[12/31/2023 Reminisce]

Very nice ending to the entire project. Hope to hear more in the future!

Thank you for taking the time to listen to it! I plan to do this every year and I don't see that plan changing.

The fast piano sounds a bit jarring. I'd suggest making the first note in the two note loop a bit quieter, and perhaps tweaking the release time so that it doesn't sound like each note cuts off the next one. Besides that, this track is a bit too repetitive.

I know it was made in a day though, and it's not at all bad for those standards.

Sounds like it's from a music box :) A bit too repetitive though.

[12/24/2023 Slightly]

This is a really good piano solo. That said, the specific piano preset sounds too much like it comes from a MIDI.

emeryllium responds:

That's because it does! Unfortunately for days 24-29 I only had access to a computer with MuseScore installed, so that's what I used for those songs.

[12/23/2023 Whistle]

The snare is too weak for my taste, and I think the track could use some bass. But besides that this is a very nice uplifting tune.

[12/20/2023 Wilted]

This would fit great as an overworld theme on a Stardew Valley type of game. The song is a bit empty, but I think that's a strength in this case.

[12/17/2023 Expression]

The mixing is a bit off, with the cymbals being very loud and there being some noticeable clipping. But putting that aside, this is just a very nice sounding song.

[12/13/2023 Dusty]

The main lead is very loud, and the drums are very quiet, which makes the track feel very empty. But I like the idea here.

[12/12/2023 Anharmonic]

The square lead is a bit louder than it needs to be. Other than that, I really dig the unusual harmony and beat.

[12/11/2023 Lullaby]

I love the use of off-scale notes, they give the track a much more ethereal sound. The refrain ties all of this together beautifully.
