This one went a completely different way than I thought it would. It got a lot darker and took a whole industrial noise turn that I didn't really expect, but it kinda works out for the idea. I was planning on singing on this one, but there's no way my style of voice could do anything with this track.


This one pretty much sums up losing control of yourself and your state of mind from a once calm place.

This is awesome man, I really dig the massive verby drums towards the end and the acoustic riff is beautiful. In the same vain as what TantedLogic was saying, I think vocals would of pushed this to a 5.

Man, I kinda react to music as I do life. I push hard and fast and then don't think about it. it's a weird dichotomy of feelings and wanting to move past them. I didn't sing on this one because I am so afraid of singing. I have a weird anxiety about people and I feel like singing is a place where you're most vulnerable. I need to work on that. It's a mental thing, but... I'm kinda giving you my whole therapy sessions's worth of information, sorry about that. Thank you.

I like the relaxed guitar riffs at the beginning and the minimal drums. I think you're selling yourself short on the potential for vocals in this piece - from what I've heard of your soulful baritone, your voice would mesh nicely with the dark undertones here. The synth bass and atmospheric elements are probably my favorite elements of the piece. At some points, the sweeps are a little loud, but I like the slow-burning climax of this piece. Feels like it needs a soaring solo or more energetic section to hit it home after 2:42, but as it is it has this innate tension to it that's on the verge of boiling over. Really cool aural experience, my dude. Keep it up! ^_^

SensoryDecay responds:

Oof so this one was a really weird experience. I was trying to record acoustic guitar and felt like I did a pretty good job, especially the accompanying acoustic that comes after the rhythm and then I used an 808 bass and it kinda just took a road down a path that I lost the plot on this one, and sticking to my 3min musical end point I just finished without any real payoff or assessment. Thanks for listening though! =)
