December 30, 20232 yr Hi again Tom, Merry Christmas! Just checking you realised the album cover has a typo ("Witten" instead of "Written"). The first piece in the album is cool and catchy, but it sounds a bit repetitive to me after a while and in my opinion that makes it lose a bit of its appeal. Apart from that, it has a strange abrupt comeback at ~1:55 and some also strange delay at ~2:33. It also sounds VERY saturated at around the fourth minute. In any case, I enjoyed most of it. The second piece sounds familiar to me. Have you uploaded it here before? Again, it begins very nicely (but saturated, at least on my end). However, the bass phrase is repeated around one minute straight and then the very same melody opens a different phrase that turns out to be very, very similar to the prior baseline and which unfortunately sounds with A LOT of saturation too. From minute 9 to minute 10, the very same baseline repeats until it abruptly ends. That kind of end works to me here I would say, but I'm not sure if it's because I was kind of tired of listening to the same baseline for two minutes in total. I liked the first theme more. The choice of the organ on the third theme sounds not so good to me. It seems to be detuned and it gets rapidly eaten by the drums. Once again, the same structure repeats (I guess it goes with the type of music you're trying to produce, right?). A kind of catchy phrase repeated ad infinitum. Contrary to the other two pieces, I think this one was not artificially overextended. The fourth theme has the best beginning though I would say that the high frequencies present in the drums contribute to make a racket more than to enhance this theme. I would say that despite its beginning, this theme is the most overextended one I've listened to in the album. Fifth theme: I am not sure if it's just on my end but I sometimes hear the drums misaligned with the melody line. Not much to comment here as I don't want to be too dense, and repeating myself would not contribute to this goal. This theme sounds less saturated than others, I must say. I liked this baseline more than other prior ones. It doesn't give me that tiredness feeling. Sixth theme: I think this is my favourite one. It's much more balanced and contrasts so good with other themes you made. Still, it sins of overextending in my opinion and has some delays (and sudden acceleratos) or misaligned moments. I think this was your album's best theme. Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.
