woah! this is a very fun EP to go through <3

This album was quite the fun ride!

I wish Kasane Teto's voice was louder in general when it comes to the tracks, but otherwise, the quality has been consistent and fun and I quite enjoyed listening to these compositions!

I liked the direction you took with these compositions, particularly with the second half where you integrate your singing voice into it. I haven't heard much submissions at all where the person making the tracks is singing on it as well so kudos!

That being said, I feel like the quality of the compositions in the first half is held back by what fits with the second half of the compositions and that's the feel of the recording quality. It feels like the space of the compositions in the first half was working against those tracks as I feel like it's way too distant and tinny (Herbalist in particular has some very piercing resonances, and Sequitur feels too distant to sound grandiose). I think the recording quality works for the second half of the tracks (where it leans into the very indie/acoustic vibe) but not the first half.

Otherwise, great work on this :D

Thank you for the kind words! <3

Aside from the second track feeling a bit disconnected from the other tracks (a bit too uplifting for the name "Cold Case"), I'd say that the work you put into this is solid! I like the art you have for this project too

Woah! I love the way that this is glued together and how immersive the track is with the different textures and ambience to really sell us on the atmosphere of the place that you've created! Solid work ❤️

This track definitely does give off a boss track vibe and it's a very fun little number to listen to! I do think that the drum kit is a bit too tinny (lacking in low end punch), but otherwise, it's a solid piece!

Overall, this project is a pretty fun composition! I do think that the drums are pretty buried in the mix compared to other instruments and I would've loved to see the drums cut through the mix a bit more, but otherwise, I can see the direction you are taking with this project!

This is a very fun and fitting composition for the theme that you're targeting as well as the setting for your game. Great work for 48 hours!

Hi there! I love the piano playing that happens throughout the compositions and the project feels very pretty! I do wish that there was more incorporation of bass to help drive the compositions, but otherwise, it's a solid project!

Hi there! Overall, this project is quite the vibe and fits the setting of your game! I do think that the drums could punch through the mix more as it's quite buried compared to the other instruments, but otherwise, I can see the direction!

I'd say that this is a very meditative and reflective piece, fitting with the text and picture theme

This whole project is giving me "Tanger - Prefer Not To Say" vibes with the direction that you took with the projects. I'd say it's a very fun composition to listen to overall <3

This is a very vibrant project and it really does feel like the setting fits for the theme and what your hypothetical game is going for!

I think your last track would be my personal pick, though overall the EP is solid! 

The drums cut through the mix and the guitars are powerful which is what I like to see! I think the background synth in the beginning is a bit too resonant and piercing in the frequencies, but otherwise, it's a solid number!

The composition feels like it would fit very well within the setting of your hypothetical game! The jazz is very well done and is dynamic!

I think what you have going on here fits very well with the theme as well as the setting of your hypothetical game! I also liked the synth patches throughout the tracks! Solid work!

This is a very solid ambient track! I wish the background strings were just a tad bit louder and I felt like it would've added even more to the atmosphere you got going on here, but otherwise, this is solidly done and cohesive in terms of the connection to your ideals!

I liked how we had a similar idea with the idea of contrast and how this translates into your composition! I think I personally would've liked to hear the drums a bit more in the track, Free, but otherwise you had a goal with it and I think you did it decently well!

I like the orchestration on this track! I don't really have any comments on this as it captures what you were aiming for pretty well.

I think the prologue would be my personal pick out of the two tracks in terms of the emotions that are invoked out of this piece! 

FIRST ENCOUNTER is probably my pick here! It's quite the fun number you have as part of this EP. I think the snare in your second track, Suspicions, has trouble cutting through the mix and is quite buried in the other melodic and percussive elements, but otherwise, i can see what you were trying to go for. Good work for 48 hours

I think some of the high end frequencies in the ending track, T H E A F T E R M A T H, are a bit too much (probably could use a dynamic EQ), but otherwise, it's an interesting project for sure!

I'd say the ambient parts from tracks 2-4 are my personal picks out of this EP. I do think that the drums in the 1st track and the 5th track are pretty buried in the mix and not very present, but other than that, I can definitely feel the vibe that you're going for!

Some of these tracks are giving me early Teminite vibes which evokes a good nostalgia from me. It's insane that you made so many tracks within 48 hours, so kudos! 

I'm curious as to what could've arose out of a longer period of time as I would want to hear a further elaboration on your vision!

The first track gives me Alon Mor vibes with the way that the ambience develops and intensifies over time (the abrupt end was surprising but welcome when given the context)

The second track is very majestic feeling! Overall, I enjoyed this project <3

This is a very ominous take on Oceans/Rivers which definitely makes for an interesting audio experience! Keep it up!

The eerie textures are very fitting of the soul sand valley vibe. It matches the hollowness and the eerieness when I traverse the soul sand valley! Keep it up!

This is a very immersive piece with the textures and the sounds you're using. Keep it up!

I can definitely hear the C418 influence in this track! Good job!

This is very C418 vibes with the electronic sounds and the arrangement. Keep it up!

This feels like something I would hear in older versions of Minecraft with the recorded guitar twist to bring some interesting flavors. Keep it up!

This feels very serene and makes me feel like I'm overlooking a wide landscape from the perspective of the mountain peaks. Keep it up!

I like the composition for oceans/rivers, though I feel like it could be made a bit more convincing with some ocean sounds (like seagulls or ocean waves). Keep it up!

I like this balance that you have maintained between organic and electronic elements for this track! It definitely feels reminiscent of C418 while being original in itself. Keep it up!

Hi there! Yes I am using a choir sound for the "pad" sounding thing in the background. It's a very gothic sounding library which I felt fitted with the theme of the End. Thanks for listening!

This is a very energetic spin on the Main Menu for Minecraft! Keep it up!

The cherry grove is also my favorite biome at the moment, and this track nails the vibe of the biome for me! Keep it up!
