These sounds are all really cool but I think for a game track the listening experience could be improved if you reduce some of the friction present. 1:33 how it builds and gets cut to build again for example, instead of a hard cut maybe play with some fader effect? Pitch bend, reverb it, eq, something along those lines. Maybe more variation in samples played could be nice too. Arranging these to hit on nicer downbeats or softening the attack on some parts could make it more relaxing to listen to but still give that same sort of chaotic vibe.
Thanks for taking the time to give such an extended feedback! Really appreciated! First time into the game track thing, I'm used to making ruff sounds, so I'll take that all into consideration next time. Cheers!
I was incredibly torn on how to feel ab this on an initial listen, but after listening again I think i see the vision, absolutely agree with the comment that said they were getting some IDM vibes, I think you capture this more ambient electronic style pretty well. I think my one word of advice would be to watch out for some of those lower not necessarily tonal tones, because sometimes they really take over the mix and make everything sound a bit muddy, especially when the general track is so quiet. So either lowering the volume on some of those lower notes or boosting the rest of the track (probably that tbh) will help all the parts stand out better! Well done.
Thanks for listening and for the insights on improvement! I really tend to go looking for those really low tones naturally, so I'll take that in consideration for future tracks in the game sound making aspect! Thanks and cheers!
nice and rich little clousters very hypnotic!
Thank you for listening to it! And thanks for the feedback!
Hey! I did a review of your entry via video. I posted it on the Jam discord but appreciate everyone might not be on there. Here's the video timestamp for your entry: https://youtu.be/1-aLhBdNCKE?t=878
Wow, that is a lot of work! Thanks so much for including it and for the feedback! Cheers!
Very unique take on the theme, great job!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
I really like the industrial overtones, and the drums that come in every so often are really cool. I keep wanting them to keep going and break out more, but not doing that really creates this sense of unease and tension. Super cool.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you got to listen to it and got the vibes intended :)
Wow, such a unique and original take! I can totally sense that cold mountain atmosphere you were going for. The experimental elements really add to the tension, and you nailed that eerie, unsettling vibe. It feels like the perfect fit for a horror theme. Amazing work!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! Much appreciated! I have little experience in mixing and mastering and by no means i am a musician, so i'm really glad i could translate the vibes into some musical eerieness :)
Now, this is peculiar (in a positive sense)! So abstract and angular in its sounds, and it’s quite a bold personal take on the impressions the painting gave you. Nice!
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated! I tend to go for the unseen, like the snakes in the grass in the painting :)
that's what I like, it's got an experimental feel to it, it's got the vibe of an idm and something else, it's very unusual.
Thanks! Yours tune is right next to my alley in terms of noisy music! Keep it up!
Very cool dissonant, abstract, Twilight Zone-esque vibe!
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciated! 'Twilightzonesque' is a big mood!
