[Beneath the Stars]

What an experience. The atmosphere with the soft plucks and softly swelling synths really reminded me of the quiet waves I imagined in the piece. I was not expecting some voice, but it fit in very well and inspired something wistful in me. It's funny that the inspiration was inspired by a different song, yet two songs can describe the same image.

Thank you ^u^

AceMantra responds:

I'm glad you like it! It was an awesome experience making this. I hope it inspires more creativity in you.

[ChiChi Charoir #1 - Valley-din]

Definitely felt the quick part; enjoyed it :)

[Chivalrous Carousel]

I like the playfulness of the music box. Could definitely imagine a wind-up toy with a moving carousel.

One thing you could improve on would be the bass notes. They sound very muddy especially when trying to play the same thing as the lead music box. Less occasional low boops would help clear up the sound while still allowing the bass to support the melody.

It would also be cool if you could randomize, within a certain scale/set of notes, what the music box is playing, like using a modular system. Maybe an idea you could look into. Great work :).

Winkwing responds:

Thanks so much for the feedback, I'll try to take note of this for future tracks! I hope you continue to enjoy my work as time goes on!~

[Choirus]

It travels from the low boops, to a quiet place, to a glittering field. Great work :)

[A new morning comes]

The piece has got this limping feeling to it, like a lack of energy, or coffee. The chord progression is also very interesting, especially with that dark tone. Great feeling ^u^

[Narcolepsy]

:o It's you!

DesoloZ responds:

Yes yes!

[Fingerstyle Nonsense]

Chill, and has a sort of soft, bouncy quality to it.

[Breathe]

It's a solid song and I enjoyed it. One thing that could be worked on is the transition between the quiet part and the exciting middle part (~1:16). Either the quiet part should be a little more softer (especially the kick, since it's the same volume in both sections), or the transition to the louder sections should be more impactful (maybe a louder riser, or more riser/impact sounds).

Maybe this is helpful. I like :)

NoStereo responds:

Good point, thank you!

[Build Me Up]

Gradual build-up, then the kick came in and it became better :)

NoStereo responds:

Yeah I went a little extreme with the kick-less build up xD
