[Triumphal Entry]

Congrats for the frontpage. Such an awesome piece. I love the change of pace/tempo and scale through out the track. very original, especially for a hybrid track.

Phonometrologist responds:

All the picoday submissions are frontpaged-- small selection this year. Thanks for your help and feedback.

Very fitting the artwork. I wish there was more development between the parts tho. Interesting how you keep it very cinematic. That bass in the background is dope as fuck. Sad to see the ending is lack of elements to get it pumped up. This track had a lot of potential if you add transition here and there. I do enjoy this one. Good job dude.

well I tried my best but there is still a long journey ahead of me :)

[Penderecki's Dream]

OMFG YOU JUST DROPPED DA NUKE! (no pun intended)

What you kidding me bro? this piece is going to win so hard it will knock everything else in the path. The production and quality overall is above and beyond. Thank goodness I listened to this in the noon time, else I would have all my hair on the body stood up at midnight. And I'm listening to this on loop, that's something.

I have heard Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima before this piece (in Children of Men), but I do believe your rivals that piece. Mind melting work. The amount of detail is amusing. Damn I ran out of vocabularies to describe this...

i don't want to sound like a wimp but this piece brought back some dark memories. Sometime I wish I could undo my life and start over again, erasing all these unpleasant memories. but i can't.

thank you for this mindblowing track.

Phonometrologist responds:

I actually hope it doesn’t win, because I don’t want to offend anyone if a non-tonal piece places over other tracks that are. But also, judging music in general is hard to do since it has many points of personal opinion and tastes, but by adding to it an aleatoric piece makes judging it even less quantifiable. Thank you for the endearing remarks. However, I can’t ever put myself in a position next to Penderecki as he envisioned and created this style. The laurel wreath remains upon him as the creation can never surpass its creator. At a technical stand point, I emailed 8Dio that we still need a library that could change in oscillation in realtime of the string’s tremolo like in "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima.” Also, In “Threnody…” the tone clusters has different string players resolve to microtones. We are still far from achieving complete control of what a string player can do in a performance. But then again, the argument would be that these companies are only interested in creating libraries for commercial use.

[Deep Blue]

very psychedelic feel and chilling. i love how you always try out something new!

etherealwinds responds:

I get bored too easily is what it is. Thanks for listening and reviewing :)

[Winter Wonderland]

ABoyWithABalloon responds:

[AIM - Nostalgic Recollection]

Everratic responds:

Thank you!

[BRUCE: Bretta's Theme]

It's like a cross of Zelda and Ori and the Blind Forest soundtrack. I hope this get frontpaged. It's very chill and folky like. Amazing how you used mostly Factory Selection for this. :O Like Lich said, it's amazing. Great job dude!

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

That's a wonderful compliment! To have my piece compared to the music of Zelda and Ori, is quite an honor :O
I doubt this'll get frontpaged, but I'm really glad you like it!
I used the fatory library, not the selection, but they are similar! They're alright, but definitely not as easy to use (nor as great) as some other instruments out there :D

Thank you ^ ^

[INB4 Trouble]

rad work. i think you got it there!

DESHIEL responds:

Thanks man. I am thinking about expanding it. :)
