Really like how it starts out ambient and gets more rhythm-based, turning the uncertain atmosphere into a curious, if slightly unsettling one. And a guitar and piano addition? Very nice!

Only real critique i have is that the central drum machine doesn't quite match up with the rest of the song for me, though that may just be personal taste. Otherwise, well done!

IvySnyder responds:

Thank you for your Words!

The drums are the oldest part of the track, remaining mostly unchanged from 3 years ago (they also sample from the original song 5 years ago), thought it sounded cute, so kept it :3

This song is a bookmark of my musical journey, I think I might start a ritual of remaking it every few years.

You always make the most wonderful ambient pieces.

Thank you so much for your support. 🙏

Nice! I enjoyed the lo-fi feel from this – the drums and synths mesh well together. Some variety in melodic/chord progression would've been interesting, but as an atmospheric piece, it's really cool. :)

HaylenWillis responds:

thank you heaps, i didn't feel like going all in on this one melody/chords wise, i kinda just wanted to open up the daw, dick about and finish a track in the space of around half an hour or so (as i've been doing a lot lately) nonetheless glad you liked it :)

Very peaceful and well put-together. The video-game synths mixed in with the field recordings and lo-fi beat to put together something simple yet earnest. A volume adjustment may be in order, but the quietness certainly adds to it. Well done! :)

HaylenWillis responds:

why thank you so much! i agree about the volume, there’s parts that definitely need to shine more but some parts make up for others i guess, the field recording aspect was a blast though and doing it just works flawlessly with the type of stuff that i make even if i did record it with my phone lol, but thank you a bunch for the honesty and kind words :)

A nice lil jam and a productive, positive use of frustrated energies. :)

popolamusic responds:

thanks for listening!

Love the direction of this track here! Light-hearted and heartfelt. The guitars provide a solid backing upon which the keyboards can play, and the d&b tags along tastefully.

My only critique is that you went a little heavy with the compressors here; I'd love to hear more dynamics and not have it feel like it's all squeezed together.

But otherwise, you got a really solid musical journey. :)

GatorTots responds:

Thanks for the comments and feedback!

Nice! I love the idea of bringing together a variety of artists and styles with the constant being the tempo, and it's fantastic that all the artists bring their own style and genre to the collab.

I only wish that there were transitions or some kind of continuity between songs to make it more recognizable as a single piece, like an audio exquisite corpse. I listened to this while working, and at points I thought the collab was over and was going to skip tracks on the Portal only to realize that it was still going on.

But hey, you all got it together and made something pretty cool. Well done! :)

BottleTopBillFanclub responds:

Thank you, littlbox :D

You make a good argument as to why there should be continuity between the songs to make it more recognizable as a single piece. I can see your point. You are right. Especially at 19:50 there is a pretty long pause.

Interesting instrumental, but I'm erring on the side of the autotuned vox not working. Good experiment tho; keep trying new stuff! :)

PendragonVA responds:

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. It was hard for me to personally tell if it was just something I was uncomfortable with since I hadn't done it before or if it actually wasn't working out lol

Your drum machine-driven power pop always manages to put a smile on my face. :)

Just a square peg in a round hole.
