[AIM - You're going to buy? Right?]

It’s interesting, the harmony feels very bad and the dissonance is too much.

[Coelacanth (AIM 2025)]

This feels like the cutscene where you like either see the fish or like visual novel ah talking to the fish. It gives a good sense of unease like the fish and repetition when used right (like this instance) can make it feel illusional. Good job

SepticDolphin responds:

Thank you :)

[first song]

I like your composition, keep this up and you’ll be scouted in no time!

[AIM - Mechanical Doctor]

This kinda misses the mechanic part of the art. The brass overpowers certain melodic lines and the lyrics have been cranked through the grinder and sounds awful. The song also feels more like a space thing but that’s just me.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

It's a stylistic choice, but I understand that we clearly don't have the same vision, which remains legitimate. This isn't 1984, after all.

Musical creation being subjective, it's normal to have our own different opinions and different musical tastes. Some will prefer Chopin and hate Cannibal Corpse, others will love Snoop Dog and be displeased by Penderecki.

[AIM 2025 - Aquanaut]

Now, I do like it, I just feel like that it’s more of a gamey vibe which it does work but feels like it’s music for a game and not for art. It’s uneasily fitting in which hurts it in my opinion, however it’s just my opinion. It regardless sounds good so 👍

[AIM - Demented]

Now the song is goodish, the main problem is the amount of repetition is unpleasant, but the melody and instrumentation was done well. However, my biggest pet peeve about this is the fact that I’d have to say the art and the music don’t feel matched. The art is more of a glitched space and I can’t judge much on art as I’m no artist, however the music haves a more threatening feel like something bad is about to happen which isn’t the vibe being sent off by the piece of art.

Kiraichu responds:

I understand everything here, especially the repetition gripe. However, this is the way I interpreted the art. It’s what I felt when I looked at it so I took that direction when I was making it. Either way, I appreciate you being honest with your feedback, and thank you for listening :3

[AIM 2025 - Bite Me]

This gives the feeling of a dark mysterious situation which fits well with the art. The only problem I have to say is (whether it was done intentionally or unintentionally) the instrument playing the chords makes a popping sound at the start of each chord. Everything else is done well. Good luck!

[AIM 2025 - Bleu Coffee]

This sounds fine, the main issue is it feels directionless and messy. The instruments are in a sort of out of sync like a poly rhythm but it’s done in a way where it doesn’t harmonize well. The melody also clashes with the organ playing the chords and the percussion feels out of suit. I hope this helps for future songs.

Morpherence responds:

Yeah. The jazz is not my type to makin music.

[calm after the storm]

I like the sounds used in the song and the rythmn is nice, it's just too repetitive

Kamgame responds:

thanks for the feedback!!
