such an atmosphere! It feels very unique and i appreciate that :) i feel like there might be a little too muchh overlapping in the midrange and i get a sense of crunchiness on the gain,,, i feel like this is probably intentional but idk it's not working for me as a facet of the piece. i love the progression around 0:47 i think that was a very fun choice, and it melds back in at 0:58 very expertly :)

this is lovely, and i probably will just keep this tab open for a bit :)

Very glad you enjoyed it!

I fear my love for the "Codec Crunch" gets a little to intense some times. I feel like the more crispy the crunch, the more gritty the dungeon, lol.

It's the same Codec line I used for my AIM submission, funny enough, I just think the padwork here is a little overcompressed, but it wasn't something I put more than like 40 minutes or so into.

Really goes to show how wildly different a track can turn out under different circumstances.

Also as I'm typing this I'm also remembering on the track here I kinda pushed Yoin's fuzz as much as I could before it was obnoxious.

I always appreciate comments, it's super fun talking about tracks and stuff like this.

Thanks for the comment, Jimmy!

that snare click sticks out like a sore thumb, but overall i can hear a very pleasant sound here. I hear that you're going for an elevator/bg vibe, but i think the washover of reverb is muddling the track rather than defining it. I love the pad/e.piano/bass on the lows, i think it melds so well with the main melody.

this is nice, but yeah, just needs to be mixed a bit differently imo.

edit - the mixing is a lot more consistent with the new version but..... omg this is gonna make me sound insane but i think that snare click should have a liiiittle bit more punch imo. a middle ground lol, between the initial upload and this current version.

yo! Thanks for the feedback. I did upload the wrong ver. but I do see what you mean. lmk what you think of the final version.

0:00 -:30 this is some heavy wild pushing melody out of the ether and i really love the effort and the vision

0:31- 2:24 when it drops the first time i'm enjoying the energy but ultimately. i wish it hadn't been breakcore! 0:53 --1:34 i honestly just don't vibe with this genre that much, i find there's not enough space on the levels to allow the features to breathe. it was very jumpyjumpyjumpy which is cool it's just not for me.

2:27-onward is a seashell wide as the shoreline pouring out this static wave of sonic capacity and it washes over me and i do love what you've done with this ending.

truly i think i'd love to death a song that more encapsulated the ending and beginning, and pushed the boundaries a little more -- i feel like there is a vision there!

VarxenCore9 responds:

1. Thanks for that tho

2. Yeahhh... too bad, I get that breakcore (or even IDM) isn't really for everyone. It's one of the main styles I make but I understand where you're coming from. Also, yeah I noticed that there's like a narrow dynamic range of the track, though that didn't bother for me after listening a few times. Still, I get that it's a lil 'jumpy' and too crowded but from what I've heard, breakcore tends to have that kind of chaotic energy, so it may sound crowded at times.

3. Again, thanks! I really appreciate that you liked the experimental intro and outro of the track.

okay so maybe i'm crazy but i happened to open to this song while another song was playing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj9NasdFH9A) and especially around the middle, the two songs really almost complement each other in a weird way when played simultaneously!! i thought that was kinda cool lol

I liked this song though, by itself, of course! If I had to critique anything, I feel like a lot of the instrumental elements were all kinda sharing a similar space on the audial plane, on like the mid-high section? I feel like my ear would be more satisfied if the low end was catered to a bit more.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the song's strong balance of urgency and calm. Very cool!! :)

I hope yr doing well and i hope the rest of this album proceeds well :!!

This feels like it was really fun to make! I enjoyed the guitar solo into the vocal's climax in pitch and tone. The track is overall very cohesive, and I also liked the juxtaposition of the instruments and the vocals at around 2:30ish.

I went ahead and scouted you too :)

the way you meld your vocals and your synths is soooooo like eldritch idk i can never get enough of it

trans ppl make the best music ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
