it's really cool - definitely feel much less experienced compared to the majority of submissions here. I'm less of a composer and more of someone just having fun exploring sounds, but I love the idea of a theme as it helps me explore my system in new ways and practice achieving a specific end goal rather than just aimless sound meandering
I saw in the comments below that you forgot to include the reverb, which I think would have definitely brought this more into the crystal castle vibe. However as a modular artist I can really appreciate the textures and the progression of the track through it's sounds. I'm someone that leans away from harsher sounds so subjectively this isn't my thing (again I think reverb would have helped that) but I can totally see this as some quirky part of an 8-bit vibe - maybe even going so far as to run some aspects through a bit crusher! cool track
thanks! yea I have virtually no experience composing or mixing and found this invite on Reddit - it's very likely my levels were out of whack. I recorded straight into a field recorder and just exported from there with no processing so the mix is pretty low quality - I tried to focus mostly on meeting the theme. thanks for listening!
thanks - yea I didn't really do any mixing on this - no DAW or anything, just straight out from the modular into the H4N. Definitely could use compression and better gain staging. thanks for listening
