[Taken | Voice Of The Fallen]

Love the brightness in this track. Damn some things to learn here. Great work!

[defrost]

Very pink floyd-ish harmonies. I enjoyed that! Cool things happening :57 maybe add to the instrumentation/orchestration to give emphasis to these counterlines. Cool droop at 1:40 into the muffled sound. I like where this is heading. Not in love with the chromatic line at 2:12 kinda sounds outta place to me. Good comp and nice pads/chord prog.

[Ode to the Final Corpses - VGMC 2024]

Nice sound design! Love the build and strings (choir?) synth melody in the highs at 1:40ish. Also cool drums and really interesting harmonies toward the end.. enjoyed that bit. I gotta admit some of the rhythms in the intense middle section were throwing me off but it still works(edit: looking back the brief you got I can see how these rhythms might really work in a game involving a maze that is cool). Appreciate you listing the gear you used. Overall I enjoyed it.

[The Rebels' Briefing | Turning The Tides Of War]

That's a sick build! Could def hear this in a video game at a moment of high intensity or anxiety something along those lines. For my musical taste I would have liked more harmonic motion and motivic-ness but I come from a classical background and understand this maybe isn't what you would even want for a track like this. Nice timbres and rhythmic drive!

[Creepy Camptown Races]

I dig it! Sounds like some crazy old and out of tune organ on a Ferris Wheel is playing it at an abandoned circus. I like quoting old folk songs in my pieces as well. I quoted ''My Country, 'Tis of Thee'' and harmonized it as a 4 note semitone cluster in the violins towards the end of my piece 'American Pyshcosis'

Nice job and great creativity!!

[La Lalala Laaaa (loop)]

I don't ever remember writing this... lol was this a part of Larrys space jounery or something?
