[The Mystical Forest]

Coming back to review this as I didn't get a chance to during judging and simply slapped it with a spicy 10.

Love the found-sound ambience. The subtlety to all the instruments used. The quality sound you got out of virtual orchestral instruments impressed me most. I've used EWQLOS in the past (mainly for my Farsky OST) -- it's very nice. I don't think I'd ever be able to work it like this though. I couldn't really find much to nitpick. It was mixed well and honestly has a very professional feeling. The emotive crescendo is quite nice. I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of something... Like back when I first ever played World of Warcraft as a night-elf rouge. Back in the first year WoW released. Ha!

It was magical/mythical feeling.

It had a certain nostalgic vibe for me. I could totally hear this used for a movie or game or something.
I'm generally not all that moved by orchestral stuff -- as I find a lot of it to be quite generic feeling/boring//etc. -- I have my exceptions though.

2:03-2:10's melody feels very familiar to me.

anthonyragus responds:

Thank you so much, Lapse. Working with those old samples requires a lot of mixing and automation. The nostalgia in that moment could be related to a few things: the trills in the upper woodwinds, the ascending thirds in the violins, the gong roll. All of the melodies seem familiar to me, but I'm not sure from where, which I suppose adds to the mythical sensation. I appreciate your thoughts.

[Make it up]

Dig the lyrical message and the overall playful chipper-chiptune feel. Mood-wise...I wasn't quite ready for it at first (especially considering the tone of the tracks I've been judging) and was nearly ready to dismiss this, all truth up front.

Something about the playfulness of this track tells me you might like the musician "TV Room".

Reading the authors comments made me feel better as I was kinda in a shitty mood today for some personal reasons -- things get into the mind and swim around for too long and this drained the water a bit. :)

[Last Minute Riot]

Dig the ending breakdown @ 1:18. <3
I'm a sucker for that main driving chunky DX10ish 16-bit Sega bassline

[Vebrik - Pus]

Dope. Love the glitchy/idm/hiphop/trap-y/trance-y buildup's+dubstep fusion vibes. Feels pretty unique as far as most of the small amounts of dubstep I've listened to. Feels like a more unique sound in the space.

2:47+ <3.

While I'm cool with the ending and even though I'm not a big noise guy...I think it could've just gotten harsher and noisier/glitchier till you dropped it all out with a reverby finish/guitar amp disconnected fuzz/bass/feedback. Meybe? Fine as is though. Just felt like you could've built up the ending a tad bit more.

I know you had a limited time, but it'd be cool to explore/expand this track/ideas similar to it in the future. If you dew, send it my waaaaaaay 'cause I got stuck listening to this one.

[Sicra - Wanderers [NGUAC]]

Damn man, this hits hard.

[Realm Between Heaven and Earth]

Dig the ticking clock feel @ 1:34. <3
They keys are beautiful.

RiSUKU responds:

Thank you, didn't think that it would sound like a ticking clock though! :D

[Robot Love Story]
