TY! I definitely worked with the sound design first this time around and drew inspiration from that, musically. 

Noted! I think every jam I wrack my brain around these midi strings, and they still kick my butt. Ty!

I do like the innovation here, the sax is interesting, though I think that perhaps it could've been switched out with perhaps another loud instrument, or maybe even double-downed and dueted from 3:50ish on, because it definitely could've gone harder.

Overall, a great piece and well-composed battle track, and I think the mix is really good. The instrumentation with the synths nails that old-school dark vibe.

You've got a lot of good movement going on here. What's great is how the anticipation builds, not just thrown in your face all of a sudden. I think you could've gone with a deeper sound somewhere in the track to fill some space, but overall, I like the track. 

Great work! 

This is a great composition, and I think you captured both scenes well orchestrally. The hits from 2:10 and on jumpscared me quite a bit 

Well done. The strings are a nice touch, and the piano is wonderful. The balance between melodic elements and sound effects is great, not overwhelming, but rather integrated well for the scene. I think some slow panning of the ticking sound would have been nice to create variety in the track. 

  Great work! Would love to hear more of your stuff in the future!

I don't have much to say. I love a good orchestral piece in these jams. The percussion is especially my favorite. I think your track captures the 'working-ness ' of the colossus. I think this theme could also work for Scene 1 as well, with some added sound effects.

I liked this track a lot, the voice-work is impeccable and definitely helps complement the warbly and vocoded parts. Overall, it gives me a whimsical factory come to life. The machine noises could be toned down a bit at some points to let the other instruments take center, but altogether, I love the vibe. 

I like the direction you took this too, very odd in a mysterious and eerie way, like something's crawling around in the space. I will say, I thought the strum at the end was my computer messing up at first  

Instead of going big and loud, which you'd typically expect from a factory, I like the more ambient vibe you went with. It's spacious and captures the factory's scale, almost like a liminal space inside of it. The sound work captures it well with the distance and softness. Great work! I wonder how your take on Scene 2 would've played out as well.

I love the noise! The choices you made definitely fit your 'alien-factory' vibe. It gives off hacker vibes as well. You went big at 3:33, and it lasted long enough to leave a good soft space at the end, great timing in your track altogether! 

Really good vocals here. I wish the track were longer, of course. I enjoyed parts of the tremolo, though I think at some points it was a bit overwhelming, and I would've liked to hear the 'less-tremolated' vocals. You did a great job capturing the sheer scale of the colossus and its imposing aura!

I love the 3D render you made for the art; the lightning is a bit thicc 😩

I love the hyper-technology route you went with it, you did a great job instrumentalizing that aspect! I love the light key changes that I think you could've gone even bigger with it at the end! Really well done overall, I would love to hear more of your stuff in the future.

For the eastern instruments, I usually use East West RA or Silk. 

Ty for the feedback! I think you clocked me hard, since the 2nd track was the last one I worked on actually. I looked at the almost 5 minute mark with the other two and was like "ehhh, I can try and squeeze in another track", lol!

Firstly, I enjoyed reading through the devlog! I've noticed I do very similar notes, but in a notepad, lol.

The track gives such whimsical and magical vibes. It actually reminds me of Kingdom Hearts, but specifically the Alice in Wonderland world (overall, a walk through an enchanted area vibe). I also think the Day 6 track could've also worked in succession to Stroll Through The Garden, with some tweaking done. Thematically, I could see it being a darker tone, perhaps the introduction to the dreaded season of Summer.

Love the composition! I think the upbeat route for this jam is rather hard to do, due to the nature of the image, but I think you did a great job capturing the floral-ness of Spring! The image is also cute and shows the playfulness of the track itself, birds are so energetic and full of life, which is shown throughout your submission! At 1:25, you even have that subtle nod to Vivaldi's Spring, and it's done in a simple but effective way. Great work! 

