[Composition 5]

What is this account? I never knew it existed until I accidentally put tangeroni instead of tangerine into the search box.

Yeah ok this is clearly one of your earlier tracks. You can tell by the terrible sound fonts and bad mixing. The melody itself isn’t terrible but the same four chords are too prevalent and need to be messed with a little to give it variety. Not to mention they are a popular pop song chord progression but with the order flipped around. And literally no outro. I don’t know what I expected from something literally named “composition 5” but I’ll rate it accordingly.

[Starship Showdown]

This is still my all time favorite bossfight song. Of all of them, this feels the most like an actual bossfight, and it’s the catchiest melody when it comes to the drops. The guitar solo at the end fits so well it’s unreal, and then don’t even get me on the epic story this song tells. Something about a space warrior getting beaten down and having a huge redemption I think. This would make for a great movie, very well done.

Wow I’m here early lol. Really getting 70s synthwave vibes from this. Loving those instruments and the mixing as always is excellent. It is a little slow for my tastes, but that might just be me. This is great music to relax/study to and I could see this getting a good amount of well-deserved attention.

I just realized, you started uploading a song every Friday. While this is good for keeping a sustained viewerbase, a new song once a week is bound to get tiring after a while. I prefer to stick to no set schedule, even if it means I haven’t uploaded for weeks and weeks. Just a suggestion :)
By the way, what software do you use? My guess is FL but it could really be anything…

haha, thank you for your kind and thoughtful words as always! i use "Reason", some of my favorite patches sound like an oberheim or arp. the brass and string patches sound so vaporous and warm.

[[TMM43] Melodia]

Really nice melody! It’s nice to see how your style has improved since those early days. Me personally, I am not the biggest fan of hardstyle music as it all tends to sound extremely similar, but this is one of the better ones I’ve heard. Nice job!

[The construct]

Takes me right back lmao.

While this is a cool novelty, unfortunately, there’s a reason dubstep moved on from the “yay” sounds: compared to today’s, it sounds significantly worse. Therefore, my favorite part is from 0:00-1:01, really nice atmosphere there. Good job anyways!

Gietler responds:

Thank you!

[The Final Phase]

The first 1:48 is BY FAR the best part of the song. If I were you I would have skipped from 1:48 to 4:35 and make 4:35-the end minor key.

[They’ll Call It a Tragedy]

Really nice classical piece! Although if I were you I wouldn’t have included the progression in the description. Also I’m not so sure about that outro, it doesn’t feel like it did this 8 minute song justice and I was a little underwhelmed. Actually my favorite part is the “crazy part” at 2:16-3:10. I sort of wish the whole song built up to that to make it even more impactful, as the person seemingly commits suicide, and then the funeral March afterwards as the outro. Either way, great job here!
