New album by me

Compcat · 07-10-2013, 01:32 AM

It's not my best stuff, but I felt like I needed to release it anyways. I feel like the tracks are really rough around the edges but too good to toss, but I can't work on them anymore because they've gone too cold and distant from me in the creative process. So they've kind of been holding me back from making new stuff. Anyways, I think it's pretty cool, if you're interested in synthy fantasy music.

Here it is

Yeah, it's essentially meant to be "free, but if you got money to burn, I won't say no." I never pay for music on bandcamp, so I certainly don't expect it of anyone else.

And thanks for the interest, guys.

Giving a little review thing now, going to re-listen to parts to refresh memory, since i know how much effort goes into working on music its always great to get comments on it!

alright here it goes -

first i just want to say i really dig the whole dungeon sound and atmosphere you are going for with your stuff, really interesting and a pretty cool concept to base music around!
Good use of sound effects on the first track to set the scene for the rest of the album, really liking the synths and drums you used, really like how you experimented with mixing the big drum bangs (reminding me of the sort of drum that was used in medieval music) , the synths don't take away too much from the vibe you are going for which is great!
Especially liked around 1:46 when the higher pitched synth starts coming in, sounds good, as well as the change at 2:19, keeps the track interesting and sounds great

I really like the notes and instrumentation used on ghost of the princess, reminds me of a banquet type track at the very start like something used in medieval films (if you are going for that type of thing, then great job!)
And the airy high synth sort of gives me the feeling of that instrument being the princess for some reason, if that doesn't sound weird me saying in case you weren't going for that, in a way i feel like that gives the track the personality of the princess ghost theme, love it!

shamans prophecy starts out great, nice note pattern then a cool sounding synth thing comes in and brings in the dungeon vibe, as well as the really cool deep drum bangs in the background giving it a nice but simple rhythm, like it!

Immortal Union has got really great creepy sounds, like the breath type sound, really paints a cool image in my head, gives it a dark and grungy dungeon type feel, really liking this

really like the build up and then calmer notes in hermits sanctuary, good stuff!

Heiroglyphic Forest is probably one of my favorites off the whole thing, i really like the instrumentation you chose for this track, you would be really great at scoring music for something like an RPG game in my opinion, got a great ear for atmospheric music for the themes you are going for!

overall great stuff man, i enjoyed it!

Thanks for the in-depth response, those really are the most satisfying, even if the people did not like it. But I'm glad you liked it and got the gist of what I was going for with this, since it is kind of damn specific niche, completely atmosphere-centric.
