[Where's My Gameboy? (Save The Princess)]

WHERE IS MY LOWER JAW? IDK I LOST IT. THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME.

Mattashi responds:

xD thanks dude :P

[AIM - New Dynasty]

this track is cool and strange at the same time. you really make the best use out of the stuff here dude. original and solidly great, what i love. im interested in how you humanized the stuff in here. awesome work, blueoceans!

Everratic responds:

I'm glad you like the originality!

It's good to know that the stuff in here sounds humanized, because I admittedly didn't know what I was doing regarding automating real instruments and varying their velocities. I tried to highlight certain notes and chords that I thought defined the mood of their respective section, and thus, other notes were automatically lowered in velocity. Furthermore, I made sure that no two adjacent notes had the same velocity, so there is some degree of randomness.

Thank you for the review! :D

[Dovax - Dream (but less good)]

this sounds like rainbow. the original sounds like fart.

MysteriousPresence responds:

Thanks Maestro ! :3
But I think Dovax managed to create an awesome rythm structure, especially in the drop, that I love ! :p

[Level One (Save The Princess)]

This one is gold. One of the best from the album.

Mattashi responds:

Thanks man :)

[You Must Leave Me Behind]

You know how much i love those eargasm bells! :D this track is dream in a dream. it's just soooo sweet and beautiful. and it does sound vast and chill in some way. the mix is great too. transitions are awesome.

:) this is awesome.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

It's such a shame I don't remember what VST I used! I know I added some delay to some bells I still have... But which ones? Haha :D
I'm glad you like the sound of them, too!

Thank you for the review, dude xD
Though ofc, you knew about this piece from before :3

[Traversing the Milky Way]

i don't think it's failed at all. this is very sweet. :)

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks man!! I like the sound too, it just doesn't really fit the rules of the contest :)

[Closer]

took me 3rd listens to realize you sung this. great track.

Yardood responds:

Thank you man, I appreciate it!! :)
Actually I had my friend sing this since I preferred that airy female voice.
a question tho, is it really assumed in most tracks that something is sampled or remixed or re-anything-ed?

[MEDIEVAL]

THE WAY OF THE VIKINGS AND CELTS!

dope piece. excellently done.

ABoyWithABalloon responds:

Really big thanks! Looking forward to make more vikingish tracks ;)

[Safe in the Hospital Bed]

who the fuck would downvote this? this is gold.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thank you kind individual!

[Masquerade]

holyfuck, a track tribute to Mr. Robot on NG. this shit is dope.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

This is not a tribute to Mr Robot, I simply sampled dialogue from the series. That's not to say I don't like the show. I just thought of using Eliot's therapy speech in a track on my latest album.

Thanks for the love!
