Bro is so nice, I like the sounds chosen so much, plus the mix itself is great. One of the best subs for sure, verygj.

Wow, this is really good for your first Synth composition! Really solid work here. I loved the reverb and 8 bit vibe you got. White Gardens was awesome and my favorite. Bravo!

Really enjoyed listening to this submission! Especcialy the last track "Respite" tho every single of them are fire.

Love the reverse echo? or whatever the effect you have for the lead synth bells in Respite is, gonna have to remember that for later 😄

All the tracks feels great, and a bit chiptuney with the basic waveish sound to them which I really liked.

The noisy bass sound on Legend of the White Flower could use some filter automation or something to make it a bit more mellow/breathing, since it felt pretty harsh as it was throughout, at least in my opinion.

Really good stuff, especially for a first time synthesis venture!

Legend of the White Flower - really cool atmosphere with lots of space here.  The contrast of the 8-bit-esque lead with the wavetable/physically modeled mallet instrument is cool.  Love when you suddenly drop the wooshy synth for a big textural changeup.

White Gardens - continuing with the atmosphere you created in the first track is great.  It's very cohesive.  The bass is beautiful, and the sudden chromatic harmonic shift caught me off guard in a really good way.  I love those unexpected moments.

Respite - So much space!  Great use of reverb.  This one is giving me Hyper Light Drifter vibes.  The lead is fricken beautiful and has so much texture.   

Beautiful cohesive electronic suite.  The mixing is really good.  This is the second Surge XT entry I've heard and I think I'm sold on it.

Legend of the White Flower - beautiful melody. I would love to know more about why you chose that "lawn mower" type sound.

White Gardens - Very creative chord movement, and I love the repeating pattern throughout. Again, I'd love to know if you had any specific purpose for that pattern, if it represents something, etc. 

Respite - that balance with the reverb and delay is absolutely perfect. I need to learn how to do that.

Interesting chord progressions, I was surprised every single time, I though I knew where it was going but nope another chord I would not have think of at all. Nice play with synths for a first timer. I really like White Gardens and Respite, I would love Respite more only if you would add or change some frequencies, its always very high for a very long period, going back to mid and add some bass or if you don't want bass at least go an octave below after 30 secs it will change the air and make everything more satisfying. Good job :)

Thank you! I agree about Respite; I didn't want to change it since it was an improv but I might do it after the jam
