Interesting concept, good sounds!

Everything is saturated so nicely in this one! It turns out that the melody is also quite engaging, as if it were some kind of rotating sigil...

I can't stop listening, I keep looping it! definitely a favorite! Great tones (love that Koto/harp) and melody, it's beautiful

Catchy as all getout. "Easy as it gets." huh?

Yea, it took some tweaking, but I'm quite satisfied with these.

Almost as if some force worked my hand.

It was me, I was the force. Melodies are my thing.

I know what you mean, but I know it has untapped potential. 25 bars isn't quite enough.

I mean, in theory. The song writes itself with these kinds of rules. 5 instruments, fixed 5 chord progression in a pattern (1-3-5-2-4, mode depending), 5 times through, and one track only plays notes at least 5 steps apart from the previous (two actually, the distorted guitar arp and the koto).

Just adhere to these rules and you'll find there isn't really all that much creative input required, or even allowed.

I really like this.  Very beautiful.  Agreed with Gab, I am going to download this and loop it!  Excellent work.

The distorted guitar type instrument is really cool.

Yeah the distorted sound is cool.  Pentagrams are a nice Halloween-themed symbol also.  You know, for wholesome Halloween activities like blood sacrifices or what have you.

Thanks.
The distorted guitar is just the standard gadget distorted guitar with a little bit of extra effect to it.

When I made it I had a more mathematical version in mind, but I guess this works.

Fascinating process. Incidentally, Dorian is my fave mode, and 5/4 is my fave 'irregular' time signature. Also enjoy how you've maximised the 5s by also having 5 5 bar progressions ^_^

It's a running theme with this song, I started out with the concept of a pentagram and worked my way from there.

Really cool creative process with the 5s.  The chord progression is hypnotic with it's melody supporting it.  Nice!

It's definitely enchanting, I really liked the approach here with such a set theme.

Rich sounds and great pop appeal. the 5/4 timing gives it the feel of pushing forward or forward motion. Strong melody and accompaniment. Great synth sounds all around!

Sounds like a good review then. You're right on all counts of course.

This is magically good... the metallic soundworld gives it a pleasantly abrasive, almost industrial quality. It works great in contrast with the gorgeous melody lines, almost like robots putting up their own string quartet.

It's a lot of things and I'm not sure it's entirely done, but you're completely right on all counts. Especially the metallic sound, I was super satisfied when I just decided to up the attack.
