[Xevious Theme (ChordsBoy Remix)]

great composition, and i love that little switchup with the tonality at the end! do wish it was longer, but now that i think about it that may be unnecessary for a loop

ChordsInMotion responds:

Eyyy thanks! And yeah, I agree, it is a little short, and fading it out at the end probably doesn't help with the whole "loop" thing lol

I'll update this so that it loops once to extend it more B)

EDIT: I done did it B)

[Unnamed Song 999]

with it being '666' upside down i was hoping for something more satanic, cool song tho, melodies are nice

V1ZION responds:

The name is because I had no other ideas xd

[ok cheez - kickstart]

pretty cool, i like the authentic lofi quality of this, and that persistent horn(?) sample gives the track a sort of galloping, brooding quality

only critical comment is that since this is tagged as breakcore, the drums could be more dense, but then again i may be misunderstanding the style

CHEEZ2600 responds:

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to call this tbh. I would guess darkstep or techstep. Again, I was very unsure what to call it. All I know is that it's got a nice reese bass. <3

[Anibal]

controlled insanity right here

love the chip influence, and the moment at 0:25 where it goes into diminished chords is incredibly cool

SazzyBoi responds:

Thank you!!! :D

[unrecovered chimera]

really cool textures and atmospheres, and the background chords are really pretty

music based on dreams are my favorite

Rakshal responds:

Thanks!

[Sanctuary & Chaos]

not entirely sure why the dubstep part is so quiet despite being visibly clipped in the waveform

other than that, the piano part in the beginning is pretty and tranquil, the blast beats in the drops are sweet, and i like the overall idea of these two genres being smashed together like this

AceTAD responds:

he probably limited it to some super soft thing idk LOL

[Numeral 170622]

the bit noise in the background is really relaxing, and i like the drum beat towards the end. also love those apoggiaturas in the melodies. the use of the rhodes piano was also pretty cool

only recommendation is maybe add some sound effects to fill up the composition. i think some chromaticism would also have really fitted the mood this song makes

always nice to hear from you!

GlaceonDash responds:

Yeah, I can see adding some extra sounds in the BG

[Illuminate]

pretty good, i love how crunchy everything sounds, and i love the timbre of those chords. those were made in sylenth right?

Dracoflame responds:

Yup! All leads, chords, basses, plucks, and pads are from Sylenth1 banks. The pianos, guitar, and strings are from the FL packs, and the percussion and FX are taken from Cymatics sample packs. 💙

[Canvas]

the melodies are really pretty, and i especially love your use of elfferich's drums here

i love it when music has a story behind it too

OVERSCORE responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! Melodies are always the focus, everything else second. And yes, Elfferich has really nice snare…

[Those Were The Days]

definitely very chiptune-ish, yes. idk anything about rock music, but i can definitely hear the influence here

really like the sounds too, especially that digitized hammond instrument

Viraxor responds:

thanks!
