[The Audition]

This is a masterpiece, both movements are awesome. Really impressive work. 👏

DigitalProdigy responds:

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

[Midnight]

Man this is killer, just holding back a star, half of which is because the mix is a bit loose compared to your most recent work and a half because you should well record vocals for this track. I really dig the vocals on your latest release and I reckon it'd be worth applying that same vibe of chill indi vocal to this. (Also just realised that cos I'm listening in the order form latest to earliest, I'm falling into the trap of using your most present capability to critique you previous self... I should have probably started from the beginning. 🤦🏿‍♀️😅 but yeah hope I'm not coming off overly critical, I feel like I'm being like "well the first song I listened to had vocals, where have the vocals gone!?" So take it with a pinch of salt.)

SensoryDecay responds:

I was in a pretty dark place when I made this. I was drunk, in film school, on an off and on relationship with a girl. It was messy, I was still dealing with PTSD not from war or combat or anything, just from a girl. it's weird that women can cause this. It helps in art I'll tell yah that for shore.

[Inner Circles]

That's sick 👏 fucking lethal this one. How you slide the main motif through the different timbres and subtly shift the line is really impressive. Genius sound design. 👏

SensoryDecay responds:

Dude I had a ton of fun with this one. Logic Pro rejuvenated my love of making music. I'm such a lazy fuck and horrible with money so I don't have a proper studio so anytime I want to make music I gotta set shit up and as I'm getting older I just don't care enough to do that so having a mac and logic pro changed that completely. I can create all kinds of stuff... dude this sounds like a friggin infomercial for Macs and I kinda hate it now. BUT I love making music and love sounds so thanks!

[Natural Balance]

I love the depth of your mixes man, just lush as fuck. The only thing that shaved half a star was the shimmery sound that pans from right to left, it was a bit loud and became a touch invasive. Really well arranged though, the peaks and troughs are beautifully done. I really love this shoe-gazey alt-rock lo-fi thing you do. Reminds me of 65daysofstatic in places, if you've not heard them I think you'd dig em.

SensoryDecay responds:

absolutely agree, I'm meshing a ton of genres together into one shoegaze idea. Slowdive is one of my favorites. I absolutely heard of 65daysofstatic. I dig'm, but not my go to. Another one is Mellowdrone, Jonathan Bates is such a great artist, although he went to born again Christian, which is fine, but I was kinda disappointed. Either way He's my inspiration.

[Altered States]

This is awesome man, I really dig the massive verby drums towards the end and the acoustic riff is beautiful. In the same vain as what TantedLogic was saying, I think vocals would of pushed this to a 5.

SensoryDecay responds:

Man, I kinda react to music as I do life. I push hard and fast and then don't think about it. it's a weird dichotomy of feelings and wanting to move past them. I didn't sing on this one because I am so afraid of singing. I have a weird anxiety about people and I feel like singing is a place where you're most vulnerable. I need to work on that. It's a mental thing, but... I'm kinda giving you my whole therapy sessions's worth of information, sorry about that. Thank you.

[h8ju]

This is sick 👏

Voltus responds:

thank you!

[Competiton]

This is sick, really well put together. 👏

PsiStarOfficial responds:

Thanks man :)

[Close Enough]

This is beautiful man, great work. 👏

SensoryDecay responds:

Ahh, thanks a lot man!

[Drift]

Nice man 👏 this is brutal. I'm busy AF until this competition season is over, but it'd be great to get on a Djenty collab at some point in the future.

FarFromSundown responds:

That'd be awesome man! No worries, but feel free to hit me up whenever you wanna do a collab! I appreciate you listening! Good luck in the competition btw!

[Wrath]

Great work Ace 👏 the best of luck to you.

AceMantra responds:

Thanks! You too!
