Nice sound, composition. I like the vibe and sense of space.
Well done!
I dig the sound design and love the changeup into the new section at 1:47. Very well mixed. I feel like it should be a lot louder given the electronic production, it just seems too quiet. The psuedo-wind synth leads are so well done, texturally and melodically. I do not agree that this is too minimal. You're playing around with a single driving melodic idea and it works. This submission definitely stands out for me.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We really tried to push some different ideas with this one, seems it didn’t land as well with everyone.
compositionally speaking, very minimal. sounds perhaps too acidic.
So good! Glitchy synth jams ftw, really great mix too.
thank you! Congrats on the win, your compositions were very very good!
i always like bitcrushing. đź‘Ť
