[FD - Channel 217]

I played this simultaneously with paranoia and they fit quite well hehe.
Which makes that strange and huge mysterious building even more believable :)
Stay tuned for next episode!

[FD - Where Did the Time Go]

Really cool ambiance, and reading too.
I always listen to previous track to rebuild the mood as i think it helps enjoying the following track (s) more.
It will make a nice story/album when completed!

Cheers, thanks for your interest! 🙏

[FD - Paranoia (NGAIC)]

Where is the pyramid head, where!? Show yourself!
Eerie and beautiful.

[▩harmonograph]

That karplus-strong sound reminds me of good ol FL Plucked! which i used a lot back in the day. It clashes a bit with bass near the end, but still a nice addition, and it fades into reverb quite nicely^^ Maybe take away its low end during chrous and bring it back at reverb time?

Song goes crazy in a good way, as others said the bass is the star of the show^^
The intro distorted whoosh into super clean focused sound is a neat trick!

thanks :)

[Giš Eren Giš Tir - (In The Dark Cedar Forest, Humbaba Sleeps)]

I like that you are expanding on that humbaba spirit/creature? forest theme, keeping the same leitmotiv.(which also serves the constraints)
Could serve as movie/book/videogame soundtrack^^ Very evocative.

The natural soundscapes are marvelous, with so much tiny details.
Some instruments evoke breathing and sleep from humbaba, but the occasional bursts of noise reminded me to not wake the creature up, and leave the area quietly^^

One of my favourite entries.

[Pallid]

I like the running out of battery idea, maybe i would accentuate the degradation a bit more as the track progresses.
The tape? effects themselves are well mixed in, controlled and pleasing to the ear.
The piano chords are beautiful.
Cool experiment and peaceful ambiance.

Lovely night drive!

[continuity error Jazz/IDM/Future [MUSIC VIDEO]]

The chicken pit crowd went crazy^^ I can hear them chirping in lofi througout the track^^
Edit: ahaha no no! I mean the lofi sounds/arpeggio evoke the chicken, after you described your studio the other day^^ sorry for the confusion, the recordings are clean :D

Perfect track to summon proper springs season and melt all that snow^^
Seems like you had a lot of fun creating this track and it shows in the music!
Well done :)

Quarl responds:

Did I forget to mute some of the video? Damn... little chickens are in there and my old washed up ears didn't pick it up D:

[Vanitae]

I get the cheesy chord analogy, as in many musics, it often feels a bit too much and forced on the audience!
Just like when they pull the crying violin in the movie, in case you didn't know it's a sad part, and brandishing a panel "cry now plz" :)

Nonetheless, i have heard way cheesier songs and i find this one quite beautiful!
I'll indulge in cheesiness a bit, thank you^^
