Reviews for Wakeboarding Butterflies

gotta say, this is probably my favorite song of yours now.

the entire thing manages to ooze creativity through unique sound design and compositional choices while still maintaining your trademark style. i absolutely LOVE the way you introduce certain instruments or even entire sections by chopping them up (1:29, 1:42, 3:29, etc.), giving them even more impact. i also really enjoy the warbly synth that comes in at 1:46, which (correct me if i'm wrong) might be the same synth you hear in the background at 0:54 but modified? and don't even get me started on 2:34, in all of its glorious glitchiness & really-cool-lead-ness.

there's a minor thing i noticed at 3:21 where you can hear a bit of popping during the attack of the synth that progressively gets faster, but other than that amazing work!!

me: "welp the B and C sections aren't vastly different so i gotta get crazy to make the transitions still interesting"

"i guess since my cpu is dying might as well play with some renders"

thanks for dropping by star! yeah i really like this track too one of the rare times that happens

the warbly synth is just the same synth from the first drop except with the 'warble' option turned on :PPPPP lol

popping at 3:21 huh gotta listen to that when my headphones work

The intro is nice; it shows off your skill at making an amazing atmosphere. I definitely get some Garlagan vibes from this, especially from 1:41-3:10 and the third drop. It's so unusual to hear a combination of Garlagan's style, your style, and a more PSMD-ish style combined, but it actually sounded amazing together. This also has some amazing composition; I love the way it's arranged, as well as the chords and melodies. There's not much you could possibly improve in this one, so I would most certainly consider this your best original solo piece. Also, thanks for putting this under a CC licence, since I will almost certainly be using this at some point, in some way or another. Also, let's hope we can keep this rated a perfect 5/5 stars since it is one of the few songs I've ever heard that deserves it.

Onefin responds:

dude thanks so much likwify! garlagan usually starts with the drop when he makes his crud so in garlagan fashion that's also what i did :) glad you liked it!

and yeah the fill at 1:41, i like going crazy with those

Oooo...I remember this from CHIPS. Very relaxing vibe at the beginning. Atmosphere is top-notch, and the cute melodies at :35 establish the mood very well. The details of the piece are also really impressive, from the frantic arpeggios in the background to the intricate rhythm of the drums. The minimalism at 2:36 offers some nice structural contrast, too. I love all the melodic variations later on in the piece. You really hit the piece home with the final refrain. I like how the piece is structured a lot, and I have no complaints with the production either. Keep up the great work, 1f1n1ty. ^_^
