so i FINALLY FINISHED THAT FUCKING GAIA COMMISSION I GOT LIKE FOUR MONTHS AGO

jfc what was i even thinking, trying to do commissions with the sort of time i have

i am extremely proud of this and how it sounds, though

used famitracker, vrc7 expansion chip, even figured out how to use dpcm samples just for this lovely beast

hope whoever cares to listen enjoys. c:

i really hope that person who commissioned me doesnt skin me alive for not finishing this in so long... id deserve it though, good lord

the piece start strong, but quickly drop in intensity and quality. I don't know if this was meant. Then at 1;30 i thought the song ended and i was kinda confused. same happened at 2;00. Maybe it's just me who's not used to this kind of music. I know you're not trying to please everyone and that's perfectly fine.

Then, the song gave me the impression of "falling through time". I kind off blacked out and realsied 4 whole minute had gone by as i was listening. Then the loop started over. You missed a small opening at the end of the music so the loop doesn't match right. And that pretty much killed the sensation i had going. It's not a big deal, but for me, it is. Because for some reason i became hypnotised, then, it's like the music wanted to mock me and slapped me in the face. Truly, it was weird.

All in all, except two or three minor details, i pretty much liked it!

Keep working hard! Stop making excuses and follow whatever dream you have! Don't miss your chance buddy!

You got yourself a new fan here =)

To address the points you brought up, yeah, I was always a little nervous about how the song moved so quickly from high to low intensity in that first 30-40 second section, but i dicked around with it a lot and couldn't really find a way to make it segue more gradually that left me happy with the result, so i just bit the bullet and left it like that. I've asked other people about it and they seem to think it's fine that way, so I dunno, i guess it's a matter of opinion. i'm also really bad at structuring songs lolo

about the whole disjointed looping thing, i realized that for some reason I've always had trouble with the NG music player when it comes to looping. The loop works fine in other players but for some reason this one always stumbles over em. it's quite frustrating, really, and i don't know how to fix it.

But yeah, thanks so much for your excellent review, it's greatly appreciated! :B
