Woohoo, this is super cool. I sense melancholia in this piece, blended with nostalgia. Great use of tracker. I dig the key change at 2:53. Great work

[SPURME x Cvmpliant - Digital Angel]

my legs have become wings please help

[Milky Way Belt]

I'm enjoying going through your portfolio, some absolute bangers like this one. I'm not a huge fan of the way the repeated quarter notes in the melody after 1:03, but that climactic payoff at 2:46 is schmoney.

[New Guac]

This is such a blast; great form and instrumentation, compelling harmony and rhythm. The mix is good, but I would have loved to hear louder melody and much louder bass. Super fun to listen. I selfishly demand more music from you.

ChroPh0re responds:

Lol, those were the two things I realized needed fixing after completing the song with 3 minutes to spare for the contest xD demand away! I've got a huge amount of music coming down the pipeline slowly but surely, including a new album

[barkley and olajuwon's world famous prime ribs]

Mmmm, ribs. This is a lot of fun to hear, nice and emotinoally uplifitng. I think it can be even more emotional and balanced with some mix tweaking, but this is still captivating as is. Another order of post rock and ribs please

[Moonlight | AlphaStorm]

This is so cool, super emotional but not overwhelming. The cyclical chord progression and tremolo melody give me strong post rock vibes. Nice intermittent doubling on the melody, too. I can't wait to hear what you write next.

AlphaStormMusic responds:

Yeah dude! The tremolo guitar part with the delay before the amp is ripped STRAIGHT from Post-rock! It's one of my favorite sounds, just because it's a nice ambient touch!

Thank you very much for the kind words!
Best and take care!

[Disintegrating]

This sounds and captivates exactly how you intended. That looping pad is indeed ethereal, complimented by simple yet interesting bassline and drum layers. I would usually suggest more variation or some stylistic something, but somehow not this time. There's something trance-inducing in the blatant repitition, and I like this exactly how it is. Fantastic work

AeriuIka responds:

Thank you for the compliments :)

[haha yes]

Imagine this paired with a slow zoom on that hedgehog making the OK hand gesture...

[jevil if he italian]

This reminds me that "italians-ammirite" is a suggested tag in the music submission process...and I used it........

[KOROSAN - Archangel]

weeeee, minor pentatonic! Great combination of stuttering / short-term repititon and long-term variation. I love the way color bass unitlizes LFOs. Great second buildup and contrast in tone. I think you kept the portamento notes in the non portamento-instruments, like the piano and mallet percussion. This is a stylistic choice, but, regarding after the second drop, I think you can continue with the melody longer and get way crazier with it. At least, that's what my ears told me you could be hinting. Super cool track

KOROSANMUSIC responds:

ayy tysm!! yup you're right, but i made this song in like January 2022 so yea its a bit old haha. thx for the kind words tho!
