[manic]

The happy, campy, excitement throughout this song is emphasized on certain areas which fits the theme the title tries to express very nicely. Good job on this one!

thanks!

[icarus]

Omigod, this is fan-f**king-tastic, dude! I love the synthesized video game symphony you have created. The way this masterpiece is structured is absolutely brilliant in how it perfectly represents the story of Icarus. The upbeat first third of the song is meant to depict the flight of Icarus into the sky. The second third of the song, which is when the song slows down almost immediately, is meant to depict Icarus’s fall from the heavens after the Sun melts his artificial wings. Finally, the last third of the song re-introduced the tragic conclusion to the mythological tale when Icarus crashes to the ground and dies, Daedalus (the father of Icarus, who built artificial wings for Icarus and himself) mourning his own son’s demise and blaming himself. This is definitely a new favorite of mine!!

haha, i was actually about to call this one "and that's when i hit the wall", but the icarus analogy seemed more romantic

[sun palace]

Awww, the Sun, the bringer of life, warmth, and skin cancer. (Ignoring the skin cancer aspect) this song basically sums up what the Sun symbolizes in how it is like a god out of the flesh and radiating with everlasting power and strength. The song’s majestic tone could represent a ray of sunlight shining down on the Earth during a torrential downpour.

trevor8 responds:

thank you, you are so kind!

[swimming]

Words can’t describe how gorgeous this sounds. The reverb is astounding and puts the listener at ease. This makes me think of what it would be like to be on Pandora, surrounded by bioluminescence in a seemingly endless forest.

trevor8 responds:

thank you!

[pitter patter]

Truly majestic and could be associated with envisioning an icy frozen kingdom lost in the center of the universe that beholds endless possibilities. Through this piece’s simplicity, you’ve crafted something beautiful!

trevor8 responds:

thank you so much!

[rosehill]

Sometimes the song is a bit too giddy and loses its heavenly appeal that it initially had in its introductory segment. However, that otherworldly presence at the start effervescently seamed back to the surface like soda bubbles in the ending.

trevor8 responds:

haha, thanks!

[secrets]

The brisk presentation of clean-cut synth makes this song a refreshing listen.

trevor8 responds:

thank you!

[end of a dream]

An eloquently done song which reminds me (especially in its introduction) of one of my faves of yours, screendream. The only setback with this is that I wish there could’ve been a drum section of this song which would make it more alive and upbeat. It’s a blossoming flower that just fell short of its full growing potential. But I still think it is beautifully orchestrated in every way, your blending of different types of synthwave was brilliantly executed giving it a powerful and mystical sounding harmony which I particularly liked. Keep up the good work!

trevor8 responds:

thank you! i appreciate your input!

[blue front]

Melodically gorgeous and full of life. It gives off an almost overwhelming sense of wonder while discovering a new world beneath the sea of breaking crystal water. Really sounds like movie material!

trevor8 responds:

thank you!

[amber]

This song contains a gratifying stoicism that truly makes it shine and it even gives me autumnal vibes too like I am sitting on a bench and watching the amber-tainted leaves swaying down to the ground beneath my feet. The upbeat parts hit the spot in the perfect time frames of the composition which blends well with the harmonic synth playing below the chimes. Really great job on this one!

trevor8 responds:

thank you!
