[Puerto Rico Suburbs]

Some of my extended family is from Puerto Rico. I can confirm that this is an accurate portrayal of the suburbs of the impoverished island “nation”. I can imagine someone making a featured demon in geometry dash with some ridiculous name but insane decoration and using this song and people go on the level and say what? Lol. Anyways nice atmosphere and glad you used a Caribbean instrument.

VariableGR responds:

Xd I already figured it out
Thanks friend! Nice to know your Puerto Rican descent(つ ✧ω✧) つ

For a hip hop song it’s very professional sounding. It sounds like something from the radio station which is very hard to do well.

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you!!

Like the others I am also getting a modern 80s vibe with the synths mostly. The slow tempo is interesting, I haven’t seen much of that recently for this type of music. Progression is great as always. Outro is better here than previously because the melody slowly fades away into background chords with a dissonant chord right at the end. Definitely very unique and well done.

trevor8 responds:

thanks! much appreciated!

Getting death note vibes for some reason

Pumping out bangers faster than the media pumps out horrific sounding headlines. Yet another clean track with a catchy melody, top notch structuring and mixing, and something I would listen to while doing honestly anything at all. An underappreciated feature of your songs is the length; around 2 minutes works so well. I just have one little knack about the outro: it happens suddenly and since the track flows so well you almost expect it to keep going. Other than that great job here, keep it up.

trevor8 responds:

thank you! i always have trouble with endings, they either seem too sudden or prolonged, i will try to set my mind on improving this for 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚!

How did you get your music available for GD?

@KalTheMan replace the second line, “with colors painted on” to “are you the same as us”

“Don’t think about listens”? Lol this guy gets thousands per song and for good reason.
Pumping out tracks faster than someone posts news about covid. Impressive considering that they all are equally amazing and have great theming. This is no exception: a simpler track in terms of amount of instruments but that works given that underwater things are so much more peaceful and calming. I just have a small issue with the outro: it ends quite suddenly relative to your other tracks, given that this sounds like a water theme for a game maybe it could have been a loop of some sort rather than ending as it does now. But overall great job as always.

trevor8 responds:

haha, i am grateful when anyone listens! it amazes me every time, and if i could organize my thoughts in writing without second-guessing, i would better express the scope of my gratitude. thanks again for the kind words!

[Centre of the Stage]

Missed this one in my inbox for some reason.
Anyways I love the jazzy feel of the background chords, almost feels like a group of dancers dancing to some ballet type thing (great explanation I know). This quietish thing at 1:18 is really near and I think new to your style although I could be wrong. Absolutely adore the glissandos, they really add a lot of uniqueness and as a string player I know how fun they can be to play. Really well done.

Tangerine responds:

Thanks. My vision while making this is of a small jazz group performing a gig in some casino (I say small but there's quite a few instruments there). I completely agree, Glissandos are loads of fun to do.

[Gliding through the Clouds]

Oh look it’s choir in the background. Very fancy sounding melody, especially when the guitar comes in. Fancy as in grandiose and sounding like a banquet for royalty music. Again, using both sides of the “cello spectrum” (high and low notes) makes that part sound really emotional. The whole song is emotional to be honest, which makes sense given the title. Very well done, I like this more than falire.
