[Iced Wrist (G-House)]

Whoa crazy! This is excellent! The beat's poppin'. Honestly commercial level. Really, really good! Haha

[H~ "Melancholy tune"]

This is really beautiful <3 love the composition and strings <3

[Desert Chant (ft. Holly Fresh)]

Yes this is innovative and great. The mixing, the innovation, the way it is all cacophonous and yet incredibly contained and massive. The freestyle beatless poetry that makes its way through weaselling and just easing through is so evocative. <3 excellent all the way through. Cooked to crisp.

Thank you!

[Resentment]

Yo this is siiiiiiiick. Love the loop! You've done great touches throughout too to keep it interesting. Real nice! You have a new fan :)

CyniR responds:

I appreciate it, thank you!

[bit coin]

WOW. Incredible. I love the loop and the great way that you've EQ'd the snare, the percs on the right ear. The eerie "music box"-ness of it all. The scratching at 0:25. The progression of the "old radio" sound that happens at 0:45. The subtle "taking out" of the beat at 0:56.

This is really good! Love it <3 You have a new fan :)

[tree root]

Whoa! This is greeeat :) I like the little clinks and clanks you can hear without, and the semi "2-step garage" type feel you got going. It's sort of Moby-ish too ^_^

I like! You got a fan :)

thanks hard being crative sometimes

[Alone]

Wow, this is excellent! I love this <3 So epic. I love your piano playing, the epicness of your tone and your light touch.

The arpeggios. Then the strings or whatever you start to bring in at 00:35 are very evocative. I wonder if it's supposed to be quite retro sounding? A lot of the high end is taken away. It's still great, though, mostly because of the epic composition.

1:11 Heck those melodies are soaring! Grats!

yeah this whole thing is exceptional, what can i tell ya? Brilliant.

[Logic Gate]

0:00 It starts quite slow but getting there I suppose!
0:25 The bass here is taking up quite a few frequencies. It's quite all-encompassing. Perhaps you could choose a sound that is less massive? Or just turning it down a bit? Not sure
1:06 I do like the sounds here though! Quite interesting scales, mending together of diff melodies. That part is great.
1:24 Nice contemplative ending. The bass is quite all-encompassing, though! Might need some EQ'ing to make it less annihilating XD

Overall great song! I like its playfulness, the interesting things you are doing with scale, and the original groove. Keep creating! You're great :)

RetroCore responds:

Thanks for you feedback! :D

[Journey]

0:00 Ooh I love the arps! Very nice!
0:35 I love your melodies. They are exceptional. They work really well together, especially here.
0:56 The "007 style" staccato is working well here.
1:12 The kick is a little bit weak (i think could use some high end) but still groovy
1:24 OOOOOH i do like the groove to this piece. Disco-ish! I think that your main synth could use perhaps a bit less low-mid? It's muddying up the mix a bit. But it's still groovy!
2:10 I like the overall feel of this!

Wow, this one is actually pretty great. I like the progression of it. Really builds. I do think that the major improvement here would be mixing, because there seems to be a lot of synths taking up some of your low-mid space... and then even some clashing on the high parts. So experiment a bit with taking some low end out of those "lead synths" to give them colour and make them stop from competing for your low end.

Other than that, very solid! This is real nice and danceable :)
