several details you mentioned that I thought would for sure go unnoticed. The only thing I can’t say was on purpose was the specific instruments representing specific characters in the story. In all honesty, some of my libraries sound better for solos than others, so I end up leaning on those more often. But still, thank you so much for paying such close attention and appreciating even the small things in the music, you’ve absolutely made my day my friend!!!
