(Almost missed the deadline on account of a last-minute transition I needed to add. This track was fun to make but terrifying to listen to while I was racing the clock!)

Haha can just picture you watching that upload bar while this plays and its a wild mental image. Really nice track! I've got some Gaiman sitting in my 'read' pile. Need to get on it!

I like the synth voice texture, it really works with the rest of the instrumentation. Epic!

I really love the anxiety that low end gives to this track. It sounds like the bass creeps up a half step at a time, all those minor 2nd intervals are probably what gives it that tension. And then on the top end the voicings give a lot of room for those melodies to shimmer. Excellent track, glad you made it on time! haha

So many different elements from electronic to folk inspired and orchestral. The voice sample treatment really moves the music along. Epic compositions!  Sorry, most of what I know about Ragnarök was overwritten by repeated Marvel movie viewings with 10-year old son.  Well done!

There's a ton going on here, I like your choice of instruments. One of the most fun things in music is trying to capture a certain feeling or energy, and your tunes are really good for that.

Boy, I love what you did with that voice sample. Such an interesting dynamic, and the orchestral work is very impressive. Nice!

THIS IS SO COOL AND STRESSFUL! I love the instrumentation too. The synth voice is great, I just, so many wonderful video game vibes or anime vibes but all around super good. I would just say it is v quiet and could use a lil loudness enhancements.

Wow, that gibberish really makes it feel way more epic and scary. It doesn't feel quite Norse, more ancient-tech-like, which some might say are basically the same thing.

Great orchestral backing, too.

Haha, it definitely felt like a wild rush in the moment! I actually haven't read too much of Gaiman outside of Norse Mythology, so any recommendations are welcome.

Thanks! I really enjoyed your track this week too – it did an even better job of capturing a fiery sound.

Haha, thanks!

Glorious.

Hey, nothing wrong with that – Thor: Ragnarok's one of my favorite Marvel movies. And thanks!

I really appreciate that! Thanks as always. Your tracks have that effect too.

Thank you!

Thanks! And yeah, loudness is definitely an area I need to improve on. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated!

Much appreciated! The gibberish is actually just English that's chopped up, bit-crushed, and occasionally EQ'd. Glad to hear it worked out okay.

Any language, when chopped up, would probably yield the same result. Especially the way you chopped it up.
