real! very glad i got to hear so many fantastic compositions, that’s been the best part of this for me. such a friendly community too :] i’m not particularly pressed either way, if our team gets into the top 20, that’s great! if not, that’s okay too, there’s always next time. :D will be checking out your entry!
Meant to comment on your submission ages ago, but JUST got around to writing this up! But!! Really good work, well-written & well-mixed. Love how well the electronic elements blend with the acoustic ones, both on a compositional level and a production one, it’s hard to pick a favorite track between the two. Again, excellent job! :)
It’s certainly experimental! In the best way!
The opening piece feels like multiple pieces in a way. It’s regal and aggressive at the same time, capturing that vibe quite well.
The synth riffs over the harpsichord were interesting, especially with how often they’d he a little off from another in sound. Sick chord progressions though. It absolutely does get that 80/90s feel down.
Guessing this is a battle tune. Interesting choice to have the aggressive parts come in and out, it creates a really interesting parallel between softer sounds and extremely aggressive riffing.
Love the synths in this, they’re a little unpredictable and the chords don’t often resolve where the listener would expect them to. It still rises so well which is great.
A boss theme? Just as chaotic as one would expect it to be. Fantastic.
Another boss theme! Yesss this one is also fun!
Listened to the rest of the soundtrack and think it is great! Lots of unusual sounds that I would love to hear more in video games. Very jazzy, very excellent body of work. Lots of variety that I could hear being in the cutscenes of the games as opposed to the main background music that would be playing. Love your chords, by the way.
This is such a well-composed track! I don’t have much to add that other folks haven’t already said, but the pacing is on point, the ideas all work fantastically together, and it’s got a very natural and pleasant progression to listen to. Some of the mixing can get a little spotty but it’s such a small issue that doesn’t really shake my impression of this piece. Fantastic work. :D