I love this take on the theme. I see it as a very positive and 'fun' vibe—matching the idea of spring, flowers blooming, and so on! Various melodic elements that fit perfectly with each other. Really awesome work!

I love how the track transforms and takes the listener to different points, stunning and magical! Instrumentally outstanding and a rich mix well done!

May I also get that diva award? 

Dang! I guess eventually I'll have to do that ID thing if I want it to work 😩, ty though for the help.

Ahhhh this has been frustrating me for a while. I think someone told me last time that I need to send like an ID thing for verification so the chapters show up (I didn't do it), but I tried your suggestion. Hopefully it works as I can't really check it on mobile atm.

Ty for the feedback!

I love the variety of sounds in this track; it's daring and works so well (one of the things that makes experimental so cool!). I think some low-end, like you mentioned, would've been a nice touch, but nonetheless, amazing work! I can't wait to see more of your creations. The electronic/experimental group always comes up with the most interesting interpretations! 

Honestly gives me Chordata Bytes I vibes, minus the vocals.

This makes a wonderful ambient track; It's relaxing, simple, but effective in composition. At 1:53, I think a light whoosh or pad leading into the change could've made the shift a bit more impactful and brought more variety in the track. Great work!!

I like the darker tone you've gone with for this jam! The transition between winter and spring will always just remind me of groundhogs lol. I think your interpretation is keen as well, as I never really thought about the background of the woman in the image, but I see it from your perspective! I think the reverb is a bit concert hall-like (but tbh I like the immersion of this being a piece being played live). 

I like Echoes a lot! The track gives off a nice and emotional story. It has a somber vibe altogether. At 2:12, the light echoes on the piano are such a nice touch. 

I like the flow of this track. I agree with Fox on the interesting chords, which make it have a more 'thoughtful' type of feeling (fits the title of your track). Reflects your interpretation of the image; it sounds like reminiscing and waiting. 

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely agree, I think I usually play it too safe and familiar throughout my tracks; I think I wanna experiment more with this in the future. 

Thank you so much for the feedback! I always like hearing where my tracks took people, and I'm glad you enjoyed them and the art! 

So magical and beautiful. I think you definitely nailed that Disney princess-feel.

Love the textures, and the variety and subtle changes you've weaved into your track. I look forward to hearing more of your stuff!

I like the chillness and the addition of Einel's photography! The track has a nice meditative vibe. This collab also makes me want to do a collab with someone, it seems fun! Great work, Fox².

You've got a nice blend of the instrumental and ambient textures, well done! 

Beautiful work, I actually get the opposite vibes, like being cozy and warm! 

Einel mentioned exactly what I was thinking while listening, I got total 70s vibes from this! I think you could've worked a guitar in somewhere, like a drone pushed somewhere in the back (you did this well in I forget which track exactly in the Imagination #3 jam). 

I can relate to the time management aspect; some people work better with less time, but more time was definitely needed this time around. I like the simplicity of your submission, though. I think it worked in your favor to depict a scenic frozen vibe. I would like it if you posted your fully-done version on discord in the future! I plan on doing the same (if I get to it lol). Great work!

Amazing work! Subtle and very much a frozen setting. LABS truly comes in clutch with a lot of those frozen instruments/kits. I think actually you could've used like a low drone (like Harmonic Bass in Astral Forms, for example) to fill just a tiny bit of space, but besides that, the sounds are great! 

I love the piano-work, amazing composition as usual. 

I like the dangerous vibe this track gives off, I kinda wish it was a bit longer though, like adding a break in between where it gets real ambient. I like your digital and tech approach to your track, it gives off finding some sort of ancient technology in an ice cave.

Ooooo, you nailed the atmosphere very well! I like those little tines and textures. The sound work is great too!

I think you have a solid base to work with, and I think you could add more sounds and instruments. I think you have the 'cold' and 'isolated' feel, and it could be better with some more work. Very nice mood!

I like it, it's not overly complex and jarring. You nailed that winter-y feeling overall!
