This is soo cool! I love the vocal elements over the grainy splatters of sound, and the guitar feeling like a sort of calm amongst the storm. Then the beat drops and it's elevated to something great! You have a great understanding of controlled chaos that I really admire :)
Really cool stuff, makes me want to hear more of your work!

Description
A purely emotional excercise.
:D
Spent 4 days splattering MIDI and grains on the timeline.

This... It was definitely the most unusual publication I've ever listened to... Wild, sometimes creepy, but a well-combined mess of sounds and instruments that create a "broken" melody is gold!
really lovely theme. i like how the beginning feels like its trying to push a peaceful vibe, but the glitchy-like noises are restricting it. it adds emotion to the track, as if a main character is attempting to have a good day but is plagued by some sort of memory. the climax with the EDM drop really adds to this and ties it all together with cohesion. great work!
Wild!
I love it. It took me places.
I think the big thing I wanted was for the end to actually come together into cohesion. Although, I did describe the theme of the jam as being low-key and trying to push the boundaries.
Though, part of why I did that is that you find little pieces of gold when you do that, and I think you did find that gold. If it all came together where it was cohesive at the end, I think it would actually be this stunning, moving piece, like life coming back together after a period of darkness.
The music itself already felt like that.
Bravo!
This is sounds like the song an alien would make after listening to earthling music, amazing
I don't think ive heard anything really like this, and honestly i see that as a huge positive. I was super intrigued the whole way through because I didn't really know what was coming next, and I don't think any of the ideas felt super out of place. I do wish the bass in the earlier parts of the song before the drop was a bit less strong because it cut through pretty aggressively sometimes, and while that may be an artistic choice it didnt entirely sit well with me. But this was still super cool, Loved listening to this!
First half sounds like how I feel waking up in the morning, super cool!
Glitchy stuff like this always reminds me of the music from the game Remember Me (that is more glitchy orchestral stuff though)
Going to have to say I liked the earlier glitchy part more than the EDM drop, but that's just personal taste.
Good job on this!
This is really unique. Cool glitchy effects, great production quality. I also would have loved to hear whats underneath especially towards the end! This is some really good experimental work. Great work!
Super beautiful contrast between clean guitar/piano and glitchy voice elements. Amazed at how controlled the mix feels, the fx feel well timed here. Unique for sure!!
The mix is phenomenal, sounds like you have a lots of EDM background production skills for doing this. Very unique too I kinda wanted to listen to the actual song in between all the glitchy effects you dropped. Well done
my favorite parts were where the little xylophone blips would happen. A very unique song that's for sure!
