[Strings of Life - Harp Edition]

I close my eyes, and I am in a cutscene in a possible fantasy game, or D&D game. I am faced with an oracle, and the oracle is revealing upon me wise words of wisdom, and the truth of my origins, and why it is me who is to take on this arduous journey to save the world. before sending me off on my merry way for a great quest ahead.

Sorry! I got lost there for a second. I am really enjoying this simple you serene and welcoming piece you have done here. Isn't it amazing how one unfinished piece that you once never had the lightbulb idea for in the beginning, suddenly is brought back to life later and sometimes even twice as better? I love those moments of unfinished business getting finished. It is just so satisfying.

Seeing your other works, I am more than impressed. Following for more.

Mad love, Glow <3

Grandvision responds:

Oh wow. Thank you for such an in depth look into your mind. Some vivid imagery there. I enjoyed reading it. I actually think this is one of my worst piano improvisations but it's interesting to see how everyone's views on what they consider good music to be different. It really gave me some confidence back to composing hopefully again.

[Unimportance - Ghost of the Tower]

This is a pretty nice experimental piece you have here! Really loving the crisp instrumentation and diverse mix.

I wold love you to build even further upon this if I was to make a suggestion. I think this has even more potential that I know you will surely unlock (If that is, you would ever do a revamp of this gem!)

Keep doing what you're doing, and keep messing around with even more of what you've got, and I think you are on to something with this particular style!

Mad love, Glow <3

Unimportance responds:

thank you very much. I will try my best

[Nexus]

Hey hey would you look at that? You pretty much nailed it for just the second attempt, my guy!

The whole goal of artcore, is to just have fun with whatever you're producing using everything in your arsenal. And from what it sounds like, you definitely put all of that fun and effort into this production. Loving the soundfont and instrument selection you got going on with this one. This one could be a fantastic theme or OST in a video game, oooor a wonderful addition to my favs; that too!

I look forward to hearing possibly more renditions of this genre from you, and many more. It is so interesting to see what all of you talented and incredible composers and producers can come up with in your own unique takes on different genres.

Mad love, Glow <3

G2961 responds:

thank you very much! Your comment means a lot to me! Yes, every musician has unique and different ideas about music, so it sets uniqueness for everyone (except those who write Phonk, lol)
I really liked the process of creating this song. of course, except for the lags that slowed down my FL due to master pitch automation. but still, I'm so glad that I wrote my best Artcore, which currently has 8 thousand auditions!

[mididuck - we dream]

Jesus my dude! You really know when to drop a banger when I am not looking. Your use of the synths are pristine, and the bass shakes the speakers just enough to make the whole listening experience both fun and enjoyable! The overall mix flows fantastically, and this is going straight into my favs forever!

Mad love, Glow <3

[Song of Autumn]

Now this sounds so nostalgic for me, you have no idea!
You know what I get when I hear this? I picture myself and my cousins sitting around the DreamCast, experiencing what those games and what they had to offer for the first time for the short moment it existed, before many years later, finding my love for the GameCube and Wii, and the funky yet fun type of music returned to my ears once again.

I really love the upbeat aspect of this jazz piece, as often times I hear slower and more ambient jazz being on today's table. But frankly; we need more of this almost 00's core VGM type jazz back on to the scene. Keep up the good work!!

Pro tip: Try adding even more instrumentation! Add an extra sax here, a cheeky bassoon there... As long as it sounds good to you, do it! <3

Mad love, Glow <3

[Dread {Pt.1}]

Absolutely marvellous work! Your organ riffs are absolutely bang on with the bold yet haunting choirs, and the flow of the track is flawless. Epic is definitely the choice word, with heart racing staccatos, thundering drums, the ominous weaving of brass and strings, all come together to create a captivating and exciting orchestral piece.

Definitely going to keep my ears and eyes out for more of your content. 5/5 across the board!

Mad love, Glow <3
