[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 ;)

[Boys Get Turned On By Rulers]

Hell yeah, boy.

EvilSquireAlt responds:

yeeeee

[XenoXenon - Live Or Die]

Loved this.

XenoXenon responds:

THANKS :)

[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.
