[Watching Cars Drift By]

As others has stated before me, it really is a kice soundscape though it really is just the exact same thing for 9 minutes and it becomes pretty boring.
Can't give your more than 2.5 on this one. Sorry. Keep it up though. You seem to have a talent for soundscapes. Just needs more variation.

Feel like the intro could have been better. It started really abrupt. The rest of the track is really good though. I loved the sounds of it and the synth. Feel like the main bass-ish chord progression could have been a bit more varied though. I dont think that chord progressions always needs to be varied, but in this track it the sound that stands out the most, thus the track becomes boring after a while if you don't mix it up.

A solid track with nice synths and fit the image well :).
4 stars

[Gray...]

Loved how the instruments sounded in this one. Feel like the vocals could have been louder or mixed better though. At some points the vocals also sound a bit off like on the part around 1:10. Basically the vocals could have been better overall.
The melody is pretty calming and if it weren't for the vocals this could have been a good lullaby.

3.5

Oh yeah the vocals were intentionally wonky at 1:10 lol. I try to keep my experimental side in most of my songs even though I strayed away from most of the weird stuff.

Didn't really like the sound of the guitar. Both guitars guitars had way too much wer reverb on them for my liking. Also I found the piece pretty boring as you used the same strumming pattern for the acoustic guitar throughout.
It still was pretty chill though, but I didn't feel it as much as I could have.
3 stars

[Starchasers AIM 2014]

Wasn't really as powerful and interesting as it could have been. Feels like you rushed it alot.
Was still sorta ambient though and it might actually be good in a game or something.
Peter pretty much said everything I wanted to say about this.
3 stars

[Starfalls]

Beautiful is all I can say :D. It's really calming and ambient.
The vocals are awesome and really well mixed as well as the rest of the track.
Didn't really like the piano panning though as I feel like it distracted the vocals sometimes but at the same time the panning made it sound really ambient and calming.
I also feel like this. Could have been longer. It ended before the song really got to build up.

Anyways a soothing and calming piece. Best of luck in the A.I.M :). 4.5 stars

Thanks for the feedback. I have to say, I'm not fully satisfied with the track now, because of the exact same reason you're having.

Will definitely extend this track and add allot more variety in it to make this track even more dynamic than it is.

Also there supposed to be 4 pianos playing if people would "cover" this :P

[Riffin']

Awesome :D. A tiny bit repetetive, but still awesome and amazingly chill to listen too.
One of the most funky tracks I've heard in a while. Just loved that bass and the drums are pretty nice too.
I love the small pieces of "ear candy" you place at different areas of the track. The fact that you do that make it so it dosen't matter that the melody itself is repetetive because each bar of the song sunds new and exciting.

5 stars and scout :).

EasyEvil responds:

Thank you very much. I try to keep my tracks interesting with lots of twists and turns. The only downside is it takes ages to make just one track.
