bassareus ep

(track five, 'archon', is slightly loudly mastered than the
rest, so please turn down the volume a little before it
begins.)

Enjoy!

checking this for sure, will post a critique after I listen
to it thoroughly.

So some general critiques; First of all, every song has some
wonderful, interesting melodies. All of the tracks are
beautiful and could easily go in some kind of RPG. I think
most of the tracks should be longer, especially the great
year track.

gems and archon have really incredible melody lines, but the
instrumentation is really quite bad in some respects. The
flute and piano sound good but the strings sound really
really fake, I don't know if that was the intention but I
feel it hurts the tracks. Besides that I think these are
great opening tracks.

The olymp12 track is awesome, I love the use of the
pentatonic scale. Wish I had this when I was traveling
around Japan a couple of months ago. The strings are such a
beautiful accent to the already cool track. I love when the
drums cut out at the end.

Flora is my favorite, I love the mode you worked in and the
sounds really go well with each other. This has that
innocence that you had in the other track you posted
previously. Really awesome!

I think wine, suffers from the same issues that the first
two mentioned tracks suffer from. The instrumentation is
weak, but the melody is still really cool. I think this
track needs more reverb as well, it sounds really flat.

So that is my humble opinion, I thank you for sharing I feel
there are some really beautiful catchy moments in every
song!

Wow, thanks, man. :)

Yeah, I know about the strings in 'gems'. I'm still
experimenting with the sounds to try to get it to sound
authentic. I built the ep around 'flora' as a contextual
basis of sorts, and went from there.

Really, thanks. I don't know what to say. :D
I'll see what I can do with your helpful advice. Have a nice
day!
