[Two Paths - AIM2014]

Liked the sounding of the piano, though I feel like it could use a bit more reverb. I disliked the guitar that came in around :50 though. It sounded poorly mixed with the guitar.
The melody is pretty nice though I feel like it could have been a bit more varied.
The percussion samples are either low quality or poorly mixed.

I liked the song for the most part, but stuff like the guitar and the percussion kinda ruined it for me.

3.5 stars.

[Forest Of Desolation]

A true masterpiece :D. Sounded like a true filmscore or something. Loved the small pieces of ear candy throughout and the sounding of it was really outstanding.

5 stars and favourite.

[Tron Shredder]

Another awesome piecE :D. The song structure is really good and I loved the synths :D.
The song gives of a really chill atmosphere.
I feel though that the song is lacking a heavier bass. Really missed that heavy low end bass sound.
The melodies are awesome as well :D.

4.5

[Aim-fire-Run]

Dammit =_= another outstanding piece. Now I gotta take this into consideration for my top 3 of the AIM as well :/.
One of the best 8-bit tracks I've ever heard. Loved the melody and percussion :D.
The slide notes made my day and the bit guitar is awesome.
An absolutely outstanding piece and fits the art really well :D.

Instant 5 and favourite.

Thank you for the feedback! i'm really glad you enjoyed it. :)

[The Traveler]

It's a nice ambient piece.
Everything after 2:48 sounded flawless, but I'm afraid I didn't really enjoy alot of the stuff before that.
There was nothing there to keep me hooked, nothing that created tension and made me wanna keep listening to the track.
Can't pinpoint what I feel like is missing, but I'm sure you'll figure it out once you look into it.

3 stars.

[Contemporary]

Hmm. Didn't really feel the song at some points. Some parts sounded a bit random and I kinda got bored of the track before it hit 4 min. The drop was amazing though which pretty much saved the track for me. Might also have something with that I really don't enjoy this kind of dubstep in general.
Wasn't really that pleasing to my ears.

Speaking from a technical standpoint though, this is pretty good. The structure is really good and the transistions are flawless. People who are into this style will probably love this.
3.5 stars.

Holy "##%%&&%/. Most awesome piece ever. Gotta restrain from using caps, cuz WOW this is awesome :D. Was sure I already got my 3 favourites, but now I guess I gotta take this into consideration as well. I remember hearing your songs under the NGADM, but this is definetly the best piece I've heard by you and one of the best tracks I've heard on the site :D.

Instant five and favourite :D.

Hey thanks dude! I'm glad you like it so much :-)

[Abyssal Depths]

A really nice soundscape, though I'm not sure if this actually can be called music though.
Isn't a really a proper melody throughout the song at all.
Still was a pretty nice soundscape though. It's something I can imagine being in a game or a movie, but it isn't something I would listen to alone for pleasure.

3.5 stars

[100 Years Of Spring]

Wow. The amount of work you put in this, really reflects itself in the piece :D. Great job. This really gives me the feeling of a forest in spring. Felt that it was missing another layer with strings though.
Could also be more powerful at the parts with the most tension. This is probably because of the lack of another, more deep, string layer.

Pretty nice and ambient piece :). Will definetly remember this.
4 stars.

[Godlike]

Pretty boring piece. Felt like I just heard the same loq quality instruments play the same melody over and over again :/. It has a good concept with some interesting ideas in it, but as it is now it really isn't good. You should work a bit on song structure and switch out the instruments.

2 stars

The same thing...

The main goal is make something minimal and experiemental(seems like it don't have worked at all, meh). However, I'm improving my skills so, my next song will sounds better(I hope so, lmao).

Thx4daReview.
