[Blue Hour]

Groovy! :)

[Reformat & Erase]

Good glob, man, the drum slicing! The pianos and atmospheres! Breakcore gloriousness!!

IS THIS 190 BPM??? Daaaamn.

cthrn responds:

It changes BPM mid track!
From 0:00:000 to 1:20:000 - it's 198
From 1:20:00 to 2:28:571 - it's 175
Then the rest of the track is 198 again

[Splattered Steele - Blazing Flame (Theme of Kaen Kitsune)]

I like how you added those different synths throughout the theme; it gave it a really cool vibe. That little EQ fade-in at 1:20-ish was neat, and those breaks were nifty, with the reversed-sounding cymbals, though they sounded just barely a hair off time, but it's probably the gate you have on them. XD When the kicks come in, they sound like they should be a bit louder, and as you bring them in and fade them out, maybe add a little roll or cymbal swell to lead up/transition to them, and add a little impact noise at the end, where the kick stop; that would really make that last synth part pop. This is definitely a shining, great theme for a main protagonist. :)

TurbonicZ responds:

yo thanks bro!

[TurbonicZ - Warm Coffee at Midnight]

I dig the slow movement in it. The mellow synth is nice and chill. As one person mentioned below, perhaps adding a couple little melodic fills here and there, and it will add a little extra zest to it. I'm not really familiar with Lo-Fi, but I definitely appreciate this. Check out Adam Neely on YouTube...he has some great stuff on making Lo-Fi, and his microtonal synth stuff makes those dreamy chords come alive. Use it as more inspiration to keep composing more of this! :)

[Splattered Steele - Fresh Metal (Theme of Steele Rebyc)]

Cowboy Bebop would be jealous!

[Splattered Steele - Main Theme]

Holy crap, this is mad! 180 bpm?! XD Make this longer! I'm waiting for the crazed beats to kick in!

[ElectroKill]

I can appreciate the extensive time it takes to slice up and create beats like this! Those Electro tones were spot-on...almost like a Minimalist-esque sound, which gave the new parts coming in, a chance to meld and interact with the other rhythms. A question though: was this in 3/4 time? Some parts seem Waltz-like, superimposed over 4/4, creating quite a polyrhythm!

aidannibbles responds:

Thanks. This was an old work

[Journey]

Nicely Liquid indeed! Those middle breakdown's synths are lush! The only little bit of constructive feedback I can offer, is perhaps break up periods between the repeating melody/chords, so that when you bring them in again, it builds and has more peaks and valleys. Other than that small thing, this is a peaceful, hopeful tune! :)

[Breakout DB]

I can attest to the painstaking work and time it takes to slice up beats just so they're perfect to your ear, and arrange the synths and tweak the sounds...! Very cool, man! If I may offer a tiny bit of constructive criticism? The only snippet that confused me was 1:00-1:10, where you combined the really fast Venetian Snares-type beat with your mellower one, it was just a hair messy, though you straightened it out with that neat echo effect. That VS beat part is really good, and you could've even had it as a stand-alone section in itself! Please lengthen this, as I would love a full-length tune! Many props to you, for producing and composing quite a twisty, groovy song!

[][ Coming Home ][ (Teaser)]

Holy crap...this is trippy and fierce as hell... :O
