First few seconds I was like, “is that a PSR??” Then I read the metadata and got jumpscared by my favorite synth 🤣

I really like the saw arps and portamento square melodies sprinkled in. Great atmosphere too. Good luck in the contest man!

Dynamic0 responds:

Yeah, I'm composing on PSR, but I've started learning FL studio (it's hard). Thanks for the nice words!

Very clean and solid atmosphere, perfectly captures the title. The mixing is fine, but the drums are a bit lifeless like @vekon said. A bit more reverb on some of the melodic elements could have also sounded neat. Hope this sees use in the death match!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thanks for a review! I am personally fine with the drums, although I understand it may seem lifeless. And there is less reverb than I expected there will be. Thanks for your support!

So atmospheric... I just wish their was more variety and atmospheric SFX in the background. Good work!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thanks for feedback, I appreciate it!

really cool! my only two real critiques are 1. the short length, and 2. that the timpani-like short noise bursts sound a little lifeless. i'd maybe vary up/humanize their pattern or maybe do faster triplets or some other kind of tuplet. the melodies and timbres of the instrumentation, especially the chip lead and epiano, are really nice!

the mixdown sounds alright as well, a little dulled, but i think that'd be appropriate for the mood the song is conveying. overall, great job!

Dynamic0 responds:

Thanks for feedback! It was hard for me to find some good ideas in the third part, but I understand your point, I'd also prefer if it was longer. The timpani-like noise is a part of noise drums, which I put there only because regular drums were too much energic. The mixing was a challenge, although I could've made it a bit better. Once again, thanks for the review!
