Thanks! Artwork was by a friend. I've heard feedback #1 before, and want to try to incorporate more structural variation in my stuff in the future for sure. And for #2 I did have a little story overview I was working on but I wasn't sure if it would be too much and so I didn't put it all here. But yeah, thanks for the feedback!

Very on point to the theme. Imagining a future as described by the theme, and pasting it on to real life, disposability truly is what I see.

The sounds used really tickle a certain part of my brain, I love the intensity, and I love the detuned, out of place feeling some of them have. However in the arrangement of those sounds, it hangs on to certain ideas for a little longer than feels good, and doesn't further progress on those ideas to keep it interesting.

On the last track, I could see more work put into certain elements creating a real face-melting banger. But as it is, it's still very cool and fun to listen to.

Experimental and intense, a good listen.

This project gave me some SNES vibes, with a more modern sound of course. The first few tracks were very chill, and Cyborg Assistant is very cute and fun. Infiltrating the Factory dips into the darker elements, with A Moment to Rest giving us well, a moment to rest before the two big finishers, and my favourite tracks. Destroy the Replicant is intense and also introspective, and Kill Creator really bends the whole vibe of the project in a very cool way.

Enjoyable and very on theme, I could visualize some scenarios in my head that might play out while listening. Everything is easy on the ears and doesn't stick out, though sometimes leaves a lot of room, which evokes cold, empty metal structures in my mind.

The arrangements were fairly simple, not to say this is a bad thing necessarily, it just didn't challenge me very much, though that's more of a personal preference based on my music tastes.

I enjoyed this, it's a very cohesive and fun listen, with a bit left to be desired in terms of complexity.

Very chill and uplifting, with moments that bring up the pace and add a little more intensity.

I really like the idea of using a certain set of synths as 'instruments' and creating a whole project with them, I liked the ones you used individually, though occasionally at some points, together they didn't quite sound as cohesive. Every element is very clear and well mixed, nothing drowns out anything else and it's never too busy or too empty.

There are small moments where certain elements kind of go out of the expected key or progression, which can be interesting, but I feel the usage was a little hit or miss for me, though gives it a very explorative feel.

At first Code Between the Lines was my favourite, the 'bass' and 'guitar' play off each other very well, but when Rerouting a Mindset came on my head really started bopping, and I feel this track is where everything you were trying to do with this project really came together in a nice finish.

Overall I enjoyed this project for it's exploration of it's ideas and chill, nostalgic feel.

thank you so much! so sorry just have to clarify, i did 2 of the challenges, but the submission form wouldn't let me post my project unless I checked all of the challenge boxes. idk if that had been fixed since, but yeah, it was broken at the time. edit: edited my submission to reflect this

oops forgot to upload images of my workspace, will do that soon
