Ooo...was this the piece I kept forgetting I promised to review? I'm sorry, Matt! I was really busy with school and stuff. :'( I'll do better next time. Anyway, I love the progression and climactic nature of it. That piano just floats on top of all that heavy bass work - I love it! At times, I thought it could've progressed a little faster, but the melodies are top-notch, as usual. ;) You made a loop for a change, which is cool. A lot of the same synths you use all the time are in this one...but that's not a huge deal, I guess. If you're looking a genre suggestion, it kind of seems like house with the prominent kick later in the piece. Couldn't hurt to throw in an open hat on the off beats if you really want to make it unambiguous. ;) Otherwise, great work, DM! How's college going?

Hi. I made a thing. Not much, and I didn't really put much effort in the melodic department or the mix/master one either, hell I didn't even change the piano note velocities, buuuuuuuut, I made a bass in Serum and that's cool I guess?
Melody is from the beginning of the Requiem For a Dream song that everybody knows, loves, and can never get out of their head by Clint Mansell.
Also made a lead in Sylenth, but I'm not totally 100% on it. I like it when it's fully open and distorted but not when it's plucky even though I want it to be that way and gah.
Hey, man. Was not expecting a review on this one actually! But hey! A review's a review, and any review is always appreciated.
As it stands, this project was simply a way to test out the new bass that I made which is now being used in the new Equilibria project as well as trying out some cool ambiance effects with the intro. Also using that lead that I made, but that's beside the point. As usual, it's a hit or miss with my usual synths, but at the end of the day I do make the music for me, and those synths are so pleasant for my ears, it's gonna be awhile before I find something else I like. (still working on it though!) I'm not too worried about the musicality of this, as it is just a remix of Requiem for a Dream, but I'll keep those suggestions in mind if I ever write another house song (so bad with progression in House music haha)
On the school front, I'm now on Winter Break until about the 2nd week of January so me and Ionic Force are buckling down on this EP, that's almost becoming an entire album, which we've promised the public. Our solo originals are done, with minor tweaks being made to fit the EP, Ionic Force's collab with Willteknyx is about halfway done and the Equilibria originals are coming to fruition with us working on the drops and sound design of them alongside the verses and breakdowns being 90% done.
