[Yesterday]

Beautiful song! <3

[Reflections]

Damn Epic! Great song Nahu!

[Warp Zone]

It's a jam

[grotte sous-marine]

Beautiful song! Only thing is I think the reverb was a tad too loud on the vocals and you could have done with some light de-essing as well. The music itself is really nice, I like the flow, and that choir you did is wonderful. The sparseness of a beat makes the sections with it very powerful.

[Evolving]

Really nice, takes a while to evolve though. Almost reminds me of strobe but that one had more going on to pull you to it's climax, unfortunately this song doesn't have a fantastic climax but it's still a great show of mixing and great sound design.

Sequenced responds:

The progression of the build is pretty standard. I could make it even longer of a build if you want haha.

[Ry3 - IDENTITY CRISIS]

Cool song!

[[Rushdown Rivals ZERO] Ecstasy of the Mastermind of Destruction - Pico Day 2021]

Forgot this was on loop until I was practically jumping around headbanging.

[Who I Was]

Starts off chill. Arps follow an interesting progression but it's not entirely unpleasant. The vox sounding synth and bass that come in next are however discordant but not overly so. It's such that I can't tell if you intended for it to have that sort of vibe or not.

1:58 I like the bassline, but again that discord is still present and takes away from the enjoyment for me.
2:30 the lead that comes in is subtle but nice, I like the vibrato you have on that.

Overall I think you could improve on your note choices, make sure everything is within the same scale as each other. Personally I'd like to see some more variation and more catchy stuff but that's a preference. Really nice chill track, but if you want it to be danceable I'd really work on getting a more pronounced beat and taking it away from the chill dimension.

Solid work with a lot of potential.

Mic-Noodles responds:

Thank you so much for the review!

I agree, it's definitely riding on quite a bit dissonance. That is intentional as far as my very limited theory goes! To me, I like the sort of mysterious vibe I feel it adds. However, I can see how that can be distracting and even reductive. Qualities which I may have strayed into here. I really appreciate the advice, whenever I get around to revisiting this track I'll certainly revise the note choices in it. I'd like to see how I can mix things up too, variation is something I wrestle with quite a bit in my head.

Cheers bud!
