Not sure how i haven't heard any Mr Bungle tracks before, right up my alley type of stuff 😍

Glad you liked it!

The ISW Shreddage guitars and basses are good stuff! Another all around nice FREE electric bass instruments is the AmpleSound Bass P lite

Probably if the bass parts on the track were soloed, it would sound pretty fake since i didn't change articulations at all and just played everything in with a Sustain articulation 😂

I totally get what -NOVA- meant with the Dragon Ball Z vibes, those little parts at  0:53 and 1:45 really give off that Bruce Faulconer feel 😁

Good stuff!

Felt some Rick Wakeman influence on these 😄

Adding to your discussion with Kale i feel a lot of the "too improvised" feeling comes from the fact that a lot of the sections on the tracks just go into a new section without any elements of the new section being teased beforehand, making it feel a bit abrupt and lending to that improvisatory/noodley feeling to a listener.

I feel if you focused a bit on smoothly transitioning between parts, your tracks would be even better, since the sections are fantastic on their own.

As a whole i love these, absolutely got some big prog rock vibes like i was listening to stuff from Rick Wakeman/Keith Emerson.

Like DSound said, its a nice melody! But it felt to me you could have some rests in the main parts, or move the melody to another instrument at some point, since as is the cello just keeps playing without a rest it gets a bit taxing to listen in the long run.

The musescore sounds dont really do this justice, but is sure if this was played live it would sound/feel a lot different (in a good way😀)

Nice one!

Just WOW!

So many good tracks, with absolutely stellar production and in just 2 weeks.

Cant really say more than that I'm really jealous and good job!

The vibe is great with the hybrid brass/string sounds and percussion!

Like Kale mentioned, the violins feel a bit separate from everything else (kinda like they are really close to me, while everyone else is in the back of the room ), I think if you made the strings more distant and added some more reverb to them to simulate them being more further in the room they would blend in to the ensemble better.

But still, great track either way!

Vibe is on point with the theme, but after the piano starts doubling the bass part it gets a bit too muddy since a lot of the instruments are playing in the low/low mid registers. Maybe cutting some low end from the piano, or not having too many other low register doublings going on could help a bit, just my feeling.

I think you nailed the vibe of the theme for me on this, good job!

Really meditative vibes, would go well in a silent hill style atmospheric game.

Good job!

Nothing screams Elden Ring more than those string textures 😄.

Really gorgeous stuff, only thing that felt a bit iffy to me on the first listen was that the very constant snare drums started to feel a bit too much as the battle theme went on. I'm pretty sure that in a gameplay context it would feel just right, but listening like this it gave me that feeling (just my subjective feel, so take with a grain of salt 😅)

Fantastic work!

There's a sort of really nice "crappy but not crappy" lo-fi quality to some of the sounds you used, like for example the strings, that I really liked.

I can agree with a lot of the things Grunt. already pointed out, especially with not having too much stuff in the low end to avoid muddiness.

The muddiness can also easily come from low end building up in the reverb, which you can alleviate by cutting off some low end from the reverb signal.

Good job on these!

For the whole first 70% of the song the drums were so loud it was really hard to hear anything else, but after that the short guitar and 808 drums section sounded nice!

Since i did the per track write up on your last jam submission, I'll do the same for this one 😄.

Death:

The saturation/distortion on vocals was a great choice, really adds a lot to the vibes!

Bit of a Master of Puppets vibe with short just the drums and guitar harmony part

Steppes:

Those little conga/bongo fills were great!

The stereo stuff with the guitars was also a nice touch.

End Of Time:

Love all the textures/sound fx made with the guitar, adds a lot to the vibe.

Like you mentioned this really feels like a menu tune or maybe a sort of "not in combat" track.

----------

I didn't go back and listen to your last submission to check, but I feel your production skills improved a lot from the last one.

I used to listen to a lot of old blues rock and heavy metal so this was really fun to listen to.

Good job on these (and to mastersimrad for the solos 😉)!

Production quality top notch as always!

Gave me a sort of Resident Evil meets Metal Gear feel with the sound palette😄,

Loved that mangled voice stuff you had coming every now and then in the big section, really cool texture.

Absolutely stellar stuff!

