A rather simple piece

[Strunch]

..but it has some good elements here and there (in my opinion). Let me know what you think, folks.

Download/stream: Solar Tension.

I hope you'll enjoy it.

This is just a quick comment based on my first impression.

It absolutely have some very good elements and I enjoy the overall character and the "theme". I have mainly one point of critisism: From my perspective it would stand to benefit quite well from using more "counterpoint". Of course not in the classical sense, but still in the way that the different voices, or layers, could create some more tension and/or harmonic development by not moving in parallels (unison) most of the time, like for example the bass and lead tend to do.

That's just my initial observations. Thaks for posting this piece, I very much enjoyed listening to it!

Best regards,
Frederik

Official review by Magle! :)

Thanks for listening Frederik, and I agree in full with your review. In fact, I agree so much that I tried to remedy the "mistake" but ended up with an entirely different piece. I shall keep this in mind next time, as this is not the only piece of mine that suffers from this phenomenon.

Thanks again! :)

Best regards,

I believe you let me hear a WIP-version of this tune earlier because i recordnize the chords. I enjoy this tune very much. I like the sinister feel it has to it.

Yes, you may have heard a WIP of this via Messenger, or you have heard Extraterrestrial Life which is a piece I made right before this one; which is also focused mostly on fast rythmic synths, and not very much on the melody.

Glad you like the "sinister feel" :)
