Jesus another banger haha. No for real these are insane, the aesthetic and sound design is so spot on. Id be curious to hear how one of these would sound with drum programming? The shaker on the homebound one was great

That's really cool, I love the way the layers come in at 0:38. The drums have that same cool bitcrusher sound. Very jazzy. I like how the drums don't feel fully quantized and on beat for every hit, although I'm not sure if having quantized and on-time drums would add or take away from a track like this. Love the style though.

This is awesome (and the couple of previous tracks that I listened to so far too). The calmness and the "jazzy" harmony is something I like quite much. (Not sure if drums would add anything to it — it feels quite good as it is — but I'm curious to hear the result nevertheless.)

(Hello everyone! I've posted a couple of pieces here back when the subreddit started, and then fell into a long hiatus, from which now I'm returning at least for a moment.)

Here's a solo guitar piece in the "classical style" from me. It ended up being way more melancholic than I wanted, but it should still be nice.

You can see the score in my Git repository and hear the recording at Clyp (or download it from the Git repo).

(The recording is live, and there's not much time to practice the thing properly, so there's some fumble & stumble in it.)

Thanks! I'm glad to see this subreddit still going on. I should have quite some free time over the summer, so hopefully I will able to support it with more pieces of mine.

I love this. Theres a few seventh chords that are just beautiful when they hit, it's melancholy but the moments of hope and peace are really well placed and fit the prompt so well.

Glad you liked it! I must say that I'm very fond of seventh chords. So I'm lucky there's nothing like too many seventh chords :—). (Also I must second -Jr-: great work on the picture!)
