[1000]

congrats! it must feel like yesterday that you posted your first track. you've certainly come a long way since then

this song is a great way to celebrate 1000 songs. i love how thumping it is, with the sidechaining and the eqing on the kick and everything

here's to a better year indeed

etK responds:

Thanks for the kind words <3 I'm glad you like the track!

nice to see another person here using lmms, not much i can say about the song itself tbh

FirechompGD responds:

yeah tbh it was made in just 5 min after i downloaded it lol

[Deeper]

calming, i love the use of long attack times on your synths to make it sound like it's reversed, the phasers on everything is nice too

reminds me of those songs from the old 90's / early 2000's documentaries

[Carol of the Bells Cover]

very cool remix! even if this isn't serious, it's a great song in its own right :D

really love the use of dubstep rhythms in 3/4, that isn't particularly common and incredibly underappreciated. your use of hard synth basses on the beats make this really fun to groove to

you know, i haven't been listening to your music lately, hope to do this soon

[To The Moon]

amazing! you've really managed to create nostalgia while also making a driving, intense song

i especially love that kick drum and how it hits on every other beat. the sense of space and loudness in this song is great too. the chip synths sound great, as always

this is a very solid song! hope to see more from you

[The Goblin King]

i know this is an older song, but damn this is underrated. really love the synthetic atmosphere you've created with your instrumentation. i love all of the little details in this, like the short attack before the kick drum and the bitcrushed vocal-sounding things. the synth tones are incredible, wish i could recreate those. the progression is nice and slow, to build up that atmosphere.

in a nutshell, this is a great track!

Thanks! I haven't done something like this for awhile, but maybe the style would be good to revisit.

[[lofi] The Seas Between Us]

really calm and trance inducing song, the emotions you've created here are rare to find in most songs tbh

i really love the vocals in the background of the song, and you definitely incorporated the songs flawlessly. don't see any issues with the mixing, everything has its place

would love to see more from you!

sleepFacingWest responds:

Thank you! I’ve been focusing a ton on stock music in an attempt to find more scoring work these last few years. It’s good to work on some more personal stuff for once.

[Become the Souless]

congrats on the frontpage! i noticed it there while i was browsing through the site trying to find something new

this is a great song! this atmosphere you've created is very intense, and the arrangement is superb. the mixing is very good, i don't see any issues with that.

i really like the basses in the drop. how did you make those? just asking >w<

[My 1000th song on NG teaser]

amazing that you've come this far, all of your music throughout the years has been great! the teaser itself sounds beautiful too :D

etK responds:

I wouldn't say the first few years were great hahaha
Thanks a lot for your support <3 I truly appreciate it!

[Asylum]

this is intense, i love the heavy sidechaining
