Thank you for the support and feedback! I definitely agree about the transitions and I hope to work more on arrangement in the future. Great job to you as well!
Nicely done! I really liked the sound selection and a lot of the melodic ideas. I especially enjoyed how often you would trade off melodies between the different instruments to keep them fresh. There's a consistent sound to the project and I think I would just recommend working on mixing as it was sometimes difficult to parse between the musical ideas within songs. Great job overall!
This is fantastic! I really enjoyed how atmospheric and layered all the tracks were without ever sounding muddy. I also think there was a very clear emotional progression between tracks that was heightened by the combination of your two styles. I will definitely be coming back to listen in the future; nice job! :)
Favorite tracks: The Fall of Icarus, Static Requiem, Ending Credits
Just wanted to say that I loved this! The more atmospheric tracks reminded me of Hyper Light Drifter and I can definitely see the Tron influence on the more propulsive tracks. I especially enjoyed the more growly synths and I thought everything was consistently clean and balanced in the mix. I also appreciate how much thought went into your description. Favorite tracks: Plug Out, Cyber Maze, and Magnetic Drone.
I appreciate you listing the Hollow Knight inspiration because I definitely got that sense from the soundtrack! As a self-proclaimed beginner, I really appreciate how much space you tend to give the tracks. While I agree with others that you could develop more of a focus on instrumentation, I can see that you have a good sense for song arrangement and not layering too many ideas all at once. I think it would be good to focus on sound selection so that certain instruments (eg. bells) don't sound too muddy or harsh, but overall I really enjoyed this submission's cohesiveness. My favorite tracks were the Thrall Factory and the Queen of Thorns because of their ability to generate a specific atmosphere. Good job!
I enjoyed a lot of the programmed drums and the inclusion of eerie vocal samples throughout the project. I also appreciate the flow between tracks and how it matches the narrative of the game. I think that the drums could've had more variation within their respective songs but I loved all the creativity on display!
I also quite enjoyed the melodies and how you incorporated the bells in multiple songs (they were very foreboding). The synth sounds were generally very clean and complementary to each other; To Battle was my favorite track for that reason as it reminded me of the propulsive nature of Sonic's OST. I think that some of the songs could've spent more time developing ideas before layering on more instruments but this is an overall strong submission that definitely fits the theme!
