[Phantom Africa | 2023]

Some epic vaporwave DnB here. Very intellectrual sounding. Kinda reminds me of Soul Hackers 1 actually! Friggin' hawt. IDK why this masterpiece isn't in my usb jam collection. Welp I'm fixing that now. Thanks for sharing!

Bertn1991 responds:

The jam collection? Oh my, the honer—it is high. Haven't played Soul Hackers yet, but it's on the list. Anyways, thanks for listenin'!

[Koumei's Challenge | 2023]

Oh yeah, I heard this track before on your YT. Some seriously bad ass Megaman X and SHMUP vibes here!

[Zephyr Base | 2023]

Dig that 80's vapor/synth wave rock. The chord-work is especially epic...and gotta have that sexy synth brass baby!

Bertn1991 responds:

Only the sexiest synth brass will do ^.^

[Nimi Nama | 2023]

That is definitely one epic World acoustic big beat track there. Nice work! Love that electric Dulcimer sample from Omnisphere (That is what you used right?)

Bertn1991 responds:

Oh, good ear! Love me some Omnisphere.

Thanks, as almost :^)

[Midnight Gallery | 2023]

Very beautiful work!

[A Colder Blue | 2023]

Hitting up with another comment copy/pasta from your YT cuz i be lazy lol. Wow 2023 is almost done... So Happy New Year in advance :P

"Damn, I love how 'A Colder Blue' evolves. Perfect name to a perfect track. The 1 minute mark reminds me a lot of a lot of Enix and Atlus games back in the day." -me from yesterday =p

Bertn1991 responds:

Wishing you a prosperous and productive 2024 :D

(Holy goodness, we're in the mid-2020s.)

[Camel Star Hit Record | 2023]

Holy crap, that lead synth work is killer! 'Camel Star Hit Record' is definitely going into my car mix collection hehe. Funky!

Bertn1991 responds:

I recorded each part with my keyboard for this one, having a fun time with pitch-bend wheel.

Whoa, the car mix? I'm honored. Huge thanks :o

[Lovebug Forever | 2023]

Saw this on your YT, so imma copy/pasta my comments :P
The strings and drums certainly fit the image hehe. And that chiff flute thing is cheesy and I am here for it. Composition is brilliant as always. (Also that warbly saw at the latter quarter is a brilliant touch). Love it!! <3

[Carmilla | 2023]

Nice low-fi GBA-ish styled Castlevania-inspired theme thar!

Bertn1991 responds:

Definitely big-time Castlevania influence with this one. And Bach probably. I do like Bach. He should release a new album already. It's been almost 300 years. Anyways, I thank thee :-)

Whew I definitely hit the snooze button in 2022. Guess I dropped off pretty hard after 2021 at Newgrounds. Anyways, this is a lovely take on my favourite Bertn tune. Okay maybe there are like 10 favourite Bertn tunes, but hey. Love the new mix work on the drums so they really shine out front. In fact the entire mix is pretty clean, at least on my headphones. The Chorus with them hindi percussion and that thicc bass and the brassy saw...LOVE IT!!
