Love it!

This is a great song... I've always wanted to create that kind of glitchy percussion but it never seems to work out for me. Any tips and/or useful samples you could give me?

Those reverse vox (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they were) really added to the strange yet very cool feel to the song. It's a perfect mix between laid back zone-out and mess-with-your-ears glitchy.

I can't really give you any tips or criticism on this track because my attempts to create the same kind of thing haven't turned out so well. So sorry for the basically useless review lol.

I can tell you put a lot of heart into this track. Good luck with the MAC!

Great!

I hear the Reason samples! Muhahaha, very prominently in the glitchy sounds ... very nice. Reason users unite!!!

Okay, enough of that ...

Great diversity in this piece.

Perhaps the only place where I could suggest improvement is where the pads fell out and it was just drums. That part lacked depth and felt a little empty. To me, it felt like the drums were trying to take control of the soundstage, but couldn't do it. I would've made the drums come on stronger there, almost a little hardcore, to give it a drum break feel, or added some hard compression to make everything in-your-face-sounding, which would've worked nicely with the flippy sounds you got in there. The kick sound on that part was somewhat weak also. I would pick a different one.

Haha, sorry to tear that drum break apart ... Again, the piece is great, and if I absolutely had to pick something bad about it, it would be that. The way I see it, it's more preference than anything else.

I'll be competing with you in the MAC6 this month with a VG piece. Look out for me, 'cause I'll be on your ass, hahaha jk. ; ) Good luck!

P.S. Loved the little "off switch" click at the end. Genius.

well, even though im not one for this type of music usually, i liked it alot. it sounded alot like a song from ff7, which is always a good thing.

well done mate

a wonderful tune, and a well deserved winner of the MAC. The choice of synths, the glitching everything oozes class, which to be honest is what you are. all your music is phenomenol and i am really impressed with the consistant level of your output.

5/5

10/10
