Kel-chan responds:

I've been wanting to use some of it in a project but I haven't created anything cool enough for it yet! XD

[Sarcastic Robotic Collab]

i like the one where the human anatomy is made of gears and stuff hehe brilliant

[The Old Harmonium]

a wonderful just very wonderful i love the music too i just wish it was longer

[Great Again]

Congrats on the album man! idk why but I really love 1:53 and the lil break down as well at 1:06 The harmonic progressions are so colorful too

Wage is just a number is my favorite though

[Overworld Song]

7.4/10

I'm a fan of 8bit and 16bit music

I like the overall warm and laid-back vibe of the song.
Your arrangement is very nice and i love that lofi drum you used paired with that portamento pluck in the intro.

Your mix is also good. Usually, 8 bit tracks can be harsh on the high ends but you manage to make this track very warm and without severely sacrificing the high freq.

That said i felt you could've done so much more with this 3 min song. I did not mind the repetition however you could've added more melodic themes or motifs especially on the 2nd repeat.

The lack of a new theme just made the song a bit draggy for me.

So overall not bad but can could've been better

BeeFef responds:

I think one of my main weaknesses in composition is getting to a certain point in writing and not knowing what to add next, especially if I'm coming back to a certain theme instead of doing a new one. But at least I'm glad you thought I nailed the mix, as that's one element of making electronic music that's been taking me longer to get right. Thank you for your review and I hope I get some more detailed reviews from the people who did my KO round submission, as that' something I didn't make it through

[Toyland]

You're getting really good at this glitch stuff

the choir section is definitely my favorite every orchestration (synths and stuff) here really helps in conveying a "toyland" image

[The Botanist, The Detective, And The Woman In Between]

It looks great. really loving the minimalistic it would've better if the botanist design was a little more detailed and clear like the detective

Shye responds:

I did struggle there quite a bit in trying to make the botanist detailed and characterized, but also shadowed and in the dark. Glad you like it though!

[Steam-punk Humanoid Design]

Saw this on the robot day collab and i just want to say awesome work!

HowardWimshurst responds:

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. I've got a full length animation with similar style coming out soon!

[Manananggal]

Interesting take on the manananggal. Never heard of one having horns though would be cool if they did :p
