I originally wanted to scrap this, but I had to do it for my first "chillstep" experiment. I know it is a bit harsh for the normal "chillstep", but I went for a rather chill and dark vibe.


Inspired by "Ghost" by @VortexSupernova

The intro definitely gives me chill vibes - I love that gentle sweep of the bell-like instruments and how those lower strings cut through at around the 0:30 mark. I think it was up until the bass that I was really enjoying the atmosphere; it does portray the artwork it's inspired by effectively.

Unfortunately, I think the harsher bass really dampens my engagement in the track. While I like the idea of adding intensity, I think the transition into that bassline feels abrupt, volume-wise, and the bass is very in-your-face that it's difficult to listen to without feeling like my head is being pounded. The repetition of this bassline also doesn't help it much - it mostly feels uniform and stuck in the same place.

Overall, I think the structure of this entry is good - I think the intensity between sections would work with more solid production in regards to mixing that harsh bassline and its progression.

I like it :)

It,s a great song, I have listened it month ago and what a nice interpretation! The artwork was meant to illustrate a melodic dubstep's atmosphere
The mixing is godly oooo

Just one note: the link for the art redirects to a Schtiffles song xd

Kysertron responds:

Fixed the link XD
(fun fact: I was listening to the Schtiffles song at the time of doing the description, so that link was copied instead of the art XD)

Not bad! It's a pretty solid build, I would maybe let the bass dance around a little bit more, and I like the high synths punctuating it.
