moon mine

Happy Week 4! Can you believe February is just around the corner?

Keep up the great work everybody!

Damn, my first comment got eaten up by some server lag sad

I'm definitely getting those moon mine vibes from the echo-y percussion and that excellent little synth line that reminds me of Metriod (not necessarily melodically, but texturally). And I loved the when the guitar line comes in and becomes a prominent part of the song after those tasty snare hits. Especially when it starts getting all that harmonic richness around 1:58 with that pitch-shifting synth. And very nice come-down back to the beginning motif.

One month down, eleven more to go!


love it. keep it coming

That main rhythmic synth arp sets course for the moon indeed..  The guitars take it to the next level.  Like I should be exploring the moon in my suped up lunar landeRover.  With the bass and vocals added it really fills the mix so nice.  Well done!

Love the progression and the sense of building/going somewhere throughout. The feeling at 2:40 with the unexpected chord change (modulation?) was so satisfying and is maybe something I've heard/felt from some other tracks of yours - I expect a different resolution but the one you picked is way more effective!

Dope!

enjoyed this track and the lore as well.

Love the guitars in here. the bells fit very good as well. Great

Moon adventures in full effect! What will happen next? Ooh, that guitar lead that comes in is soaring! Nice one

Epic layers. A real anthemic feel. Love those guitars at 1:14! Very uplifting with a touch of moodiness. 

is this quiet?  or is it just me?

i need these guitars C R A N K E D

feels like there is a band playing on the roof of a church, on the moon.  awesome!

The title and the description take us to a cinematic world. The guitars are really good - nice melodies that cut. The synth from around 2:00 sounds a bit like a choir, feels epic and dramatic.

i feel like i can take on the world now

Neat to hear! Love me some Metroid. heart And I had a lot of fun with the pitch-bending synth line, so I'm glad it worked out okay!

Thanks! The bells seem to be popular. Can't say I'll stick with them every week, but I definitely like using them.

Thank you! To be honest, even I don't know what'll happen next lore-wise, but I'm looking forward to figuring it out.

Good to know, guess I'll have to do some serious guitar cranking going forward. But I'm glad to hear I managed to hone in on some kind of church hall on the moon vibe. big_smile Thanks!

Nice! Wish I had that kind of confidence, but I'll be glad if at least my music can inspire that kind of feeling. Thanks for listening! heart

And that gif is heart ADORABLE heart

Hell yeah, this is sweet.  Those are some space synth pads if I've ever heard them.  Digging the guitar too.  I feel like there's a theme here though and I need to start from the beginning (sorry been super busy this year).

Febuary is just around the COLDER
This is a cool space saga song!

Thanks! (And no worries about, I definitely know the feeling.) I've been having a lot of fun this year trying out different arrangements / instrumentation, and I'm glad to hear it's paying off so far!

Hehe, indeed.
And much appreciated! Thank you. big_smile

Still very much your Capybara style but I can appreciate you exploring your horizons. Agreed with a lot of the comments, very deep space synth. Also really liking the bells that chime periodically. When the guitars come in it sounds like an even more processed post rock song.

Nice melody lines

A theme song most epic. It goes hard and it goes to the moon, what else would you want.
