Cool ideas behind this, great job!
Good vibes, definitely doing some creative stuff in the mix.
Maybe the chorus kind of repeats too long, and needs something else to break it up.
Also, singing on key is something that takes a lot of practice, and is worth it (over using auto-tune). You really have to practice moving to different intervals, treating the voice like it is an instrument.
Nicely done though, lots of cool stuff here.
Hey man you delivered something creative, it's well composed but I think the mix could use some deep dive in, for example I know you went for the galactic vocals and all, but some times it get inconspicuous.
I couldn't find much relation with the theme, but the songs are good overall :)
keep on grinding and take care!
Thanks for listening! The connection to the theme is that I think of space when I hear "far reaches," so I tied the lyrics and synths into a space theme.
Can echo what Grunt. and TurtleBox mentioned about the mixing stuff, but as a whole the vibes are great.
Good job!
I really liked what you made! I'm probably gonna be singing that melody from 'Mutant' to myself for the rest of the day. I also really liked your lyrics and choice of harmony throughout the submission.
Some food for thought - I felt that the vocals were a little difficult to hear at times. The rest of the instruments were a little overbearing, especially the bass + lower frequencies. Maybe try readjusting the volume of the instruments so that the vocals are a little more in front, imo. Additionally, I found myself adjusting the volume when each track started to get a consistent volume.
Thanks for sharing your work :)
Pretty solid submission. I think it's a nice diverse trilogy of tracks you've got here. I think the mixing could have used a lot more work, especially once the vocals get involved. Overall a great submission with a lot of effort put into it, so good job.
