That is a very interesting high pitched, blippy sound sound lmao
Either that's a hardware synth or you are a sound designer from God
Edit: I don't rate much 5 stars whatsoever being a bit of a critic but I changed my mind and this 100% deserves it

That's a midi soft-synth/soundfont. A bit of a happy accident. I found that sound by playing the original midi instrument at such a high pitch it created these kinds of artifacting sounds... it broke down. I then tempered that sound and rhythmized/each note played a different texture essentially. From God? I'd assume a God would sound better. I am but a humble sonic explorer. I hope it doesn't demystify the sound. That synthetic mechanical whirling (As I hear it) was the fulcrum of this piece though -- inspired the rest of the music.
Ratings are for the biiiiirds. Like what you like. You can critique it later.
I like the frantic and dissonant riff at the beginning and the warm, jazzy chords overlaying it. I'm not a huge fan of that snare sample - somehow, it sounds pretty dry and flat relative to the atmosphere of the piece. I like the E-piano solos at around 1:55, and the texture really fills out nicely by the end. I don't mind that snare too much when it's overwhelmed by the pensive, jazzy solos. :D Solid work, LAPSE! ^_^
LLAAPPSSEE responds:
This whole piece started because of that intro glitchy synth noodling. Another happy accident. I get where you're coming from on the snare. It's just a simple noise generated snare. I suppose to reminisce and reference old 8-bit/16-bit games. Maybe it's just to loud. I should go back and add some little effects flourishes or something here and there to break it up. Or some light volume adjustments here and there. Sometimes you just get caught up in a drum groove and let'er ride.
is this an instruments of war reference..?
LLAAPPSSEE responds:
No sir.
Final Fantasy 9.
this requiem is... funky
intresting start off point, glitchy and weird
i like the add ons, feels dragging but thats probably the point
1:45 is a very coll part of the song
3:05 near the end sounds really cool and disorients you a bit because of the different style.
also the jazz melodies really give that uncertain feeling that works so well with the description
i feel like this is related to 'this universe is a cage' because the descriptions describes an escape and the general sounds
well all i have here is a bit of review and some love for the work!
LLAAPPSSEE responds:
I made this straight after "Universe is a Cage". Part of the same file actually. ;)
It's like template+
Was an offchute idea that I fleshed out a bit more. Kinda a quicky. Final Fantasy 9 was on the brain.
<3 the reviews as always.
