[Something...]

Ambience

I would move this to the ambiance category since it has a real ambient feel to it. Makes me think of Unsolved Mysteries since it sounds like music they would play. Has a pretty dark feel to it as well. Kind of makes you feel sad, lonely, and at a loss of words.

The keyboard sounds pretty dark and sad as well. The drums are very simplistic as well, nothing great or surprising at all. This tune sounds a bit lighter towards the end though. Makes me feel at a loss though for some reason. The bass and slight guitar sounds also sound pretty cool.

Overall, good job on this piece, keep making more good pieces.

WizMystery responds:

Well it might not be so ambient when completed. I'm thinking of ways to layer this properly (the end has a much more complete sound than the rest of the track). The loneliness in the first half and the dark monotony in the second will still be there, though.

The drums... I really wanted to force myself to make them complex like I normally do, but no matter what I did in the first half they would always become too loud and take over the entire passage. A simple 4/4 rhythm was all I could manage, but the second half is full of those good odd time signatures n stuff so the drums can get a little louder.

Thanks for the review!

[Into The Eclipse]

Strange feeling

Up until 0:32 I just feel like I am on a train alone going nowhere. Then the soft dark feeling starts coming and makes me feel like I am playing Resident Evil, Half Life, or Doom and I see bodies everywhere as things feed on them. I get off the train and pick up the nearest weapons which for me is a baseball bat and a small handgun.

I make my way to the nearest safe place I can which would probably be a small house and get on the roof connecting the rooftops. I sit there for days trying to figure out what to do next as they take over the city.

The slight breathing sounds I hear make me think of Giygas though.

As I continue sitting there I figure there's nothing left to do but pack up and roam the states alone trying to survive. Eating what food is left in stores and trying to keep away from the zombies and other infected creatures.

I soon stumble into a large police station that seems abandoned. I pick up what weapons I can and barricade myself in for a few more days trying to get ready to move again.

Overall, a very dark and hopeless feeling song. Very nice and brilliant work on this, looking forward to some more in the future.

Thanks for the imagery comments! I do hope to compose music for game one of these days, and I really think it would be a fun thing to do. :)

[Dat Beeshbawl (Dubstep)]

Weird

The intro was kind of unfitting. What anime/show did that come from anyways? The beat makes me feel really awkward for some reason as well. The drums and synth sounded pretty good though. What was with that twang sound though? The other wet sound I hear is kind of odd as well. Very good but weird.

The song kind of makes me feel like I am defending a meatball on my plate of spaghetti. I don't know why I am trying so hard to defend it though since I am sure I have more hidden in the spaghetti. Very odd song.

Overall, kind of quirky, odd, and funny at the same time though. Nice job I guess. O_o

RetromanOMG responds:

The source video is this old Russian cartoon that was dubbed into English horribly.

Anyway, I'm shocked that this song actually put you into a situation of any description, because I can't say I feel the same way. I just overall don't get the same feel from this song as I do from some of my others.

Still, I guess for a weird Dubstep song, I did alright.

[.:Vesoul:.]

Fun sounding

Kind of makes me think of those Victorian era anime movies and series. Has a real uptight and fun feel to it as well, really jazzy and fun. The accordion makes it sound very nice though. Haven't heard a song with one in it in a while either so that's just splendid I guess.

Kind of makes me feel a bit rushed but I was having fun in a city where there is a lot of water canals and people with Pokemon and that likes just enjoying the day. Song just makes you feel really good though, very cool I think.

The drums are great. Really loved the accordion breakdown though since it was nice sounding.

Overall, good piece of work, looking forward to more.

[Kindle]

Sounds alright

Sounds alright for a dance song but not very different from most others since it seems to hold the same beat style as well. Could spruce it up a bit by making it longer and adding in a few more unique sounds. Could also have it start by using the low filter pass effect on it as well so it has cooler sound to it.

This song sounds pretty good though for your first attempt at a dance song though so very nicely done work with this.

chmedic responds:

Thanks. I'll try using some different sounds.

[.007 INFINITY]

Strange

has a bizarre twisting feeling to it. The explosions sound kind of like a sound I can make with my mouth and the main tune really gives me some nostagilia like I was playing Legend of Zelda all over again in one of the weird temples, preferably the Dark Temple where it was all strange and you had to have a special magnifying glass to tell what was going on.

The sounds and keyboard sound very nice though actually, the drums sound cool and the DJ spin added to the drums is cool as well. Very nicely worked here, still nostalgic and yet very bizarre as well.

Overall, very nice and strange piece of work here.

INFINITYMUSICPROJECT responds:

Hmm.. If I were to take of the drums and make more minimal drums it would be a perfect song for a dungeon or temple. Awesome thank you! <3

[=Ban On Mondays=]

Garfield

He always hated Mondays but I really like this song. Sounds very good as well to me. The fast pace is pretty cool. Would really love to see this used in a fast paced side scrolling game too. The drums sound rapid and amazing. The synth sounds cheesy and funny and the bass sounds really fast and rapid which is pretty cool anyways.

Kind of makes me feel like I have to go really fast to get somewhere as well too. Really good and fast paced tuen though, really cool.

Overall, you did a really good job on this piece, nice work.

Hades responds:

Yeah, the Garfield bit - that came to me only after I wrote this one! But I agree with him, Mondays really are the bottom of the food chain when it comes to days of the week. ;)

The synths were meant to be kinda cheesy to emphasize the silliness, and I have to admit I'm pleased with how they came out! :) Thanks a lot for taking the time to review!

[Infinity Starfish]

Pretty chill

This has a very rapid speed feeling to it but also very calming with the bell and chimes that play along as well. The techno drumming is pretty sweet and the synth sound is relaxing as well. I like how it goes too.

The overall flow is very pleasing as well since it plays fast, slows down, and makes you feel calmer like you had just escaped a city ridden with zombies everywhere and an organization hunting you down so you don't spill secrets.

I would have to say this song is pretty good. Very nice job.

KrrMaim responds:

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[Earn Your Wings]

Great

Sounds really nice actually. Like all the sounds I am hearing as well. Kind of makes me feel as if I was in space trying to escape the station at the last moment as well. The deep bass and keyboard sound excellent as well. Like the drum build ups as well. Excellent piece of work anyways. Liked this a lot. Good job.

ZachPayne responds:

Glad you enjoyed :3

[Kittens With Porn]

Strange

You have a box of porn for me? What kind? :D The sound of this is pretty cool too. Really digging the heavy bass drums and clap sounds. The synth sound that constantly repeats is also cool. However you could have added a few more lines here and there like you starting to look at the porn and other such.

The overall flow is really nice too. What kind of porn you got for me?

EiG responds:

Yes its all grotesque audio porn like this :P but Cool thanks for the feedback
