How does your song embody the theme "fight or flight"?
I tried to make the listener experience a fight or flight response by using harsh sounds and weird rhythms.

duuuuude I love the panning on this
So nice to hear that 😄
Yeah I did some pretty bold hard panning. Especially the beginning part is quite trippy with that 🥴
Really unique and creative entry. I enjoyed the robot voice, it was a nice chaotic touch to an already insane (in a good way) piece. Outro killed my ears but also really tied the piece back together.
I appreciate your kind words! 😄
yeah I agree the outro is cool (It's ringmod and distortion on the master track) but still should have probably automated the volume lower to save the ears a bit. 🤔 (even if it works with the intent/concept of the song)
yoooo this one is sooooo creative i think the vocals differentiate this song in a good way. The outro distortion jump scared me a bit other than that this was awesome.
Thanks a bunch! 😁
A lot of interesting stuff was done here, especially with the instrumental of the song, and I feel it was accomplishing the goal, your description said you had with it, but once the vocal part came in, it kind of took me out of it. So in my personal opinion, I feel this song would’ve embodied its theme more if it was just the instrumental.
That's a fair point and well articulated!
I guess the main "robot" singing part is tonally a lot let harsh even if the rhythm is still weird.
Thanks a lot for the comment!
the time signature threw me off (in a good way). impressive work overall
Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed my odd time shenanigans 😁
why did you have to do my ears like that man :c
so you would feel a fight or flight response :DD
(sry if it actually hurt your ears, in hindsight I should have either turned the ending down or put a warning for it xdd)
love the chaotic nature of this track! Very dream theater, perfectly fits the theme
Thanks for listening!
Been actually practicing some dream theater solos lately
Love the rhythms at play!
in my eyes, must survive hits so hard
I love "weird" music so much
Yeah the rhythms def went a bit crazy. Gotta love the prog shit.
Glad you liked the vocals😁 It's my least confident part of it for sure.
loved the sound design in this!!
Thanks! I started with just recording random (harsh) samples since I had no inspiration for the song.
Seems it was worth it 😁
if dream theater brought in dat one bro from utdr thats like "YOUR [sic] TAKING TOO LONG" idk 😅
pretty cewl stuffs i had to listen to it more than once admittedly lol must be like stimulating to me or somethin 💃
Thanks, yeah ain't dream theater got nothing on my prog shitposts
I really enjoyed the repetition and the distorted lyrics.
Thanks!
