Your musical skills are at full display here, I love how you wove the two songs together! You added a lot of new stuff, too. You really expressed your style here, and it came out great. I’ll do the judge review when I see all the entries.
Judge review:
Creativity: 38/40
This was such a cool idea! Love the groovy bass and harmonic arps! It all blends very seamlessly. I do feel like there’s more Submerge in this than Walk Away, but that’s mostly inconsequential. Dubstep drops are an interesting addition, the bass growls are a bit odd but not necessarily bad. I more enjoyed the dance sections! You, however, fell on the same stumbling block as G2961: not much apparent structure. But with the way your song was written, that is also just a minor issue. This is the most creative entry in the contest, in my opinion, and very well executed!
Technical: 20/25
The mixing is actually very good, and EQ is alright as well. There’s not really much to say about this track in this area. It’s not very technically ambitious. But there also isn’t much wrong with it.
Atmosphere: 7/10
That groove is very good! The chords in the background help you out a lot here. The dubstep drops hurt a little bit, however. They’re just really empty. But the last section about makes up for it, being very euphoric. Love the feel of this track, and by the way, the ending is perfect for your track.
Instrumentation: 7/10
The instrumentation is really nice in most of it! But those dubstep drops hurt you again. The bass growls just don’t work very well, and again, the whole drop is very empty. It feels like it was added as an afterthought. Again, dance parts were amazing. You probably needed something to add a bit of variety, is that why you added drops? If so, you might could have added a little piano solo or more ambient segment of some sort, just an idea.
Overall: 12/15
While not technically ambitious, this track nails it on creative execution! This track is very uplifting and happy, so different from the original tracks, but so well done! There are a few nitpicks, and the dub drops were a bit strange, this is still a very solid track.
Total: 84/100
Awesome, super creative entry! There is so much potential with this idea, and I think you realized it for the most part! You definitely are developing a style, and it’s good. Make sure to listen to other entries, because everyone did great! Thank you for participating!
