Description
I was originally going to make several songs, but I changed my mind about that and decided to make 1, but then I changed my mind again and chose to include the last one as a bonus

Fun stuff! ??! reminded me of some work by the musician, Blockhead. Trip hop elements mixed with breaky-glitch elements, super creative!
Love the glitchyness, I think it adds a lot especially to the more chiptune aesthetic of the first song. ??! was my favorite, I really like how abstract it was!
Dark Light Knight - Cute, melodic, CHEAPTUNE!!!1! And it sounds incredibly cosmic..... I wanted to be an astronaut.)
??! - IN COM-PANY. INCOME, DO IT DO IT... I confess. it was unexpected) I think that “glitchiness” in the second track is a cool solution (which, by the way, can be successfully used in big concept albums, heh). But the ringing guitar was a little bit cutting to the ear....
Overall - I liked it! Definitely creative)
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
great and very creative use of panning! i love the creative use of glitchy type effects made by the dipping and cutting of instruments. good production. honestly, i feel like your first track could benefit from one or two more layers or perhaps blending like Eetu mentioned to give the song more depth (this is done well at 1:34 imo!). the second track adds a lot of contrast in comparison with the first track and i like the breakcore-type drums utilized with the piano. very unique and creative ending with the glitchy effects. great work!
This is some fun wild stuff!
The second song really interested me, I don't know what kind of inspirations you take but the quality of how the vocal sample was used reminds me a lot of Close to Me by sabrepulse, I think the direction you went with it though is pretty cool, i enjoyed the experimental vibes of it a lot :>
Really dig all the bends and trills at the ends of phrases in Dark Light Knight! I feel that tracks would've benefited from some reverb to blend the sounds together in a cohesive space, since some of the sounds are pretty dry and then the brass is really wet (might just be my personal preference though😅)
Nice instrument panning! Bit lacking of volume balance. Overall interesting fun experience! Good work)
Dark Light Night is pretty sweet, enjoyed listening, I liked that you picked up on something different at 1:35 but I think you could do that earlier, I was on the verge of questionning myself if it was gonna change a bit at some point. The bonus track is so different it does not seem like its part of the same album but very very different and unique. Enjoyed overall.
'Dark Light Knight' feels cinematic for a chiptune approach. Background effects are very nice too, I love how it evolves. Super interesting sound design in the bonus track.
Cool chiptune. Nice production. The bonus track was a fun addition! Great work.
I liked the vocals at the beginning of the second track alongside the music it was cool. Wasn't personally as big of a fan of the rest of it with the glitchy sounds since it doesn't feel like something I would want to listen to as a song at that point.
