This is so validating thank you!! I find doing drums in whatever style this is to be so so fun but also I still have a small case of imposter syndrome when it comes to writing drums from lack of formal training in that department
Holy crap thank you! I find that using sound design as a starting off point really helps me be intentional about the mood that I'm setting. I have a harder time doing that purely through composition probably due to some missing knowledge of music theory lol
so much cool stuff in all of these! Standouts for me were imminent doom where I love how naturally the alarm/synth melts into the string section and the drum beat in stargazing which is very pleasing
The syncopated section in the second half is very elegant but also creates an unsteadiness that works very well with your interpretation. I enjoy the way you explore different ideas in a single piece while maintaining a great sense of wholeness
Something about it being presented as an arcade game made me expect something a bit more energetic so I was surprised when I heard this serene atmospheric piece. The melody feels quite playful at times and it gives the whole piece a nice nostalgic feeling. I like it a lot!
Both of these are so well produced. I think the instruments are repurposed so effectively in both songs to create the two opposing tones. It feels very polished and is super fitting for a game
This piece is very pretty, I think that the instruments were chosen well to complement one another while also giving each other space. The composition is effective in creating a mood and setting, very reminiscent of n64 zelda music.
This really sounds like a video game soundtrack. The composition is done so well, it captures a lot of the mood and charm of some classic rpg soundtracks I know and specifically reminds me of playing chrono trigger and ff7.
I really love the sound of those drum hits! The drum hits really sound like bombs being dropped in the sea and various other types of artillery firing. I super love the energy that the compressor pumping gives the drums! Very whooshy and very on theme
These are both so neat! The focus on constantly introducing new sounds and textures had me hooked the whole way through. The industrial section with the deep water gurgling was my absolute favorite and I LOVE that bass. I'm particularly inspired by how confidently you employ silence in your arrangements!
