This is dope. Quirky, fun and soothing at the same time. Good shit, man. :D
Thanks a lot!

This is new. Could have been better, but I like it nonetheless:

Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

I've had a crack at doing a remake/remix of I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Please be kind, it's my first stab at something like this! :)

This should definitely be in a videogame's underwater level, or at least a level involving water in some way. It would fit the bill perfectly. I can't explain it in great detail, but that's exactly where my mind went when I heard it. Which is a big compliment because in most games the water levels have the best music, IMO.

V Tines Less - This one is my favorite of the three. That bass line synth is brilliantly textured. Even though the bass line itself was only made up of 4 notes repeating, I could've listened to it for even longer without losing interest. Although to me, well done lower pitch textures are better than breathing. But those types of textures can be ruined if they're not stretched out enough, which makes it really hard to make the bass line more notes within a full rotation. So 4 long notes was a solid choice here. The other elements compliment the bass and each other quite nicely too. Nice and simple percussion, but not too simple as it picks up more complexity at about half way.

Lost Within - Sounds like if Autechre and Nobuo Uematsu made a soundtrack to a videogame together. Both artists I love. Great work on this one. That choir synth voice with the fancy effects is awesome! Is that even based on a choir synth setting? That's the closest I can guess, but it sounds amazing.

Metropo - This had to have been mostly inspired by Autechre. Great song, regardless! Hints of late 90s psy-trance in there too. The synth voices seem like they belong in Infected Mushroom's music around the release of their album "B P Empire", or Simon Posford's styled synth voices from that same time. The synth voice evolving throughout the song was done well too.

Just finished this one this morning.



Got my girlfriend in on it with some choral vocals.

Lemme know what you're feeling (the collective you, I'm not singling anyone out).

Really love the synth and the drums. I would have liked to hear the bell sounds by themselves as the intro, and then drop in the synths. Either way is subjective I guess. that kick is wonderfully crunchy. I feel like this track could go places, get bigger/wider with more layers or have the drum pattern played with some more. Cool stuff, dude!

I think I'm definitely leaning towards the harmonized vocals here. The combination is really great, though I really appreciate how clean you've left your own voice. I feel like it couldve been really easy to drown it out with reverb which always kinda turns me off from a recording. Have you heard of a group called winter flowers? They're on Attacknine Records, and they've got a really great similar chemistry with their voices.
Also, I liked the outro. The guitar got a bit buzz-y here and there, but otherwise it kinda helps strengthen how free your composition is. You've got a new follower!

Finished a presentable version a couple of days ago, it's an ambient vaporwave but I feel like it's still missing something.



First time without the use of samples so that was a fun experience.

I liked this a lot, I don't think it needed any more layers. I do think it could benefit from exploring some more mastering options - Maybe see what is sounds like really compressed, really crisp, idk. I think what it's coming from is that vaporwave gets a lot of it's magic from being naturally aged and overprocessed, and the sounds you have here seem pretty pure. At least that's what I get from an initial listen
