[The Art of Zoning Out]

the instruments and production sound really good! i'm not sure how much of the melodic/harmonic content is composed by you or part of the game music you're remixing but that sounds great as well

timaeus222 responds:

Thank you! :) I'd say it's about 70% original if we look at the instrumentation+melody+harmony, since a lot of it is in 5/4 time signature with modified rhythms, and the harmonies were written by ear.

I also edited the description to include references to the themes I used.

[Crusade - Teaser]

pretty good! i suggest writing a nice melodic chorus after this part and seeing where it takes you afterwards

FarFromSundown responds:

Thanks! Yea, I think you and I were thinking the same thing with the chorus. I'm just trying to play around with some leads to compliment the heaviness while still maintaining the energy of the first couple parts. Tis a struggle haha

[DystopiaJam]

awesome! i love me some distortion and industrial dystopic vibes

Arponax responds:

Yes, its so much fun, i would like to explore distortion rabbit hole a bit deeper :D to be able to make something a little bit more precise yet powerful.

I updated the last part btw XD i tried to make it longer so, yeah :D

[Space Crystals]

is it just me, or do some of the notes of the bassline clash with the chords and melodies on top (unless that's intentional or okay and i'm just dumb)

cool song otherwise!

[Casporb - Flip It]

i'll be honest, this could use a bit of work. the sound design is servicable, but the way the basses flow into each other needs some love. right now it just sounds like a barrage of random sounds. normally that's what i like, but i also like a balance of that and actual flow, and this song lacks coherent flow. also, the mix seems a bit thin and lacking low mids. too trebly as well

please try to take these things into account next time

edit: both drops

Casporb responds:

I know it's not great. I just wanted to get something out. Expect improvement next time.

Small question, are you talking about the first or second drop?

[Jamuary 9th - Tower]

really pretty and definitely very big

[Flame of Passion]

lol, i have no idea what the previous two reviewers are on, this shit's great! i really like the basses (especially the yoy) and the drums feel great on these headphones of mine

[LUVIN']

very frenetic, like this should be, i like that :)

[Landing Home]

you definitely nailed that 80s style here, i'm loving the synths

it is crazy to think that 2017 was 7 years ago

ItsBurner responds:

Thank you and happy holidays =]

[jumpstart]

the fills and sounds are really cool! i can definitely feel the energy channeled into this
