[Sensationally Qualmish (instruments)]

Fantastic work James! I especially like how you're pushing sound design to realms I haven't heard before.

JamesHeart responds:

yeah i was really pushing the boundaries here trying to make it work while also breaking rules

this could be Drum'n'Bass but i felt it broke to many rules

This is my favorite episode currently. Yep, it must really suck to have your art stolen by lame, lame dickheads. I think bands hiring based on an account's following is a very real factor in their decision-making process when choosing who to hire for gigs.

1:26:00 - Newgrounds mentioned! Stick Figure Animations are cool.

Getting a tattoo where one of the words is missing from your deep, inspirational quote is funny. That is actually a valid way to bring down the price. If the quote is too long, you could just remove a couple of words to make it cheaper.

It’s a good point, the people who try to replace artists with AI wouldn’t be good people to work for in the first place.

[Windswept In The Chilly Nostalgia]

Excellent song! The structure is good, and nice jazz.

ZuwerWS responds:

Regarding the structure I'm not 100% satisfied about it. There are two main factors as for why it came out the way it did: Gentle Giant / Time Crunch. Last week right in the middle of when I was working on this song was the first time I listened to any song of Gentle Giant, and to be honest I love their progression and style. I already listened to the entirety of the first album, and today once I'm done with the solo for the second NGMC song I'm gonna listen to the second album. I also originally, well during the day I was really crunching it hoped that I'd have enough time to turn the minute long solo into a four minute long one and basically have it switch much less frequently, and develop each of the little tunes it transitions to much more, but eventually I was just so tired and done I decided to take everything I had and make a Frankenstein monster out of the solo, and while I think it does sound alright, I definitely wished for much more, but oh well, I'll try to make my next attempt much better

[Finding Falkor]

Great bass, and the breakdown is very satisfying.

JamesHeart responds:

trying to catch the old vibe without going old ^^ .. i see things i could have done here

[Wonder Deep]

The sound design is very expressive.

JamesHeart responds:

yeah i was trying for odd idea here. ^^ .. things come to mind when i think about the choices i had with this

[Deku Palace Tribal Dance Remix]

Super uplifting track with amazing energy!
