This track will be filling the "2" position on my album's track list, since there are only 2 solstices in a year. I'm really really happy with how this one turned out.

Classical doesn't attract me at all, but I gave this a listen and I gotta say it's great. The sound design is good, although the noise channel could have had a bit more fancy effects (like alternating frequencies for each percussion type, like kicks or snares or stuff, unless they are really meant to be static, like a hi-hat).

The song is great as it is, and the triangle/square echo effect adds to the mix in a nice way.

Good job here. I sometimes have a hard time figuring out the time signatures you use but it's cool to see you make good use of them.

I wanted to make the noise channel sound like an old, primitive NES game (though I guess the other 3 kind of defeat the purpose). I'll try it though.

Why do you find this time signature confusing? It's just 3/4. Anyways, only 7/4 remaining! And I'm dying to try out the pentatonic scale... this should be interesting.

Not this song particularly, it's more in general, since you variate a lot with those time signatures.

Also, nice to know you cycle through different time signatures or other stuff. Makes your music interesting to hear.

There's no need to modify the current noise work in this song but if you want to experiment, then go for it.

This is very awesome great job! Great work! Love the tracks where the triangle is the main instrument and square is use for bass instead.
