I like how serene everything feels, definitely fits that beautiful description. The repetition in the drums has a rather soothing effect to it. The track flows nicely as well. Awesome song, congrats on the deserved frontpage!

Thanks my homeslice g dawg hoodlum hood homie!

What an emotionally gratifying piece! The whole first half feels like a journey, and the second half the destination. I absolutely adore the guitar melodies! Only critique is that I think the mix could have some more presence in the higher frequencies, but that might just be a preference thing. I love this track, keep it up!

crispybatteryacid responds:

I'm glad you liked the guitar, I was trying to decide if it wotked or not.

higher frequencies, huh?

...

i see how it is

This is a pretty song, I really love the lyrics. The waltzy feel is also neat. The melody is very haunting like the previous reviewer mentioned, which is perfect for the vibe you were going for! Also, I love your voice… you’re truly talented.
A few critiques:
The vocals just don’t seem to flow all that well. In places, it just feels awkward. This is because the notes you are holding or putting emphasis on do not match up with the emphasized syllable of the word you’re singing… does that make sense? So bear that in mind when you’re writing your vocals. Secondly, the piano feels a little monotonous, flat. I’d recommend adding a bit of dynamic variation, and maybe a soft bit of reverb. You could also unquantize it slightly for a more human feel. All just suggestions!
You have a really cool sound that I would love to see you develop. Keep it up, Kekeyz!

Kekeyz responds:

Thank you so much for the comment!!!! The emphasis thing was just that I was looking for something really weird to fit the melody; to be nonstandard and see what happens 😵‍💫. Thank you for the tips about the keyboard, I do also think they sounded flat. I tried to do a bit of unquantizing but it just not sounded the way a human would play it, but I think I'm constantly learning about it and what you said will help me a lot, I think. Thank you for all the compliments and suggestions and as a bye, I encourage you to go hear my newest song.!! Bye

Those slightly unquantized-feeling drums are so cool, I wanna lead with that. Heck, everything about this track is cool. The unique time signature, and the fact that the arps and lead sound like their constantly changing… love all the filters you put on everything. Oh, and the bass! That’s right, ALL of this song hits. Keep it up!!

thanks mate 😁

Thought I’d write a review on one of your finished tracks, just to see what your songs look like at the end of your process.
I like the intense techno vibe! Like some of your others, you build this one up instrument by instrument, keeping listeners entertained until your big finish. I like your composing style, it’s simple but so effective!
I also love that mellow synth that comes in around 0:55. It flows really well, keeping with your acidic theme. And the harder drums that kick in near the end are a great way to end the track.
So structurally and compositionally I’d say this is all I need from a 2 minute concept track like this!
So where you started to lose me was the mix. There’s a LOT more low-frequency presence than high-frequency, for starters. With all of your instruments occupying those same general low frequencies, everything starts to sound really muddled down there.
I would also recommend making a bit more use of panning, because this track just feels paper-thin in my headphones. Making use of that panning can really do wonders in keeping the listener entertained.
Lastly, a complaint on the drums. It’s the hihats— they sound very robotic. Many a producer will tell you that randomizing the volume a bit solves this very well! You can also lower their volume a bit.
This is a very fun track, I enjoyed listening to all of it! I hope this review helps in any way, I only critique you this much because you’ve got a lot of potential to make even more fun songs. Keep at it man!

Thank you so much for such a great review! I will take all this into account.

Like how this song builds, introducing new elements gradually. Every new melody gives more context for all the others. Then the switchup at 1:28 prepares us for whatever you’re going to add on next.
The piano does get a bit monotonous after a while, and with all that repetition the melody becomes a bit grating. I would recommend changing it up or dropping it entirely in some sections, but it’s up to you.
Can’t wait to hear what you create next, Pentalogue!

Pentalogue responds:

Thank you!

Late congratulations on hitting 500 fans!!
EDIT: 🤣🤣🤣 also, Tenement already had a 5 star from me, and a bunch of others that I had voted on but not actually reviewed :)

Edit, oh NICE!

There’s nothing wrong with posting calming beats, just create whatever music you feel! We could all use a little calm sometimes ;)
The congos really are a nice touch though. In fact ALL of the instrument choices are really fitting for this track. The wave sound effects add a lot to the mood as well. Soothing and satisfying, keep it up!
EDIT: Seriously?! That can’t be right, you’ve made so much good music!! Lemme change THAT

Creeperforce24 responds:

I think this is the first time you gave 5 stars on a song I made! Thanks a ton!

Oh my GOSH I literally love all of your music, you’re so underrated I swear.

AZININE responds:

aha thanks so much man means a lot to me :)

This is really immersive and unique. I would agree with the title here— that pulse feels really powerful, weighted… definitely a sense of pressure there. The sound design throughout is immaculate. Everything here is amazing, keep it up!!

Thank you for the review! I'm really glad you enjoyed this <3
