Thank you for your feedback :)
I did not notice the harshness until recently, and yes it was small, unfortunately due to a bug in Linux, I found it weird and tried to solve it, no luck.. had open the project in windows and just export it from there, but well at least it was litteraly just opening it in windows without messing around any other settings or router matrix :D
The duality was an interesting take on the theme, it has some oriental feel and all but I don't really think it nailed the theme.
Composition is not bad, got some good drum beats there and the harmonies are still on spot, the melodies, I have mixed feelings about them, don't know, seem lack "feeling" to patternized
Mixwise, everything is loud I think the instrument spacing should be improved as the instrumens timbres, ofc depending on what sound you were expecting to get out of it
Hope the feedback is useful, take care :3
Spectacular job! Very cinematic indeed!
At first I felt the last song a bit misplaced, but it was so grandious I had to give it another go and with the description I see it working! I did love the choirs and that they worked almost as a bridge for all the songs, but did sometimes feel that they played too much, what I mean is that their lack of presence in some parts would increase their impact on the part ahead, like in clash of the waterfall
Take care :)
I really like the piano melody and the harmony and texture movements!
I think the mix could get some cleaning done, although that might be what gave it that pyshcadelic vibe, so maybe don't? :D
The only thing I felt a bit short was the take on the theme, it was good don't take me wrong, but I felt it need a bit more overwhemingness, in other terms, I felt aI was near a river, not a great water fall
Continue the great work, take care :3
I think mix and composition are good on a technical level, but I had to cut a bit on the listenability as I felt lost sometimes, having to hear more than once to try and grasp why somethings were so pleaseant, like the 50sec passage, but then stuff like the extreme loud reversed voices that just seemsd out of place and detracted from something that I was enjoying.
Don't take me wrong , it's a very interesting submission, gave you an extra on creativity(which was the main goal of the jam), but I barely felt the theme, you grasped some oriental harmonies but I wouldn't classify that was a correlation to the theme, than again could just be me having a hard time interpeting it.
take care :)
Hey man you delivered something creative, it's well composed but I think the mix could use some deep dive in, for example I know you went for the galactic vocals and all, but some times it get inconspicuous.
I couldn't find much relation with the theme, but the songs are good overall :)
keep on grinding and take care!
Lovely song, top composition and arrangement :)
Regarding the mix, I like it overall, its balanced, but there is one thing that bugs me.
In the start of the song you have your instruments very controlled, honestly they would pass as a human recording ez, but by the end you can hear they are midi / vstish, I'm curious on what happened there :S
Take care!
Certainly :)
From what I took from your interpretation, the last song would be a grand finale boss which you overcome, and I never felt that.
The final harmony is of accomplishment, all good, but I never got that feeling of "grandeur" / victory, it was more like a level mid way, which could be what you were going for just fine, but the piece before is so tense and "heavy" I felt the last song would be asking for something else, something "more", more threat maybe, felt a bit underwhelming.
As I said it probably is my favorite, honestly I think it would stand out more as a standalone it has a lot to offer already in itself, with the other tracks there I'm expecting some continuity, even if different styles, the narrative should be present and I feel it was not quite there.
Hope this feedback is helpful, take care :3
Great track, some very interesting harmonies and timbres and I honestly was a bit taken by surprising on that ending, lovely
I also think it fits the theme extremely well, but what I gotta give the shout out is the mix man, its not a musician mix, its more a producer level one!
On the top 3 mixes I've heard in the jam so far for sure :)
Great job, take care!
Good track man! I think it needs a bit movement & "unpredictability", felt it was kinda linear at a point, I mean the artwork does give nature a lot of emphasis it would be great to have that transposed in the song.
Spite what I said before, composition is till good in my opinion, the mixing could use some work, it sounds to artificial, unless that was what you were going for.
Take care :)
Amazing tracks, mostly the Far Reaches, really loved it!
Composition is great and the mixing too, but sometimes you can feel the VSTish a bit, not in all tracks though, for example in the road not taken, really love the melody but I think the sound of it did take a bit from the experience :| Still great tho xD
Take care!
Lovely track, one of new my favs :)
Fell in love with the flute melodies, and that passage on the 3min mark just after that Triumvirat lick was really something!
Think you had pretty much the theme there and the mixing was pretty solid, something bugged me about the pianos, I'm not sure if just uncontrolled frequencies or "too many fingers"
Take care
You certainly had some interesting passages and counter melodies, it feels a bit robotic at times but you did say in the description that you were going for Alienish stuff so I guess it was the idea.
The mixing needs some work, was this made on an iPad Garage Band? If so I would advise you to click on join (mine is portuguese so not sure if the correct option) on a single track to turn it to wav :)
Take care!
Edge of memory is a hell of track man! Love it, that bassline is just fingerlicking good!
I honestly felt The long dark to be a bit misplaced, but its a good track in itself :)
Mixing was on point for the most part, and being so different one from the other thats something to be happy for, just a lil detail, some sounds were a bit to piercy on the ear.
Take care :)
Thank you so much for thaking the time to write your feedback, those words mean the world to me! :3
Did you listen to the BandCamp one? Still found it too quiet?
I totally agree on the mix feedback, I liked the the instrument placement overall but I think I should had gone wider and not repress the lows so much (which is clearly an overcompensation, as a bass player I tend to exagerate on the lows, mostly when recording stuff for the band xD)
Take care!
Really enjoyed listening to this, the most retro gaming submission so far :)
Lost in the sauce is very good! That change going to the songs finale is just pure "sauce"! xD
I just to say one thing, I feel that Found in the Sauce is unfinished, it feels imcomplete idk.. and I say this because I liked it a lot and would be curious to see you revisit it :)
PS: GIF's awesome!
Dude that flute melody really hit me! I think the mix was prettu good but there was something there that was messing with me, I'm not sure what, maybe a bit of clickyness?
Well, anyway, I really liked the submission overall, I just didn't really feel the theme of the artwork(jam post) in it, but I do feel the RPG vibes so much! Take care!
I'm giving you a plus on the creativity side for the comedic approach, but not at all what I was expecting for the jam, Im evaluating a lot based on the image and what it represents, with your approach there is nothing tangeable besides being the far reach, I think you could still take the comedic approach but more focused on what the painting has to say :)
