It's amazing you were able to get all this done in just 10 days. You'd think compromises would have to be made with this many songs, however, each track feels like it has the same amount of care put into it. I also really appreciate the amount of depth you put into the story behind each song. Really impressive submission. Great job!
Wow, these made me feel like I just got punched in the face... in the best way possible! I am not super well versed in this side (or really any side) of EDM but I can tell this production is great. It's not easy to have a mix this in your face while still maintaining good dynamics, but you managed to do it. Great job!
Thank you! Funny you bring up King Crimson. They were one of the bands I was referencing for that really tight, almost lifeless late 60s- 70s snare tone but I really didn't end up getting that close. In terms of the time signature, I wrote the bass part first and it just happened to be in 7/4 (or more accurately 4/4 + 3/4 (or even 8 + 6 as you said)) and then 7/8 for the B section. I find when you write music that just so happens to be in an odd time signature, it tends to work out better than music written in an odd time signature just for the sake of it (although I do in fact do this sometimes).
Boreas: Amazing textures! I never knew where the piece was going and I loved every second of it. The build to the climax is really satisfying. It's surprisingly hard to make good-sounding drones like this. Great job!
Notus: The ambient sound effects provide a great bridge between the first track and this one. Love the progression and guitar work. I got some nice Radiohead vibes from it. This track also has a great climax.
Great submission overall!
