the drop at 0:47 gives this song a feeling of excitement and then a bit past that part it feels explorative, it kinda feels like a song you would hear in some sort of rpg, like a really amazing menu theme. And then around 2:30 when EVERYTHING comes in its really beautiful and moving, i love it.

I like the bass and vox combo great idea

Ohhhhh man when those vocals kicked in this totally reminded me of that artist Ott. The drum rhythm and the bass is spectacular. The movements in this are fantastic too, I really love that dynamic shift downward at 1:35 with the piano bit. And then the koto part sounds great too. Sick song this week, definitely among my favorites.

Great drums when they come in at :50 damn. Ahhhh beautiful koto part and lead into heavy beat territory. Also cool voices, can't imagine how they're made but some kind of granular? It's a nice unnerving effect v good for the song. It feels like you have a good recipe for dramatic songs,they always tell a story through the intensity arc. Great job!

Solide. J'aime les 2 parties de la piste, mais la finale est epique avec les strings et tout le reste!

Nice! Especially the rhythmic stuttering in the middle and end.

Exquisite production, impeccable sound-design, and all to propel such ornate composition!

Huge sound and epic arrangement fitting for the titular characters. Love the voice and koto. Great mix. This tells a story like your best pieces do! Love that you're using the AI images with these. I've been using some Dall E images in recent WB weeks. Maybe in the new year I'll start posting to youtube more, I'll follow you!

An epic space opera! That modulating bass is massive.  Love the dark shiftings in the chord progression.  Great balance of orchestral instruments and classic synth sounds. The Asian inspired break in the middle is beautiful and sets up well for the driving conclusion. Well done!

Wow those are some great sounds you got in this week, they have so much depth and mixed very well, like all the tension and release in this one leading up to the final section with the beautiful string sounds.

this track creates such a cool atmosphere - it feels like an adventure
that voice effect is super cool
can you believe only one track to go?
did this year fly by for you or drag on?

as per the title/descriptor: please consider this

Lovely work on the opening vocal panning mix and I like how it develops later..  Drums are sitting nicely in the mix and the kotos are great.  Nice one!

I like the variety in sounds, tempos, and fullness of the track.  It's quite a space adventure.

Ooof!  I was enjoying it just with the bass and then the drummer said hold my beer. Epic strings that fill the stereo field.  The Koto brings everything back together very nicely especially once the lead strings come in.  Excellent track!

Thank you very much! Koto is the ultimate underrated instrument!

Thank you very much for your nice comment!

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your nice comment! I find it hard to have some structural variety in weekly beats. I swear you could adjust the tempo and align 10 of my tracks this year and realize they follow the EXACT same structure and dynamics. But hey, if it works, . I really love the koto and how its dry natural sound strikes a contrast against electronic instruments, we need more koto in our lives.

I wish I could say I sampled a lot of voices and panned them etc but really this is just a preset in Pharlight, an instrument from Native Instruments. It has so many voice based cool samples and presets. And you really captured the fact that it is unnerving, mysterious.

Merci beaucoup!

Thank you very much! It seems i do a lot of baroque music in the end. my niche genre is "baroque synthwave".

Thank you Devieus!

Thank you very much!

It's the ADHD track! How many unrelated elements can I fit into a track before it explodes?

Thank you very much for your nice comment, as always!

It'd be great if you post more on youtube! I'd be curious to see live performances as well!

Thank you very much! Good catch on the shifting in the chord progression. I had some trouble to go back to the original key towards the very end, from G where I landed unexpectedly. I think I had to do a 4-5-1 towards the end to go back to the original key of D. It was a learning experience.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for the nice comment! For me the year flew by and I regret not listening to more tracks but I am planning to go back in 2023 to old tracks and listen to them (though i already said that in 2020 and did not do it).
Thank you for the link! I realize that I did not understand the real meaning of "spastic" (which i thought meant "high-wired"). Thank you for pointing very nicely that, I'll make sure to be careful there.

Thank you for the nice comment!

Yup, space adventures are the best kind of adventures! Especially when mixed with egyptians.

Thank you very much ! I have been relying on KJ Sawka's drums samples - so much variety, quality, and great sound.
