[Macrocosmic Malfunction]

this atmosphere is diabolical

LD-W responds:

Wait until you hear the dark ambient album I'm releasing in a couple/few months ;)

[Windows Out]

But Mr. Black I don't want my windows to be out

I didn't even know know they could do that 😭

BusanBlack responds:

Some windows open out. I have windows that you pull on a reel and they open towards outside. Gotta let that fresh air in to keep the stink out.

[Bonfire of Spirits | 2024]

You should make a boss theme using this motif. Idk, an evil spirit rises from the bonfire and tries to rent our hero asunder....

[Punch-Out-Down]

this shit is nostalgic asf, nice work

[Sweet Honeydew]

Sweet mother of battery acid hot pockets, my boy Jacquavius Black be dropping every 12 hours🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣

7/4 is refreshing. Drums could use some dynamics and a bit more variety but that's about it. nice work as always!

edit: oh wait it's Jamuary

*thats* why you're droppin so frequently

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah I hadn't come up with a song in 7/4 so I was like ok lets start at the basics. The drums definitely could use more variety but with life and all I only get like an hour or 2 on each song per day. I think Im going to come back to some of these songs and spiffy them up a bit.

[WALL OF FIRE]

Once again, no need for the T-rating. If the song does t have lyrics there's basically no way it could ever be offensive, so just rate your stuff E.

You guys have some long ass intros in some of your tracks. A little bit of silence is fine, but 10 seconds is a bit too much and I would suggest trimming it a bit.

Apart from that, this shit goes hard as fuck. Mix is really clean, lead is simple but is supported by some interesting background elements.

At 2:24 th3 mix starts to distort a bit because of that kick. I would suggest turning it down a tad, and also adding some kind of lead-in? Like holy i was not expecting that, a warning would have been nice lol.

Well done overall, I enjoyed this one.

[EDGE OF REASON]

I have a little bit to say about this one.

First of all there's no need for the T-rating, nothing about this is inappropriate.

Second, the track could definitely use some polishing; the melody is very repetitive and the mixing in that middle section is a bit harsh. I would suggest bringing in some other melodic elements, like a second lead or something, as well as putting some sidechain on that kick because gawd dayum that shit is muddy as fuck. I have to admit it goes hard but it does gets repetitive after a while.

Not bad. Keep up the good work gang

PROJECT-Variance responds:

Thanks a lot! I Was a little scared id get issues for the album cover, so i did that as a just in case.

[BLOOD LOSS]

I'm not too sure why you arent scouted yet...

*ahem* I'll take care of this! ☝️🤓

[Winter Night]

This shit is fire as fuck. Synth lead(s) are really and the whole track feels super nostalgic.

That break from 0:55 to 1:22 is beautiful and is definitely my favourite part of the piece. All in all, very well done; keep it up!

As a side note, there's no need for the T-rating. I notice a lot of your tracks are rated this way, and there's nothing inappropriate about any of them. All this does is make your track less accessible to people, so I would recommend you just rate your stuff E instead as there's literally nothing in your content that would harbor a different rating.

Stone9 responds:

Aha! Thanks for the advice. I'll change the rating :3

[Rest Here for Now]

is this c major?

I like the ride bells and reverse trash stuff, gives the track a unique feel. Panning on the perc is nice, and the neat lil plucky synth coming in in that latter half is really nice as well.

Short and sweet. Well done Mr. Black!

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah this is c major. I went with something happy. Thank you. I wanted this song to be longer but with it being Jamuary and not having a lot of time on hand I usually make at most a 2 minute song. I think Ill come back to rework some of these.
