[XenoXenon - Soft Hope]

Beautiful work. I wouldn't call it sad given the chord progression. It's hopeful for me. Nicely done!

XenoXenon responds:

Thanks ;)

[Financial Crisis]

My IQ went up a couple points by listening to this.

[DJ Ses Ft. Kellz Catroni - Intoxicated (Produced By Kloud x Axsthxtic)]

This is a tight track, bro! I love the lyrics. It's basically poetry to me ears!

[DJ Ses - Ain't Playing (Produced By Oddwin)]

I liked the track and I feel the chorus can get a little repetitive at times although that may be the feeling the artist was trying to portray with that. Interesting track representing the jealousy peers can have over others. On that end note, are they really your friends?

[DJ Ses - No Emotion (Produced By Kenshi Muzik)]

This jam is tight! I loved it. The orchestration fits the feeling.

[Boys Get Turned On By Rulers]

Hell yeah, boy.

EvilSquireAlt responds:

yeeeee

[XenoXenon - Live Or Die]

Loved this.

XenoXenon responds:

THANKS :)

[Change of Heart (FEB NAC 2019)]

I LOVE this!

[Oncoming Storm]

Loved the melody on this piece. I also appreciated the buzz that was going through the whole song. I liked the chord progression so much! Although I felt it was a bit all over the place (just the buzz) in some parts. Other than that, I loved the feel to this piece. It kinda reminded me of Sleeping Dogs for some reason. Anyway, loved the effects and melody!

ADR3-N responds:

Yo, thanks for the review! Yeah, I probably should have done more with that bass synth, some kind of modulation. I've never used it before and am not at all knowledgeable with the interface, lol. It is a bit all over the place -- I wrote the middle half of the song last, which is basically where the genre shifted from cinematic to a synthwave/dnb type hybrid.

As to what inspired the chord progression -- you're a guitarist, right? You could really benefit from the stuff SignalsMusicStudio posts on YT, in particular song writing and chord progressions. I think the video I watched some months ago that introduced me to consciously choosing these chord progressions is titled "god chords" or something. Then too, there's Adam Neely's stuff on bass reharmonization, which is the technique used here.

[Forever Jazz]

I'm in love. Beautiful, can't believe this was all MIDI.

AzulJazz responds:

thx friend !!
