Well, finally I've made a song in 120bpm. Now I can remember how long a second is...

I kinda made this song on accident and it was mainly experimental. I was just screwing around with the hats and it made an interesting beat.

I added a bass playing a usual bass rhythm and it sounded pretty good with the hats. I also toyed around with the (arp-ed?) synth and used Gross Beat to stutter the synth during the resting parts. The mastering... tho... I still don't have headphones, and I'm just using speakers from 5.1 surround crap so I'm not sure how it sounds.

Overall, I think it sounds decent. Let me know what you guys think c:

I agree with TaintedLogic - the dark yet melodic mood is perfect, it makes me picture being alone in some peaceful dark forest :) It's really nice!

Thanks man, I have no idea what I was doing but it went well ^.^

Glad you enjoyed!

I like the dark cinematic mood at the beginning. The piano with the echo effect works really well to supplement the mood too. It has a lot of emotion, which I recall you didn't go for as much in the past. I love the sense of climax into 1:05, and how you channel that into the chill section at 1:10. I thought it was pretty haunting when the reverb just drops, like at 1:29. That kick comes in a little suddenly at 1:37 IMO. You could've at least used filters to "fade it in," if you know what I mean. Same thing with the sweep at 1:45. I think your drums are a little loud, but that's true of a lot of your tracks and is probably appropriate for the genre. I enjoyed the breakdown at 3:15 and that little riff with the transition synth at 3:27. Again with the reverb cutoffs at 3:50! :D It is quite repetitive, as usual, but I enjoyed the flowiness and constant ups-and-downs, which gave it the illusion of being fast-paced in a way, even when the mood itself was wicked chill. I would've appreciated a little more melodic development later on, but I think you accomplished what you set out to accomplish, my friend. Sounds hella good for something you made when you were "just screwing around." That bass and pulsing pad at the end added a lot to the sense of "release" at the very end of the song. It didn't seem as conclusive as some of your other tracks, but you also evaded the fade-out method, which I appreciated. Overall, great work man! Hope to hear more from you soon. ;)

SynchroSpectre responds:

Oooh, thanks :o, What I meant by screwing around is that I was just reversing some of the hats in the drums and using some stuttering in that Chinese synth thing. But yea, regarding the genre... I have no idea what I'm making; lol, it's my own unique style that just came up. I was always trying hard to make it like those mainstream EDM tracks out there but I never really succeeded - here, I decided, "oh well, I'll just make what I wanna make" and voila, some random deep house piece.

In house, usually repetition isn't a problem, 'cause it's mainly for dancing, but in this song... yea, there isn't supposed to be any repetition; this is supposed to be a piano piece with drums in the background, but laziness got me :l. Oh well, I'll just try to FX harder XD

Anyways man, I enjoy your reviews and thanks for listening :D

Really great song :o everything just flowed so well together, and I love how you used the piano for the song. You deserve my 5 stars (i don't just give 5's away)

SynchroSpectre responds:

Aw thanks man, glad you liked the piano part (it annoyed the hell outa me)... Thanks for listening :o!

Seems like a pretty good music for an artsy puzzle game
It's pretty good ^u^

SynchroSpectre responds:

Oi, thanks mate :o
