Enjoy the melodies and such here, but the drums needs quite a bit of work; they feel thin
>>64027264
While I enjoy the sound design here, the overall composition and vibe don't really stick with me. The vocal sample is nice but is a bit too "chopped" feeling
Levee Breaker wins
>>64027465
Levee Breaker here.
Appreciate the feedback- I was thinking about that as well. I'll work on that for the next one.
Great stuff man! Was just checking out your most recent one. I dig!

>>64027805
won the battle against >>64027932 imo
I liked both though and they were very interesting but the production quality for me was better on ghoulbirth's song, and it hit pretty hard. Great stuff from both though!
>>64027932
here
>https://soundcloud.com/abelian-1 (amber)
synth at the start is promising...
would have liked it more had it gone straight to the part with the bass after the fade.next part kinda goes on too long with the one chord progression, abd the way those harmobics come back in doesnt help.
>>64027805
similar problems with this one, that one synth.
i mean i'm in no place to say shit when i have a song up that has no begining or end and has one part.
it came down to texture and sound choice which to me makes

Bit weird and hard to get to grips with. Applause for experimenting though
>>64028132
Loved the sample, very catchy. Snare could do with more snap, imo.
For me, the winner is >>64028132 !!!

(an elephant and a kangaroo go skating)
although i like repetitive elements in music, this was a little bit annoying experience. the change around 3:20 could have come earlier to make me like it a bit more.
>>64028132
wins simply because i could imagine listening to it again without regret. the sawy synth at 1:00 mark is really nice element
>my music: instrumental hiphop, atmospheric, ethereal beats
https://soundcloud.com/the-arcanist/place
>>64027932
dysfunctional but still nice breakcore-esque beats although >>64028132 also had nice instrumentals yung sponge had a more dynamic and unique sound

>>64027264
out of these 2 Perfecting The Art of Drowning takes it for me
i did like the change ups in >>64027218 but it had me constantly looking forward to what was next
as opposed to >>64027264 where i could turn my brain off and just listen and it near perfectly fit my mood rn
will leave a like when i turn on my cpu

You're drum track and guitar melodies did it for me. Not a fan of guitar music without drums unless it's acoustic

Any chance you listen to johnny polygon?
>>64029378
I used to listen to the song I've been running for about 4 months straight if that counts
>>64029412
Yeah it counts lol, but I was thinking more influenced by. at first listen you vaguely reminded me of him
gonna declare >>64029296 the winner here
the concept (giving each instrument a character) is really cool, and i was surprised to see in the comments that all of the instruments came from a soundbank. good shit
>>64029323 was pretty good too, although i think you should work on your flow just a bit. keep it up!

I think I prefer the cosmic/ambient vibes of some of your tracks... Not so much into the hip hop flavor of the other guy above you, but that's just a personal preference. Not knockin' it, though. You both seem pretty talented!

I listened to the first track of each page. I feel a little guilty now cus I realized the loser's was a bonus track but I had already written it out.
>>64029323 (WINNER)
https://soundcloud.com/kidofevil/callin-on-u-prod-by-saul-alvino
"Callin On U" - Solid beats and production. Your're flow is fairly quirky but I don't think you've honed it in yet. If you're gonna rap wierd, it has to be really good. I go from hating the lyrics to liking them, line by line. Not sure the "I'm the shit, yo" style works for you. I like the funny lines so much better ("Soiled it!") It's not like you're a Tyler the Creator rip-off but of course people compare you to him.

"Wings (bonus)"God damn was that boring. It's hard to make instrumental stuff like this interesting and I don't think you can get away with not adding something new each measure. The sounds were nice and the production sounds pretty good but I was so bored. It's also very original sounding. That being said, I think it could sound pretty good with someone rapping over.
