Description
Those who protect the peace of outer space, equipped with high tech spaceships and advanced weaponry!

A cyberpunk/synthwave main theme with a spacey vibe, where I created a chord progression meant to give the feel of initial evil, followed by the Astral Avengers triumphing over it. Just went wild on a bunch of synths and vintage effects!

Cyberpunk/synthwave influence. Had fun layering a bunch of synths to get this result!

Synths used: ARP 2600, Oberheim Matrix 12, Roland Juno-6, Roland Jupiter-8, Minimoog, Prophet 5, Omnisphere 2, Spire.

Message from the artist:
Enjoy! :)

How does it fit the theme?
Used the picture theme as a spacey cyberpunk/synthwave inspiration.

That kick drum patch slaps! Although does sort of overpower the other instruments in the track. Really like the composition. 

Developer

Thanks! The loud kick is the one thing I regret about this mix haha, wish I had finished a bit earlier so I'd catch that.

I find that it's well stuck for the 80's  with the nice melody of synthe:)!  nice track :)

It sounds really nice, I like the melody lines and the drums switch-ups quite a lot. But that intense kick paired with the wobbly visualizer makes me a little physically dizzy. It might be just me, I can't handle such music well, but it seems like I'm not the only one who has a lil problem with that kick
Anyway, great work! 

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, the kick is a touch too loud and I didnt realize it till after submission haha.

Great job on the mix, really liked your choices of percussion and synth instruments! My one nitpick would be that the laser-like kick sound gets a little fatiguing after the track has been playing for a bit, but that’s a minor flaw in an otherwise great track.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, I really wish I had turned that kick down a bit

Very astral and cyberpunky. Guess that is what you were going for. I quite like the song; my favorite part is the break, where there is a brass-like synth playing the lead, and then more acoustic drums.  I love the choice to use those drums there.

Developer

Thanks!

Love the transition in the middle, nice tunes!

Developer

Thanks!

Loved your synths! The whole vibe was great, and really catchy! 

Developer

Thanks!

Woah nice one that kick is insane! Very distinct from your last submission until the midway point which was my favorite part mostly because that super catchy melody latched onto my brain. And the transitions are really satisfying. Great job again!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked that middle part!

Banger! No really, great tune!


Loving the synths. Loving the melodies. Definitely a more optimistic spin on the theme. Also dig the middle section with the piano and that lovely lovely synth. Love the toms. Just great really.

Nice little variation on the drums every now and then as well. Switching between a more acoustic-like drumkit and the dance kick.

Great job!

Thanks, glad you liked the melodies!

Once again, a very solid entry. I imagine this playing in one of the earlier levels of a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer, with the lights in the background changing on the beat. Nicely done!

Developer

Thanks, I can see that image as well!

Lovely synthwave, beat and melody in perfect harmony, good job!

Really solid entry. Love the shifts to the B section and back—absolutely seamless.

Developer

Thanks!

I really like the piano part! It mixes well with the catchy rythm before. Also the blend when the section ends is well made!

Developer

Thanks!

Pressed play and got caught off-guard how it goes right down to business with those thumping drums and that arp. Really fun and upbeat with that major chord at the end of the progression and that how that jazzy breakdown sneaks up on you :D

Also, the mix is really well done!

Thanks! Yeah, I liked the idea of adding some optimism with the major I at the end of those sections

Submitted(+1)

This one is so catchy and fun, I like it a lot! Big fan of the B section here with that piano. Sounds great!

Developer

Thanks! Added that section to take a break from all the high energy stuff.

Great quality! The sounds all feel very cyberpunky. If I had to nitpick, the kick was a little loud but that didn't stop me from enjoying this. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I noticed the kick being too loud after submission and wish I'd noticed earlier lol. Thanks!

I love the sound of this, super cool and it's super well mixed.
