[Tethered to the Past]

what the hell i REFUSE TO BELIEVE you played 2:58 live omg

nice fun song!! gl :D

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Would it surprise you to hear that that's actually fairly easy? It's just one of those ;) secret techniques ;), ya know!

The octaves at 3:04 are tricky though o.O

Thanks, and you too!

[Don't Sleep On It]

1:06 is a funny buildup haha

And very interesting rhythmic choices for the drums!!! are you a drummer by any chance?

Very interested in the inspirations behind this track! It's quite unique, great job :D

vocaloutburst responds:

I'm actually not much of a drummer, I do wish I had the time to get good at it tho. I programmed the drums and coming up with that whole drum solo was a pretty fun challenge! My goal was to try to make it sound busy and complex but also authentic. One thing I always kept in mind was the fact that some drummers might listen to it and I didn't want them to think that the solo didn't make sense and was obviously programmed. Sometimes I'd air drum some parts to make sure that a 3rd arm wasn't needed and it really helped, even if I did look stupid doing it XD! Also, I take in inspirations from all over but I guess the biggest for this track, in particular, was probably neo-classical composer Ólafur Arnalds. His compositions have greatly influenced me recently and I highly suggest checking them out whenever you get the chance!

[sad person anthem]

BIG emotional culminative broadway number vibes

good job !!!

johnfn responds:

omg ty

[My Baby Flew Away]

this is the catchiest thing I've ever heard wtf

+ major bonus points for the R I S E R

edit: are those whistle samples in the last solo??? whatever it is it sounds real good

EctiBot responds:

Glad you enjoyed it :D. Decided to pull out the old riser for good measure ;). That instrument in the last solo is Embertone Sensual Saxophone

[The Pact]

Oh man, this is some great stuff! As usual I am loving the story and atmosphere in your songs :D and that plotline could totally be turned into a story, honestly

Great work and good luck!!

LunyAlex responds:

Thank you! Glad the narrative worked, haha.
Good luck to you too!

[Salsa Verde [Arby's Revenge]]

Whoa where did THIS come from, you're so full of surprises you

I'm glad someone else enjoys the octave salsa too

Phonometrologist responds:

Where did it come from? Well I can say you had an influence.

[Lost and Alone]

whoa hot damn! is this recorded live? this is some good stuff dude!

Jacob responds:

Half of it was! The sax, guitar, bass, and drums were all recorded live. They were just tight enough to avoid any timing fixes, and just loose enough to keep the groove. The piano, organ, and xylophone were all played in midi, then quantized loosely.

Thank you for the review! Love you, brother.

[Voyage]

wow i LOVE this i want one omg

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks :)

[From the Dust You Whisper]

hey i'm no insect doctor but i think your music attracts mosquitos because i hear one buzzing by whenever i get to 4:11 in this song

Phonometrologist responds:

I assume you mean entomologist, but bro! Now I can't get that image out of my head when I hear it. Thanks a lot
