Thank you!

This turned out great!

Thank you very much!! Glad you liked it :)

Mix is a little muddy on my speakers but very cool bit of music none the less. Kinda has an ambient progressive feel to it almost. Would love to hear a full length version of this.

I really like the time signature. I think it works really well. I like the sound palettes. Mix is decent. Your melodic choices are interesting. They manage to give an odd and much desired cyclical resolve to the angular tonal tensions. It's fascinating how your ears adjust to the microtonal structure the longer you listen. At first it's very sour but if you stick with it, you start finding these sweet bits that float in and out. Very interesting piece. Definitely not for everyone but I enjoyed it. Nice to see people experimenting outside the box. We need more of that kind of thing these days.

Wow, thank you so much.. This is the first in-depth review I've ever gotten!

I'm really glad that this song is to your liking! I promise to come up with some more songs in the future as well, hope you'll enjoy those even more! :)

I don't think I'm familiar with the original but this is nice. <:3

Thank you very much!

Could have gone for a little more mix up with the beats. I REALLY like your supporting pads. Very nice palettes. I dig the chord choices too. Mix is a little bright but I like it. : )

Very much could have done a change on the beats, but I kind of was still testing the waters here

I like that bass line. Mate that guitar sound/atmosphere is amazing. Straight up dreamland. Not a fan of the horns but that's just me. They are used well though and sit very comfortably in the mix, so I can't complain. Wow. Short but sweet. No critique comes to mind. Very nice indeed. <:3

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you bro!

That bass is actually the same Telecaster that is used for all guitar parts. My Tele' has an S1 switch that can flip the phase of the neck and bridge pickups and helps create meaty bass tones as well as focused mids and thinned trebles. But I will add a proper bass.

Glad it's atmospheric :)

I love horns, I will use them incessantly ha. I've noticed that you generally don't like horns in anything I post lol. Embrace the horn!

thanks again :)

Love it. Wonderful melodies. Nice choice of instruments.

GlaceonDash responds:

Very thanks! I tried to make it have a somewhat clear motif throughout as if it was for a video game and that motif was playing throughout the whole region of the map you were in.

Unfortunately I don't think I got the motif across that well but eh, it's already out

Hey front page! You deserve it. <:3

Very nice sound image with the synth. Mix is good. My only complaint is it has a sharpness in the area round 2350Hz. Very smooth recordings. Well balanced melodies. Melancholy but not too dark. Front page! Very cool. Nice to see you posting again. : )

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you bro! Appreciate it :)

This feels so rough to me, but I really like that rawness.

No synths bro, there's the rhythm, bass, the single note pick and a reversed, mangled harmonic guitar :)

Just string section and horn section via kontakt, harmonized and octave shifted.

Needs that 'extra', hoping vocals push it over the threshold :)

thanks again
