I'm interested in the way you described the format of the piece-- by the amount of chaos rather than the notes themselves. I agree with you in that your piece is loosely of the ABA format. I'm curious as to why you chose 8-bit sounds, and how you chose which melodies would make it into your piece. Additionally, I wonder why you left in the harmony in during some parts of your piece but didn't use it in others.

Nice! You definitely nailed the nostalgic, chiptuny effect. The transition between the middle chaotic section and the Song of Storms was well-done, though perhaps you could've added more suspense by speeding up the dissonant section and suddenly going back to a rhythmic tempo.

This was a lot of fun to listen to. I was listening to this with someone else in the room, who instantly said "Are you listening to Pokemon?" so good job on authenticity. Like Ivan said, it definitely gave me some nostalgia. You should check out LSDJ, a program for Gameboy where you can create 8-bit music! I think you'd be good at it.

I love the 'alarm, something is going wrong' section a lot. That is very well done. Also, using 8-bit sounds is an ingenious idea. That said, I agree with Ivan, that you could have built up to the last section a little bit more.

The beginning is so pro. I like how chaos increases as the track continues, giving the sense of a loss of sanity!

Original work. I agree with that you achieved your objectives in the "going wrong" section. The form is not really ABA, since the motives at the end are not similar to the one at the beginning. You could add a layer (a nice 8 bit rhythmic background layer) to make it more attractive.

I commented on "Sample/Sequence", "Ominous Chillout", and "Sampling+Sequencing".
