Again another awesome track here. There are so many cool tracks in this competition. Really fun to listen to this. To be honest I´m a big fan of twisted, creepy fun music. Catchy beat and the harmonies for the eerie atmosphere are really nice. I could not find anything bad here. Maybe the main theme was repeated a bit to often but since it´s really cool that didn´t bother me ;) Good luck with that!

Yeah the main theme is quite repetitive, I tried to change it but the change didn't work so well. So I kept the main theme in the second part. Although, thanks for your nice comment! (:
This aint disappointing... This is pretty sweet! The atmosphere you create is very cool, funky, and a little spooky :D It only feels a tiny bit drawn out, but this could very well be in a game which only makes it more accaptable.
Really nice work. I think you'll move on to the next round!
Good luck!
AeronMusic responds:
Thanks Mawnz! I am happy to hear I didn't disappoint you with this. :D
I had some other attempts as well and it took long for me to submit... But I chose for this one to finish!
Damn dude, I'd love to hear you do more downtempo! This is really awesome!
Good luck with NGADM, although if you keep entering stuff as good as this, you'll do fine!
AeronMusic responds:
Yeah, I like to make downtempo stuff! Thank you, Cacola!
Oh man, this is some really fun stuff. You're one of the stronger electronic producers in this competition and I'm really glad you put your skills to the test with such a unique yet well-produced experiment. The swing tempo works extremely well, creating a memorable groove and giving this track a lot of character. The composition on top of that swing groove is also very obscure, but at the same time, oddly enticing! I think in terms of composition my main issue is that this gets pretty repetitive. You have a very interesting motif that appears at 0:39 for the first time, but that's all you ever play in the more interesting parts. In the less interesting parts where less is going on, you don't have much to keep the listener interested either (aside from maybe the [also repetitive] piano part at 1:57).
You don't leave much to desire in the production, I'll give you that! Everything is super clear and sounds fantastic, especially at high volumes. The sounds you've used are also top-notch. You use mostly heavy, thick, pad-like synths over light, airy synths, giving the track a somewhat menacing and dark kind of vibe. These contrast greatly with the light, high piano notes, a contrast which I adored. Having said that, perhaps making the piano a little more upfront in the mix would elevate it to a little more than just a vague background element. Your drum sounds are, of course, perfect. Punchy and snappy, precisely how I like them! I actually think you should try creating more complex hat rhythms at times, but otherwise you did a good job.
Very solid stuff. I had a few issues with some volume levels, and I think it did get somewhat repetitive/dull, but otherwise this is an extremely successful experiment!
SCORE: 9.3/10
AeronMusic responds:
Thanks Step for your indepth review! I always love to read any of your reviews, even on other tracks.
You're absolutely right about the repetitiveness. It was hard to make something new in this song that didn't change its theme.
I'm glad people liked the dark vibe. I love to hear and make this type of music.
And yeah, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to music production.
Anyways, I am really happy to hear you liked it!
Genuinely wish you made more like this, this is actually pretty swingin'
