ooo i like the bass and the main motif, definitely has the aggression i'd associate with a boss fight. and the low, rumbling variation of the theme around 1:20 really hit the spot for me.
the grating waveform of the higher-pitched instrument and its occasional distortion work, so i think just a little extra balancing/normalization could help to bring it all together. great job overall! :)
ah that's a good critique. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
Thank you so much!
If this were actually boss fight music, that would be the grooviest boss ever!
If I had to guess, since the low bass guitar is played throughout the composition, I guess that this represents the “inner demons”. I thought it was interesting how anytime the brass was heard, it signaled the end for the bass/inner demons.
Thanks for sharing your tune!
dang I didn't even think of it that way hahaha. That's a good analogy. Thank you.
Very raw quality that I like. A little unbalanced sound-wise, I would love to hear a more polished version that retains the amount of grime and dirt. I enjoyed the "intermission" at 1:19, really unsettling and building tension. That pounding piano did provide a good counterweight to the distorted guitar sound and added some rhythmic structure as well.
thank you so much. Yea the mix is terrible honestly. So rushed.
Thanks for the compliments on the build up.
The overdriven guitar/bass makes this feel really intense and big, which serves a boss fight well. The drum beat drives it forward to make you feel like you have to take action to defeat the inner demons. The brass is a nice touch and it would have been cool I think if it had a turn to maybe take over the melody spot for a section. The creepy intensity works well for the theme, so good job overall. Thank you for sharing!
Ahh you're right. I'll consider that for future. The brass needs to shine.
This is intense! It starts off going hard and keeps it all throughout, with a little bit of time to rest in between. I think this song fits the theme pretty well, which is great.
I don't know how to say this perfectly, but I would like to see this song explore a bit more? It feels like there are plenty of different parts of the song, but within each of those parts I would like to see more movement and a bit less repetition.
thank you. Honestly this was so rush to meet the deadline. I appreciate and agree with your feedback though.
