[The Dream of a Robot]

Nice

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks

[AIM - Light Enduring]

I love it! The chord progression has a reminiscent and hopeful vibe for me, and it put me in a good mood :) the track is beautiful.

Phonometrologist responds:

Hey Blue, thanks for stopping by again. I get what you mean by reminiscent and hopeful as this piece was starting to sound a bit nostalgic for me while it was being sculpted.

[Whispers of Remembrance]

I was hoping someone would submit a song of such a style, and I'm not disappointed. This is currently my favorite submission. The track has a majestic, adventurous videogame vibe, and it resembles the art work very well. The instruments aren't of utmost quality, but it's not a shortcoming here; it makes the song sound more like a nostalgic video game track.

ChronoNomad responds:

Happy to be of service, BlueOceans! I AIM to please (pun intended). High praise, indeed. Every instrument in the track is from the original VSCO Sample Library, which seemed like a solid fit for the nature of the track, and is uniquely appropriate since a copy of the VSCO 2 Orchestral Sample Library is one of the prizes. Plus, I love that video game-like nostalgia!

Now that I've finished my own track, I'm looking forward to exploring the others on offer. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon!

[Penderecki's Dream]

Although I'd agree that this piece isn't likely to win, it's one of my favorite submissions so far. I have a high level of neuroticism, so I can really relate to the extreme emotions this track evokes. This will definitely be one of those tracks that I'll listen to periodically over the course of many years.

Phonometrologist responds:

Well I hope this doesn’t contribute to the neuroticism, but rather it being a theraputic one. Thank you for the comments.

[Cage of Memories]

This is one of my favorite tracks of yours! It's so lively and powerful. Some parts also evoke a haunting vibe. Everything sounds so professional, and the depth of the track is incredible. The are many different aspects of the track that I can focus on at any given point.

zybor responds:

but im not professional :C, thanks for the compliment tho.

thank you for your review :)

[What Problems [LD38]]

I found this to be catchy even before it looped once! It sounds somewhat like a theme from a Zelda game, but Zelda songs don't have pianos with pitch bends. I wonder if you copied and pasted the violin midi into the piano channel. It sounds like a hybrid of a keyboard piano and guitar. I really enjoy it!

johnfn responds:

Hahahhaha yeah you got me. What can I say I was busy with the rest of my game :D

I find pitchbending piano to be hilarious because it's so impossible to do in real life. Unless you open up the piano and pull the strings i guess.

[Who If Not You - Now If Not When]

This is a spectacular track!
I love the percussion; it has a lot of depth and detail!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review, BlueOceans!

[Deep Blue]

The pads and vocals are a beautiful combination! I love the ambience that serves to further establish the setting.

etherealwinds responds:

Thank you very much BlueOceans! :)

[Battle on the Bitmaker]

I'm very glad you've returned! I love this track and I look forward to hearing more from you. Despite your relative inactivity, I was still greatly inspired by your work, particularly "Becoming Independent".

[Distorted Sakura]

I was listening to some of my old favorites and I found this, the song that made me want to follow you. I'm surprised I didn't review it yet considering how many times I listened to it in the past.

I adore the sound design and the main melody. In fact, I still had the melody memorized after all these years!