Groovy ass cowbell on the first track 🔥

Love the whole serious but not so serious vibe with all the different instruments, the Cuica was a bit of a suprise at first but actually really cool on the last track.

Nice one!

Love the switchup in "Evil" Vs Evil with the piano coming in.

Can totally hear the anime influences, you especially nail that slice of life "characters just doing random stuff" quirky style.

Great work!

Yea, the combo of not so upbeat lyrics over a upbeat song is a pretty stable thing in a lot of Finnish pop music, especially older stuff.

This track is pretty good example of that, with the music being pretty upbeat/cheery, but the lyrics are about a young person who wishes to be a race car driver, but keeps driving recklessly and crashing multiple times and somehow surviving, but in the end of the song collides with a truck on the freeway for the final time (either dies or gets paralyzed after that, the wording is a bit ambiguous).

Glad you liked it!

Tried doing vocal stuff but couldn't come up with any lyrics during the last Impressions jam, so stubbornly tried again for this and managed to write something 😁.

Also found out during this, that writing ideas down with a pen and paper seems to help a lot in getting the brain to work than just using notes app on the PC 😅.

I can only echo everything -NOVA- said, really stellar production and immaculate ambience/vibes!

There's not a lot of music that can you just close your eyes and Feel the music, but these had that quality for me.

Great stuff!

Like Mechpie mentioned i get some Danny Elfman vibes too!

Love all the little references sprinkled here and there, and the arrangements and production is great.

Only thing that stuck out to me while listening, was that the solo strings felt a bit too dry compared to the rest of the ensemble.

Stellar stuff!

Really wacky and fun, in all the best ways 😁.

Based on your description and the vibes on the tracks, this would probably fit nicely in a binding of isaac style game.

Good job!

Agree with Hey_Yoshi that the track feels a bit hollow, but that could also just be the musescore sounds themselves being a bit thin sounding, as the writing itself is great!

Nice one!

The Transformation felt like it could have been a unused track from Howard Shore's Lord of the rings score, chromatic mediant stuff seems to always give me LOTR feels 😀.

For The Battle i think the more classical/baroque style you used fits the theme a lot better than a generic modern cinematic style. This could fit nicely in a souls style game with it's aesthetic.

Love the really atmospheric vibe on Origins and Death Boss with all the percussive sounds.

Nice one!

Really dig the grainy delay stuff on the moon guitar in the first track.

Nice one!

I'm a sucker for those fast echoed arps 😁. Like the tracks, but felt they could've been a bit longer with a second section/part to them. 

Good job!

Glad you liked it 😀

This really has that "final moment to save the game/stock up on items before starting the boss battle  in a JRPG" vibe to it.

I can already feel that when the boss battle starts, those drums are going be kicking things up a notch 😁.

Good stuff!

Haven't played Earthbound so I wasn't that sure if this fit the vibes (mostly based this on listening to the original tune), but happy know it does 😀.

Really like the track, but gives me more of an  Animal Crossing vibe to me than Earthbound (Haven't played Earthbound tho :D).

Nice one!

Like others have mentioned, this might not really fit as a shop theme as it is.

Really liked the sound that comes on the left side at 0:48, works great for the vibe!

Really fun vibe, especially like the accordion/melodica sound a lot!

Good stuff.

I get what you mean, the B part ended up too "stabby" with the left hand stuff on the piano.

Many thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Don't know how I never realised what that synth lead actually sounds like 😂.

Glad you liked it!

🙏Thanks for the kind words!

Kinda had an old 80's adventure movie soundtrack style in mind with this, like Klaus Doldinger/Giorgio Moroders music for The Neverending Story.

Glad you liked it!

Maybe a tad bit too dark to fit the picture for me 😅.

But really give's me the feeling that the Spirits of The North are heading to battle, especially with the middle percussion part.

Nice one!

Like Kale mentioned, the bass overpowers the cello a bit because of its power.

One thing that might work as an alternative arrangement for this, is playing the bass part on the lower register of the cello, the upper part higher on the cello and then later maybe adding some plucked bass to give power to the low end, but not to overpower the cello (just a quick idea I had, not sure if it would work😅).

But other than that, good job!
