[Sobriety (ver. II)]

Stunning

[The Nonexistent Ego]

Brilliant build up and drop, brother

[Main Theme (Police Escaper OST)]

This is nice. Proper funk behind the chord prog and arrangement. It's a track with swagger

[S3RL feat. Kayliana- You Are Mine (~cC~ Remix)]

Nice work on this! I'm just wondering if you were intending to produce Happy Hardcore in S3RLs style here, or whether you wanted to move away from that? I can hear that many of the sounds and sythns are softer, but used in a 4/4 175 bpm Hardcore arrangement. I'm keen to know the theory behind the track :)

CelestialChaos responds:

The original was also in 4/4 at 175, I tried to keep some aspects the same such as that and the drum beats. I didn’t reuse any of S3rl’s synths, although I did use the same harmonies as him. The chord progression is F#m-C#m-Dmaj-Amaj-Emaj-Fmaj if you were curious. Thanks for the review, and I gotta say I’m actually a fan of your music!!

[A New Beginning]

Nice arrangement. I like the chip tune effort. I think from 44 seconds, that sine bassline could sit an octave lower? But I'm not an expert in this genre at all.

TBAdriel responds:

That's fair, I just had the bassline there because I liked it better.
Thanks, though!

[PI 20: "Level Clear #2"]

Loving that Tekken style of drum roll to bring in the sound. Fantastic.

Pheanir responds:

Thanks ~
That is coincidental, then, wow. I've never played Tekken myself. ^_^

[Angel's Ire]

Very angry. Very dubstep.

Now I need to check over the Angel Beats soundtrack and link up your inspiration :) Great work

Hookington responds:

thank you! wasn't inspired by the soundtrack, but I sampled some of the anime spoken vocals from an angel beats episode <3

[Mestrix - Elate]

This is absolutely splendid. Bravo!

[Ocean of Stars]

Really nice chill feeling to this, and that's in large part down to a very good sound selection. Great work

[Rastrum Visual]

This is really good. Massive kudos. Love the riffs, and the quality of the recording is pretty much pro

LateNightScreening responds:

Thank you! It took a lot of effort on our part to get it to sound like that due to our less than ideal gear and space we got to record in.
