some very nice sounds coming out of that eurorack! track has a great journey and development too.

I like the decision to record it as a live performance and include the video of yourself doing so too!

really like this track!

great choice of instruments, all sits together well really nice and it takes a lot of unexpected turns without ever feeling disjointed or incoherent

really really like the song and your vocals especially are really good, really fits the theme too.

but I would echo what gullo said, in that the lower notes on the piano in particular feel like they're maybe clipping or being pushed too hard into some kind of saturation/distortion that gives it a bit of an unpleasant sound so I'd recommend just being a bit more careful with your volume levels!

still very much enjoy the song though!

I thought initially the recording quality/mix was a bit too rough but once I was a bit further in I decided it actually works really well for the song and sounds good and pretty nice the way it does. 

I really like the more groovy take on hard rock/metal and the little ethereal guitar parts sound really nice.

having another listen, really love the bassline in particular on this one. nailed the beachy vibe and you take the track on a nice journey.

listening again, really love what you've done on this one and this new classical direction you're exploring

very summery!

thank you! will give yours a listen & rate

yeahhh, as I mentioned to a couple other commenters down below I didn't really have as long as I'd have liked to work on this one so was a little undercooked compared to what I'd have ideally done but I just really wanted to try and do something with the theme as it was a very cool one.

thank you for listening and I'm glad you liked what's there, will be sure to listen to and rate your entry!

thank you! will give yours a listen & a rate

Thank you so much, will check out and rate your entry when I get an opportunity!

Thank you, I only had a couple hours to get something done for this so I would have liked to develop it a bit more but didn't really have time, though I probably wouldn't have added much more as I wanted to try something very minimal.

Did really wanna try and get something done though as the theme is very interesting.

And yeah I took the waveform of a few bars of one of the instruments and tiled it for the artwork, was just something I could do quickly but I like how it turned out.

Will listen and rate your entry when I get a chance.

thank you, I only had a couple hours to work on this so it was a bit less fleshed out than I was hoping, but I did want it to be quite minimal and found the theme very interesting so really wanted to try getting something done for it.

Will give your entry a listen and a rate when I get a moment

thank you for listening and glad you enjoyed!

yeah I didn't really consider the story as something worth focusing on but after seeing the effort others put in it definitely felt it would have been worthwhile!

thank you!

no problem! :)

thank you v much for listening and especially thank you for the feedback! will definitely pay attention to that in future.

glad you enjoyed :)

oh wow, that sounds very stressful! 

i'm glad you still managed to turn out something good despite all your technical issues, I can't say I noticed it having any kind of negative effect! sounded great to me on my big speakers.

thank you so much!

Flute melody on that first track is fantastic!

Really like the way you've created a distinctly different two halves of the soundtrack to show the difference in locations but kept it all feeling like one soundtrack.

Great use of the drum break and nicely chopped. Drums throughout have a really nice bounce and groove to them.

Some very nice chord progressions, basslines and melodies throughout also.

thank you v much :)

The artwork you used for this instantly caught my eye and had me intrigued.

Main Menu track feels very appropriate and very nicely put together.

Hiding and Pursuit has exactly the right threatening and menacing atmosphere, very Silent Hill but not too much of a pastiche. 

As I've said on another survival horror entry, a key element to survival horror is a good save room track and you definitely didn't disappoint with yours, very nice calming instruments with a hint of menace from the noise underneath.

Becoming yourself really nails that emotional moment of adversity towards the end feeling.

The final two tracks also really capture that feeling of love and release from torment perfectly.

All in all great work throughout, good use of noise & ambience and synthetic & orchestral instruments to create just the right vibe throughout, as well as some very nice musical ideas, melodies and harmony.

Very nice trio of tracks! Very well done for getting them done in such a short space of time.

Can definitely hear both the ocean and especially the east asian influence very strongly, reminded me of quite a few soundtracks from japanese games (or those very inspired by japanese games) from the early 00s up to now.

Would agree with what others have said about URGENT MISSION being considerably louder than the other two as I'm sure you're now aware. But I did also really like the approach you took with it, feels very dramatic and tense whilst also being very elegant and gliding.

Both the other tracks were very good too though.

thank you so much!!

Really nice sounds throughout and completely nailed the theme.

Can really hear the influence from Joe Hisaishi & the indie games you mentioned but doesn't feel you borrowed from them too heavily.

Some very nice sound design throughout.

Really great pair of tracks!!

Great use of orchestral sounds in both but also great creative bending and manipulation of them into new sounds and  textures, also really like the heavy use of vocal sounds.

The first track has a great dreamy feel whilst also feeling very sinister and uneasy.

 Second track is brilliantly dramatic! Love the intensity and all of the creative processing to elevate it.

Really like the flutes/woodwind on this, as well as the smooth movements through subtle changes in mood in each track. 

A real nice balance throughout between the innocent and child-like feelings and the underlying sense of tragedy or sorrow. Which fits the narrative you've described perfectly.

My World Is Shifting was probably my favourite, really liked the use of traditional eastern instruments!

Really got that snes-era sound!

Some beautiful melodies, motifs & harmony. Great sound selection/design.

Very cold and wintery music, full of emotion.

Some nice composition with good use of the orchestra & instruments. Very nicely mixed too. Especially like the use of strings & mallet instruments.

some absolutely beautiful music here throughout, love the sound design/selection, percussion, melodies and everything to be honest!

completely fits both the theme and the kind of game you've described, each track is also perfect for its title.

can really hear your influences shining through nicely too whilst still retaining your own musical identity. 

good job with the mix on all the tracks also.

impossible to pick a favourite!

really like this, some great sound design, in a quite a few places you've got sounds that evoke that early vgm/chiptune aesthetic but with a really nice extra layer of modern depth and richness that makes them really satisfying to listen to.

you've also got a good variety of different sound palettes here between tracks whilst still retaining a feeling of coherency.

you've managed to get a really nice full and dense sound throughout without ever using so many different elements that it ever feels cluttered or overly busy, in fact quite minimal in a lot of places. 

some very nice attention to the extra details with all of the sweeps and FX that often take a very centre stage role without being distracting or feeling in the way of the more melodic elements.

I think the first track is probably my favourite, the way you build upon that very simple piano and synth part about half way through just sounded really good, not to say I didn't really enjoy the rest either.

thank you :)

tysm!!

thank you so much for such a detailed write up!

the clock ticking in the first track is actually the same one from CT, I just re-pitched it to give it more of a "tick-tock" feel than it has in the original track.

i'm really happy to hear you liked everything so much! :)

ahhh you're one of the few whose known where I took my name from! 

thank you v much for the track by track feedback :)

thank you!!

thank you v much! :)

thank you :)

tyvm!

No problem!
