Prism of Emotions is great. Sounds that are edgy enough to match the theme, but a beautifully constructed soundscape out of them. Excellent progressions, lovely work.

Short Breaths is so well done in terms of playing skill, while still reflecting the almost claustrophobic feeling that results from the horror vacui of the theme images, that it's a very worthy entry.

Prisms - Bringing to a Light is a good, solid dance track while still relevant, with solid sound design. Two thumbs up.

misael - I like how nebulous this is in places. the bell in the intro has like the perfect amount of detune, I think most of us would lay it on too thick(or at least I would)

patashu - NES has sicker transformers than serum. I also really love that echoed pitch bend. the chaos of this is a really good take on the theme


koekepan - I like the dichotomy in the beginning between the pretty pings and the growl bass

1) "They Come from All Sides" - A little on the soft side, but overall I enjoyed the fading in and out of different sounds. I thought it was very thematic and captivating.

2) "Shimmering Prism" - I love this bass a ton. The instruments used in this are intriguing and catchy to listen to. There was one instrument around the 2:14 mark that was a *little* grating, but it actually didn't sound as bad the second time I listened to it and it's not like I didn't .

3) "Prism Of Emotions" - I quite like this; musically it's very emotional and flows very well. I just wish some of the instruments had smoother, less buzzier sounds. Especially when that grating bass starts to build up, then it starts to overpower everything a little too much.

I was also really close to voting for "Prisms - Bringing To A Light" - those repeating notes are super catchy. I wish it would have built up a bit more gradually though. Also it ended too soon. D:

Patashu's "OHC 390 Our Sleepless Days" had interesting drums, but they didn't go too well with the music, in my opinion. I enjoyed the melody; I just wish I could have heard it more frequently in the piece.

NickC: great sounds, great rhythm! I think somehow this really nails the abstract rainbow rectangular theme we had last week.

Patashu: sweet FM tunes! the tempo slowdown at the middle was very well done and gave the song a super refreshing feel. Good job.

GLL: while I don't think this particularly fits the theme, it's still very good and varied.


 

awesum: GLL, NickC, Patashu.
good: Arcana, gercr, Koekepan.
