[Spine Breaker]

could use some more compression, saturation, eq, whatever to make it thiccer, but i really like the sound design and vibes

[At Home]

really like that little fifths lead in the background, your use of retro sounds is really cool

[Alien Invasion (16122021)]

interesting song, though it is a bit slow and calm for my taste. the sounds and patterns are cool, though it does all feel a bit empty, like it needs a pad or something. good work though!

[Cattyx - Kyara]

holy crap, this has a fuckton of energy and i love it! nothing to say really, it is indeed perfect

[Back Around]

really love how punchy the drums are, the vocals and pretty much everything else are mixed very well. the song is great compositionally too!

[Cave Siren]

writing this down as i'm listening

the watery sounds in the beginning are nice, and i like how you introduce the drums. that bitcrushed synth is really pretty, and i also like the little hoover sound in the buildup. oh, a pwm synth in the drop! i love those! the piano solo is pretty and all the little sounds are pretty too. i like how you brought that synth back in. the way you've made a variation on that theme is cool, and the way you made the synth trail off at the beginning of the second buildup is great too. I do feel like the second drop could have used a crash cymbal or something at the start, but that's minor. personally i like the synth in the second drop less, i kind of wish you would have brought back that pwm synth. the ending chords are very beautiful! i personally would have put a second piano solo at the end with more sparse notes, just to give it a nice flair.

sorry if these thoughts are a bit disorganized. overall, i really liked this piece and i hope it gets more attention! keep it up!

Ziondiac responds:

Thanks for the feedback and vote

[S?: Under the Backyard Bonsai]

those synths resembling bird chirps are brilliant, i love the bitcrushedness of this too

[Oneironauts]

really dreamy as the description would suggest, the synths and drums are full but not overbearing, and the effects are really nice!

GreyHooves responds:

Thank you! Mixing isn't really my strong point so I'm glad it turned out alright :D

[No More Motivation]

i feel you, i used to be like that too. if i may offer some advice, you just have to consistently take antidepressants and find what you love to do. whether that's music or something else should be up to you

[Drops]

really like the classic breaks here, the melodies are nice too
