[Travel Away (Full Instrumental)]

I really like the timbre of the piano and the guitar in this mix. The harmonic progression is also pretty cool! It sounds beautiful. I’m curious to know how the strings (from the intro playing the melody in unison with the piano) was replaced with one solid lead Violin or Viola playing the melody with the piano. Maybe even a subtle snare? (Check the snare from Empire Ants by Gorillaz) If you want to tweak it more you dont have much to do much because you have a great foundation. (Instrumental, and arranging wise) keep up the good work! I wish I could comment on the mix but mixing isn't my strongest suit.

Riy0 responds:

Ah, the strings in unision helps keeping the ttansition together because I added strings to the prologue and didn't want to make it too empty with bass and guitar. It was a way to avoid randomness.☺☺

Mixing wise isn't that great. I took out way too much with EQ and it creates more space where things aren't filling it in.

Thank you s kindly for your words. I guess o gotta ping you when the songs out.❤❤❤

[Xmas Ditty]

You’re a jack of all trades dude. I feel like I’m stuck on a huge line shopping for the perfect gift. That synth really rides the line of being joyful and unsettling at the same time. Great stuff!

Shufflehound responds:

Thanks!

[Winterlude]

Eerie, powerful, and beautiful I love all the different timbres that build together all throughout. A real pleasure to listen to!

stardew responds:

one of my main goals with this song was to experiment with timbre / texture so I'm really happy that you brought it up :^)

glad you enjoyed!

[Fulcrum]

Pure groove, I got really hype when that B section kicked in. Great stuff man!

[Pivot]

Its def massive alright! Sounds great as always. Theres many themes and ideas in here. I almost feel like you have enough melodic content in here you could flesh out into two or even three songs. But a Great vibe nonetheless. Good luck with everything!

[Sensual Interlude]

Hey baby.. I heard you were talking about Tom Fulp. Lmaoo great stuff man

SourJovis responds:

Haha! Thanks!

[Derpcat - I like em Funky]

Those drums are pretty dank!

[IC 11 - That feeling when Ginkgo is the only missing ingredient...]

This is so dope! I love the intensity!

[Don't Sleep On It]

I like the lush strings. The drums do a really great job of breaking up the calm stuff too. Its almost like a Drum concerto! Beautiful composition!

vocaloutburst responds:

Thanks! Never thought about it being a sort of "drum concerto" but I love that!

[JUGGERNAUT]

Nicee! The overdriven guitar licks and poppy bass really drive the piece. that synth at 3:02 really breaks everything up really nicely for that harder final chorus good stuff!
