Results In a landslide 1st place with 15 points: TheVideoGamer And the last place hero with 9 points: Hleet The only remaining entry is Souperion’s Bonus, so the remaining positions are inapplicable. I will send a source pick for Round 135 I hopefully for next week (Roughly the 21st of August). Congrats to everyone who participated, you peeps did great! Comments: Wow looks like I won by a landslide. I’m sorry Hleet. Now this is going to be a challenge, as I’m vacating for 2 weeks, and MIDI rendering is not really possible on IPhone. So the last resort would be to use a ready made MIDI from VGmusic. Oh well, I’ll assess it in the upcoming days. I actually had a MIDI ready, but I forgot to transfer it from computer to mobile lol. So this is going to be quite the challenge. Anyways enough ramble, congrats everyone!

Ditto. Still a bit miffed for missing the mark here. Oh well. Cya guys some other time, perhaps.

Voted, good work guys.

I have no problem hearing the source connections in this mix. The mixing though is very flat and lifeless. The vocal chants sound dry and they are sitting on top of the soundscape instead of living within it. I do love the idea of this arrangement, but I have to agree that the soundscape palette sounds the same throughout and as MW said I've lost interest at the two-minute mark. Some of the elements sound very rigid, for example the plucked string that begins at 2:35. It is rigidly timed as well as mostly hidden within the soundscape. The track requires a mixing overhaul with EQ to bring each element into it's own place in the soundscape, and also a drumless breakdown would be nice to break up the repetitive energy level. The drum pattern remains mostly unchanged once it begins, and it eventually becomes fatiguing. Dropping out a few elements and adding new and surprising ones would also help break up the feel of this. NO

Production and theme are great. It's creative and transformative for sure. The integration of synth and ethnic sounds is tricky to pull off but always fun. This uses an elegantly crafted soundscape with rich atmosphere. However, it drags. The general tone and energy level are constant for its 4 1/2-minute length. Nothing gets repeated per se, but everything sounds the same. The vox are nearly always there and doing basically the same thing. Same for the bass, the pads, and the drums. I lost interest at about the 2 minute mark and nothing pulled me back. This would be great as part of a score for a movie or game, with great emotive ambience. But as a standalone track I can't get into it. NO

Missed the bus there, oh well. There's always YouTube I guess lol. I'll slap a vote in there at least. ?
