@Everyone - Yes it is 18 minutes long. Probably the longest on ThaSauce to be honest. And i mean that for all entrants in all compo's. When i first approached this, i wasn't planning on making it long, but when i couldn't go farther than a single chord, i decided to get creative. The title sums it up, i'd think you might have a few choices words to say to me haha.

@Dex - It's easy. Bang your head on the keyboard. And then looooooop it.

@Arcana - Step 3 would be vibe i guess lol Oh and maybe Step 4 could be send it to Spotify only for it to be ignored. I don't know how many steps to be honest with you lol.

@Misael.K - I specifically searched for man gets trapped in cave on YouTube. Whatever came up first, is whatever in the song. I apologise for his swearing, but i didn't give him directions. Oh well, it adds flavour yes? lol. In terms of reverb, i didn't want it to be overkill. I wanted my cave to have a nice room to it? I wonder if they do caves on Amazon? So that's why i turned the volume down, to make it more believable.

@Everyone (Again) - Thanks for putting up with me for a good solid 18 minutes.

TheVideoGamer - So like i said, this is 18 minutes and it's obviously not going to stop. You will notice, the only pulse i have is a pounding bassdrum, that undergoes through some heavy modulations. Particularly at roughly 5 minutes in, or around 5 minutes in. That's where the volume is turned down, the reverb comes up, and the filter is engaged, to really make it sound like your in a cave. The chord and bells stay pretty consistent, but the voices do not, since i slumped it in at random moments.

DarkShadow - It's the DarkShadow we all know. Interesting chord choices this week. You really know that Atonality. Good job.

cotmm68030 - Really like this a lot. Great deep bass sounds, they work well with the ambience. Vocals were rather nice and blended well. Well done!

JH Sounds - This is good, really liked the guitar, drums and vocals combo. Needs a bassline, and maybe more refinement in the mixing, but other than that, good job!

Ashka - OMG WHYYYYYYY. You might as well win every round. This is incredible. The piano playing is beautiful, and the emotion is spot on. Amazing dude.

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Like this a lot. Great use of melodies and beats, really sold the experience well. Personally i think you went too far with the risers and the swells. You don't need to add a riser every 4 bars. But despite that, the entrant was nice, so good job!

Nukage - This is nicely produced. Great use of drums. It's like a slightly harder variant of Trap music. Well done!

bo0m3r31337 - Is that live violin? This is sick. The mix is super clean and dynamic. It's awesome. I'm not sure what your goal was when using the violin, but it was a nice addition. This is dope, well done!

Misael.K - This is nice. Great use of melodies. Drums are a bit lost, could bring them up, and also maybe tone down the chimes so there not so consistent and high-pitched. However though, really like the melodies a lot, so good job.

Dex - The beats are extremely sick bro. Really like how natural they sound, especially for programmed drums. Even the chants were a great addition. Awesome dude!

Arcana - Great use of ambient sounds. The idea was lovely. A little uneven mix wise, but other than that, good job!

GreyHooves - I'm into the atmosphere a lot. Really great use of dark sounds. It's very short though, and very basic. Still though, good job!

johnfn - The mix is really nice and tight. It's great. The vocals are weirdly cute, and definitely work to the backing track, quite well. The mix was lovely though, and that kind of what sold me. Awesome work!

LunacyEcho - Really like how every sound is your voice. A nice unique idea. Nothing wrong here, well done!
