S?: Bubble Blinders [For SunVox Competition]

This has a very unique vibe. I actually really like it ! Made me think of Pikmin games' ambiances at times, but with a more electronic feel.

There's a lot of techniques used in this track that I don't know about so giving feedback will be tricky. To me, there is just this rise at about 1:35 where it feels you shifted keys and it makes the rise a little less powerful than I believe it could have been if you had stayed in the mood of the chords you introduced in the first half of the track.

Other than that it's like WaterLemonMusic said, outstandingly weird, well done !

Saltbearer responds:

Thank you for tasting my ear meal!

I feel the shift in the rise serves its purpose, honestly. […] *crumples screen and tosses it across the room* I've just been stuck trying to explain exactly how for longer than I'd like to admit… the abstract nature of an instrumental means you can project all kinds of emotional arcs onto it. But whatever it is you feel up until 1:17, you get a brief moment to come to terms with that before it's lifted away, and you welcome the opportunity to be set gently into the oncoming noise; to be cleansed by it. … Or do you, in a sudden, blissful delirium under its influence, trip into it and become broken by it? … whatever, I've overthought it enough.

"There's a lot of techniques used in this track that I don't know about…" — Well, the project file's free to analyze if you feel like it! Following SunVox's UI can be unintuitive for some, but I think I did a decent enough job of making it presentable.

See you again soon, hopefully!
