[Ambient Sketch]

Very soothing, my only complaint is that it sounds muffled, not sure if that was intentional? I was waiting for everything to become clear. But I enjoyed the piece, very relaxing

NotDamare responds:

Thank you! And to be clear yeah the filter is intentional, we had the idea of this playing on a title screen for a friend's school project game, but once you press start on the title screen the filter would be disabled and become clear. However this is from so long ago I couldn't even find the old project file anymore to upload the unfiltered version haha, just this exported stray mp3. I decided to upload it to NG anyway because I just wanted to get some material uploaded. Thanks again for scouting me and checking out my stuff!

[Cockroach Hotel]

The piano is decent, I've used pianoteq before, it's probably one of the best modeled pianos you can get. Though the beats kind of drown out the piano, at least that's what I hear through my speakers.

Czyszy responds:

I'm loving that plugin. It has a very sharp sound in the low end that cuts through the mix.

[expectation]

Overall I like the vibe and instruments used. Not bad! It would sound good with vocals added I'm sure.

baryiscool responds:

And that is way it's free <3

[Jade]

I enjoyed the Asian vibe of the main melody. Reminds me of an artist I used to listen to. nice transition around 1:50. Overall very catchy and I never got bored. You might want to fix the ending though, and smooth it out as it is kind of abrupt

CupOChino responds:

might that artist be Xomu?

[Rott-]

Really enjoyed it after the guitar part. at 1:12 I really like the beat and instrumentals. Good variation throughout, it never gets stale. Keep composing!

BlockGhost responds:

Didn't expect a comment so fast! Appreciate the compliment, thank you very much!

[Time Is A River]

I like this one. nice ambience. the addition of the bass at 0:50 gives it a nice warm feel, like being huddled around a fire in a cave underneath a waterfall. I could see this as a longer piece, especially the way it ends.

SomebodysHero responds:

had a slightly longer version that got cut. you have a good ear

[RusteeMusic + DumtriX - Illuminate]

gets good towards the middle, I like the part at 1:04 the best. when the drums come in towards the end it elevates the piece as well. Overall not bad, keep at it. It would be nice to see this as a longer track

RusteeMusic responds:

I agree - but after all, this was just an experimental piece

[Pixelated Night]

I like the chill, feel good vibes. Could have used a bit more variation, maybe a melody change, but overall nice feel to it

Catsebu responds:

Many thanks for listening! I was thinking the same thing about the variation in the melody, but nothing came to my mind at the time tbh, I just need more practice and creativity. Thanks again for the support :)

[Reflect Alone]

This could be the beginning of something. It has nice ambience, but as a standalone I'd say it's more of a loop than a song.

SomebodysHero responds:

i was going to put it as a loop and youare right. its one of the interludes on an album tho so i couldnt pick!!

[Lifeless]

Could use a bit more variation in the main theme. I liked the quiet breakdowns. Keep at it!

DiamondEnderman responds:

Honestly what I did was an improv on piano and decided to attempt to translate it and it didnt work as planned
