Reviews EatMe Woopi Woopi is the tightest song this month. It’s so tight and direct, and demands your ears. I’m feeling this is splash screen theme music on an early video game, but one that is a cult classic, and people cover the splash screen song in their bands nowadays. DoctorBob Elevating the ...

----- Canese Masterpopp Honestly this sounds more like what synthy shoegaze? than 80s synth pop. Bottom end is amazing in my room, warm and fluffy. Embracing. Gorgeous changes, and accompanying sounds in the background. Love the detuned-like textures makes me feel melancholy in a really good way. Th...

erictracks - Burning Down The Night The only possible issue I find with the track is the synth interludes in the verse are very loud compared to the vocals. I'm glad you pointed this out -- the synth interlude levels were a conscious decision, and I'm still struggling with it. I was trying hard to ...

Composer: erictracks Title: Burning Down the Night I really liked this month's theme. My quick initial note for the song was "this is about how the daily horrors of the world will burn you up, unless you feel the love of your favorite people. How a constant grind will wear down your conscientio...

Sorry- in these comments I use the word epic a lot. By epic I mean those big movie theater drums and strings, like I dunno a hollywood blockbuster soundtrack. Last Mohican or some shit. ------------------ Anthemic NDE -Sounds good like a very high-end british TV crime drama -Insanely crisp and clean...

Hi it’s been a while. My track is called ‘maybe it’s a good thing’. It’s a selfish title, because I know it wouldn’t actually be a good thing. I don’t support an internet blackout. But as a thought exercise I couldn’t help but consider how the internet has created this bizarre cauldron of reaction, ...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC05 January 2018 - Winners announced

I just wanted to thank you guys for the feedback. Your entries this month were killer. Tbase2000: I was ecstatic you wrote 'bass is on point', since you mentioned it's your main instrument. Your comment about the time to develop themes was right on. I'm always working on balancing patience and bored...
