Oh, yeah!!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face. So badass!
This is a crazy entry!
Polyrhythms my beloved, I think the beginning is a little all over the place, but tbh as I listened on I feel like that maybe that was the point since it didn't really feel messy per se, in which that's really cool especially with how you tie things up at the end! Anyway this was a really fun track to listen to. Great work :3
A bit all over the place. CRAZY CHORDS
Imho, it needed a BIG amount of fixing. That's just aimlessly jamming on a keyboard, sorry.
Very interesting ! It feels a bit busy for the theme, but i still think it can work ! I really liked the ending : ) Cheers on the manual Performance !
Yeah it was really hard to stay in the lines on an assignment to stay simple. Glad you had fun rating.
Interesting piano piece, a bit avant garde.
I really like the polyrhythms you used, it has a lot of personality and charm. Great job!
I love how chaotic the whole track was before you gave it a great release with the end, cleaning up everything. Great job! I don't see anything bad of note to report as a bad thing, it was super clean.
I see what you did there ! :-D
I feel like the polyrhythm of the guitar and the piano sometimes tend to become a bit chaotic and messy, but the resolution at the end brings it back home altogether in a nice and conclusive way.
Mix-wise, some EQ-ing on the piano to get rid of some in-your-face frequencies, and some air/brightness to the guitar would do great, and maybe some panning/stereo positioning to separate the 2 instruments in a clearer way - especially if the guitar gets a rework on the high end of the spectrum.
Nice work !
