Feeling the game groove on this - good job!
I'm digging the retro game style of this piece! The xylophone had a very satisfying tonality and it felt good when it came in. I also liked the stereo effects and mixing you did on it. I think the organ-like synth wasn't quite as strong in terms of how it "felt," if that makes sense, but served its purpose and contributed to the spookiness. This would definitely fit into a ghosts and goblins kind of game that is also upbeat and doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a great place to be. Nice composition, overall!
This song gives me the sense of a tachycardic chase scene that is really driven forward by the single-note bass pulse and the persistent off-beat snare and chord stab. I think you have a very well-developed xylophone melody that emerges in the second half that I think is very singable, but also sits very nicely over spooky chords and the secondary xylophone arpeggios. The half step dissonances are also pleasantly spooky. It may have been nice to have some variation in volume or velocity each note was hit so it has less of a robotic sound, but I think it is overall well-composed. Overall great work and thank you for sharing!
Nice song! Starts out fast and simple. The song is easy on a first listener's ear, nice job there!
I liked the variation at 0:14 by ending that chord immediately, and varying again at 0:24. Nice use of chords, they are spooky for sure. I liked the introduction of some melody in 0:52, because I kinda missed that a bit in this song (you might argue it doesn't need much, but I like melody :(. )
Overal, nice entry!
Thanks!! im glad you liked it
feels like i'm getting chased, nicely done
Thanks!!
