I really like the hang notes used in Acceptance - it perfectly sells that 'not all is as it seems' kind of vibe in an otherwise almost positive sounding track. This is a great accompaniment to being unable to fully reign or perhaps understand what it is you're feeling. Bordering on haunting - almost like it is luring you deeper into a maze and you can't quite find the will to break off and turn around.
Confusion is a little more straight-forward in its storytelling. Hectic and tense. Furthering from the maze comment above, it feels like something that might play once you're deep in and you've realised that you've lost track of what was guiding you down there to begin with. Really like how you captured this mounting unease and panic - super solid choice of chords in this as well, reminds me of underscore in a movie.
Inside my World is pensive; almost like an unwilling acceptance is looming on the fringe of the mind. It's dark but not ominously dark. Evocative and ever-progressing. Once again I love the use of time between the chords in this - letting everything sink in and breathe, much more impactful than simply busying things up. Heavy chords as well - really exploring the lower register. Side note - the intro progression to this reminded me of Something About Us by Daft punk, which in itself is an emotional and evocative track so that was neat.
And, finally, Persistence to round out my listening. There's no sugarcoating what kind of stage this is setting - it's dark, it's omnipresent. Some waning hope in some of the lead melodies at the beginning and then an unapologetic frantic loss of hope with the staccato deep chords. Great idea having this end on a more emotional outro with the re-introduction of some high register playing.
I realize that I listened to these effectively backwards I think - I just followed the order they're in on SC but it felt cohesive as an experience. Also, lmao @ the profile pic on there also.
Super solid submission - varied, virtuosic and perfectly in theme with the write-up and the vibe you were going for. Unapologetically dark and oppressing at points. Enjoyed it, best of luck!
