on Synthesiz3r - Beach Cruise 84 by Synthesiz3r
Really nice! Could see this being a track being on the radio with the right melody on top. It's 80s without being too obnoxious about it as some people are doing lately, great work!

As always some great work from you! I like that it's just really simple and not overdone, gives it a really cool vibe.

on Dangerous Spaces by StaticNomad
This is really, really cool. Manages to be forward-thinking and a little retro, I really dig it. Could definitely see this being the backdrop for a cool video project or something, but it works excellently on it's own. And more so than a lot of other work on here it really works a strictly instrumental piece and gets a really good balance of complexity without being overbearing.

Greetings.

Great to hear you found it so cool.

Yes, I think it is quite forward-thinking and futuristic. I'm guessing that it's the drums that you found retro. Perhaps they're reminiscent of some 90s dance music. They're probably quite old drum loops so that makes sense.

"it works excellently on it's own"

That's always the aim. I'm sure my stuff could be great for soundtracking all sorts of visuals but the aim is for people to enjoy listening at home in an album kind of format. Some tracks might work on a dancefloor though I'm not really sure as I've rarely tried doing that.

"a really good balance of complexity without being overbearing."

Yes - I like to make stuff buys, complex and interesting but there comes a point when you realise that adding yet another layer of sound isn't going to help. Saying that, sometimes I've got a few cello parts going and think "That'll do" and then I, just out of curiosity, try playing something else over them. And then that new one locks in with the others and adds something worthwhile.

How many layers is too many? There's no real answer to that.

To stop things being overbearing I also usually try to have some lighter, more chilled out sections, to break up all the intensity.

Thanks again.

on ROMANTIC Acoustic Guitar Instrumental by msi02
This is really great, very calming and beautiful. If you are looking for a singer on this I'd love to write on this, but it's great on it's own, no vocals needed.

Really nice stuff here. Sad, obviously, but can see a final version being something I'd definitely have on my rotation a lot.

Really appreciate it, Austin! Am starting to work on my cover of As Long as I Got You. Love love your track. It is what I have been singing on repeat since I heard it. Hehe. I transcribed the lyrics and the line We will build a forest where the world only gave us weeds really struck me. Beautiful. Wishing you all the best in your music. Hope one day I get to watch you sing live.

on My Contest Intrumental - Opinions Needed by BradoSanz
This is absolutely great. My type of music and I think this is a fantastic track, great work. Would love to hear the finished piece with vocals.

And on that note, selfishly, if you're ever in the market for a singer / lyricist on a track I would kill to get my hands on something like this.

Again, wonderful stuff. Hope the contest goes well!
